Trend Files #034 | Elizabeth & James Footwear – Shop It or Stop It?

When I first heard found out about Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s shoe line in collaboration with Steven Madden, I initially thought that “Hey, now the ladies will have some affordable shoes to wear” – then the reality set in……we are talking about the Olsen twins here! The collection as a whole features interestingly semi-stylish footwear that dons a serious higher price point than the normal Steve Madden labeled shoe which is usually priced around $69.99 up to $250. According to previous reports the Elizabeth & James footwear collection was to be priced around $195 – $500…..(blank stare). So far, I’ve seen price points of $270 – $325 for a collection of shoes that we’ve probably all seen before in some way, shape or form. I don’t really know what to feel about the collection thus far…but I am sure that there will be more to see this coming fall. My question is….would you ladies shop it or straight stop it on the collection? Need more convincing? Check out more after the jump.

A Little Note From Tee: The Elizabeth & James collection is currently available via Shopbop.com & available for Pre-Order via Nordstrom.com
