Celebrity Shoes: Carrie Underwood wears silver booties

The country crooner and American Idol, Carrie Underwood donned a beaded mini dress at Spotify's Hot Country Live Series in N.Y.C. where she performed. She completed her look with perfectly long wavy hair, multi-strand necklace and metallic silver boots. Her look is the perfect mixture of modern country pop star.

If you like her sparkly booties, take a look at some of our picks that are easy on the pocket.

Guess 'Lumana' peep toe with charms

What I like about fashion is that designers are really pushing the limits in terms of design and material.  I have seen a lot of unusual elements that are incorporated to the shoe-chains, spikes, feathers and a lot more.  Guess is joining the bandwagon with this peep toe with charms and studs.  You can buy this at Endless for $109.95.

Mirror Image: Lanvin vs. Guess by Marciano 'Cora' chain pump

The first time (probably) I featured chains as one of the key components of a shoe was when I showed Lanvin's belted chain pump and then the brand's other chained shoes.  Following the bandwagon is Guess by Marciano with their version of the chained pump--Cora.  You can buy this at their website for a very wallet friendly price of $158.  You can also buy this in red.  If you want a Lanvin look for more than half its price, Guess is your best option.

Mirror Image: Rock & Republic 'Alayna' vs. Guess 'Seeri' chain pumps

Another Mirror Image entry courtesy of Rock & Republic and Guess.  I featured Rock & Republic 'Alayna' chain pump last April as my option for the near-perfect pump by Lanvin--Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz wore two different chain pumps in separate events, by the way.  Guess's version is more, shall I say, wearable because of the thicker heels and platform front (love the color, too).  Although both shoes can be worn in three different ways, Guess's 'Seeri' I think should win this round because of affordability, it is only $119.95 at Zappos.
