Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10000 Peep-toe Platform Slingbacks

by Erica on August 12, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 12, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Looking for that perfect pink shoe? I cannot think of a better choice than this Giuseppe Zanotti E10000 Peep-toe Platform Slingback! You just have to be careful that your skin tone doesn’t completely blend in with the shoe itself! But, nonetheless, this heel looks amazing on starlets! I love how Kerry Washington sports this shoe with an elegant evening gown, and Alessandra Ambrosio, wearing the black version looks stunning as well. Who do you think wore the pumps best? If you want to have the same Zanotti look without the hefty price tag, just keep reading.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Marble Booties

by Irina on December 31, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 31, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

It’s always hit and miss for me when it comes to Jimmy Choo, but if I like one of their styles chances are I really like it a lot. The “Marble” mesh bootie is the puritan sister of “Quinze” which is basically the same shoe only adorned with embellishments. And while I do have a soft spot for mesh booties, I don’t see myself shelling out almost $900 for a pair anytime soon.

Nymulgogi Faux-Suede Trim Mesh Sandals

I have no clue how to spell the brand, but Nymulgogi has come up with amazingly close Marble look-a-likes which are available in either black or nude. The price of $72 ain’t too bad either.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Keenan Caged Sandals

by Irina on June 22, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 22, 2010. Scroll down to read the news.

The first time I saw Jimmy Choo‘s “Keenan” caged sandal I knew it would be lusted after. And boy was I right. Flocks of celebrities have been wearing this style and it didn’t take long to get me my first “Keenan” Real vs. Steal requests. But at that time there just weren’t any good alternatives available and I had to put the requests on hold. That was until today when I happened to stumble upon…

Jessica Simpson “Cesarini” Caged Sandals

… a pair of caged sandals by Jessica Simpson which look like a 100% copy of the Jimmy Choos except that these here have small studs on the straps. The heels come in either black or silver. I’m so happy I can finally offer a decent steal version for the Choos. Some girls will be very, very happy today.

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Lace Ankle Sandals

by Vahni on February 1, 2010

What happens when you cross a lace bootie with a sandal? You get these sassy Lace Ankle Sandals by Givenchy—a clever alternative to the bootie. As hard as it is to believe, some people have not fallen head over stilettos in love with the bootie-with-skirts trend, and you can’t really blame them. It’s a tough look to carry, especially on some body types. But as you can see from the photo below, several celebs have figured out just how versatile and flattering this hybrid can be.

Coloriffics “Cyndi” Lace-up Sandals

Like so many other designer shoes we’ve featured here, the Givenchy pair is both steeply priced and sold out or at least very hard to get. So we offer you the Coloriffics “Cyndi” Lace-up Sandal. Although the lace on this pair rests on black suede (which cuts its transparency), they still mimic the flattering openness of the Givenchy sandal, so the look is not as heavy as a a peep-toe bootie. And hey—bonus!—the heels are not foot-wrenchingly high. Available in black and ivory.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Jimmy Choo Seattle Sandals

by Irina on June 4, 2009

I’ve always loved Jimmy Choos. He makes constantly amazing shoes and his creations look great on almost every woman’s feet. These strappy snakeskin sandals would make great high heels for summer dresses.

Jimmy Choo is a regular on the red carpet as you can see below and the “Seattle” style has been worn multiple times by celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens who wore them to the Golden Globes, Isla Fisher who wore them with a Jasmine Di Milo sequin dress, Brittany Snow who went for a stark contrast with her black patent version or actress Elodie Bouchez who wore them in black satin with a lustworthy Balmain number.

Nine West Sheik Ankle Strap Sandal

This strappy sandal by Nine West is not an exact knockoff because it doesn’t have the same criss cross straps as the original Choos, but they are still a great and affordable alternative and happen to be currenty on sale. If you prefer a different color, they also come in gold, green, turquoise, red, beige/black, black patent, and white.
