Real vs. Steal – Burberry Buckled Leather Sandals

by Juliana on May 9, 2012

Never was there a more comfortable heel for those of us who rarely wear flats. This design by Burberry has all the sophistication and allure of stilettos but thanks to the high platform and ankle straps, the stairs in your office building will be less daunting. This pair will get you so much mileage because you’ll be able to wear them with all of your wide leg pants and trousers! Simply add a signature black tote with gold hardware and you’ll be all set. The price is a bit steep though, so if you rather not spend your whole shoe budget on them, we can help with an amazing steal below!

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

How amazing is this pair by Steve Madden for only a fraction of the price? They have the same details, with just a few modifications: silver vs. gold hardware and a slightly shorter heel. But other than that they are almost identical! Upon closer look, I think a pencil skirt and a white blouse would look fantastic with these. Finish the outfit with a handbag similar to Stella McCartney’s Falabella, and keep the rest of your accessories modern and minimal: perhaps add a set of silver bangles and that’s it. More great news? They are also available in cognac and white leather.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry London Leather Piped Belted Gabardine Trench

by Roseanne on February 10, 2012

I think it has become clear why celebs absolutely adore the essential trench, and after all who can blame them? As a vital wardrobe must, this trench coat by Burberry is the ultimate classical statement with a contemporary twist. The silhouette is very flattering, framing the body and accentuating (and concealing) all the right places. Featuring leather piping, this adds a modern flair and truly brings a swanky feel to this highly coveted item. Though the price tag is quite steep, the steal below speaks for itself!

Also, if you’re against wearing leather, this may be a great alternative to the Burberry trench as it highlights a similar style without the leather piping.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Double Breasted Long Cotton Trench Coat

by Juliana on February 4, 2012

‘Tis the season of the trench. One of the classic essentials to every stylish girl’s wardrobe, this must-have is a safe return on investment. You can wear it on any occasion; from going out over a cocktail dress or with jeans and a feminine blouse on a hot date. It will take you from the airport to an elegant dinner, and you’ll look just as chic. For a piece like this, it’s really important to look for quality. And quality is something the iconic Burberry Trench has, but spending over a thousand dollars isn’t the only way to invest. Take a look at our other option below.

Mango Double Breasted Trench

Lucky for those of us who are on a budget, great quality can be found at an awesome price – if you know where to look. This gorgeously tailored trench by Mango, pays homage to the original silhouette and close attention to detail with its tortoiseshell buttons and flattering seams (in all the right places). Ladies without trenches, at $159.99, this is surely a wise addition to your closet.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Double Breasted Trench Coat

by Celine on January 30, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 30, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Alright, let’s just get right down to it, shall we? Everybody needs a trench in their closet. Everyone. That means you. I wasn’t a believer until I started wearing one myself, but I am here to tell you that they go with everything. They look simple and chic over jeans and classic and sexy over dresses. They can be worn over sweaters in the cooler months and worn over tanks in the warmer months. They are versatile and timeless, sophisticated and demure. Need I say more? Of course, there are tons of trenches out there and like pizza, despite what some people say, not every slice (or trench) is made equal. This Burberry Double Breasted Trench is probably about as good as it gets. Exquisitely cut with just enough detailing, I’m going to out on a limb here and say this could be the trench to end all trenches. But excuse me while I wipe away a tear… this coat retails for over $1.000.

ASOS Double Breasted Mac

Folks, just so you know, we rushed to get this post up because we are that certain that this trench will sell out. Another thing you should probably be aware of, is that I actually placed my own order for this coat before sitting down to write this entry. Yes, I was scared you all would buy out all the stock. We’ve got the same great detailing, the slant pockets and great cut. This coat is also available in red, but I’m all about the stone color.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Prorsum Shearling-Lined Platform Ankle Boots

GWQEKJGQWDJKGB! Sorry, I think I just fainted from looking at these stunning booties by Burberry Prorsum. As you can see from the shearling-lining they’re from the current F/W 2010 collection (the one everyone is copying right now). Seriously, it can’t get much better than these if you think design meets function. They keep your feet warm and make you look like you just ran out of a Vogue photoshoot. Soooo good! And despite the whopping price of $1.095 these keep selling out. If I had the funds, I, too, would indulge and blow my budget by buying just these shoes and nothing else this fall.

ALDO “Straugter” Ankle Boots

UPDATE (10/16/2010): It’s official. Burberry’s buckled shearling booties are definitely the “It” shoe of 2010. This is the 9th Burberry inspired alternative I’ve found and I have a feeling it isn’t the last one. Available in black or brown.

Steve Madden “BROADWY” Booties

Granted, it was only a matter of time until Steve Madden releases his own Burberry interpretation because he obviously can’t miss out on the biggest trend this fall. So ta-daaaaaa, here you go! The heel on the “BROADWY” ankle boots is sturdier compared to the stiletto-shape of the Burberry booties and they also don’t have the cozy shearling-lining, but aside from that they look very much the same. These are a little pricey at $149.95, but I have a feeling that these will fly off the shelves regardless.

Dolce Vita “Josh” Shearling Buckle Booties

UPDATE (10/16/2010): If you’re willing to spend some cash to get your Burberry fix, then Dolce Vita might be what you were looking for. Their upscale knockoff “Josh” is no identical twin, but still a great alternative.

Topshop “AMORE” Shearling Ankle Boots

If you’re serious about the shearling, but don’t want to spend that much, how about these ankle boots from Topshop then? They’re the least look-a-like-worthy of all the three options, but the Burberry influences are still very visible here, don’t you agree?
