isabel marant sandals: steal vs splurge

Have you been lusting over these beautifully studded, gladiator sandals from Isabel Marant's S/S13 line as well?

I have, for a very, very long time in fact but I'm too cheap to shell out the money required to have these in my closet.

Thankfully, I found this pair from Mango Touch which totally have the same feel as the pricier Marant's, studs, rhinestones and all included! The style is slightly different but I still think they make a good replacement, what do you think? :)

To tell you the truth, I've actually been stalking these for awhile as well. Their original price was around P7500 if I'm not mistakened. Although crafted with genuine leather, I wasn't ready to pay that much because I just bought several other pairs from both Mango and Zara. But yesterday, as I was strolling through Glorietta after my Body Shop event, I decided to pop in Mango Touch to check out the sale and lo and behold, these were on final markdown from P7000-P4500-P3000* and finally P2450!

Such a steal, don't you agree? They're super comfy too.
