Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Hanne Ankle Boots

by Irina on January 4, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 4, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

While Alexander Wang‘s Fall 2009 collection didn’t impress me much in terms of clothes I must admit I am quite fond of these buckled pointy ankle boots which were also a part of this collection. The other shoe styles were a bit too masculine for me, but the “Hanne” boot had just the right amount of edginess and badass punk. Sadly, they are also quite pricey at more than $1.200 a pair.

Qupid Plot-05 Buckled Booties

UPDATE (01/04/2012): I didn’t really think I’d stumble upon any more Hanne look-a-likes, but Qupid came out with a very Wang inspired version for under $40.

Jeffrey Campbell “Morrow” Buckle Booties

Jeffrey Campbell knows how to satisfy a fashionista’s craving for top notch style but without the designer price tag. His latest style incorporates an almost identical version of Alexander Wang’s Hanne booties mixed with a Camilla Skovgaard sole.

ALDO “Tilbury” Ankle Boots

If you are looking for a cheaper option, ALDO has a pair of boots which look heavily inspired by Alexander Wang’s Hanne booties. The buckles are silver and differently arranged, but the look and feel still screams ALEXANDER WANG!

Real vs. Steal – Elizabeth and James Sequined Sweatshirt

by Erica on November 16, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 16, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

There’s something really fun about this household heather grey sweatshirt by Elizabeth and James gone glam. Yes, I realize it’s essentially a sweatshirt but look at it! I love it with a pair of fitted jeans, however I wouldn’t necessarily pair it with your old chucks that have been rotting in the back of your closet. Pair it with a nice pair of black pumps to bring out more of a glam look rather than a slouchy “I haven’t had my first cup of coffee“-look that Dakota Fanning is sporting. So, if $312 is a bit steep for you we have another great solution!

Theme Sequin Sweater

UPDATE (11/14/2011): Ten months after posting the first steal, I’ve came across another great E&J sequin sweater look-a-like by Theme. Although significantly darker than the original I think it’s still a great alternative and a lot cheaper, too!

Ella Moss “Majesty” Sequin Sweatshirt Top

I think the Ella Moss version for less than $100 fits the bill! It’s almost exactly the same look besides a little bit of difference in sleeve length and it comes in grey or black. I would have to say this Ella Moss sequined sweatshirt is superb in following the look and not hurting our wallets.

Real vs. Steal – Frye Veronica Slouch Boots

by Irina on October 14, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 14, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Let’s be honest. When it comes to shoe shopping 9 out of 10 times when we freak out about a pair and start squealing “Oh my God! These are to-die-for!“, it’s about those gorgeous, embellished, satin peep-toe stilettos also known as the shoes we almost never wear because a) they’re too high b) not appropriate for everyday wear or c) just too precious to be worn (I mean, you don’t want to risk getting them scuffed, dusty or rained on, right?). Don’t get me wrong: I love my sky-high pink stiletto sandals with all my heart, but whenever I storm out the door I most probably am not wearing these. So last year, I wanted to be reasonable for once and thus forced myself to get flat and comfortable boots. And surprisingly, I went home with 2 beautiful pairs. Both were very similar to Frye‘s Veronica boots below and I just can’t tell you how much I love them. They’re extremely comfortable, keep me warm during winter and look super stylish as well. One of the best purchases ever! I get so much wear out of these.

Xhilaration® “Karima” Genuine Leather Boots

UPDATE (10/14/2011): Here’s another fantastic budget alternative if you covet the Frye boots but don’t have the neccessary funds. Xhilaration® comes to the rescue with their $49.99 genuine leather boots “Karima”. Available in dark brown or black.

Steve Madden “VERONNA” Buckle Boots

I recently discovered these Steve Madden boots and thought they’d make a wonderful budget-friendly option if you can’t afford the real deal. The style is almost identical and even the name of the boots sounds similar to Frye’s. The boots are currently marked down to $99.95 (was $159.95) and come in either black, brown or brown distressed.

Real vs. Steal – 3.1 Phillip Lim Animal Print Biker Jacket

by Irina on October 12, 2011

I do love animal print, but I don’t think I’d be able to rock this giraffe-print biker jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lim with the confidence it needs to make it look good. Also, I don’t have the funds to buy a designer leather jacket. Not that I would need them because this jacket is sold out anyway.

ASOS Leather Biker With Leopard Print Pony Panel

If you can picture yourself wearing an animal print adorned biker jacket à la Miley or Jessica then this ASOS leather jacket might be a good alternative. It does have a leopard print panel instead of a giraffe print one and it’s also missing a few details, but if you can save almost $1,000 why not opting for this one instead?

Real vs. Steal – Maison Martin Margiela Wedge Ankle Boots

by Irina on October 5, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 05, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

With Maison Martin Margiela it’s always hit or miss for me. Either I absolutely adore his shoes or I am totally turned off by them. These studded wedge booties fall into the first category. I love the illusion wedge, it looks so cute and clever, don’t you think? But would I be willing to shell out $890 for them? No, not really.

N.Y.L.A. “Noelle” Wedge Booties

UPDATE (09/17/2011): As previously suspected N.Y.L.A. and Black Rooster rebrand the same shoe styles. Just look at these booties here. They’re absolutely identical and look at the shoe names of both the N.Y.L.A.s and the Black Roosters. Noelle vs. Noella? Rebranded!
