You may know Aldo as a mall staple and slightly cheaper version of Nine West. While we knew the shoe store made accessories like belts and jewelry, we didn’t really consider that they could actually be cute. Turns out we’ve either been wrong all along or Aldo has hired a new accessories designer with a very high-fashion outlook. To be fair, the sizable collection has a lot of jewelry that mimics played-out trends you’ve seen everywhere. In the mix, however, are some real gems like this Putton necklace (right) with an art deco vibe and this Blouin ring (left), which takes inspiration from Dior‘s covetable flower cluster rings. Also notable: thin black cuffs with gold fastenings that remind us of CC Skye, knotted necklaces made of thick metal strands, and a gold link necklace interwoven with black ribbon and Gucci-esque d-ring details.
Accessible, cheap, and will leave others wondering what fancy designer you’re wearing. [Aldo]

Ok…first off, how in the hell is ALDO in any shape or form related to Nine West?? And cheaper?? Don’t think so! Depends on whether or not you get their shoes on sale. Their shoes run from $50 to $100 to $150. Nine West accessories aren’t nearly as trendy/fashionable or downright cute as ALDO. Don’t get me started on their purses and accessories. Their accessories are definitely affordable and keeps up with the trends. Again I don’t know where you are getting your information from but I shop there all the time.

I think you should read then again after the sugar rush you are apparently on wears off >.<

I disagreed with those two quotes. I read the article very carefully and my previous comment still stands…

I agree with ooi0katzy0ioo..
ALDO is a pretty legit place, and their shoes and handbags are nice. They always have little details that do make them standout.
I can understand why a one would think it was a cheap store, but its hardly a fashion secret.

i think the author was getting at the fact that most mall stores are not exactly known for being “on the edge” as they are marketed to a mass public in a central location with many other stores of similar price and stature.
