OMG! I have waited SO long for a YSL Trib Two Bootie knockoff to come along and now it’s finally here! Major knockoff find! I literally squealed with excitement when I saw the knockoffs.
Below you see the original YSL Trib Two booties in brown croc leather. I adored these booties just as much as their sister shoe – the YSL Trib Two pumps. Yes, they look a slightly stripperish, but the exquisite YSL craftsmanship prevents them from looking cheap.
As always the price tag was what kept me away from taking the plunge. So I had to let them pass, but I never forgot how much I loved these booties.

Heidi Montag Loves YSL
As much as I think Heidi Montag is a desperate attention whore, I give credit where credit is due. Heidi has a great taste in shoes and she totally owned these YSL Trib Two booties when she strut the red carpet wearing a casual tank and shorts ensemble.
Bebe Tyra Croco Ankle Booties
Bebe is unbelievably exact and spot on when doing YSL knockoffs. They first had the amazing YSL Trib Two pump knockoffs which sold out in like a day and now they come up with these super hot booties. I’m in love! They look almost identical compared to the real YSL booties, don’t you agree? Not quite a steal at $189, but probably the best YSL Trib Two bootie knockoffs you’ll ever come across.

Have you found your favorite summer shoes yet? Peep-toe slingbacks are perfect summer heels as they look summery by default and keep your feet cool in the hot summer sun. Christian Louboutin‘s “So Private” slingback platform pumps are ideal summer shoe candidates if you can ignore the price for a moment.

These beautiful platform slingbacks by GUESS will give you the same Louboutin look without the steep price tag. They retail for $89.95 exclusively at NORDSTROM and come in either black patent as pictured below, red and sand patent as well as a cute printed multi-color version. LOVE!

The Highest Heel “Precious-101″ Platform Sandal
I stumbled upon these Christian Louboutin look-a-likes a few days ago and thought they would be a great alternative to the real Louboutins. The upper finish is grosgrain canvas instead of black patent leather, but the cork heel and the shape of the platform pump look almost identical. The slingbacks come in 3 different colors: black as shown below, bubblegum-pink and white. They’re also on sale right now, so place your order before they run out of your size.

Last year these gladiator booties from Givenchy were all the rage on the red carpet. They took Hollywood by storm and sold out shortly thereafter despite the hefty price tag of $995.

Celebrities Love Givenchy
As you can see many celebrities like Cassie, Charlize Theron, Heidi Montag and Lauren London all opted for Givenchy’s open toe booties.
Boutique 9 Joleen Gladiator Sandals
I have seen countless knockoffs of these Givenchy gladiator booties, but Boutique 9′s Joleen sandals are probably the best of the bunch. They are not 100% the same, but you can clearly see the inspiration Boutique 9 has taken from the Givenchys.
Not being the cheapest option, I’d still recommend these if you want Givenchy 4 less because they look well manufactured. Available colors are black, dove grey and tan.

Steven By Steve Madden Ginn Strappy Pump
If you prefer a knockoff that’s more similar to the original Givenchys, then you’ll probably like these knockoffs from Steve by Steve Madden better.
