Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Sling Colorblock Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on May 11, 2012

Colorblocking is on the rise again with these multiple toned Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Platforms. Sold out at $945, these beauties serve as a perfect transition piece and can be worn almost all year round, especially in warmer regions. The featured colors are so mundane; however they are incorporated in a bold manner. The subtle beauty exhibited from these pumps resonates with the audience, but the unjustifiable price tag is a major drawback, hence, the amazing alternative below!

Sergio Zelcer “Weck” Open-Toe Slingback Pumps

Sergio Zelcer is leaving quite the impression on me with his version of the colorblocked pump. Ultimately, his version is not only budget-friendly but it is just as beautiful as the Louboutins pictured above. These “Weck” slingbacks also have a deep red sole if you truly want to immerse yourself in the classic Louboutin look. Overall, you get the designer signature style without spending part of your life savings account.

Real vs. Steal – Nicholas Kirkwood Lace-Up Lace Platform Sandals

by Velicia Hill on July 28, 2011

If you consider yourself an avantgarde rebel of fashion or truly related to Sarah Jessica Parker’s cinematic twin Carrie Bradshaw, then these Nicholas Kirkwood sandals are for you. Although I’ll pass; these are a little too much (ok, way too much) for me in terms of both design and price. These… uhm, shall I say I-bet-they-have-a-wonderful personality heels (wink, wink) go for roughly $1.200! But have no fear you rebel without a cause and/or those without a lot of cash, we’ve done our homework and found an awesomely priced alternative!

Real vs. Steal – Brian Atwood Maniac Quilted Pumps

by Irina on November 23, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 23, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

We’re all used to seeing quilted handbags everywhere thanks to Chanel, but how often have you seen someone wearing a quilted shoe? Brian Atwood makes all your quilted shoe fantasies come true. His “Maniac” pumps are absolutely lustworthy. Classic but with a twist. Also: a) pricey and b) long sold out. Bummer!

Sergio Zelcer “Cucu” Platform Pumps

It’s obvious that these quilted pumps by Sergio Zelcer are Brian Atwood wannabes. And even though they’re world’s apart in terms of look & quality, overall I’d still say they’re a great alternative if you’re looking for quilted shoes on a budget. Available in black or fuchsia patent.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Basket Pumps

by Celine on July 5, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 05, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Looking for that perfect airy pump for the spring that is so rapidly approaching? Have you seen the Miu Miu Basket Pumps? They’re sort of like Miu Miu‘s elevated, elegant take on the jelly. Don’t let that basket-weave fool you, though, that reinforced toe and super high heel means these are sophisticated enough to wear during an evening out. Like many of Miu Miu’s pumps, sadly, these are already totally sold out.

Rosegold “Marni” Pumps

Rosegold has done it again! They are quickly becoming my favorite knockoff brand because… well… just look at their “Marni” pumps. They are virtually identical to the Miu Miu Basket Pumps but at a much nicer price point. And truthfully, do you really want to throw down almost $600 for what are, essentially, glorified jellies? Didn’t think so. Available in black, cream and beige.
