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.

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, but only affordable to those whose bank accounts isn’t in the “red” though. $2.300! I cannot even begin to tell you how many bills that would pay in my house!

UPDATE (12/19/2011): And here’s another great Gianmarco Lorenzi look-a-like by Pleaser for less than half the price of the Zigi version. These would make a great pair of sparkling heels for NYE, don’t you agree?

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 $129.95.

Real vs. Steal – Bionda Castana Florence Wrap Strap Ankle Boots

by Irina on December 18, 2011

Bionda Castana may not be a household name yet, but judging from their latest shoe collections I think it definitely should be. For instance, I absolutely adore these black ankle boots here. The design is classic and timeless, but the front straps give it some sort of bondage-like vibe which spices up the shoe and keeps it from being yet another black ankle boot in your closet. However, my wallet is not meant for splurging on designer shoes, and even the sale price of $256 is still a bit of a turn-off for me.

No need to shell out more than $250 when you got an almost perfect dupe right at your fingertips! These Carlos by Carlos Santana are a great budget alternative if you’re looking for the Bionda Castana bootie look.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E00334 Sandals

by Vanessa on December 17, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 17, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Sometimes shoe designers have a look. You see their shoes and immediately can shout out the brand, whether or not you’ve recently viewed the collection. Though it makes a fun game, it’s particularly challenging to play if Giuseppe Zanotti is what’s in front of you. Each season the shoes are sexy and sophisticated, but constantly evolving. They never look too much like a season before. Take these sandals for example, fresh and new – it’s like your foot got all tangled up in a few belts, but in a cool way, obviously.

Luichiny “To Die For” Strappy Platform Sandals

UPDATE (12/17/2011): Found another affordable and almost identical Giuseppe Zanotti knockoff by Luichiny. Available in black, brown and natural leather.

DV by Dolce Vita “Cleo” Strappy Sandals

If the Zanottis are a bit out of your range, then DV by Dolce Vita can come to the rescuse, again. The mid-priced collection is constantly creating great quality looks for less than the name brand. What I love most about the DVs is that they aren’t trying too hard. Sure, they take style cues from the big boys, but they add in their own twist like the great stud detail below. Available in brown, black & natural.
