Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

Irina — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:00:44 +0000

Kitten heels and pointed toes are usually NOT what turns me on about a shoe, but strange enough I think it totally works on these red suede kitten pumps by Isabel Marant. Maybe it’s the lavishly tied bow or the red suede or maybe that they look so French. But I do like these. A lot. Others, including a flood of Hollywood celebs, seem to favor these heels as well since the Poppy pumps have sold out rather quickly online. I especially like how Hilary Duff wore these with a grey tank and rolled up skinny jeans.

Nine West “Frontal” Bow Pumps

If you want a more pointier pump Nine West has a great Poppy look-a-like as well. The bow could’ve been prettier, but at $79 I won’t complain. Available red, black, purple and blue suede as well as black and beige leather.

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Malika Leather & Velvet Strappy Platform Sandals

Irina — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:00:01 +0000

Gucci‘s S/S 2011 collection was some sort of style epiphany for me. I’d even go as far to say it was one of the best S/S collections I’ve ever seen. I loved everything from this collection: the colors, the fabrics, the silhouettes, the accessories and of course, the shoes! Gucci’s “Malika” strappy sandals sure do look luxe. The gold piping, the smooth velvet straps, the pin-thin gold stiletto heel. Perfection! Except for the not-so-nice price of $995.

ALDO “Boulger” T-Strap Sandals

If you love the look of Gucci, but don’t have the funds to support your designer obsession, you might want to opt for these more wallet-friendly ALDO heels instead. They’re not a dupe and definitely have a few differences, but the overall look still screams Gucci to me. Available in orange, camel & gold.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Banana Platform Pumps

Irina — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 13:00:50 +0000

Finally! I officially have found the perfect nude pump! Are you surprised it is by the man of our shoe dreams, Monsieur Christian Louboutin? I am not. The strange thing is that I’ve been aware of the Banana pumps for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until today before I realized they are the perfect shape. And don’t get me started on the delicious patent nude color. You know you’ve found your perfect shoe when there isn’t one single thing you’d want to change about them… Wait! Oops, sorry, actually there are TWO things I’d change about these darlings here: a) the availability (they’re sold out) and b) the price ($800 isn’t exactly my kind of shoe shopping budget).

ALDO “Withey” Peep-toe Pumps

If Louboutins are out of your price range as well, opt for these equally amazing ALDO pumps instead. You might recognize these from our recent Nude Shoes Under $100 post. The only difference is the hidden platform; otheriwse it’s all there: the delicious nude patent leather, the perfectly shaped arch, the sky-high stiletto heel… and they’re only $80, not $800. Also available in black patent.

Liliana “Cord” Platform Pumps

In case you’re not feeling like spending $80 on shoes right now, but still crave a new pair of heels, consider these gorgeous nude pumps by Liliana. They look a lot like the ALDO version, just a tad darker, and again have a hidden platform. I absolutely love these – especially the killer price of $32.95! New shoes for under $30, how great is that? Even less if you use the coupon code above. You better be quick to order because these will go fast!

Real vs. Steal – Lanvin Chain Link Ankle Strap Pumps

Irina — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 15:00:52 +0000

Before I start worshipping these Lanvin heels, can we please have a moment of silence first? ___________ Thanks. Seriously, how amazing are they? I love the smooth and rounded design. It’s such an elegant shoe with the chain adding some pizzazz into the mix. But the price, OMG!, look at that insane thing of a price! Even on sale it is waaay beyond what I could afford to pay for a pair of heels. Je suis trés desolé, Lanvin!

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Anne Hathaway in Antonio Berardi & Sergio Rossi

Irina — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 17:00:37 +0000

I haven’t seen Anne Hathaway on the red carpet for a while, but when she attended the Love & Other Drugs premiere at the AFI Fest 2010 Anne made quite the comeback in a white lace-panelled Antonio Berardi pencil dress which she paired with nude patent Sergio Rossi slingback pumps. What I also loved was her flawless hair & make-up. Big kudos to her stylist(s)! Want to don the same outfit on a budget? See our wallet-friendly take on Anne’s knockout look below.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Very Galaxy Platform Pumps

Vahni — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:00:34 +0000

Christian Louboutin is known for having a sense of humor, so it’s no surprise that while his shoes are immaculately constructed, many are decidedly irreverent. And his Very Galaxy Platform Pumps are certainly no exception with their jewel-toned, metallic shine and graphic top-stitching. Very inter-galactic, indeed! I imagine the Very Galaxy is probably exactly what Judy Jetson would have worn if Louboutin had set up shop in a galaxy near her.

Miss Me Jocelyn-22 Stitched Platform Pumps

Apparently the Very Galaxy is a huge fave of Earth-dwellers, because they’ve sold out in spite of their whopping price tag. But that’s OK…if you’re looking to get your galactic shine on too, the Miss Me Jocelyn-22 Stitched Platform Pumps are an outrageously good sub,with their lovely peep-toes, metallic sheen, and funky topstitching. They come in an array of colors, as well as a black version that is not included below.

Real vs. Steal – Casadei 3114 Satin Platform Pumps

Celine — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:00:07 +0000

Are you guys familiar with the Italian shoe designer, “Casadei“? I wasn’t either until recently, when I came across a stunning pair of their platform pumps. They were very old Hollywood glamour meets modern day woman and I was immediately a fan. Even though many of their heels measure at least 5 inches, I’ve heard only wonderful things about their level of comfort. I am particularly enamoured with Casadei’s “3114″ Satin Platform Pumps. There’s not a whole lot going on with this shoe, besides classic construction, but I think you’ll agree that these would be a perfect bridal pump, among other things. Unfortunately, not sure if you caught a glance at their retail price, but that is in fact a 9 before the 50. Yes, they’re currently on sale, but that’s still a whole lotta dough.

RSVP “Maison” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

Even though I often wax poetic on the beauty of a 5 inch heel, let’s be honest: if you have to wear the shoes ALL night, a 4 incher is probably a better choice. That’s why I love these RSVP “Maison” pumps we found. They are almost identical to the Casadei originals, but the heel looks way more manageable, as does the price. These are available in a whopping 6 colors, which means there’s a shoe for every occasion, and every girl.

ALDO “Orpin” Peep-toe Pumps

ALDO‘s “Orpin” pump is dressed in suede and not satin but otherwise all the classic details are there to make this a knockout shoe (as well as a darn good knockoff). Taupe shoes are huge for Spring but I’m especially in love with the turquoise color – they would look spectacular with any LBD. Available in taupe, coral or turquoise suede.

Real vs. Steal – Stella McCartney Felt Military Coat

Irina — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:00:24 +0000

So I absolutely adore this double-breasted wool coat by Stella McCartney. It is my ideal coat! The tailoring is exquisite as is the wool felt the coat is made out of. But as usual style and quality come at a price; in this case the price is as high as $2.495. Not exactly my kind of shopping budget. But since having a good coat is essential in the winter I tried to find an affordable yet stylish alternative.

While this wool coat by ASOS doesn’t have the same fine texture as the Stella McCartney coat I still love how similar it is to the original. The coat comes in 3 colors: camel (pictured), black and pink.
