Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bianca Platform Pumps

by Irina on February 5, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 5, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I am absolutely obsessed with these patent leather Christian Louboutin platform pumps. They are so gorgeous! I love everything about them – the shiny patent leather, the pitch black color, the mega high platform and the resulting height enhancement. PERFECTION! I sure am not the only one who fell for these lustworthy pumps as these heels sold like hot cakes when they hit the shelves a few months ago.

UPDATE (01/21/2010): These Bebe platform also don’t match the Louboutin color, but the shape is almost identical and I just love a good shiny pump.

ALDO “Destime” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (12/18/2009): I know these ALDO pumps don’t really match the shiny patent version of the Louboutins, but the shape is so similar that I had to feature them. Who doesn’t need a pair of red pumps anyway? J’Adore!

Joan & David “Flipp” Platform Pumps

If you are willing to spend some cash to get a similar style, these patent platform pumps by Joan & David are a great alternative if you can’t afford the real deal. The platform is not as high as on the original, but overall they still look very similar. If you prefer a different color, the pumps are also available in various other colors & finishes.

BCBGeneration “Tinas” Platform Pumps

If your shopping budget does not allow for a pricey shoe splurge, you might want to try these Louboutin inspired platform pumps by BCBGeneration instead. They cost $60 only which makes them 2/3 cheaper than the above mentioned knockoff and you’ll save more than $700 compared to the real Louboutin pumps. It’s not a perfect match and the platform is even more watered down than on the first pair, but overall they are still a great option if you are lusting for the Louboutin look 4 less.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Halle Berry’s Louboutin Leopard Espadrilles

by Erica on April 29, 2011

I think it can be said that sometimes you just need a little bit of leopard in your life; because leopard can make even the most drab of outfits look ultra fabulous! To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Halle Berry‘s overly blousy top, but she does have a way of pulling off just about anything! So you want this look 4 less and look just as fabulous if not more? Check out Charles David’s “Kini” leopard espadrille wedges! I actually like these wedges a little more because you get more height! But let us know what you think.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Paddington Padlock Satchel

by Celine on March 2, 2010

I don’t know about you guys but I have been enamored with the Chloé Paddington satchel ever since it emerged on the scene 5 years ago. I wasn’t the only one, though, this bag was an instantaneous hit. Along with some sister “It” bags (the Fendi Spy bag and the Marc Jacobs Stam, both of which we’ve covered here on InTheirCloset) the Paddington began to show up everywhere on the arms of fashionable celebrities. I think it was (and continues to be) so popular because of its perfect slouchy shape, roomy interior, and of course that to-die-for hardware. Sadly the Paddington has always been out of my price-range and, due to its popularity, there is really no hope of it ever going on sale.

Baghaus “Madeleine” Padlock Tote

Now granted I don’t have this bag in my hand right now, but just looking at the picture I can tell that Baghaus really knocked it out of the park with their “Madeleine” tote. How soft and slouchy does it look? The longer shoulder handle is missing but otherwise this bag looks pretty darn picture-perfect. Available in a multitude of colors (black, brown, beige, bronze, blue, white and pewter), this bag is guaranteed to get you tons of compliments. Personally, I’m loving the beige and brown.
