Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Une Plume Sling Cork Wedges

by Velicia Hill on April 1, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 1, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

A simple summertime wedge is sometimes all a girl needs to be happy. Now what’s shocking is that this simple wedge is by Christian Louboutin – the Liberace of shoemakers! No crazy 7 inch wedge. No crazy accouterments. Just a nice pinkish/mauve patent leather shoe. If only one could “simply” find $595 to pay for this much simplicity. But oh well, how do the French say – c’est la vie!

Steve Madden “WISSPER” Slingback Wedge Sandals

Now let me introduce you to the Robin Hood of the shoe world, Mr. Steve Madden. Bringing (and copying) designer heels for less and giving them to the poor (yet oh-so-fab) people! Once again, he doesn’t disappoint with his “WISSPER” slingback wedge. The only truly detectable difference is the thicker slingback strap and buckle. Other than that, for $29.99 (sale price!) this is a great steal. Available in black, teal, fuchsia and white patent as well as black suede, natural linen, navy fabric and leopard.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pumps

by Erica on May 5, 2011

Looks like many celebrities are going gaga over this Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pump! I certainly can’t blame them as this pump goes great with skinny jeans and your party dress. I love Reese Witherspoon in these pumps! She looks ultra chic with her black coat and navy dress! Very European and very stylish, I must say. Who do you think wore the pump best? If you don’t want to be set back $750, we have a pretty nice steal for you!

Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pumps

In some ways I actually like this Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pump better than the Jimmy Choos! First off, the pump offers that elegant invisible platform and it also comes in a really pretty platinum version that has a hint of sparkle to it (as well as ivory satin). Plus at $169.95, I definitely would give this pump a try!
