Christian Louboutin

It seems that every celebrity at one point or another is seen flaunting around in glamorous Louboutins. Whether it’s the sophisticated high heel or a classic flat, Christian Louboutin has become a staple in the closets of the A-listers. The “Pigalle Plato” Platform Pumps are no different as the design is impeccably exhibited with versatility, in an uptown or downtown manner. The platform adds further height to the elevated stature of the shoe contributing to the elegance. Unfortunately, I don’t have $775 to spend on these beautiful shoes, but the alternative below is quite dazzling.

These are available in natural, black and yellow patent leather, and gold snake leather.

Though I’m not an enthusiast of satin coated shoes, there is something unique about the Christian Louboutin “Greissimo” Knotted Satin Platform Pumps. The more I looked at some of my favorite celebrities wearing them, the more inclined I was to like them. Maybe it’s the element of the Louboutin name or rather the simplicity of the design. Even for those who find these alluring pumps very praiseworthy, the price and retailer are unknown. On that note, we have a steal that won’t break your wallet.

Gianni Bini “Ginger” Peep-Toe Platform Pumps

Luichiny “Sure Thing” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

I really like the magenta color of these Luichiny “Sure Thing” Satin Peep-toe Pumps. Available in an array of colors, I think that these shoes will make a great addition to one’s wardrobe. There are a lot of elements to play around with, and the wide spectrum of hues makes it that much easier to incorporate a touch of color. Although these pumps are bold, I appreciate that they can also be dressed down for a more low-key look. Plus, these are priced under $100.

A simple summertime wedge is sometimes all a girl needs to be happy. Now what’s shocking is that this simple wedge is by Christian Louboutin – the Liberace of shoemakers! No crazy 7 inch wedge. No crazy accouterments. Just a nice pinkish/mauve patent leather shoe. If only one could “simply” find $595 to pay for this much simplicity. But oh well, how do the French say – c’est la vie!

Steve Madden “WISSPER” Slingback Wedge Sandals

Now let me introduce you to the Robin Hood of the shoe world, Mr. Steve Madden. Bringing (and copying) designer heels for less and giving them to the poor (yet oh-so-fab) people! Once again, he doesn’t disappoint with his “WISSPER” slingback wedge. The only truly detectable difference is the thicker slingback strap and buckle. Other than that, for $29.99 (sale price!) this is a great steal. Available in black, teal, fuchsia and white patent as well as black suede, natural linen, navy fabric and leopard.

Talk about colorblocking at its best, these “Straratata” Suede Sandals by Christian Louboutin are a fusion of vibrancy meets contemporary wear. This is a definite statement shoe, and both the strappy-ness and many colors are contributing elements of the extravagant and bold appearance. Though I love Christian Louboutin and his creative design, the price tag is simply way out of my budget. Not to mention, these sandals are already sold out, which is unsurprising as many celebrities have been sporting them. In spite of this, take a look at the steal below.

Jessica Simpson “Evangela” Criss Cross Sandals

Jessica Simpson is one of the many celebrity designers which I have grew to praise mainly because I really do admire her shoe collection, and in addition I am fond of the Louboutin inspiration behind the design of the “Evangela” Criss Cross Sandals. Though it is arguable that her personal creativity is lackluster, I truly don’t mind as she brings the Louboutin feel minus the Louboutin price.

I wonder how Christian (yes, in my mind, him & I are on first name basis ;-) ) must feel, knowing that a lot of the shoes on the market are direct unabashed, unapologetic copies of his designs? And this bi-color heel is no exception. I’m gonna guess he isn’t feeling too bad because even if you could afford the $695 for this adorable (perfect for the office) ankle-strap, it’s sold out. But don’t fret; as I mentioned above, this heel too was knocked off.

Ivanka Trump “Marika” Sandals

This will probably sound cliche’, but I have only one thing to say to the designing team at Ivanka Trump: “You’re fired!” Seriously, I love a good bargain, but this outright laziness and lack of creativity is starting to really perplex me. I expected more from a celebrity endorsed line (that’s why I love Jessica Simpson’s line). BUT, if you could care less about the lack of originality, then this is a great imitation for you. I’ll just keep my (unsolicited) opinions to myself… this time. ;-)
