Juliana — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:00:08 +0000

Miranda Kerr pulls off easy Hollywood glamour as she steps out to run a few errands. Of course the Victoria’s Secret model is already gorgeous, but also stylish as well. Picking up on the neon trend in a bubblegum pink sweatshirt, and adding tomboy flair with some distressed denim shorts in a relaxed fit. But what really pulls the entire outfit together are her accessories: A fantastic neutral colored bucket bag, a pair of adorable ankle boots with a very southwestern feel, and finishing off the look with face-framing aviators. Scroll down to get more details on Miranda’s young and hip ensemble, and where you can snag the same pieces that are in her closet!

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang One Shoulder Goddess Dress

Irina — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:30:07 +0000

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.

Vahni — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:00:23 +0000

In case you didn’t get the memo, the 2010 designer darling is Alexander Wang. And why not? Aside from his clothing lines, his bags are legendary, his shoes the definition of urban cool, and—mark my words—his Zoro Angular Acetate Sunglasses are going to be iconic. In 20 years’ time, your girls are going to be scrambling for their very own vintage pair. They are the cat eye of the noughties.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Fabiana Metallic Patent Leather Cape Sandals

Juliana — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:00:53 +0000

If I ever want to add a dash of sex appeal, I usually reach for a pair of sky-high heels and instantly I feel transformed. But these Alexander Wang Metallic Sandals are in a league all their own. They are one part mysterious and two parts siren, and how gorgeous is that metallic rose gold? Unfortunately, they are completely sold out, but you can snag a similar pair for a fraction of the original $495 price tag. Check out the steals below!

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Hanne Ankle Boots

Irina — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:00:54 +0000

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.

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!

In Kristin Cavallari’s Closet – MINKPINK & Alexander Wang

Irina — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 13:00:02 +0000

So in terms of fame, talent and celebrity status Kristin Cavallari might be totally irrelevant and overrated, but I have to admit I do like the way she dresses. For example, I love the look Kristin recently sported while making her way to the LAX airport. Big shades, carrying the iconic Rocco satchel by Alexander Wang, black skinnies paired with suede high heel booties, an oversized cardi and an animal print snood to cozy up with when the overenthusiastic A/C starts blowing your way on the plane. Casual and comfy yet still totally stylish. A+ for travel chic!

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Anais Loafer Pumps

Velicia Hill — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:00:43 +0000

I have to admit when accessorizing with jewelry, I tend to go for silver. And these Anais loafer pumps by Alexander Wang are no exception. A beautiful shiny yet matte loafer with matching tassels that will look awesome with an all red ensemble or, of course, with the always proverbial play-it-safe black. But at $650, I’d rather take a pair in silver plated, please.

Topshop “PLANET” Flared Heel Platform Moccasins

Well, what planet are you on? Um… a cheaper one that’s selling this very cute “Planet” platform by Topshop! Absolutely loving the exaggerated platform and the fact that it’s available in black and silver for under $200.

Jeffrey Campbell “Zealous” Wedge Pumps

OMG, this knock-off is my favorite! I’m jealous of any chick who has this wedge and overzealous writing about this hot “Zealous” heel by Jeffrey Campbell. OK, it’s not the cheapest knock-off we’ve ever discovered, but a wedge like this must be in your fall lineup. Available for $169.95 in awesome fall colors: silver (as seen), black & bronze (paired with rich browns & oranges will be hot). At least the fashion style tips are FREE!

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffel Bag

Celine — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:00:45 +0000

You know how I know we’re good? Because we never forget a shoe. Or a handbag. Or a face. OK, so not the last one. Back in the old days (you know, 2005) the fashion world saw the introduction to the “It Bag” – a bag that became every starlet’s must have accessory. One day, readers (stay with me), Mary Kate Olsen was spotted carrying a gorgeous black, studded bag that no one could identify but that everyone immediately wanted. A year later the bag (eventually attributed to the talented, Alexander Wang) was made available to the public. It was then known as “Coco”; it is now known as “Rocco”; I can afford neither one.

BagInc “Alexa” Studded Leather Bag

UPDATE (04/26/2011): I just stumbled upon this fantastic and virtually identical Rocco look-a-like by BagInc. Love it! It’s a little pricey, but a) it’s made of real leather and b) they offer free worldwide shipping on all orders of $99+. Plus, you can get 10% OFF your entire order with our exclusive coupon code “INTHEIRCLOSET“. Yup, that’s how much we love you! – P.S.: I now own this bag and it is AH-MAZ-ING (review here…)! So so so worth the investment! Just read the various 5-star customer reviews.

Street Level 78080 Studded Duffel Bag

UPDATE (10/05/2011): Found another Rocco alternative by Street Level. It only comes in taupe, has 2 added tassels and it is also faux leather, but the price of $68 makes up for this.

Ajito Studded Bottom Satchel

UPDATE (09/03/2010): Reader Addy informed us about this lovely Rocco knockoff by Ajito. It comes in either black, brown, grey or white. Thanks, Addy!

Wet Seal Stud Bottom Satchel

I have to be honest, the last time I shopped at Wet Seal I was looking for something to wear to the school dance (in other words, it was 1998), but by golly perhaps Wet Seal deserves another look! Their Stud Bottom Satchel is a pretty darn great dupe of the Alexander Wang bag. True, it’s not made out of leather but I know there are vegans among us who actually prefer that. For a measly $24.50 this is a hot bag to add to your arsenal. (Note: if you’re having trouble locating the bag on theWet Seal site, click on the link below and enter the style number – “42178118” – into the search field).

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Alla Peep-toe Wedges

Celine — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:00:17 +0000

Finally! I’ve gotta tell you guys, I have been anxiously awaiting the “knock-off” version of the Alexander Wang Alla wedges for months now and judging from the amount of emails we’ve received on this shoe, I’m not the only one. These super cute wedges are not only super pricey but also super sold out. I initially saw them on Khloe Kardashian (the leopard version) and it was love at first sight. Since then I’ve been both stalking them on eBay (totally fruitless) and looking for “steal” versions (also completely pointless)…

Vince Camuto “Zandy” Ankle Booties

UPDATE (08/22/2011): Found yet another Alla look-a-like which features a ruched look. This one’s coming from Vince Camuto and is available in either black or walnut brown.

P.S.: Also available at Piperlime, Vince Camuto & Dillard’s.

Bebe “Alexa” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (12/16/2010): Bebe has another fantastic yet budget-friendly Alla alternative. Available in either black as shown below or leopard print (very reminiscent of Alexander Wang’s infamous Alla leopard wedges).

($149, Bebe)

Joan & David “Opal” Wedge Booties

Well our patience seems to have paid off. Joan & David‘s “Opal” Wedge Booties are not the cheapest steal we’ve ever featured, but gosh, they’re good, aren’t they? In all the most important ways, these booties are an awesome knockoff of the Allas. Beautiful shape, rich color, peep-toe… half the price… now all we need is a leopard version. For now though, I’ll take the black leather or black suede.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Colorblock Tube Dress

Irina — Sun, 22 May 2011 12:30:27 +0000

The colorblock tube dress below was one of my favorite pieces from Alexander Wang‘s Spring 2009 collection, but at one point the dress became so popular that I was sick of seeing it every second day on the red carpet. Now that the overexposure has stopped, my love returned, but unfortunately the dress has sold out since. Not that I could afford it were it still available.

Lipsy Asymmetric Colour Block Body-Con Dress

All the European Alexander Wang fans rejoice! Lipsy has a great knockoff dress retailing for £65. The material is different and the colorblocking isn’t in the exact same order, but it’s still a great look 4 less alternative.
