Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Dollhouse “Brik” Wedge Platform Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): If you’re looking for a cheap Zanotti alternative in red, check out these faux suede wedge pumps by Dollhouse. They’re $35 only & come in black patent as well black and red suede!

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.

Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

by Irina on August 30, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 30, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Kitten heels and pointed toes are usually NOT what turns me on about a shoe, but strange enough I think it totally works on these red suede kitten pumps by Isabel Marant. Maybe it’s the lavishly tied bow or the red suede or maybe that they look so French. But I do like these. A lot. Others, including a flood of Hollywood celebs, seem to favor these heels as well since the Poppy pumps have sold out rather quickly online. I especially like how Hilary Duff wore these with a grey tank and rolled up skinny jeans.

Nine West “Frontal” Bow Pumps

If you want a more pointier pump Nine West has a great Poppy look-a-like as well. The bow could’ve been prettier, but at $79 I won’t complain. Available red, black, purple and blue suede as well as black and beige leather.

Real vs. Steal – Lanvin Chain Link Ankle Strap Pumps

by Irina on December 1, 2010

Before I start worshipping these Lanvin heels, can we please have a moment of silence first? ___________ Thanks. Seriously, how amazing are they? I love the smooth and rounded design. It’s such an elegant shoe with the chain adding some pizzazz into the mix. But the price, OMG!, look at that insane thing of a price! Even on sale it is waaay beyond what I could afford to pay for a pair of heels. Je suis trés desolé, Lanvin!

Real vs. Steal – Prada Platform Peep-Toe Booties

by Velicia Hill on November 9, 2010

I have to confess, before I begin to compose a post, I take a good look at the item and try to envision myself either wearing it or imagining what I would pair this look with from my own closet. Pssst, wanna know what my very first thought was when I looked at these Prada booties? SEX! That’s right – sex. These are some of the sexiest heels I’ve come across in a very long time. I thought sex for three reasons:

  1. Simple yet stylish design
  2. Exciting and titillating times to come from wearing such a hot heel!
  3. X-Factor; that special little je ne sais quoi that’s indescribable & irresistible. And oh, Xpensive. $850! Good Lord!

Dolce Vita “Valencia” Suede Booties

But for those whose wallets aren’t “grown & sexy” enough and/or don’t give a damn how much sex appeal the Prada booties reek, here’s a bootie not only close to my heart, but almost my namesake as well! Dolce Vita‘s Valencia is for those who believe less is more – especially when it comes to pricing. Bring sexy back (home) for a whole lot less!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Esoteri Ankle Boots

by Celine on February 6, 2010

It was love at first sight with these Christian Louboutin “Esoteri” booties. Not sure they felt the same way about me though. There’s something I love about the Victorian meets school-boy look. What do you think? The price of course makes them a little (OK a lot) out of my reach.

Charlotte Russe Button Booties

Luckily I found these Louboutin knock-offs at Charlotte Russe and feel that they are almost every bit as good (and much lighter on the wallet, of course).
