One of These Things Is notLike the Other

The post seems to have disappeared, but Sugar Rock Catwalk recently discovered a striking similarity between some pretty damn ubiquitous Dolce Vita wedges (that's the DV version, the "Pali") and Target's Mossimo "Pilar" sandals. Interesting. Looks like Dolce Vita's not the only brand with whom they're, uh, taking the collaboration a little further.

Last spring Target had what I thought was a pretty cool collection by Cynthia Vincent. Unlike with Dolce Vita, they don't have the brand's shoes in stores right now, but check this out:

Cynthia Vincent "Roma" gladiator wedges, a pair I recently admired on the feet of a coworker and then web-stalked. They're amazing.

Annnnnnnd, exhibit B:



Mossimo "Priya" wedges.

Pretty blatant, I'd say.

For the record, I still want the CV version.

Late to the Party: Cynthia Vincent for Target

Peeps, these Cynthia Vincent for Target shoes kinda rock. Looks like the black gladiator wedges sold out (boo), but I picked up a pair in brown at an upstate Target this past weekend. I am so glad Carl indulges my Target fixation. Anyway....



The straps on these gladiator wedges, $29.99, were kinda loose on my regular size, but a half-size down solved the problem. Yay!



I also tried on the strappy ring flats, $24.99, in a half-size up (which was actually fine), but the straps were flopping all around, so I passed. Maybe a half size down would fix it also? I might actually go for these in white, since I just bought yellow sandals.



And I'm digging the hot pink studded thongs, $24.99, though I'm wary of the toe strap. Seems like just ASKING for trouble.



Surprisingly, the tribal-print wedges, $29.99, are still available. Weird! They're so cute!

I'm gonna hit the Matt Bernson sample sale on Friday, and if I STILL need sandals, maybe I'll order up some of Cynthia's and hope for a good fit.

Then all I'll need is some NICE GODDAMN WEATHER. Seriously, why so winter???
