I think we can all agree that designer items are on all of our wish lists! This Yves Saint Laurent handbag was one of my first designer bags, and it’s one I’m sure I will have for a lifetime. Although I love my designer items, it’s pretty hard to shell out that kind of money all the time. This past year I have come across some really great dupes for designer items. The quality of each item is pretty and good and for less than half the price! Below are some of my best finds of the year!

   Christian Louboutin Dupe

Splurge                                                                                         Save

1. Christian Louboutin: $675

2. Steve Madden: $90

Other than that famous red bottom and a little bit of a higher heel, these Steve Madden pumps couldn’t be a more perfect dupe for the Louboutin heels! I’m seriously considering buying these in a few more colors. They are such a gorgeous heel!

Gucci Belt

1. Wide Gucci Belt: $450

2. Wide Gucci Belt Dupe: $19

3. Skinny Gucci Belt: $450

4. Skinny Gucci Belt Dupe: $15

When I discovered this dupe for the Gucci belt, I ordered it immediately! It really does look so much like the real one, and the quality is pretty amazing for the price point. If you’ve been eyeing that $400 Gucci belt, but can’t justify the price, this is your belt! It’s out of stock at the moment (a lot of people have found out about it recently), but I will keep you guys posted when it restocks.

Gucci Handbag

Splurge                                                                 Save

1. Gucci Handbag: $1980

2. Suey Boutique Handbag: $38

I literally just received this bag this past weekend and I’m already in love! When I saw the hardware on the front the first thing I thought of was the Gucci bag. This one is great quality, has a bunch of compartments inside and comes in red and white as well. I think I may just need it in red too!

Valentino Sandals

Splurge                                                                           Save

1. Valentino Rockstud Sandals: $975

2. Mossimo Gladiator Sandals: $28

These sandals are one of my most asked about pair of shoes. I bought these last summer and wish I would have bought more! There are limited sizes left, so if you love them, don’t wait! Snag your size while they’re available, because these will go quick. I ordered mine in my normal size 9 and they fit good, but if you’re between sizes, I would recommend going up a half size.

Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots

Splurge                                                                       Save

1. Stuart Weitzman OTK Boots: $798

2. Goodnight Macaroon OTK Boots: $148

I love over the knee boots! These Goodnight Macaroon boots were a pretty hot item this past fall/winter. They come in black, grey and a cognac color; all of them are gorgeous! I own the black and grey pairs and ordered them in my normal size 9. This site tends to do sales every now and again, so take advantage of it when they do. I believe if you sign up for their emails, you receive 20% off your first purchase!

Designer Sunglasses

1. Gucci Sunglasses: $455

2. Quay Needing Fame: $55

3. Dior Sunglasses: $440

4. Quay Desi x High Key: $65

I think it’s safe to say I have a slight obsession with Quay sunglasses! I own both pairs of these and love them. I have a couple of pairs of designer sunglasses, but I still find myself grabbing my Quay sunnies when running out the door. Both of these pairs are great dupes for the Gucci and Dior styles above. Be sure to check out Quay’s website, there are so many really cute styles; I now own 4 pairs!

Those are my top picks for splurge vs. save items! What are some of your favorite dupes you have found?
