Talk about statement shoes! These sparkly Miu Miu peep-toe booties are a definite conversation starter with their fun and flirty disco vibe. The lovely suede cross-straps make them look vintage and the shape of the glittered heel invites the wearer to feel whimsical yet confident with every step. Due to popular demand by celebrities and trend-setters everywhere, this pair sold out almost immediately upon debut. But not to worry, you can still be the Dancing Queen at the party by wearing the amazing steal version below.

To Be Announced “Alvarez” Glitter Booties

Getting excited by this great look-a-like by To Be Announced? All you need is a sleek black jumpsuit and you’ll be turning heads everywhere you go in these new standout kicks. They are still an investment at $199.95, but if you already have the basics and want a wild card to add to the mix, these are definitely it. Here’s a tip: If you love this style but are not sure about the color, choose a pair in midnight black and wear them with opaque black tights and a cute mini dress. Colors available are silver coral, midnight black and silver yellow.

To be honest, when I first saw these Christian Louboutin Panier Espadrille Wedge Sandals I wasn’t overly thrilled. The design truly didn’t appeal to me as much as other lavish Louboutins usually do. But, looking at them actually being worn I had a complete change of mind. I really like the femininity that they add to an outfit not to mention that they can be pretty much worn with anything. I love Cameron Diaz’s outfit; she really displays the beauty of these wedges and most definitely gives them enormous amount of justice, but unfortunately it’s not the same story with the price tag. Check out the steal below for under $30.

Wild Diva Jacoba-01 Espadrille Wedges

In comparison with the Louboutin price tag, these Wild Diva Jacoba-01 Espadrille Wedges are not even a quarter of their cost. The design is quite comparable and almost practically identical with the exception of a few minor, unobvious differences. At $26.90, these wedges are a very praiseworthy look-a-like.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vamp Platform Sandals

by Velicia Hill on November 7, 2011

What is it about pink platforms in the wintertime that makes me smile? Aahhh, the perfect cure for the winter blues (well… besides a good hot toddy)! And Jimmy Choo‘s “Vamp” is making me feel all warm and tingly. But what’s scaring me is the shocking price tag – $649, really? OK, that won’t be happening this winter or the next; which is why the steal below will be just fine.

Dune “Gwnyeth D” Strappy Sandals

It’s cold outside, but I’m dreaming of sand dunes. Well, actually I’m daydreaming about “Gwnyeth D” by Dune. So cute, so pink & so affordable! But if you aren’t trying to emulate Barbie by wearing pink heels, then you’re in luck. You can get this heel in black, plum and teal satin as well as black/taupe glitter. Hot toddy anyone?

Well, the season for open footwear such as these turquoise suede Prada sandals is pretty much over, but I couldn’t help but show these to you because I really love these little darlings. Love the color, the delicate suede, the cut-outs, the rounded heel. They’re just absolutely lovely and still rockable if you don’t mind wearing tights with open sandals.

Ahhh, this one’s an oldie but goodie. Christian Louboutin‘s Very Privé studded pumps were all the rage among celebs back when I started this blog (can you believe it’s been almost 3 years already?). I really wanted to do a Real vs. Steal-feature on this shoe style but just couldn’t find a suitable alternative at that time. Fast-forward to 2011 and a decent yet budget-friendly Loubie look-a-like has finally popped up…

Twisted Kam-12 Studded Peep-toe Pumps

… No red sole, the platform is significantly lower and the studs aren’t quite as spikey, but for a $40 shoe this pump by Twisted comes pretty close to the Louboutin original. What do you think? Hit or miss?
