UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 13, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

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 – $750, really? OK, that won’t be happening this winter or the next; which is why the steal below will be just fine.

Nine West “Krysten” Sandals

UPDATE (02/13/2012): Although the heel of this Nine West shoe is not as elegant as on the real deal, it still very much mimics the Jimmy Choo design, doesn’t it?

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?

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Embellished Open-Back Crepe Dress

by Juliana on February 6, 2012

The little black dress gets a twist for spring with the addition of delicate sleeves and a beautiful open-back detail. Think minimal accessories, upswept do, chandelier earrings and sky-high, black platform pumps. It seems Miu Miu has done it again, designing a dress that is elegant with a red carpet flair. But unless you are a celebrity, or you’ve got $4,105 to spend on a new dress, consider taking a look at the awesome look-a-like below.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Glitter and Suede Peep-toe Ankle Boots

by Juliana on January 18, 2012

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.

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.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Panier Espadrille Wedge Sandals

by Roseanne on January 6, 2012

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 – Prada Cutout T-Strap Platform Sandals

by Irina on October 19, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 19, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

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.
