Colorblocking is on the rise again with these multiple toned Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Platforms. Sold out at $945, these beauties serve as a perfect transition piece and can be worn almost all year round, especially in warmer regions. The featured colors are so mundane; however they are incorporated in a bold manner. The subtle beauty exhibited from these pumps resonates with the audience, but the unjustifiable price tag is a major drawback, hence, the amazing alternative below!

Sergio Zelcer “Weck” Open-Toe Slingback Pumps

Sergio Zelcer is leaving quite the impression on me with his version of the colorblocked pump. Ultimately, his version is not only budget-friendly but it is just as beautiful as the Louboutins pictured above. These “Weck” slingbacks also have a deep red sole if you truly want to immerse yourself in the classic Louboutin look. Overall, you get the designer signature style without spending part of your life savings account.

Nude platform sandals are essential for summer, and these by Miu Miu are my dream pair. You can wear them with absolutely anything in your summer wardrobe and they’ll make your legs look like they go on forever. The details on this design are pretty fantastic, they strike a nice blend of casual and sophistication by mixing patent leather with an espadrille-inspired platform. Need to add these to your collection but sighing at the price? Keep scrolling down for one our best steals yet!

Mossimo “Petra” Patent Heeled Sandals

This wonderful pair by Mossimo are incredibly affordable and have the same designer look as the style above. Just think of how they’ll look with your new sundress, a cute straw clutch and a great statement necklace. Or perhaps with some white cropped pants and a sheer caftan-style top? These platform sandals are so versatile; they’ll be your go-to pair all season long to add a dash of instant glamour to your summer wardrobe. Be sure to snag them in black as well!

Never was there a more comfortable heel for those of us who rarely wear flats. This design by Burberry has all the sophistication and allure of stilettos but thanks to the high platform and ankle straps, the stairs in your office building will be less daunting. This pair will get you so much mileage because you’ll be able to wear them with all of your wide leg pants and trousers! Simply add a signature black tote with gold hardware and you’ll be all set. The price is a bit steep though, so if you rather not spend your whole shoe budget on them, we can help with an amazing steal below!

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

How amazing is this pair by Steve Madden for only a fraction of the price? They have the same details, with just a few modifications: silver vs. gold hardware and a slightly shorter heel. But other than that they are almost identical! Upon closer look, I think a pencil skirt and a white blouse would look fantastic with these. Finish the outfit with a handbag similar to Stella McCartney’s Falabella, and keep the rest of your accessories modern and minimal: perhaps add a set of silver bangles and that’s it. More great news? They are also available in cognac and white leather.

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 7, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I’m completely fascinated by Christian Louboutin‘s mind. I’m starting to understand him… I think. This red calf hair pump named Big Lips, believe it or not, I get why he named it this. Just look at it. Does it not remind you of a mouth completely lacquered in red lipstick? Oh well, great minds think alike! ;-) Too bad not all wallets are created equal. Because at $995 this very kissable little heel has been snatched up by all those big lip bandits out there!

I used to associate cap-toe shoes with old ladies and always found them to be aging. However, lately I’ve seen quite a few outstanding examples which I wouldn’t mind wearing myself. Case in point: these simple black pointed pumps with a gold cap-toe by Yves Saint Laurent. That’s sophistication and elegance unified! It’s quite the understated shoe with just the right amount of extravagance! And a hefty price tag, of course! It is YSL after all.
