Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Anouk Point Toe Stiletto Pumps

Juliana — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:00:23 +0000

These shoes aren’t meant for long walks, but rather, to be candy for the feet. Slick and feminine, these heels by Jimmy Choo are definitely built for style. But aren’t there times in our lives when the Wow!-factor is exactly what we crave? Okay, there are many times – and for those instances, shoes like these were made. But is the price tag worth the amount of mileage they’ll get compared to the rest of your collection? We can relate, so keep an eye out for a copycat below.

Kelsi Dagger “Karmine” Pointed Pumps

UPDATE (02/19/2012): Found another great Jimmy Choo alternative. These pointy Kelsi Dagger pumps are just as fabulous but are a lot budget-friendlier than the pricey Choos. I love the lilac suede version!

ALDO “Fravel” Stiletto Pumps

Not only do these more affordable heels by ALDO fit our show-stopping needs, but just how amazing are they in bright fuchsia and tangerine? So, if you are eager to put them on display, start by wearing them to dinner and sitting at the bar. Remember to keep the rest of your outfit simple, so all eyes will be on those amazing heels. Want to add even more allure? Pick up a lipgloss or nail polish (if you went for the black pair) in a similar shade.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals

Roseanne — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:00:32 +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.

UPDATE (02/28/2012): Found another great JC Greta alternative! These high heel sandals by Ivanka Trump will give you the same look for a little more than 1/10 of the original’s price. I especially love the rose gold color!

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 Walsh Glitter Ballerina Flats

Roseanne — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:00:14 +0000

Heels may be a great asset in a woman’s wardrobe, but flats are always a necessity. Simultaneously, flats are super comfortable and stylish. If you are yet to be convinced, then these Jimmy Choo Ballerina Flats are evidence that a truly fashionable form exists. I love the glitter ornamentation which gives a rather lavish appearance to a shoe which is generally so casual. In this case, the lavish appearance comes with a price which I can’t afford. So scroll down to check out the steal!

($539, farfetch)

P.S.: Also available at MyTheresa.

ALDO “Tamez” Glitter Flats

ALDO currently has the “Tamez” Glitter Flats on sale for $39.98! Not only are these flats almost indistinguishable from the ones by Jimmy Choo, minus a few small details, they are also available in gold and multicolor glitter. ALDO has always been a household name, and these flats are no exception.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vamp Platform Sandals

Velicia Hill — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:00:47 +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 – $750, really? OK, that won’t be happening this winter or the next; which is why the steal below will be just fine.

Nine West “Krysten” Sandals

UPDATE (02/13/2012): Although the heel of this Nine West shoe is not as elegant as on the real deal, it still very much mimics the Jimmy Choo design, doesn’t it?

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?

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.

Two Lips “Identity” Cut-Out Booties

UPDATE (05/26/2011): Here’s a gorgeous budget-friendly Jimmy Choo look-a-like by Two Lips. These cut-out booties come also in black, natural, purple, blue & rose.

Pierre Dumas “Ciao” Sandals

UPDATE (01/01/2011): Stumbled upon another budget-friendly Choo knockoff by Pierre Dumas. Available in either black or tobacco.

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.

($695, NORDSTROM)

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.
