Shoes

Now this is a total Lady Gaga kind of shoe, isn’t it? Sky-high, heelless platform wedges are EVERYWHERE now thanks to Giuseppe Zanotti who first introduced us to this kind of footwear last year. This Swarovski crystal-encrusted wedge bootie with spikes in the heel has quite the sparkly badass attitude. It certainly isn’t your go-to everyday shoe which also reflects in the steep price tag of almost $3k. If you love these Gaga-ish spikey heels but don’t have her enormous costume budget, keep on reading to see our fabulous steal find for a whole lot less.

ZiGiny “Kerry” Satin Platform Pumps

Just as gorgeous and classic as their muse, these ZiGiny pumps are the signature shoes of a confident, stylish, and very intelligent girl, especially considering the price. Of course they are an investment, but when buying timeless pieces it’s OK to spend a little more than you would on trendier items. Just imagine how often you’d wear them, I certainly have.

Which girl doesn’t dream of having a pair of Manolo Blahniks to call her own? Unfortunately, price tags of $500 and upwards keep this dream from ever coming true. But fear not there are fab yet budget-friendly Manolo look-a-likes out there. And we have found a few great alternatives for those trying to save money. If I had a multimillionaire’s budget, I would gladly spend $755 on the Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby d’Orsay pumps. They look terrific, are super feminine and would make the perfect bridal shoe. Manolo high heels are also considered to be pretty comfy, so if I could I would already have these in my closet.

Steve Madden “WARE” Pumps

UPDATE (09/14/2010): I really didn’t think I would stumble upon another knockoff of the Sedaraby, but Steve Madden apparently wanted to prove me wrong. His Sedaraby inspired pumps come in silver and gold leather as well as black satin.

RSVP “Taran” D’Orsay Pumps

If you want a shoe in the identical style as shown above for a fraction of the price, RSVP has a great and budget-friendly alternative. Except for the heel, they look pretty much the same to me. And being priced at under $30 (sale price!) they are quite a steal, too. Also available in 5 other colors.

Dyeables “Onyx” D’Orsay Pumps

These Manolo Blahnik look-a-likes by Dyeables are my personal favorites. They are a little more expensive than RSVP’s “Taran”, but overall I’d say you’ll get better quality. The upper material is a beautiful silk satin and the heel is 3″ only. Score!

Pelle Moda “Nemo” Pumps

These d’Orsay pumps by Pelle Moda are also great Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby knockoffs. The heel on there is again slightly different, but otherwise the shoes look practically identical. They also happen to be the most expensive knockoffs retailing for around $140 a pair. Available in silver, black, bronze, platinum and pewter.

There is something flirty yet grounded about wearing peep toe booties with a miniskirt. It somehow instantly makes anything short seem a little more sophisticated. And while you may have been told that ankle boots aren’t for everyone, they definitely can be if you wear them with opaque tights. Plus, the look is perfect for fall. Take this fabulous blue pair by Giuseppe Zanotti, they are such attention magnets and surprisingly a lot more versatile than you’d think. Wear them with blue skinny jeans and a sheer button down blouse for an artsy monochromatic look or with a little black dress and all your pearls for a spin on Audrey Hepburn’s iconic style. Either way, this pair can’t help but steal the show. And it gets better… we found a nearly identical version that costs way less and isn’t sold out.
