Hello Dolls,

It's officially confession time. I am guilty of withholding important information from all shoe shoppers. An earlier post featured the awesome " Studded  Star of the Show" black peep toe pump that was the highlight of my completed concert look. To the naked eye it appears that the designer could be Sam Edelman, who has some of the hottest shoe designs ever.
The truth of the matter is that the designer goes by the name Michael Shannon. The second I saw the shoe I knew it had to be mine. The Crystal encrusted heels cost me $99. The strikingly similar version by Sam Edelman was originally priced at $199.95. After some searching I saw the shoe priced from anywhere between $132 (http://www.shopstyle.com/)   and $149 (http://www.6pm.com/) at the least. Michael Shannon's design pleased me just fine and I couldn't argue with the price.
From what I can see, the main difference between the two are the soles of the shoe. Michael Shannon version has a black sole and it appears a little flatter toward the front. Sam Edelman has a light brown sole and it's slighter thicker in the front area. I could be wrong because the photos are similar. At any rate, there it is! I can sleep better at night knowing someone will be rocking a gorgeous pair of shoes and at a slightly lower price. I'm all about fabulous finds so I will keep everyone posted.

Ciao for now ;)
