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 – Chloé Myrte Sunglasses

by Irina on October 14, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 14, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

I recently noticed that I am pretty ill equipped in regards of sunglasses. In fact, I own exactly ONE (UPDATE: make that 4 now) pair of sunglasses which I bought about 2 years ago on eBay. However, those sunglasses I absolutely adore and treasure. It’s a pair of chocolate brown oversized Miu Miu sunnies which cost me about $120. I haven’t been tempted to buy any new sunglasses ever since, but that might be about to change because I fell in love with Chloé‘s gorgeous Myrte sunnies. I really like the shape and the metal inlays add detail and are so cute! Too bad they retail for $297 which is not a price I’m willing to pay since I’m not that big on sunglasses in the first place.

LC Lauren Conrad Round Sunglasses

UPDATE (10/14/2010): Lauren Conrad’s upscale fashion line may have tanked, but it looks like her line for Kohl’s, LC Lauren Conrad, is going pretty well. Maybe it’s so successful because she takes inspiration from her own fashion basics? Clearly, these sunglasses are spot-on Chloé’s Myrte knockoffs which she owns herself. Want the same style for a whole lot less? Get these sunnies at Kohl’s on sale for $16.99 in black, champagne or tortoise.

ASOS Corner Detail Sunglasses

I happened to browse ASOS for the newest arrivals today and was absolutely delighted to see an almost identical version of the Chloé Myrte sunnies for a much, much lower price. The inlays on the black version are gold instead of gunmetal, but I think I even prefer that. The sunglasses come also in brown tortoisels.

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Chain Link Gladiator Sandals

by Vanessa on July 31, 2010

I personally love Lauren Conrad because she wears, re-wears and even shares so much of her wardrobe like all “regular” girls do worldwide. Case in point: these Givenchy sandals. I only hope that next time she breaks them out of her closet, we see a little more color!

Real vs. Steal – Rebecca Minkoff Supernova Stud Devote Handbag

Don’t you just love a BHB? What’s a BHB, you ask? Um, hello… a Big Honkin’ Bag, of course! Nothin’ better, I tell you. Even if I only ever fill my BHBs to 1/4 full, I like the idea that I have lots of room when I need it. And this studly Supernova Stud Devote Handbag by Rebecca Minkoff fits the bill perfectly. The only thing about this big bag that doesn’t work for me is the price tag. But never mind that anyway. It’s totally sold out.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Lauren Conrad’s Navy Jumpsuit

by Vanessa on June 29, 2010

Not so long ago people were calling Lauren Conrad overexposed. Remember that? Well, the former reality star did a total 360 by spending so much of the last year out of the public eye. I’m not sure about all of you, but now, I just miss seeing her and her very West Coast style. I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when the paparazzi slipped us a little bit of Lauren earlier this month, looking fresh and adorable in this somewhat 70s inspired ensemble.
