OK… Wow! There really aren’t enough words in the dictionary to fully describe the mouth-wide-open expression I have on my face right now. Therefore I’ll go baseline and keep this simple: shut the front door – these Christian Louboutin heels are hot as hell!

Studio TMLS “Diamante” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (12/20/2011): And here’s another Daffodile knockoff! This one’s by Studio TMLS and I’m pretty sure this is basically just a rebranded version of the Topshop “SULTRY” pumps or the other way round.

Topshop “SULTRY” Snake Effect Platform Court Shoes

This “Sultry” pump by Topshop is barely registering the same eye-popping effects, but if you’re just dying to get your hands on a copy of the Louboutin Daffodile, then go ahead and drop a mere $180.

Steve Madden “VIKTOREE” Platform Pumps

Well, well, well. Leave it to Mr. Madden to give us a great knock-off with a twist. For what I’m sure is less than a quarter of the unknown (translation: if you gotta ask, you can’t afford it) price. At only $129.95, you can score this “VIKTOREE” buckle platform in a variety of colors: purple, black and blush suede as well as silver/lace. Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Daffodile Platform Pumps

by Irina on December 20, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 20, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

So let me be honest with you. At first, I kind of hated Christian Louboutin‘s Daffodile pumps. They looked too stripperish, too high, just totally OTT. However, the more I saw these extreme platform pumps being flaunted by celebs on and off the red carpet the more I started to like them. Not sure what changed my mind about these… maybe the extra few inches gained by wearing these sky-high beauties? I’m not sure, but I do know that I certainly don’t like the $995 price tag attached to these designer heels.

ATTENTION serious shoe lovers & collectors: if you crave heels that only a few, the proud and the rich can afford (Mariah Carey loves these heels), then boy do we have a heel for you! Swarovski crystals adorn this ultra-feminine, show-stopping heel by Gianmarco Lorenzi. Totally a red carpet heel, for those whose bank accounts isn’t in the “red” either… WOW, $2300! I cannot even begin to tell you how many bills that would pay in my house!

Zigi NY Black Label “Sparkler” Crystal Heels

UPDATE (06/25/2011): Just discovered that Heels.com now has the Sparkler heels stocked in a beautiful rosegold color. Don’t they look absolutely amazing? I love.

But luckily for you, I love to shop and shop I did, for a copy of this heel. And to my surprise, Zigi NY‘s new Black Label worked their magic on re-creating the Lorenzi heel – for a whole lot less. OMG, I’m speechless! All the details are there: the crystals, the ankle-strap, and even the open crystal filled platform. This steal is so close to the real deal that the only detectable difference is a couple thousand dollars! Prepare to set off fireworks when wearing these Sparkler heels! Perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Crystal Versailles Bow Satin Pumps

by Roseanne on December 19, 2011

The Valentino “Crystal Versailles” Bow Satin Pumps definitely have a wow factor. They feature a bow across the vamp which is super glam and feminine and I adore the blush satin. With New Year’s coming around the corner, I think these would definitely spice up any ensemble. I love everything about these pumps, from the embellishments to the bow; these are must for shoe lovers. Plus, the towering heel makes my heart melt. If only I had $1.195. But without a doubt, these pumps have made my fantasy wish list.

ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps

For a more realistic option, the ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps are pretty much spot-on with the design. When I first saw these, I had scroll back up to Valentino pumps to make sure that they weren’t the same shoe. From the embellishments, coloring, and bow detailing, these pumps mirror the ones by Valentino. This steal is a fantastic budget-conscious version at $139.99.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf

With this colder climate it’s safe to say that scarves are becoming an essential part of my wardrobe. Scarves can really add definition to any ensemble and are a staple piece on one of those “nothing to wear” days. This Burberry Icon Check Cashmere Scarf maintains a signature style with super soft cashmere, check print, and delicate fringe. It is the ultimate exemplar of how to liven an achromatic outfit, or just a brilliant way to stay warm this season.
