The YSL Tribute Sandal has been seen on the feet of countless celebs and it's easy to see why. The leg lengthening T-strap and four inch heel is swoon-worthy.But at $760 a pop, it's extremely pricey for the average diva. Luckily, Urban Original has the same design for $13.99!

I've never been a huge fan of handbags (I prefer jewelry and shoes) but I love a dainty cluch for a night out. And I'm not afraid to admit I love Kim Kardashian's style. Though I'm not really sure what she's famous for, she's a cute girl and a constant companion of hers is Christian Louboutin's Triangolo clutch.I can't see paying $795 for a bag that can only hold a BlackBerry and a debit card, but DSW's $25 Sasha Pleated Criss Cross clutch (bottom) is a pretty close...
