Real vs. Steal – Matthew Williamson Spring 2009 Sandals

by Irina on March 31, 2009

Matthew Williamson‘s Spring 2009 collection was a welcome burst of color and it was one of my favorite shows of the season. Not only the clothes were absolutely adorable and lustworthy, but also the shoes which came in either pink, yellow, black or white.

Bebe “Bri” Satin & Patent Sandals

I don’t know what it is with Bebe. I wonder if they do anything else than copying other people’s work? Here’s another knockoff candidate. The “Bri” satin sandal comes in black and retails for $129.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Multi-Buckle Sandals

by Irina on March 25, 2009

I was lusting after these badass buckled Louboutins ever since I saw them on Heidi’s feet a few months ago. But spending 1.5k on a pair of shoes is nothing but a dream to me yet, so I raided the internet to find some budget-friendly alternatives.

Heidi Klum was the first to introduce the buckled Louboutins on the red carpet when she wore them with a cute strapless vintage dress to this year’s Golden Globes. Jennifer Lopez wore the same heels with an LWD, sleek hair and a matching white clutch.
