Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

UPDATE (11/10/2010): Excuse me? Please meet the love of your life! OMG, ASOS has done it! The perfect Burberry Prorsum aviator jacket knockoff. Isn’t it beautiful?

Well now, even that is no obstacle. Behold the Lipsy Faux Sheepskin Aviator Jacket, ladies. This brown faux shearling is cut beautifully, and is the perfect topper for a skinny ruched mini, or even jeans and a tank. And at a mere £85, you’ll be looking like Burberry Barbie in no time.

Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Pumps

by Vahni on November 8, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 08, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Have y’all noticed that since YSL was resurrected by the brilliant Tom Ford about a decade ago, it has been on a roll ever since? While it’s true that Tom Ford reintroduced the brand before he sadly disappeared from women’s fashion, I must admit that Stefano Pilati has proved himself a worthy replacement. One need only look at the Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Pumps (and other YSL Tribs) to know it is indeed true.

Pour La Victoire “Portia” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (11/08/2011): And here’s an almost 1:1 identical twin version of the YSL Tribute pump coming from Pour La Victoire. Too bad this one’s a little pricey at $285! Available in black, charcoal and tan patent as well as plum, tan and black suede and teal and burgundy snakeskin.

Steve Madden “SURPASS” Platform Pumps

YSL is definitely the stuff my fashion fantasies are made of. But ouchie… the price tag for any YSL shoes brings me back to reality pretty darn quick. But what’s that I see? A near-perfect replica?! Yes! The “SURPASS” Platform Pumps by Steve Madden are gleaming, virtual twins of the YSL Tribute, are they not? Available for pre-order. Now back to that fantasy…

Real vs. Steal – Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots

by Vahni on September 18, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 18, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Hey… Jane Aldridge stole my Mongolian lamb vest! To get back at her, I might have to steal her Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots. Especially since they retailed for $740 and sold clean out. Of course, I’m kidding people. About the vest, at least. The boots did sell out, and there’s no reason to wonder why. Look how hot they are on Jane! Say what you will about this uber-famous bloggerista—but she’s got style in spades.

Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots

Thank goodness, there’s no need for any illegal activity should any of us want to channel Jane’s amazing looks above. The all-leather Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots have the same linear insets, gleaming buckles, and they go on forever on the leg—but for about half the price of the Barneys pair. Available in black or taupe leather.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pumps

This fantastic Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pump may look a little familiar to you…that’s because we featured the red version here on ITC back in July 2009. But nude heels are so hot right now that we felt compelled to revisit this pair. They’re a totally fresh take on nude—sculptural and feminine at the same time.

Paris Hilton “Senorita” Bow Pumps

So now that you’ve seen the Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pumps and have fallen in love, here’s your real-world option: the “Senorita” Bow Pump by Paris Hilton. I know, I know, Paris Hilton. But this is a nude pump unlike any of the ones we’ve featured lately, and it really is hauntingly similar to the higher-priced version. Plus, it’s available in 11 (!) different colors and finishes.

The Prada Studded Medium Tote is the grown-up way to rock this trend and not look like a rocker wanna-be. Gold and sliver studs beautifully outline this supple black leather tote, which is roomy enough to serve as a chic work carryall. Available in black, forest or brown.
