Celebrity Look 4 Less – Heidi Klum in Gucci Spring 2010

Vahni — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:00:23 +0000

I confess: I. Love. Gucci. Especially the magnificent spring 2010 collection, with its ikat-meets-robot dresses and accessories. Who else could mix tribal, bondage, and mod—and do it so successfully? Apparently Heidi Klum is a fan as well. Let’s not all hate her cause she’s beautiful (even after popping out her own tribe of kids) and in Gucci, OK?

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Gail Ankle-Cuff Sandals

Vahni — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:00:13 +0000

Killing me softly with their song, killing me softly… What? Huh? Oh. Sorry, I was having a moment. I could swear I heard the siren song of the Gucci S/S 2010 collection calling my name. And in that same hypnotic moment, I envisioned walking into my closet and seeing Daryl, and Gail, and all my favorite Gucci friends. Sigh.

Bebe Shana Leather Cuffed Platform Sandals

You know what I’m going to write, right? That I’d totally be rocking the Gucci Gail this very moment if only they weren’t $795. But as such, they are relegated to my footwear fantasies. So again, we turn to Bebe, which has become quite the reliable source for designer-inspired shoes. The Shana Leather Cuffed Platform Sandals vary slightly compared to Gucci’s Gail, but they still have the same impact. Not for the weak at heart, no they aren’t. So should you decide to throw caution to the wind and strut these 5.75-inchers, at least the price tag won’t give you heart palpitations. Available in black & white.

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Daryl Platform Sandals

OMG. That stands for Oh. My. GUCCI! And oh, the hotness…Daryl, will you marry me? I am sick for this platform from the Gucci S/S 2010 collection. I mean, what else can I say, other than I think I need a cold shower? And so will anyone in the vicinity of a broad in these bodacious bondage-like shoes. Meeeeeeowwww mama!

Bebe Lily Leather Cutout Sandals

So why don’t I already own the Gucci Daryl? There are 930 reasons why, namely 930 George Washingtons that aren’t staring back at me from my wallet. I tell you, writing for this site is really going to get me in trouble because…look at that, whaddya know…our trusty friends at Bebe have produced the Lily Leather Cutout Sandal, a near replica. That I must buy. And at $149, you’re probably thinking the same thing too. Hurry though—I’m betting they won’t last long.

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Kills Peep-toe Platform Booties

Irina — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:00:03 +0000

I never wrote that much about Gucci clothes or shoes before because basically I never cared about their line nor did it ever appeal to me. This season however their women’s footwear range is just mindblowing and I’m beyond obsessed with their sky-high platform high heels. So dangerous! It doesn’t come as a surprise that the name of these platform peep-toe booties is “Kills” because whoa! they’re definitely KILLER! You know what kills me besides? Their price tag. $990 aren’t exactly pocket change.

Real vs. Steal – Gucci Division Triple Platform Pumps

Irina — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:00:53 +0000

With shoes, it’s like that: the more the merrier and the higher the better. Almost every outfit can be stepped up a notch if worn with a pair of high heels. Don’t believe me? Try it & you’ll see I’m right. Your legs will look leaner and longer and your whole posture will improve. Anyway… while I’ve never been a fan of Gucci (so overrated most of the time), I must admit I’ve been quite pleased (OK, obsessed) with their footwear range for Fall 2009. Especially with these triple platform stilettos. SO dangerous & sure super hard to walk in.

ALDO “Fogler” Platform Pumps

I first read about these Gucci inspired pumps by ALDO on Rachel Zoe’s website, so all credit for finding goes out to her. They might not be quite as delicate as the Gucci heels, but at $125 they’re a great alternative if buying the real deal is out of question. Also available in grey and purple.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Gucci Sevigny High Heel Sandal

Irina — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:00:33 +0000

These Gucci “Sevigny” ankle strap sandals were all the rage last year after they’ve been sported on the runway of Gucci’s Spring 2008 collection. Celebrities such as Ali Larter, Debra Messing and Camilla Belle have their own pair.

Charlotte Russe Gold Patent Ankle Wrap Stilettos

If you love the style, but can’t afford the hefty price tag, try this almost identical version from Charlotte Russe (also available in silver).
