Real vs. Steal – Alice + Olivia Colorblock Fan Dress

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 09, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

You might remember I already wrote about this particular Alice + Olivia strapless dress in the past which I then listed as a budget-friendly alternative because it looked very similar to the Gianfranco Ferré dress Anne Hathaway wore at VH1′s 14th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards back in January.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Zipper Boots

by Irina on January 3, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 03, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

So, did you catch the zippers & buckles trend for this season? This is majorly thanks to Balmain & Giuseppe Zanotti who presented this trend in their wonderful Fall 2009 collection. Take these suede zipper boots here for example. They are absolutely gorgeous and I would LOVE to rock them, but at $1.975 a pair this isn’t going to happen… sad, but true.

Anne Michelle “Just Zip It” Boots

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw these hot babies by Anne Michelle popping up on LuLu*s “What’s New“-section. They look so close to the originals and are sooooo affordable at the same time. Major excitement! Yes, they are faux-suede, but it’s almost impossible to get real suede at such a cheap price, so don’t complain.

N.Y.L.A. “Zipit” Ankle Boots

We all have different kinds of budgets and since I know a lot of you aren’t into faux suede, I wanted to provide an additional great Balmain alternative to lust after. These zippered boots by N.Y.L.A. are significantly pricier than the Anne Michelle boots, but the quality you’ll get will be accordingly better. Available in black, brown, natural or red suede.

Real vs. Steal – Laila Azhar One Shoulder Twist Dress

by Irina on October 13, 2009

I remember how much I fell in love with this vibrant blue asymmetrical dress by Laila Azhar. The dress is rather simple and doesn’t have too many distracting details and that’s exactly what I love about dresses. A defined, clean silhouette outdoes a ruffled, over-the-top dress anytime… at least in my book (doesn’t automatically mean I can’t love a complex dress from time).

LuLu*s Once in a Blue Moon Dress

This one shoulder dress by LuLu*s might not be silk and the gathering on this frock might go to the right side bodice, but the color, cut and twisted details reveal the inspiration behind this dress very clearly. I think it’s a great budget-friendly alternative for fashionistas trying to save some cash.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Lindsay Lohan & Khloe Kardashian in Hervé Léger

by Irina on February 7, 2009

Back in June 2006, wild child Lindsay Lohan sported a beautiful black and white Hervé Léger bandage dress when she attended the Cartier and Interview Magazine’s Charity Love Bracelet Party. Lindsay wore her hair in a loose updo and accessorized with Cartier jewels, a black clutch and black slingback peep-toes.

More than a year later in October 2007, Khloe Kardashian wore the same black and white Hervé frock to the premiere of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” which she teamed with silver bracelets and black peep-toe Louboutin pumps.

Carmen Electra wore a taupe version of the dress at NYC Fashion Week in 2007.

I prefer the dress on Lindsay because a) she accessorized better b) her updo allows to see more of the dress and c) because the dress hugs her in all the right places whereas I do not think that it flatters Khloe’s body shape very much. But what do you think?

BCBG Black and White Satin Cocktail Dress

If you liked Lindsay’s and Khloe’s black and white Hervé Léger dress, but don’t want to spend a fortune, try this BCBG monochrome satin bandage dress by BCBG. The dresses are almost identical except for the material and the straps.

Max Azria is the chef designer of both BCBG and Hervé Léger, so I guess this cheaper knockoff version is his take on Hervé Léger 4 Less.
