One of the most anticipated knockoffs of the season is a remake of Acne's dramatic Atacoma wedges. Made popular by Alexa Chung on her MTV show, these shoes have been all the rage and highly coveted by fashion bloggers.

For me, I've wondered if I could ever justify paying $500 for an overly-popular trend that may be on the outs this time next year. I don't necessarily like the idea of purchasing complete ripoffs but then I realize that I am buying the shoes not for the label but the look. Plus, the new version has a smaller platform which I'm actually thankful for. I can imagine being a complete clutz in the Acne ones. I have emailed LF regarding the Alexa booties, and Callista responded back with an early-November arrival date and stated that they are not doing pre-orders but taking names for a waiting list. So, my name is now on the list, and we shall see how the Jeffrey Campbell version fares.

On another note, I just received a pair of lovely Seychelles pump wedges that have completely satisfied any cravings for the black/brown version of the Acne Atacomas. I am a sucker for wood and leather combos.

I love, love, love the cutout in the wedge. So glad I swooped these up off the UO website. They only had my size left, so I knew it was meant to be. ♥♥
love the JC versions! did LF happen to mention what they are selling for? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGot a response from Callista and the price is yet to be determined on the Alexa booties. They should know in the next couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of the Alexa Booties in a size 7 that sadly don't fit me. I am selling them if you are interested.
