If you had to pick one pair of shoes to give you that extra boost of confidence on any given day, these stunners by Christian Louboutin would be my choice. You can’t wear them and NOT have everyone looking at you. So, what will you wear with them? Will it include a pair of scene-stealing jeans or perhaps a figure-accentuating skirt? Either way, get ready to turn some heads. Wait, are you thinking: “How will I ever afford these?” It’s OK, we’ve found hope. Take a look below!

I must admit the first time I saw the “Palais” pumps by Yves Saint Laurent I didn’t like them very much. While I was madly in love with the vibrant blue suede, what I didn’t like was the carved heel and the exaggerated round toe. But as I previously said, sometimes you have to see a shoe on a person to truly recognize its beauty. And this was the case when I spotted the lovely Carey Mulligan wearing these iconic YSL pumps. From this moment on I was a reformed “Palais” lover.

All hail the master of the stiletto, Monsieur Christian Louboutin. Whenever I start wondering which Louboutin will rock my world next I discover a style like the “Clou Noeud” (try spelling that!), a perfect symbiosis of a feminine blush bow-adorned slingback pump and rocker, kickass conical studs and a platform a stripper heel would be proud of. Needless to say we’ve gotten quite a few reader requests for these beauties which are long sold out how despite the shocking price tag of $1.195.

Frederick’s of Hollywood Peep-Toe Leather Artillery Pumps

UPDATE (04/06/2011): Since the N.Y.L.A. version is currently sold out, I thought you might be interested in this CL look-a-like by Frederick’s of Hollywood. They’re only available in black though and are probably just a non-/re-branded version of the N.Y.L.A. heels.

N.Y.L.A. “Genevieve” Slingback Platform Pumps

If you follow me on Twitter you might have read my tweet where I said that I just might have found THE knockoff of 2010. Well, here it is: the “Genevieve” by N.Y.L.A.. The color and heel vary slightly, but otherwise they’re practically twins. Except you’ll only have to pay a fair $105 for the N.Y.L.A. platforms to get mad Louboutin style on a budget. Now wouldn’t these be the perfect christmas gift to yourself or any shoe-loving fashionista on your gift list? They come in either nude, red or black leather.

It’s been a while since I last really saw a great caged heel, but give it to Christian Louboutin to make you fall in love with shoes again. Not that I’ve ever been out of love. Because, seriously, SHOES! Which girl could not go all crazy on them? You know what else is driving me crazy? The astronomical price of these heels – $1.495. Bummer!

N.Y.L.A. “Sianne” Platform Sandals

N.Y.L.A. sure is riding the Louboutin wave back right now, huh? First they made this amazing “Clou Noeud” knockoff and now they have this almost identical look-a-like of the Larissa Plato. Not available in suede and not quite as polished as the original, but still a great budget-friendly alternative. Available in black and nude leather as well as gold glitter.

I confess: I. Love. Gucci. Especially the magnificent spring 2010 collection, with its ikat-meets-robot dresses and accessories. Who else could mix tribal, bondage, and mod—and do it so successfully? Apparently Heidi Klum is a fan as well. Let’s not all hate her cause she’s beautiful (even after popping out her own tribe of kids) and in Gucci, OK?
