Is it just me, or are there suddenly scores of wonderful wedges coming out of the woodwork? Like these swoontastic Crisscross Wedge Sandals from Givenchy? Don’t they look like they were designed especially for It girl Leigh Lezark?

BCBGeneration “Gonzalo” Wedge Sandals
I’ve got to admit, put “Givenchy” before anything, and I’m pretty much in love. But as much as I wish those Crisscross Wedge Sandals were on my feet, at a whopping $1.174.50, I’ve already put that little fantasy to bed. Thankfully, the “Gonzalo” Wedge Sandals by BCBGeneration run a very close second. And they look extraordinarily comfy. Available in black lycra mesh, silver ash, and buttermilk.

How kickass are these shiny multi strap wedges by Givenchy? When I first saw the footwear collection for the S/S 2010 collection I was unsure if fast fashion chains would answer the call by replicating these extreme almost fetish-style shoes. But surprisingly a lot of them did and we’ve had several of the Givenchy shoes available for those on a lighter shoe shopping budget.

Isn’t it amazing how you can get Givenchy style for 1/10 of the originals’ price? Thanks to Jessica Simpson you can wow the crowds by opting for these almost identical Givenchy look-a-likes. Totally amazed by this shoe line.

A good friend of mine recently bought a Mulberry Bayswater (a gift to herself on her birthday) and for a week straight everyone oohed and ahhed over it at the office. It is a spectacular bag, to be sure, but I think this new Mulberry takes the cake: the Alexa – a slouchier, more casual version of the Bayswater named after British style export Alexa Chung who is a true devotee of the Mulberry brand. If you haven’t heard tell of this bag yet, you will. Speculated to be the “It” bag of the moment, the Alexa sold out instantaneously on NET-A-PORTER after being added last week. Restocks are supposed to follow soon, but even still, this beautiful creation is way out of my sad little budget.

Topshop Buckle Strap Satchel
UPDATE (03/31/2010): Check out this amazing Alexa knockoff bag by Topshop. It does miss the cute twist lock, but the overall look is still super similar. A little pricey at $170, but only about 1/10 of the original.

New Look Twist Lock Satchel
Now admittedly the knock-off potential isn’t immediately obvious here, but look closer. UK retailer, New Look, has created what is clearly their take on the Mulberry Alexa – Alexa’s younger sister, if you will. We’re loving the twist-lock and the oversized buckles. This tan/gingerbread color is a great match for the bag pictured above, but if you check out New Look’s site you’ll see that the other colors offered (brown, ecru and black) very clearly reference the Alexa; and the price is truly fantastic!

It’s always hit and miss for me when it comes to Jimmy Choo, but if I like one of their styles chances are I really like it a lot. The “Marble” mesh bootie is the puritan sister of “Quinze” which is basically the same shoe only adorned with embellishments. And while I do have a soft spot for mesh booties, I don’t see myself shelling out almost $900 for a pair anytime soon.

Finally! I officially have found the perfect nude pump! Are you surprised it is by the man of our shoe dreams, Monsieur Christian Louboutin? I am not. The strange thing is that I’ve been aware of the Banana pumps for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until today before I realized they are the perfect shape. And don’t get me started on the delicious patent nude color. You know you’ve found your perfect shoe when there isn’t one single thing you’d want to change about them… Wait! Oops, sorry, actually there are TWO things I’d change about these darlings here: a) the availability (they’re sold out) and b) the price ($800 isn’t exactly my kind of shoe shopping budget).

ALDO “Withey” Peep-toe Pumps
If Louboutins are out of your price range as well, opt for these equally amazing ALDO pumps instead. You might recognize these from our recent Nude Shoes Under $100 post. The only difference is the hidden platform; otheriwse it’s all there: the delicious nude patent leather, the perfectly shaped arch, the sky-high stiletto heel… and they’re only $80, not $800. Also available in black patent.

Liliana “Cord” Platform Pumps
UPDATE (08/25/2010): Woot woot! MsHeel.com just received a brand new shipment of the super popular Liliana “Cord” pumps. These nude pumps sold out in less than 3 days last time, so you better hurry & order ASAP. Use our exclusive coupon code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 10% OFF!
In case you’re not feeling like spending $80 on shoes right now, but still crave a new pair of heels, consider these gorgeous nude pumps by Liliana. They look a lot like the ALDO version, just a tad darker, and again have a hidden platform. I absolutely love these – especially the killer price of $28.95! New shoes for under $30, how great is that? Even less ($26.05 to be exact) if you use the coupon code above. You better be quick to order because these will go fast!

I often don’t get why so many people are obsessed with Sienna Miller‘s style, but occasionally I find myself adoring one or two of her outfits. Last year Sienna attended the New York premiere of “The September Issue” in a baby blue Thakoon strapless mini dress which she paired with her favorite pair of sunglasses, gold Jimmy Choo heels and a gunmetal Bottega Veneta box clutch. No headbands or anything you’d call boho chic. Just pure sexiness! I LOVE when celebrities mix things up a little and stray away from their signature style!

Everyone here at InTheirCloset is a fan of shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard. And why wouldn’t we? As shoe fanatics we value the uniqueness and thought that reflect in Skovgaard’s designs. What I also like about her shoes is the price point. Most of her shoes retail for $400-$600 and that’s rather the low point for designer shoes these days. Of course for most of us even a medium priced Skoovgard shoe on sale for 50% can be too expensive.

Topshop has also a very similar style; again no ragged sole. They’re a little bit steep at $190 considering the sale price of the Skovgaards is only $50 away, but if you prefer the classic design you might find yourself liking these more.

So we received quite a few reader requests to find a knock-off of the uber-glam Bridget strass-adorned lace booties by the legendary Christian Louboutin. These were designed by Monsieur Louboutin for Marchesa’s ethereal Spring 2010 collection and perfectly reflected the brand’s affinity for feminine details like lace and embellishments. Month after month passed by and no knock-offs were in sight. I began to think that copycats à la Madden & Campbell shy away from this particular style because of the complicity of this shoe – the fragile strass & the delicate lace – details that’ll look incredibly tacky and wrong if done cheaply. But – lo and behold! Today was one of those rare lucky days…

Imagine my utter excitement when I spied these “Tano” sandals by Dollhouse yesterday! This knock-off is probably as good as it gets. Yes, they don’t have strass on the heel, but what do you expect from a $60 shoe? I think they look absolutely fabulous and they’re super affordable, on top of it. Gotta order these ASAP before you guys snap them all away. Available in gold, black and red. Order fast, I really don’t think these darlings will stay too long on the website once people catch wind of these Louboutins 4 less.

Ever since Kristen Stewart donned this black leather bustier dress by Elizabeth & James at a promotinal event in Madrid sometime last year I always wanted and hoped to find a steal version because I really, really liked the dress; the mix of sheer and leather, the side pockets (I love things that have pockets!), pretty much everything about it was enticing for me. But $545? Like seriously? Not gonna happen.

Hmmm. This Lam looks a little like a very popular Lou I have been coveting for several seasons now. Love the corset-like lacing and summery cork heel. And we all know there is nothing sexier than a sandal that ties around the ankle. But what I don’t love: $790 for this pair? Um, no, thank you, Derek Lam.
