Shoe of the Moment: Louis Vuitton Spring 2012

If you're looking to spice up your old stiletto routine for spring, I suggest taking notes from Louis Vuitton. Shiny gleaming metal cap toe shoes are so "of-the-moment". Many celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow & Kristen Stewart were spotted wearing them. But as stylish as they are, Louis Vuitton's Merry-go-round pumps & mules aren't for everyone--especially those on a budget. Prices start from a whopping $1,000 and go up to $9,950 (eek!). That's why I spent the last few days doing some research to see if I could find similar styles for less. Have a look after the break!

P.S. Christian Louboutin pumps & YSL ankle straps aren't exactly affordable, but I had to include them because they're just so hot! Also, if cap toe shoes aren't your thing, find more cute spring shoes from my previous article.

Christian Louboutin, $675. Zara, $129. YSL, $1.095. Kors Michael Kors, $195. Topshop, $100. Stuart Weitzman, $375.
