Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps

by Roseanne on January 29, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 29, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Prada is known for redefining what fashion truly is by following the theme of subtle luxury. Miu Miu, from the Prada fashion house, merely follows the same concept but with an avant garde flair. I found that the entire Miu Miu Fall collection was very versatile and most importantly super wearable. The Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps exhibit an architectural sculpted heel which is bold yet minimalistic, therefore making it wearable for every occasion. I love the way Taylor Swift wore these pumps; it’s classy yet modern and the red lip adds a touch of boldness. Who do you think wore Miu Miu best?

Gianni Bini “Daniella” Peep-Toe Platform Pumps

UPDATE (01/29/2012): Here a few more Miu Miu knockoffs, all under $80. By Gianni Bini. I really like the blue python print version for some reason.

Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps

For one who is looking to indulge in the flared heel style, these Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps are a remarkable look-a-like. These are chicly refined, and are essentially for any woman’s taste. It is very hard to distinguish the difference between these and the pumps by Miu Miu. Even by looking at the miniscule details, for one I can’t tell the difference. Aside from flaunting a similar style, these are much more affordable. Available in black or light grey suede.

KG “Caggie” Platform Peep-toe Pumps

Like the look-a-like above, these KG by Kurt Geiger “Caggie” Peep-toe Pumps also follow a similar concept. As a more affordable alternative, these are definitely less costly than the Miu Miu pumps as well as the Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps above. Available in black suede or nude leather.

Celebrities Love… Wildfox Sparkle Heart Baggy Beach Top

by Erica on April 2, 2011

Wildfox has done it again! First celebrities were in love with the “Love Potion No. 9” & now they’re in love with the heart! And can you blame them? I particularly love how Taylor Swift is wearing the top! Even holding her “Target” bag she still looks ultra chic! J.Lo, on the other hand, looks somewhat frumpy in the top by pairing it with a pair of calf-length leggings and some plain flats that don’t really do anything for her body type. Also, Jennifer Love Hewitt needs to find a pair of pants that fit her properly and I personally think the heart-shaped sunglasses are overkill. What do you think?

Real vs. Steal – Alice + Olivia Maggie Sequin Strapless Dress

by Velicia Hill on March 28, 2011

Sequins + X ( x meaning anything) = FABULOUS! I adore sequins! It’s such a girly fabric. Even at my age of… grown ;-) , I can appreciate the glitz & glamour of it all. C’mon, who doesn’t need that in our otherwise ordinary lives? That’s why, at first glance, this sweet sequin dress by Alice + Olivia put the biggest smile on my face. The price tag? Not so much. I can’t say it’s overly expensive, but when a girl can save a few duckies, why not?! So if sequins is your name and glamour is your game, check out our alternative below.

Aqua Sequined Top Dress

We’re good at this aren’t we? Who else is helping you save money and still look good at the same time? Only the team at In Their Closet, that’s who! This dress by Aqua is pretty damn close to the “Maggie” by Alice + Olivia. And you get to save $54 to spend on getting your hair “did”, makeup, shoes, or accessories to complete your look! What’s that you say? Oh absolutely, you’re welcome. :-)

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Multi Strap Wedges

by Irina on March 14, 2011

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

How kickass are these shiny multi strap wedges by Givenchy? When I first saw the footwear collection for the S/S 2010 collection I was unsure if fast fashion chains would answer the call by replicating these extreme almost fetish-style shoes. But surprisingly a lot of them did and we’ve had several of the Givenchy shoes available for those on a lighter shoe shopping budget.

Steve Madden “BONNDD” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (10/27/2010): Apparently Steve Madden liked these Givenchy wedges so much they had to make a second, cheaper alternative. Good for us broke Givenchy lovers I guess. Available in black, blue, cognac & blush.

Joe’s Jeans “Unforgettable” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (09/05/2010): This is the 4th Givenchy knockoff I’ve come across in a matter of 2 weeks. Seems like people love Givenchy right now. Joe’s Jeans who are now also making footwear have copied Givenchy in the past, so it didn’t come as a surprise that they’ve done it again. Available in black leather or grey suede.

Real vs. Steal – Wildfox Love Potion No. 9 Sweater

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2011. Scroll down to the new add.

Who needs a little love potion in their life? I know I do! This comfy little number by Wildfox looks fantastic on starlets Taylor Swift and Alessandra Ambrosio. The top looks super chic with boots and jeggings and I love how Taylor paired the look with bright red Ray-Bans! So, if $180 doesn’t exactly work with your budget, simply check out our steal find.

GoJane Slouchy Asymmetrical Embellished Graphic Dress

GoJane‘s Slouchy Asymmetrical Embellished Graphic Dress is a good copycat version of the Wildfox Love Potion No. 9 Sweater. And the best part is it’s only priced at $24.80! However, I still find myself drawn to the Wildfox Love Potion No. 9 Sweater. I think I’d just rather have it as a top rather than a slouchy fitted dress. Still cute though! Just depends on your style. Available in ivory or black.
