I usually don’t like publishing 2 consequent posts about the same brand, but in the case of Brian Atwood I think I can make an exception. His rise to fame started somewhen last year with the “Maniac” platform pump which was one of the first 5″ heels to conquer the red carpet & every female celebrity’s heart. Nude pumps were starting to make the round back then and Brian Atwood’s version was especially appealing with its hidden platform, the high arch and delicious taupe color. Despite their hefty price tag of almost $600, it didn’t take long until these were completely sold out.

Steve Madden “RUSSHH” Platform Pumps

Ever since I discovered Brian Atwood’s Maniac pumps I was hoping and waiting for a good copy to come along. Surprisingly, it took longer than expected, but we finally have a Maniac doppelgänger courtesy of Steve Madden. Madden’s version isn’t quite as high and the color is not a perfect match, but at that price I’m not complaining. Available in 9 different colors and finishes: black, blush, fuchsia, lavender, nude, teal and wine patent as well as black and plum suede.

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.

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.

Can I just say one more time how much I adore nautical inspired style? If it’s red, white and blue or has blue/navy stripes on it, I’m already loving it. That’s why I LOVED Eva Longoria‘s blue striped top and crisp white shorts which she accessorized with sky-high nude patent platforms and her tanned & toned killer legs. Of course, I instantly had to recreate this cute look on a more budget-friendly level. Check it out below & let us know what you think.

Looks like many celebrities are going gaga over this Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pump! I certainly can’t blame them as this pump goes great with skinny jeans and your party dress. I love Reese Witherspoon in these pumps! She looks ultra chic with her black coat and navy dress! Very European and very stylish, I must say. Who do you think wore the pump best? If you don’t want to be set back $750, we have a pretty nice steal for you!

Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pumps

In some ways I actually like this Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pump better than the Jimmy Choos! First off, the pump offers that elegant invisible platform and it also comes in a really pretty platinum version that has a hint of sparkle to it (as well as ivory satin). Plus at $169.95, I definitely would give this pump a try!

Hello boys & girls, you should probably know that YSL is AOK in my book! In the last couple of years their accessories (especially their shoes) have really become the “It” piece in any fashionable girl’s closet! Clearly, this is old news to those who have these beautiful slingback pumps like the six famous fashionistas below. But for those whose moniker is budget fashionista and wallets are facing some trial & tribulations, well, you and your pretty lil’ broke self (I say this with love) just keep on reading for a less expensive version of the Tribtoo slingbacks.
