More leopard! Are you sick of it yet? Well, I’m not, so you have to stick it out with me I’m afraid. I mean, how am I supposed to get fed up with this trend when designers like Brian Atwood keep making such fab shoes all covered up in this wild animal print? I love, love, love these leopard booties. But a) they’re sold out everywhere and b) I wouldn’t be able to afford them even if they weren’t. Le sigh!

In Selena Gomez’ Closet – ASOS Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress

by Irina on December 9, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 9, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I’m always happy to see celebrities wearing accessible fashion, especially when they’re hitting the red carpet. Selena Gomez did just that by opting for a Balmain-ish ASOS black frock ($146.54) which she paired with a pair of steep Giuseppe Zanotti chiffon sandals ($850) at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert a few days ago. Well, you can’t expect a celeb going budget fashion head-to-toe I guess.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Supra Fifre Thigh-high Boots

by Irina on November 18, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 18, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Thigh-high boots are dangerous territory because they can easily look…well, wrong. Think cheap-y and stripperish! But let us not judge too hasty here because over-the-knee boots can also look super hot and fabulous. Case in point? These Christian Louboutin OTK boots. The black suede tones down the Pretty Woman resemblance factor by quite a bit while the lacing detail gives them a vintage Victorian feel. These are thigh-high boots done right, but oh, $1.995 for a pair? I think I’ll have to pass this time!

Jeffrey Campbell “Battalion” Over-the-knee Boots

So you want Louboutin style but for less – a lot less – right? Well, worry not, Jeffrey Campbell has got you covered. Don’t be fooled though, the “Battalion” boots are still pretty pricey at $370, but you do get to save a neat $1.625 in comparison to the real deal.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E20108 Colorblock Wedge Sandals

by Irina on April 22, 2012

You gotta admire Giuseppe Zanotti for his fearless approach to designing shoes. Take these colorful colorblock wedge sandals for instance. These look like they belong into a kid’s room rather than on the feet of a grown woman and even though I can’t think of too many outfit options to pair these with it’s still a very fun-looking shoe and probably would work well with a monochrome look at an event where drinking alcohol excessively is a socially accepted pastime (e.g. a Bachelorette party). But would I ever spend $695 for a pair of designer heels that look like LEGO? Nope.

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “GJSHIP60” to get free shipping on your $60+ order!

Just because your budget won’t allow for you to splurge on avantgarde designer shoes doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your shoes once in a while. Luckily, online shops like GoJane stock a lot of steal-worthy designer shoe look-a-likes that will give you the same look without the heavy price tag. Look at these colorful stunners for example! Now they don’t come in the same color combos as the Zanottis but will still give you the same colorblock effect.

Gianni Bini “Spikey” Slingback Sandals

Yes, can you believe it? This pair by Gianni Bini has exactly the same level of edginess and comes in an assortment of colors. How gorgeous are they? And the price is great, too, so if you absolutely love them you can buy one in black and another in eye-popping teal! They will just look fantastic with your new denim sundress. For the finishing touch, pick up one more rocker-inspired accessory, like a studded clutch or necklace, and you’ll be all set to find your garage-band king.
