Not that it’s ever been much of a secret, but today I’ll come out of the closet and out myself as a big Olivia Palermo fangirl. There, I said it! Now I usually don’t fall for socialite fashion, but Olivia is way too talented in the style department to be ignored due to her status of being-famous-for-being-famous. Not quite sure if she actually does anything productive besides attending what seems an endless string of fashion events and cocktail parties and, of course, strutting the streets of New York looking ultra busy while talking into her cell phone, but she sure looks impeccably styled doing so, wouldn’t you agree? My latest Olivia obsession is this classic yet fashion foward outfit which she wore a few weeks ago – love it head-to-toe! Especially the printed Paige Denim skinny jeans and the gorgeous flower ring by LeiVanKash. It might be the Olivia factor that makes it oh-so extra desirable, but I’d love to wear each and every single item she wore here and try my best Olivia impersonation.

I’m not sure how your feet will feel after walking around in these L.A.M.B. stilts for a few hours, but I can tell you how amazing your legs and feet will look in these! A little stripperish for my taste, yet if that’s your thing, no judgement! Not sure if you want to spend $325 on a pair of shoes? We’ve got an amazing deal for you!

Type Z “Calah” Platform Sandals

I actually like this shoe better! I like the heel and I like the fact that the platform isn’t so terribly high. This Type Z shoe definitely gets my vote! Priced at $125 you can keep your wallet and your feet from not hurting as much.

I think Gwen Stefani and Dita Von Teese are the only ladies who can wear crimson red lips while grocery shopping and not look overdressed while doing so. I am always super smitten with Gwen’s street style. Here she’s wearing black open toe ankle boots from her upcoming L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 collection, but since these won’t be available for purchase for a few more months I decided to do a look 4 less on Gwen’s casual yet super stylish outfit.

I love it when a celebrity designer actually wears her own line! Gwen Stefani and Kim Kardashian are definitely rockin’ the L.A.M.B. Zea Open-toe Bootie! Both colors are stunning and look amazing with a pair of straight leg jeans. Such a nice way to make any casual look glamorous with these stylish booties! Priced at $355 and already sold out, we’ll give you the scoop on a great steal!

Liliana Legado-13 Sandals

Liliana‘s Legado-13 Sandals is such a nice copycat of the L.A.M.B. Zea Open-toe Bootie! At a price of $37.95 and available in black, tan and taupe you can definitely achieve the same Hot Hollywood look.

First things first: I’m so sorry for not having posted over the weekend, but I’ve been out of town for the weekend because of my cousin’s wedding, so that’s my lame excuse, OK? Anyway, I am desperately looking for the perfect hybrid between a sandal and a bootie to wear on chilly summer nights. The “Rasta” cutout bootie/sandal by L.A.M.B. looks promising, but the $350 price is a big turn-off.

JustFabulous “Marcelle” T-Strap Sandals

UPDATE (02/08/2011): Newly established footwear brand JustFabulous decided to start their collection by knocking off the L.A.M.B. heels.

BCBGeneration “Jules” T-Strap Sandals

UPDATE (06/23/2010): I didn’t expect to find any more knockoffs of the L.A.M.B. heels above, but BCBGeneration just came out with a very inspired-by version. These are available in black, tan & pewter.

($44.99, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at 6pm.

Bebe “Adele” Snake Trimmed Booties

UPDATE (07/31/2009): Just found another great and affordable L.A.M.B. look-a-like by Bebe called “Adele”.

Bebe’s “Adele” bootie is not as spot-on as the Steve Madden version, but you can still see where they draw their inspiration from. I much prefer the heel of this knockoff version though, so grab them while you can.

Steve Madden “PERSIS” Open Toe Booties

You can always count on Steve Madden to deliver some great L.A.M.B. knockoffs just like this one. The heels is slightly different, but everything else looks pretty much the same.

Mary may have had a little lamb, but Gwen Stefani has hotter shoes! These “Quinlan” boots by L.A.M.B. are killer (and by “killer” I mean to die for)! You get one part heel and one part bootie. Which adds up to one hot a$$ shoe! By the way, I’m digging the detailed artwork on the bottom of the heel. At almost $300, they won’t necessarily break the bank, but will definitely at least put a lil’ dent in your wallet.

($294.99, Heels.com)

P.S.: Also available at Zappos.

Liliana Sperry-1 Platform Sandals

Leave it to Liliana to knock this heel off to perfection! Sperry-1 has almost identical details and yet for all my fellow, the-higher-the-better, heel lovers out there, you get a few extra inches of heel height! I’m seeing these being worn with shorts or a mini dress to show off your legs. Available in black, tan or gray. So at less than $40, oh go ahead, buy a pair in every color!

You might have noticed that the posting frequency went down this week and that’s due to some much needed site maintenance and I’m also busy getting a few offline things done in order to be able to keep running this blog and providing you with the latest designer dupes in town. Today’s post is about these heeled babies by L.A.M.B. (RRP: $275). Pretty kickass, right? The price? Not quite as pleasant.

($150, Zappos)

P.S.: Also available at Endless, Heels.com, DJPremium & Bloomingdale’s.

Type Z “Jetsetter” Sandals

I do miss the silver standout heel, but these knockoffs by Type Z are still great substitutes if you want to save some cash. Available in black & brown.

I don’t know about you guys but I have an unhealthy obsession with caged sandals of all kinds. I picture them being worn with colorful tights or with just bare foot/leg peeking through and I think both looks are equally sexy. Because of the versatility of this kind of shoe, it can and will easily carry you through all four seasons. Leave it to Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B. to design one of the more rock-chic versions I’ve seen. I love the back zipper too! Still readily available at many online retailers, but quite pricey at $329; you make the call.

Charlotte Russe Side Buckle Platform Sandals

I have to confess something. I’ve never actually purchased a pair of Charlotte Russe heels, despite the fact that we’ve featured many of them here. These Side Buckle Platform Sandals might just put me over the edge, though. They also come in a super cute light gray color and the pièce de résistance: they have the back zipper! At only $40 I think these may just be a must have. Available in black and light grey.

True confession: I have been sweatin’ these insanely hot L.A.M.B. platforms for a while. They meet all the V-requisites: part gladiatress, part S&M mistress; kind of sexy but kind of scary; superhigh and superfly—I don’t think superkawaii can apply because these babies have bad girl written all over them. That Gwen, she can make music, babies, and a killer pair of shoes—this pair is Zantastic!

Type Z “Cyke” Platform Sandals

UPDATE (09/08/2010): Although these platform sandals have a few differences (cork platform, red stitching), it’s still more than clear where Type Z got their inspiration from for these. Available in black or brown.

Michael Antonio “Teeter” Platform Sandals

As much as I worship the L.A.M.B. Zan, three bills is a bit steep for an Imelda-in-the-making like me. At the rate I buy shoes, that would quickly add up to $1,500 or so every couple months. And that’s a reality I’m not prepared to deal with at this point. A better reality is the “Teeter” by Michael Antonio. All the style of the Zan, for a whopping $68. You know what that means, don’t you? That’s $236 left for…you guessed it, honey…more shoes.
