Fall Shoe Essentials: 7 Designer Must-Haves and Affordable Dupes

Our tastes are ever-changing, but our bank accounts can't always keep up with the trends. From Miu Miu to Christian Louboutin, Proenza Schouler to Net-A-Porter, these aspirational brands become wellsprings of inspiration for us, even if they're beyond our reach.

While we may need to be budget-conscious, there's no reason we can't maintain our sense of style and stay grounded in fashion.
