Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Karina Studded Fishnet Booties

by Celine on May 24, 2010

I’ve already professed my love, here on InTheirCloset, for all shoes that could be labelled “sandal-booties” so I won’t bore you with that; I will merely tell you that of all the designers who have come out with such a hybrid, Jimmy Choo probably does it best. His Karina Studded Fishnet Booties do indeed look like sexy fishnets for your feet. They accomplish the seemingly impossible: covering up the majority of the foot while still managing to look incredibly provocative. I love how they can look both sweet (see Shenae Grimes below) and tart (take a look at Anna Faris). Unfortunately the Choos ain’t cheap. These retail for $1,095. Granted they are on sale but $510 isn’t sounding much better to this broke gal.

Bumper Kakoa-79 Mesh Studded Sandals

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “AMIPROMO20” to receive 20% OFF your entire order!

Blessedly, Bumper has created the Kakoa-79 Mesh Studded Sandal. Yes, these are lacking a certain “Je ne sais quoi” that the Choos have in abundance, but these still look great and they are incredibly affordable. They retail for $26.99, but if you use the code listed above you will save a whopping $9.45 on these heels. I mean, honestly, they’re practically paying you to take these sandals off their hands. I say take them up on that offer. Also available in pink and yellow.

I ordered these from Go Jane (instead of ordering them through Amazon) and they are really cool! I wore them out the other day and I walked home (approx 20-30min walk) without even noticing I was wearing new shoes, they are really comfortable to wear :)

Burlington Coat Factory has an AppleBottoms (Nelly’s clothing line) version of this shoe for $24.99. The style is called “Posh” and I picked up a pair yesterday. They have a sexy fuschia sole on them. They’re also quite comfy!

Here they are on the AppleBottoms website (where they can be ordered as well, but more $ than BCF and only in sizes 6 & 7):

Oh, and BCF also has the AppleBottoms in a cream color as seen here on Amazon:

I thought about buying both colors, but I restrained myself.
