Casadei for Less in New Look
These New Look Vickster black metal heel pumps from Asos instantly caught my eye for their similarity to the iconic Casadei blade pump. Photo courtesy of Asos.
The Casadei blade pump is a sexy and dangerous take on the classic pointed-toe black pump. A wardrobe staple for many fashionistas and celebrities, the exquisite Italian shoe is known for its iconic razor blade heel and is offered in a variety of materials (leather, suede, patent, satin) and colors. A pair of these stunners ranges in price anywhere from $640 to $1,400. If you desire these heels as much as I to put a little danger in your 2015 wardrobe but can't afford the steep price, fear not. Say "hello" to the Vickster pump by New Look.

At only $47.36, the New Look Vickster is the perfect affordable alternative to satiate that desire for the Casadei blade pump. Granted, a difference in price as great as the Vickster's under $50 price point and Casadei's upwards of $640 price point leaves vast differences in quality, which is clear between the photos of each. But with a satin-like upper, pointed toe and blade-like heel, the Vickster pump has all the attributes that make the Casadei original so beloved, making it an ideal stitch for less.
