Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals

Roseanne — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:00:32 +0000

Speaking of a super popular shoe, it seems that these Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals have made quite the statement among celebs. I love everything that this shoe has to offer, especially the metallic hue and the towering heel. I can’t even decide who wore these platform sandals best; everyone looks so fashionable and posh. Who do you think wore Jimmy Choo best? Surprisingly though… these glamorous platforms are not sold out yet so if you want to, or have $1.095 then these would make an amazing splurge. Otherwise, scroll down to see the fabulous steal below.

Sergio Zelcer “Osima” Platform Sandals

Thanks to Sergio Zelcer, the “Osima” Platform Sandals practically dupe the Jimmy Choo design above. These shoes definitely fit into the category of “glamour”, and are very elegant for a special event. Though I love the solid tones, the tie dye options add a certain zest and have more of a casual look. Available in gold, silver, and orange and blue tie dye.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vamp Platform Sandals

Velicia Hill — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:00:47 +0000

What is it about pink platforms in the wintertime that makes me smile? Aahhh, the perfect cure for the winter blues (well… besides a good hot toddy)! And Jimmy Choo‘s “Vamp” is making me feel all warm and tingly. But what’s scaring me is the shocking price tag – $649, really? OK, that won’t be happening this winter or the next; which is why the steal below will be just fine.

Dune “Gwnyeth D” Strappy Sandals

It’s cold outside, but I’m dreaming of sand dunes. Well, actually I’m daydreaming about “Gwnyeth D” by Dune. So cute, so pink & so affordable! But if you aren’t trying to emulate Barbie by wearing pink heels, then you’re in luck. You can get this heel in black, plum and teal satin as well as black/taupe glitter. Hot toddy anyone?

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Mila Kunis’ Red Versace Dress & Nude Jimmy Choo Pumps

Irina — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:00:28 +0000

I’ve grown quite fond of red dresses. So much that I own about 5 of them. There’s no need to shy away from this color and it flatters almost everyone (might be a bit tricky on redheads but not overly so)! Check out Mila Kunis wearing a stunning red Versace frock which she paired with nude patent Jimmy Choos. Sexy yet classy. Exactly how I like my red! What do you think of Mila’s look?

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Fire Cut-Out Ankle Boots

Vahni — Thu, 26 May 2011 19:00:03 +0000

I am naturally not attracted to red—I have a total of three red pieces in my wardrobe. But when I saw the red suede Jimmy Choo Fire Cut-Out Ankle Boots like Fergie’s (below), I fell in love. Fire indeed! They are totally hot. There’s just something about all those stripes of skin peeking through.

Vince Camuto “Aphrodite” Sandals

Who doesn’t love a Choo shoe? I know no woman alive who’d deny herself the pleasure if her finances could enable the experience. If only. Since most of us can’t fill our closets with boxes by Jimmy Choo (and because the Fire Cut-Out Ankle Boots are sold out anyway) here’s a nice consolation prize: the “Aphrodite” by Vince Camuto. They aren’t 100% like the Choo version, but still a shapely and sexy pair. Available in black, nude and natural… and I’m loving the natural for all those military looks planned for spring.

Office “BASK IN GLORY” Cut-Out Booties

Also worthy of consideration are the “BASK IN GLORY” Cut-Out Booties by Office. Love this shoe for its Choo-like similarities (the buckle detail and opening at the ankle), and also for its daring differences (woven detail and trim). It’s also available in a delectable dark taupe that really showcases the lovely detail on these booties—you must click over to Office to see the 360-degree view. I’d even go so far as to say that I like the dark taupe better than the Choo booties. Now that speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Crown Peep-toe Glitter Pumps

Velicia Hill — Mon, 23 May 2011 12:00:29 +0000

Does anyone remember when glitter and 5 inch heels were strictly relegated to “Ladies of the Night”; nor would one be caught dead outside of a strip club in anything with these features? Well, I sure do! I’m trying to recollect when the changeover happened and by whom. But until I can recall the exact shoe that went mainstream with a 5 inch glitterati heel, I’ll just enjoy this quite sensible (yet quite expensive), peep-toe pump by the respectable Jimmy Choo.

Enzo Angiolini “Sully” Platform Pumps

But if your wallet needs to enjoy something a little less expensive, then this glittering copy of the Jimmy Choo by Enzo Angiolini will barely sully your shoe shopping budget for the month – only $88.95. By the way, check this heel out in black and red glitter… HOT!

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Aurora Open-Toe Sandals

Erica — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:00:06 +0000

This shoe definitely reminds me of bondage and who wouldn’t want some sexy yet classy bondage footwear? Especially if it’s Jimmy Choo! These shoes will look stellar with a cute pair of skinny jeans or a not so over-the-top dress to really spice up your outfit! But, if you’re not willing to pay that luxury price, or be put on a waiting list since this Jimmy Choo is sold out we have another alternative!

($895, SOLD OUT)

Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pumps

So the heel might not be as high as the Choo, and yes I will admit I do still prefer the Choo over this one (it’s my luxury love), you can still have a fun time with this Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pump! And priced at $199.95, it’s definitely a way more affordable way to get the bondage look! Available in black, coral, off white, beige and brown.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pumps

Erica — Thu, 05 May 2011 12:00:34 +0000

Looks like many celebrities are going gaga over this Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pump! I certainly can’t blame them as this pump goes great with skinny jeans and your party dress. I love Reese Witherspoon in these pumps! She looks ultra chic with her black coat and navy dress! Very European and very stylish, I must say. Who do you think wore the pump best? If you don’t want to be set back $750, we have a pretty nice steal for you!

Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pumps

In some ways I actually like this Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pump better than the Jimmy Choos! First off, the pump offers that elegant invisible platform and it also comes in a really pretty platinum version that has a hint of sparkle to it (as well as ivory satin). Plus at $169.95, I definitely would give this pump a try!

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Aston Banded High Heel Sandals

Velicia Hill — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:00:17 +0000

Two things a girl like me needs in her life: an Aston Martin and these fly a$$ “Aston” heels by Jimmy Choo! And all would be right in the world. Sadly, I haven’t saved over a $100k for said car ($99,999 to go) and these heels are sold out! So what’s a high heel loving, shopaholic, wanna-be-fly-all-the-time girl to do, in the interim about these heels?

A. Marinelli “Saute” Sandals

You go in search of a designer knockoff, of course! And look what A. Marinelli has cooked up. Or should I say, sautéed. His Saute sandal (available in natural and black) is missing the beautiful patent leather 5 inch heel; nor does it have the same nude color. But whether grilled, roasted or baked, for only $100 bucks you settle and keep saving your money for whatever luxury car and other designer heels you wish for.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Connor Low Wedge Sandals

Erica — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:00:24 +0000

Jimmy Choo always makes an amazing shoe even if it is a low wedge! Claudia Schiffer is definitely rockin’ these Jimmy Choo sandals with a great pair of flared jeans. You can also wear these with a pair of shorts or even an adorable sundress. But I know some of us don’t want to spend $595 on a pair of sandals, so I really think you’re going to like our steal find!

Steve Madden “SHEILAA” Wedge Sandals

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “SMFREESHIP” to get free shipping on your order!

The Steve Madden version called “SHEILAA” looks nearly identical to the Jimmy Choo. Just a few modifications on the color and that’s really it! Also, this version comes in black and red, too! Priced at $69.95 I think you will really enjoy this one!

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Phyllis Espadrille Slides

Erica — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 15:00:31 +0000

There’s nothing like having a nude pair of shoes to slide into during the warmer times of the year! It’s such a great color especially when it comes in patent and the color is so versatile it can go with TONS of stuff! So, you can see why these Jimmy Choo Phyllis Espadrille Slides are absolutely noteworthy to be featured! I can’t wait to have my ice cold drink next to the pool while admiring my feet with these bad boys on! Yet, retailing at $375 this might break the bank for some, so here is a more affordable option…

Steve Madden “GENISIS” Espadrilles

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “SMFREESHIP” to get free shipping on your order!

This Steve Madden version has a slightly thicker band and a higher platform than the Jimmy Choo version, which I’m sure not everyone will complain about! And the price isn’t too bad either! Available in nude, black and red patent.
