Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps

by Roseanne on January 29, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 29, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Prada is known for redefining what fashion truly is by following the theme of subtle luxury. Miu Miu, from the Prada fashion house, merely follows the same concept but with an avant garde flair. I found that the entire Miu Miu Fall collection was very versatile and most importantly super wearable. The Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps exhibit an architectural sculpted heel which is bold yet minimalistic, therefore making it wearable for every occasion. I love the way Taylor Swift wore these pumps; it’s classy yet modern and the red lip adds a touch of boldness. Who do you think wore Miu Miu best?

Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps

For one who is looking to indulge in the flared heel style, these Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps are a remarkable look-a-like. These are chicly refined, and are essentially for any woman’s taste. It is very hard to distinguish the difference between these and the pumps by Miu Miu. Even by looking at the miniscule details, for one I can’t tell the difference. Aside from flaunting a similar style, these are much more affordable. Available in black or light grey suede.

Like the look-a-like above, these KG by Kurt Geiger “Caggie” Peep-toe Pumps also follow a similar concept. As a more affordable alternative, these are definitely less costly than the Miu Miu pumps as well as the Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps above. Available in black suede or nude leather.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Glitter and Suede Peep-toe Ankle Boots

by Juliana on January 18, 2012

Talk about statement shoes! These sparkly Miu Miu peep-toe booties are a definite conversation starter with their fun and flirty disco vibe. The lovely suede cross-straps make them look vintage and the shape of the glittered heel invites the wearer to feel whimsical yet confident with every step. Due to popular demand by celebrities and trend-setters everywhere, this pair sold out almost immediately upon debut. But not to worry, you can still be the Dancing Queen at the party by wearing the amazing steal version below.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Bow Mary Jane Pumps

by Roseanne on December 28, 2011

Ms. Miuccia is really making a statement with the flared heel and it seems that this sculpted design is a hit with many celebrities. Similar to a previous post on the Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps, these Miu Miu Bow Mary Jane Pumps follow a very similar design with the addition of the bow and the mary jane strap. I actually really like these, mainly because of the feminine yet edgy kind of look. I definitely wouldn’t mind owning a pair, but that would mean living in the dark with no heat or water. In my case, check out a more affordable look-a-like below.

Lori’s “Bamma” Bow Platform Pumps

While the Lori’s “Bamma” Bow Platform Pumps aren’t Miu Miu, if you’re looking for a look-a-like then you have found it. And the best part is that for $99.99 you can have spot-on Miu Miu look. There is only a minor difference, and that would be the added sheen, but nonetheless these are true showstoppers. At a first glance, I wasn’t really into the beige color but it grew on me. Personally, I really like the plum purple; there’s just a certain something to it that I can’t really pinpoint.
