Caged Heels

Forever 21 has just put up a pair of faux-leather cage heels, entitled the "Alessia Cage Pump", on their website. These sexy shoes are unquestionably inspired by the It-Shoes right now, the Yves Saint Laurent Cage boots and heels, and I think they are a great alternative to the nearly $1000 YSL Cage platforms.

At only $26.80, the Forever 21 version does not have the fine black patent leather of the originals, nor the perfect square pattern, but, in my opinion, have a sexier silhouette. For those of us who can't get the spectacular Yves Saint Laurent heels but still want to incorporate the trend into our wardrobes, these heels are a great, reasonably-priced substitute.
