Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Big Lips Stiletto Pumps

by Velicia Hill on May 7, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 7, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

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 – Alexander Wang One Shoulder Goddess Dress

by Irina on March 12, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 12, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Alexander Wang presented his Pre-Fall 2010 collection a few days ago and I have to admit I’m not impressed. Ever since his glorious Spring and Pre-Fall 2009 collections he just couldn’t live up to my expectations. Maybe Fall 2010 will reignite my love for his designs. Until then I’ll have to keep on drooling over his past creations, one of which is this beautifully draped asymmetrical jersey dress from his Pre-Fall 2009 collection. So simple yet so stylish.

ASOS Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress

UPDATE (04/15/2010): ASOS has a dress which is quite reminiscent of the Alexander Wang LBD. It’s more body-con and drapes to the other side, but overall is still a good match I think. Available in 7 different colors.

Real vs. Steal – Balenciaga Open Toe Slingback Sandals

by Juliana on February 16, 2012

Got a little bit of a rocker-girl inside but don’t know how to express it? Try wearing these Balenciaga sandals and you’ll exude just enough edge while maintaining a polished look. Looking for the best way to pull them off? If you have long legs, try a black pencil skirt with a slightly longer hem in back and if you’re petite or curvy, wear some black leggings like Rihanna (below) with an off-the-shoulder knit dress. But the most important accessory is confidence, and to rock these – you gotta show it. While these shoes are amazing, if they don’t fit your budget, scroll down cause the steal we found is a ringer for the original.

Strategia “Alicia” Open Toe Slingbacks

Nope, you’re not seeing double. This pair by Strategia is actually quite a bit less than the ones above. What’s keeping you from making them yours? These architectural sandals will look artsy and modern with some red nail polish or go mysterious with a darker one. Either way, just let your shoes make the introduction and you can take over from there.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen “Faithful” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

by Irina on February 10, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 10th, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I wonder if – one fine day – I will be the happy owner of a pair of Alexander McQueen heels. I would LOVE to, but thinking that his shoes go for more than 1k per pair, I somehow doubt this is ever going to happen. Not with that kind of budget at least. Anyone out there bothering to tell me the secret of getting rich quick? My shoe addiction refuses to wait any longer to be satisfied.

UPDATE (05/27/2010): If you’re wary of high heels, try these “Faithful” knockoffs by Madden Girl. They’re a bit bulky, but the low heel makes them that much more practical for day-to-day wear. The price ain’t too bad either.

I love and hate Steve Madden. Hate because his collection is mostly based on other people’s creativity and LOVE because it makes being fashionable on a budget SO much easier without having to compromise the designer look of a shoe. These Alexander McQueen knockoffs are almost identical, the only thing that’s different is that the zipper isn’t a skull shape, but everything else could pass as the original. The ankle boots are currently on pre-order and will be ready to ship in approx. 4 weeks. However I wouldn’t wait too long to order as this style is probably one of the first to sell out.
