Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Cleta Ankle Strap Wedges

Irina — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 14:00:36 +0000

One of the few shoe styles I was really & desperately obsessed with this year was this stunning blue and gold ankle strap wedge by Sergio Rossi. Now I normally don’t pay that much attention on Sergio Rossi’s line, but this heel somehow caught my eye and kept fascinating me. But as soon as I laid my eyes on the whopping $1.435 price tag it has become pretty clear that owning these beauties will have to stay a dream forever.

Ivanka Trump “Bindy” Ankle Strap Wedge Sandals

While the color and the used materials differ, it’s pretty obvious that the design of these Ivanka Trump wedge sandals was taken from Sergio Rossi’s Cleta heels. I would’ve loved if there was a blue/gold version of these since the Trumps cost less than 10% of the originals, but the natural color is lovely as well. Also available in black and silver.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Double Strap Platform Sandals

Irina — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:00:56 +0000

Sergio Rossi S/S 2011 collection is having a total fan in me. And while the below pictured double strap platform is from a past season (I think it’s S/S 2010), I like this one a lot as well. The super thin stiletto heel would be tricky to handle, but the elongated, sexy look would be more than worth it. Don’t fall for this heel quite yet though because as I already said it’s from a past season and hence would be very hard to get hold of. But fear not, dear heel-lover, we have a more than great alternative below.

Steve Madden “LAIDIE” Platform Sandals

UPDATE (04/24/2011): A big thank you to reader Gwen who reminded us of this fab Sergio Rossi look-a-like by Steve Madden.

Enzo Angiolini “Torrey” Platform Sandals

Now this doesn’t happen very often, but in this case I actually prefer the steal version byEnzo Angiolini. Not only is the price tag much easier to swallow, but I am also in total awe of the blue suede version of this platform shoe. It is so vibrant that it’ll stand out immediately whenever you’ll enter a room! L.O.V.E.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Powder Suede Cachet Vague Sandals With Crystals

Erica — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:00:03 +0000

I’m all about embellishments and this is superb! Sergio Rossi‘s Powder Suede Cachet Vague Sandal with Crystals is the perfect balance of neutral and glitz. I’m loving the scalloped architecture on this bedazzled pump as well! Looks great with any printed or solid dress! I really like how Anna Kendrick is rocking this fab shoe. But, if you’re not in love with the price, below is a second choice.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Anne Hathaway in Antonio Berardi & Sergio Rossi

Irina — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 17:00:37 +0000

I haven’t seen Anne Hathaway on the red carpet for a while, but when she attended the Love & Other Drugs premiere at the AFI Fest 2010 Anne made quite the comeback in a white lace-panelled Antonio Berardi pencil dress which she paired with nude patent Sergio Rossi slingback pumps. What I also loved was her flawless hair & make-up. Big kudos to her stylist(s)! Want to don the same outfit on a budget? See our wallet-friendly take on Anne’s knockout look below.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Cachet Peep-toe Suede Slingback Pumps

Vahni — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 18:30:25 +0000

Is there anything more feminine than a pretty pink heel? The first time I ever encountered a pink heel, it was on a Barbie—well, before she was shod in Louboutins, of course—and since Barbie is the ultimate girlie girl, I think the answer is most definitely YES! These pink suede Sergio Rossi peep-toes indulge the grown-up Barbie girl in all of us, don’t they?

Bebe Neve Snakeskin Platform Heels

Do the Sergio Rossi Cachet Peep-toe Suede Slingback Pumps have your heart skipping a beat? They certainly had that effect on me. And at $695, yeah, well, my heart felt that too. But it’s all moot since these lovelies are gone, baby, gone. Instead, feast your eyes on these Neve Snakeskin Platform Heels by Bebe. They’re available in fuchsia, blue suede, or black leather. Ken not included.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Lea Michele in Erdem

Irina — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 12:00:05 +0000

Lea Michele is rather new to the red carpet style game, but she’s already behaving like a pro. I love how she always gives us her megawatt smile. It makes everything look better on her, don’t you agree? Yesterday she attended the second season premiere of Glee wearing a longsleeve blue lace dress by Erdem with black satin Sergio Rossi slingbacks and luscious raspberry red lips. I really like Lea’s playful, girly look, so I decided to recreate it for all you frugal fashionistas and Lea Michele style stalkers. Enjoy!

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Zip Back Sandals

Irina — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:30:14 +0000

If you’re looking for a sexy pair of black high heels, these Sergio Rossi zip back sandals might be what you’re looking for. The criss cross straps add interest while the zipper that goes all the way down to the heel will grant you some “Ooooh!” and “Aaaah!” moments from fellow shoe aficionados.

Jessica Simpson “Deluth” Pumps

Every second shoe style from Jessica Simpson‘s shoe line is basically a knockoff. The “Deluth” pump is no exception. The heel might be thicker, but other than that they look almost like the Sergio Rossi back zip sandals.

Mossimo Vanya Strappy Pump

I found these knockoffs by Mossimo via The Look 4 Less (a great budget fashion blog). They miss the back zipper detail and the heel is pretty chunky, but they are a good Sergio Rossi alternative if you’re on a tight shoe budget.

Oli Zip Back Crossover Sandals

All European fashionistas (especially my British readers) can now also enjoy a great deal by opting for these sweet Sergio Rossi knockoffs from Oli. Available in either black or pale pink for £25.

Style Berry Cross Strap Sandals

UPDATE: I have just found another pair of Sergio Rossi knockoffs. These here retail for $60 and also come in black, but I really love them in beige actually. They do have the zipper detail on the back, but like with all the other knockoffs it’s not going down the heel unfortunately. They are still a great alternative and affordable, too.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Dakota Woven Booties

Celine — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:00:35 +0000

It’s been about a year but I am now fully committed to the open-toe bootie look. I think it’s the versatility that gets me – they look equally as great with a skirt or dress as they do with pants. These Sergio Rossi Dakota booties are the perfect new addition to the trend. The basket-weave and pale wooden heel scream spring (get here, already!) but the dark leather glides you effortlessly into fall. I think these hot booties would look awesome with bare legs but also beautiful with colored tights. Unfortunately with a hefty price tag of $366 (sale price!) those outfit ideas are merely a day-dream.

Michael Antonio “Matteo” Woven Ankle Boots

UPDATE (02/28/2010): Just happened to stumble upon these Sergio Rossi inspired booties by Michael Antonio. Me likey! Available in black, tan, beige & turquoise.

Boutique 9 “Yashi” Huarache Pumps

I was psyched when I happened upon these Boutique 9 heels. While slightly more of a pump than a bootie, these shoes totally embody the spirit of the Sergio Rossis. Some of you may actually also prefer the black heel to the tan of the originals. Available in both tan and black, I picture these worn with a full skirt and a brightly-colored printed top.

Boutique 9 “Yashi” Huarache Pumps
($115.46, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at Shoe Metro & 6pm.

N.Y.L.A. “Writhe” Huarache Pumps

For those of you that liked the deep brown color of the originals but not the price, this version by N.Y.L.A. might be perfect for you. These booties are slightly more rugged than the Dakotas but they also are considerably cheaper and still have that great basket-weave look. With a myriad of colors to choose from, you can’t go wrong.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi “Narrow” Zip Sandals

Irina — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:00:55 +0000

These sandals by Sergio Rossi are certainly chic and all, but to be honest, I wouldn’t shell out $670 for them even if I had that kind of shopping budget. Would you? If for some reason however I would stumble upon a great inspired-by pair, then why not?

P.S.: Available in blue and khaki at Zappos for discounted $314.

Nine West “Maxeeme” Sandals

If you’re like me and cringe at the thought of spending so much on a pair of shoes, Nine West has a great alternative. Their Sergio Rossi knockoffs are spot-on and the only noticeable difference is the heel which is straight on the Nine West sandals. They retail for budget-friendly $68.95 and also come in dark red & dark blue.

BCBGeneration “Levona” Sandals

If you’re willing to spend a few extra bucks to get a little closer to the Sergio Rossi sandals, these zip sandals by BCBGeneration are also a great look 4 less alternative which will cost you less than 1/7 of the originals price. However, Zappos has only very limited stock on these, so you better be quick to order.
