Cynthia Vincent for Target

I love the idea of designers providing affordable fashion in limited quantities by partnering with big box retailers.  Unfortunately, I have been a little disappointed by the fit and quality of many of the clothing collaborations of late, but I guess that is why the clothes are retailing for a price much lower than what one would traditionally pay for that designer.  However, I have had great luck with the "designer" shoe and handbag collections offered at Target, Payless and H&M. 

The Cynthia Vincent for Target collection made its debut on April 18th and they have been selling out at stores across the country.  I am dying to get my hands on a pair of these Cynthia Vincent for Target wedge sandals.

Gladiator Wedge in Yellow - $29.99 (they only show black online but I know the yellow exists and I will hunt them down because I don't think my life would be complete without them)

The resemblance is pretty good for a tenth of the price.  Mason Wedge Sandal - $350

Strappy Ring Heeled Sandals - $29.99

Studded Thong Sandal - $24.99
