Real vs. Steal – Charlotte Olympia Priscilla in Stripes Suede Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on April 7, 2012

Lately, prints and colors have grown in popularity among fashion. With the current trend of mixing and matching prints, Charlotte Olympia presents these Priscilla Striped Suede Platforms. The combination of two similar hues exhibits colorblocking at its best. And while the lilac with magenta and sea green with aqua versions are more on the fun side and even candy-like, the black ones are irresistible and sophisticated. Although they are sold out, we have an affordable alternative below that can help you achieve a feminine and sophisticated look.

DV by Dolce Vita “Brilliant” Platform Pumps

I love these “Brilliant” pumps by DV by Dolce Vita. They seem so fun to wear, adding a nice touch of vibrancy to a monochromatic outfit and extra boldness when mixing with other prints. The colored versions would have to be my favorite since the climate is becoming warmer; therefore, I am trying to incorporate some color into my wardrobe. As an affordable alternative to the “Priscilla” Striped Platforms, not only do these pumps share a similar appearance they are also affordable with a price tag of $89!

Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

by Irina on February 14, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 14, 2012. 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.

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.

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 – 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!
