Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bibi Suede Platform Pumps

by Irina on October 15, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 15, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Christian Louboutin‘s “Bibi” pump is one of my favorite Loubies from the classic shoe styles department. I looooove the high arch and also that it has this straight column-like chunky heel; I just dig that on shoes, not sure why, but I love this (plus, it makes a high heel that much more stable/comfortable because the weight doesn’t pressure on a pinpoint-sized stiletto heel). That makes yet another addition to my never ending list of shoe obsessions.

Rough Justice “Kara” Platform Pumps

Rough Justice is a pretty new footwear brand and for their first collection they have decided to take some inspiration from the master of the red soled heels because these “Kara” platforms are obvious “Bibi” wannabes. Tood bad they’ve messed up the arch, otherwise it would’ve been a super great Louboutin alternative (though a pretty steep one at $200+). The pumps are available in black, turquoise, fuchsia, rust & stone suede.

Real vs. Steal – Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte Metal Pumps

by Irina on March 16, 2011

These spiked metal pumps which have been designed by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte’s Fall 2010 collection imo belong more in a museum rather than on someone’s feet because I think they’re meant to be concept shoes. To prove my point, look at the celebs strutting their stuff in those heels below. None of them really pulls them off, something always looks off when they’re worn with “normal” clothing. That’s why I think these shoes belong on the runway or on a display.

Boutique 9 “Helene” Cut-Out Pumps

Boutique 9 stripped off a lot of the details that makes the Rodarte heels so unique, but even the tamed version strongly reminds me of the designer counterpart. Of course it’s a lot more wearable which can be either a good and or a bad thing. Available in black or taupe.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals

by Vahni on March 11, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

What’s the equivalent of fishnets for the feet? Miu Miu‘s Forma Cutout Sandals. Diagonal weave? Check. Skin peeking through? Check. A little coverage and a little tease? Check and check. Seriously, could they be sexier? I think not. And not many sandals can work with date-night dresses and formal gowns.

In Katy Perry’s Closet – ASOS Sequin Sunset Vest Dress

by Celine on June 12, 2010

I’m not quite sure what to think of Katy Perry. She’s beautiful – almost doll like, strange (engaged to Russell Brand!) and her style is a bit schizophrenic. I love her retro/pin-up looks but some of her 80s outfits I could do without. I am equally as confused about the ASOS Sequin Sunset Vest Dress that Ms. Perry wore to the CW Network’s 2010 Upfront Presentation in New York last month. I actually kind of love the bright colors and am always partial to sequins but… well, it’s just not something I would ever actually wear. But that’s what makes Katy and I different. She loves bright, over-the-top scene stealers and I… don’t. Also, she is a celebrity and I am not. Regardless, she has a kick ass body and would undoubtedly look hot wearing a garbage bag. The End.
