Giuseppe Zanotti

These ladylike slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti are perfect for a Spring day. Their soft red color and wooden stacked heel is equal parts boho and girly. Just think about all of the fun outings to which you’ll be wearing them! I am envisioning myself at a French café, sipping on a hot cappuccino and chocolate croissant. The only drawback about my lovely daydream is the not-so-dreamy price of the shoes. But not to despair, you can be sure we’ve found the best alternative yet! Check out the fabulous steal below…

These Steve Madden candy-colored peep-toes offer just the same amount of playfulness, while still giving the appearance of super long legs with a coyly hidden platform and flattering slingback closure. It’s as if they were made for flirting! But that’s not all; with the price of this pair you can indulge in various café treats all season long.

Colorblocking has been trending for the past few seasons, and while mainly neon and bright colors have been featured for Spring, Giuseppe Zanotti brings us a toned down and more classical version in a shoe. Though these E10180 Two-Tone Ankle Strap Sandals don’t exactly coincide with the colorblocking concept, the idea of incorporating two tones, hence the beige and black, is there. Simply put, I find these to be super chic and elegant. Another perk is that they are currently on sale for $246.99 in comparison to their colossal original price of $550. Still not in your budget? Then check out the steal below.

Vince Camuto “Bello” Ankle Strap Sandals

As you can see, there aren’t many differences to spot aside from the price. Thanks to Vince Camuto, the “Bello” Ankle Strap Sandals display vast similarities with the real deal without breaking the bank. Priced at $129, we get the gorgeous Giuseppe Zanotti look while still maintaining a sense of affordability.

Giuseppe Zanotti is the man broadening my horizon in terms of shoe design. Why? Because in my mind I’ve never put crystals together with the colorblocking trend until I’ve seen the fabulous Zanotti heel below and now I feel like it might be the only way to wear crystals or colorblocking on your shoes. But oh hey, have you seen that outrageous price tag of 1.300+? Well, Signore Zanotti, sorry, but that’s not my kind of shopping budget…

Heart Soul “Tazio” Colorblock Slingback Pumps

Now this is more like it! The colorblocking is different here, but the “inspiration” behind these rhinestoned Steve Madden slingbacks is pretty obvious, isn’t it? Need a fun party heel for the upcoming holidays? Might as well go for Madden’s budget version. Curious to see if more color options pop up during the next days.

I’m always happy to see celebrities wearing accessible fashion, especially when they’re hitting the red carpet. Selena Gomez did just that by opting for a Balmain-ish ASOS black frock ($146.54) which she paired with a pair of steep Giuseppe Zanotti chiffon sandals ($850) at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert a few days ago. Well, you can’t expect a celeb going budget fashion head-to-toe I guess.

Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Dollhouse “Brik” Wedge Platform Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): If you’re looking for a cheap Zanotti alternative in red, check out these faux suede wedge pumps by Dollhouse. They’re $35 only & come in black patent as well black and red suede!

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.
