Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Big Lips Stiletto Pumps

Velicia Hill — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 13:00:05 +0000

I’m completely fascinated by Christian Louboutin‘s mind. I’m starting to understand him… I think. This red calf hair pump named Big Lips, believe it or not, I get why he named it this. Just look at it. Does it not remind you of a mouth completely lacquered in red lipstick? Oh well, great minds think alike! Too bad not all wallets are created equal. Because at $995 this very kissable little heel has been snatched up by all those big lip bandits out there!

Real vs. Steal – Rock & Republic Nika Pumps

Oh. My. Lord. Every once in a while I am so captivated by a hot shoe that I am nearly rendered speechless. Nearly. The Nika Pumps by Rock & Republic are just such a pair. Those pewter colored studs and that gleaming, dangerous looking heel…I tell you, R&R has done everything right with this pair. They are stunning. No wonder why they’re gone.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kristen Stewart’s Valentino Lace Dress

Irina — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:00:31 +0000

How come that whenever I see Kristen Stewart hitting the red carpet it seems like she’s the unhappiest person in the world? I mean, I get that she’s the kind of celebrity who is very protective of her privacy, but c’mon, when you’re walking the red carpet it is an official event, so please put on a nice smile and let us mortals envy you in your super fancy and expensive Valentino dress and to-die-for Brian Atwood satin pumps. Too bad KStew rarely smiles because she’s amazingly pretty when she’s not wearing her grumpy face.

Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Imperiale Platform Pumps

Irina — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 09:30:42 +0000

Yves Saint Laurent will be always one of my favorite high fashion labels. They belong to fashion much like the Eiffel Tower belongs to Paris. Where would be without this everlasting French house of delicate fashion? In 100 years from now on most designers which are being hyped right now will be long forgotten, but I’m sure YSL will be considered iconic for its cultural and aesthetic influence in our era. And rightfully so. Evidence A: see below.

If you want the same style without breaking the bank, try these suede platforms by Dolce Vita which are dead ringers for the YSL Imperiale pumps.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kristen Stewart in Elizabeth & James Leather Dress

Irina — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:00:31 +0000

Ever since Kristen Stewart donned this black leather bustier dress by Elizabeth & James at a promotinal event in Madrid sometime last year I always wanted and hoped to find a steal version because I really, really liked the dress; the mix of sheer and leather, the side pockets (I love things that have pockets!), pretty much everything about it was enticing for me. But $545? Like seriously? Not gonna happen.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Karina Studded Fishnet Booties

Celine — Mon, 24 May 2010 11:00:13 +0000

I’ve already professed my love, here on InTheirCloset, for all shoes that could be labelled “sandal-booties” so I won’t bore you with that; I will merely tell you that of all the designers who have come out with such a hybrid, Jimmy Choo probably does it best. His Karina Studded Fishnet Booties do indeed look like sexy fishnets for your feet. They accomplish the seemingly impossible: covering up the majority of the foot while still managing to look incredibly provocative. I love how they can look both sweet (see Shenae Grimes below) and tart (take a look at Anna Faris). Unfortunately the Choos ain’t cheap. These retail for $1,095. Granted they are on sale but $510 isn’t sounding much better to this broke gal.

Blessedly, Bumper has created the Kakoa-79 Mesh Studded Sandal. Yes, these are lacking a certain “Je ne sais quoi” that the Choos have in abundance, but these still look great and they are incredibly affordable. They retail for $26.99, but if you use the code listed above you will save a whopping $9.45 on these heels. I mean, honestly, they’re practically paying you to take these sandals off their hands. I say take them up on that offer. Also available in pink and yellow.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Bow-Embellished Suede Pumps

Celine — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:00:16 +0000

Every now and again a shoe crosses my radar that I am totally wowed by. The Chloé Bow-Embellished Pump would fall into that category. It is a shoe that remarkably seems to transcend both the barriers of time and style. The shape of the shoe along with the crystal bows and embellishments are vaguely reminiscent, in my opinion, of the overly ornate footwear women wore in the 1700s prior to the French Revolution. And I mean that in the best possible way. But then scroll down and take a gander at how Kristen Stewart was styled while wearing these exquisite heels. She’s totally rocked out and miraculously these shoes seem to fit perfectly. All that inky black suede adds instant edginess but the crystal bows manage to sweeten the whole look. Well, here I’ve been rambling on about the awesomeness that is these shoes and, silly me, not only are they ridiculously expensive but they are also sold out. Sorry about that.

Pour La Victoire “Antoinette” Bow Pumps

Pour La Victoire is a shoe designer I’ve been following for a few years. They make beautiful, original footwear but occasionally they’ll come out with an equally stunning “inspired-by” shoe. Their “Antoinette” Bow Pumps (so perfectly named!) are not exact copies of the Chloés, but they’re similar enough that we can certainly see where the inspiration came from. Crystal bows atop a bed of black satin and a back zip closure, just like the originals. Oh, and a much easier to swallow price-tag. Yum.

In Kristen Stewart’s Closet – Elizabeth and James Stiletto Ponte Knit & Leather Dress

Irina — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:00:39 +0000

Back in November during her promotional tour for New Moon, Kristen Stewart wowed the press in a black Elizabeth and James leather dress at the photocall in Madrid which she accessorized with her hunky co-stars and a pair of gorgeous Christian Louboutin merlot platform pumps. If you were dying to find Kristen’s dress ever since, your search is finally over because the dress can now be pre-ordered at NORDSTROM for a whopping $545. Pricey, indeed, but still sold out soon I’m pretty sure. Twilight fashionistas, get your credit cards ready!
