The Rebecca Minkoff Boyfriend Crossbody Bag is very in right now, as it is the It bag making its appearance among quite a few celebrities. The hardware inspired embellishments along with the chained strap add a touch of masculinity but in a feminine way. It’s the perfect size if you’re on the go, or it can be simultaneously transformed into a clutch for a night out of town look. I especially love the military green color Shenae Grimes and Ashley Greene are sporting, too bad it’s $295.

Steve Madden “BROCKS” Bag

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

This is a great alternative to the Rebecca Minkoff bag as it is practically identical to it but also very much budget-friendly. The Steve Madden “Brocks” handbag incorporates the same idea of masculinity in a chic way. It is available in scarlet red, black and light blue.

Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Dollhouse “Brik” Wedge Platform Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): If you’re looking for a cheap Zanotti alternative in red, check out these faux suede wedge pumps by Dollhouse. They’re $35 only & come in black patent as well black and red suede!

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.

And Christian Louboutin has done it again! Or more in his case, several times. What’s great about this sandal is its simplicity. It has just the right amount of glamour; a shoe perfect for any of your night-out-on-the-town experiences. Or, for the A-listers, the red carpet. I love how Reese Witherspoon wears this elegant sandal with her Jason Wu dress that fits her perfectly. I’m still on the fence on how I feel about Michelle Trachtenberg wearing these sandals as it looks like her toes are hanging over and I think her LBDs could be a few inches longer. Also, the quality of this shoe should be noted; “strass” crystals are the finest quality crystals in the world. So, $895 doesn’t sound too bad for a bedazzled Louboutin sandal. Yet, I know most of us aren’t going to be put on the waiting list for this shoe since it is sold out, so here is a better idea!

Ivanka Trump “Doublet” Crystal Strappy Sandals

OK, so minus the strass crystals and red bottom you basically have a replica of the Louboutin sandal in these Ivanka Trump heels! And at $140 it won’t put a strain on your wallet either! Available in black, pale grey and ivory/champagne satin (which would make a really great bridal shoe).
