Giuseppe Zanotti Banded Buckle Sandals

Thank you to reader Julie for this great find!

Giuseppe Zanotti's suede banded buckle gladiator sandals retail for $895 at Shopbop.


If you love the look of the Zanotti version and don't mind leather in place of suede, Guess has an almost identical pair for a lot less cash. They retail for $110 at Macy's and you can click on the photo below to purchase.

Celebrity Look 4 Less: Taylor Jacobson (The Rachel Zoe Project)

Taylor Jacobson, one of Rachel Zoe's assistants, wore this gorgeous ruffled black coat on Monday night's episode. Designer of this coat is unknown (sorry about the crappy photo. If you'd like to see it on the video, click here and go to approx. 1:44 in).


This coat by Guess isn't exactly like hers (less ruffles for one) but it reminded me so much of the one she was wearing that I had to post it as a celebrity look 4 less. It retails for $158 and you can click on the photo below to purchase (also comes in gray).
