Jennifer Aniston

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston‘s style. She delicately walks the edges of trends while always maintaining a classic style that I’m pretty sure we’ll never look back on, thinking “God, WHAT was she wearing?” Last summer Jen started rocking a pair of Stuart Weitzman espadrilles that had me drooling. Clearly I wasn’t the only fan though; the Alex Espadrille Wedges flew off the shelves and were forever more impossible to find. They’re back now and available on several e-retailer sites and I would probably kill to own a pair. Seriously, I recommend you not being around me right now. Sadly these are just out of my price range.

Sacred Heart “Arven” Espadrilles

UPDATE (05/22/2011): The “Alex” knockoff wave just won’t stop! I keep finding new Alex look-a-likes day in, day out. But these here by Sacred Heart are actually really, really amazing. They are soooo spot-on and, OMG!, look at the price. $39.99 – this deserves an award or something (still can’t loose the feeling these are just rebranded, look at N.Y.L.A.’s Colby, Black Rooster’s Colb & Bakers’ “Midtown”, they all look completely identical).

Available in taupe (shown), ivory or black.

Kelsi Dagger “Ivy” Espadrilles

We’ve featured Kelsi Dagger shoes quite a few times here on InTheirCloset and this is why. They consistently come out with great “inspired by” shoes without wandering too far into “exact copy” territory. In this case I have to say that I wish they’d stayed true to the original. The lower wedge is great, as is the color, but a braided/woven strap would have made these perfection. Ah, well, still a great shoe! Also available in pewter, black and white.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Lance Strappy Sandals

by Velicia Hill on November 2, 2010

Why is it that so many people imagine themselves to be Cleopatra reincarnated? I’m thinking it’s because of the stylish clothes, hip make-up and the unmatched beauty and brains, of course. So for all you modern day, wanna be Roman-Egyptian empresses, these lovely gold sandals by Jimmy Choo clearly capture the mood of 50 B.C. perfectly! And for $695, they’ll give your wallet something to “chew” on. Well… more like taking a huge bite out of your wallet – ouch!

Butter “Consuelo” Sandals

But for half the price, this creamy & smooth imposter is like Butter! The heel height is lower and yet, so is the price tag. Available in gold or silver.

I know a girl whose wardrobe I would describe as basic in contrast to my own, which is trendy, very color-infused and contains never ending accessories. Hers is filled with things like t-shirts, dress pants and man tailored shirts. However, she suffers from a disease. A fashion disease. Something I like to call Louboutin-itis. No matter what the pair looks like, how much she realizes it will never go with anything she owns or what the price tag is – she falls under the spell of the red sole and hands over her credit card. Now while I don’t suggest this behavior for most, can I really blame her? It’s like being an art junkie. Surpisingly, the Spartenvol Strass 100 are a style she doesn’t have in her closet, but after seeing all the celebrity photos here, it may send her into a frenzy. Everyone needs a feminine dress shoe that has a little edge. Unfortunately for her, they’re all sold out.

Lauren Jones “Amanda” T-Strap Sandals

Lucky for girls like us, these Lauren Jones sandals are available and they are a fantastic alternative. The 3-tier strap gets 3 thumbs up (2 from me and one from her while she wipes her tears for the lost Louboutins) and the price is perfect. Available in black, blue, ivory and silver satin.

Alexander McQueen is one of my favorite designers of all time and I frequently find myself falling in love with almost everything he designs. And these fabulous Alexander McQueen striped leather pumps at NET-A-PORTER were absolutely no exception. The peep-toe pumps originally retailed for $805, then went on sale for still-not-very-affordable $603.75 and are now completely sold out.

Thandie Newton loves British designers and showed her love for McQueen by wearing the striped pumps to the London premiere of Run, Fat Boy, Run back in 2007. Jennifer Aniston wore the same pumps together with a beautiful black dress to the Marley & Me press conference in December 2008.

Jessica Simpson “Delsi” Pumps

Shell out $73.60 and these McQueen look-a-likes by Jessica Simpson are yours. The upper material is suede and the heel of the pump is thicker, but it’s still a great alternative to the real deal.
