Ever wonder what Mischa Barton is up to lately? You know, the girl from the hit show “OC”? Well, it looks like this doe-eyed chick has a new gig – as a brand ambassador for Philipp Plein.
Here are pictures of the campaign:

What do you think? Nice, yeah? But Mischa is actually not the topic of my article today. She’s just the icing on the cake, so to speak. It’s the shoes she wore for the campaign that got me interested.
Exquisite and superb are just a few words to describe these shoes when I saw them. Giuseppe Zanotti, I think you have a serious competitor here. Just check out these boots and sandals. The word “bling” can’t even begin to cover it.

Bedecked to the bone with Swarovski crystals and spikes, you could say these shoes are pretty hard to miss and hard to forget. They may be bordering on ostentatious, but I’m definitely loving them!
Of course, these fine creations come at a price. A pair will cost you between 1,500 and 2,000 EUR. That’s about $2000 to $2600, and that does not include import duties and taxes yet. Once it hits American soil, I’m very sure the prices will go up.
Ok, I was wrong. Maybe Giuseppe Zanotti need not worry because these Philipp Plein shoes are definitely for a different market tier.
If you have the “moola” to buy a pair, then good for you. But if you can’t afford it, then don’t force it. Why go hungry for a month so that you could own a pair when there are a lot of other great alternatives?
For starters, you can get these sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti that you can buy on sale for $881 at Zappos. They’re much cheaper than the Pleins.

I know $800++ is still a little too much for some, so here are more cost-friendly substitutes:
Chinese Laundry ‘Missing You’, $109; Naughty Monkey ‘Scene Stealer,’ $80; Steve Madden ‘Biancoo’
Sam Edelman ‘Zoyla’ Boots, $226; Dolce Vita ‘Flash’ Boots, on sale for $120
