We’re all looking for that French chic spirit in our fashions–but often we don’t like the beaucoup de bucks spirit that is often associated with French glamor. But! Do not desesperez! If you’re in the market for a cheap French fix, why don’t you try La Redoute. The clothes are (often) cute and cheap, and hey, even the shoes are (often) cute and cheap! Voila:

Ventilo la Colline embroidered suede flats for $35:

Or these awesome silver or black patent peep-toe heels (2 1/2 inches, not so bad) for $50:

But, will they last? you will ask. I say, at these prices, you can afford to have some fun with fashion. There’s more in their shoe department worth exploring, especially fun shoes for spring. If spring every comes, that is–for now, it’s been some kind of frost-ridden pluvial disaster in the Northeast.
