Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10134 Chiffon-Bow Sandals

by Roseanne on January 24, 2013

As a shoe, these E10134 Chiffon-Bow Sandals are edgy, chic and seem to look good with just about everything. Giuseppe Zanotti has yet to disappoint, and well – these sandals are just another beautiful addition to his ever-growing body of work. Featuring a chiffon bow at the ankle, these shoes seem to manage to spice up any outfit, although the actual design itself is on the minimal side. The price of $850, on the other hand, is not so simple. Hence, we have a beautiful alternative for you!

Paris Hilton “Selene” Chiffon-Bow Sandals

Although in the past I would have never really considered Paris Hilton as a designer of footwear, or really any garments, I think I have been transformed. After browsing her past and recent footwear collection, I really did like many of the shoes, and most importantly they are on the affordable side. These “Selene” Chiffon-Bow Sandals perfectly prove my point stated above. They are chic, elegant, and super similar to the designer version without stretching one’s budget. Also, is it possible that these “Selene” sandals might just be a reference to Selena Gomez who also wore these shoes?

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E30059 Rhinestone T-Strap Bow Sandals

by Roseanne on January 23, 2013

Something about these Giuseppe Zanotti E30059 Rhinestone T-Strap Bow Sandals trigger a sort of nostalgia within me, and remind me of a fairy tale from when I was a little girl. I’m not sure whether it’s the superfluous amount of rhinestones, the pretty blue-green hue, or even the bow; but together, these three characteristics combine to make a beautiful shoe. Although they are out of my league budget-wise, they can add a certain feminine dimension to any outfit. On that note, take a look at the steal below!

Luichiny “Piper Zoe” T-Strap Bow Sandals

In my opinion, this look-a-like by Luichiny is more wearable partially due to the higher heel in addition to the more overall, “grown-up” shape and structure. These “Piper Zoe” T-Strap Bow Sandals are clearly reminiscent of the Zanottis above and definitely do not lack in any of the main characteristics that are the ultimate details. Besides the way more affordable pricing of $79.99, these sandals are available in an array of colors for every occasion, wardrobe and style. Although I really love this bright blue tone, they also come in black, ivory, fuchsia, and blush satin.

Real vs. Steal – B Brian Atwood Fontanne Suede Colorblock Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on January 23, 2013

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 23, 2013. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I absolutely adore the entire B Brian Atwood collection for several reasons. I appreciate how the collection is true to the label yet is more of an affordable version, without straying from Brian Atwood’s vision. Though I may not be able to purchase this shoe until it hits the sale rack, if it ever does, I cannot fail to express my obsession with it. The colorblocking adds a pop of color juxtaposing a simple pump with a not-so-simple pattern. However, if you don’t want to wait until the next sale, which may never exist in fact, check out the alternative below.

The shape is very reminiscent of these Giuseppe Zanotti heels, but the colorblocking is very B Brian Atwood. To mimic the B Brian Atwood look the ankle strap is removable, so you can mix and match the different style this pump boasts. The amalgam of design and inspiration behind this shoe creates an eclectic feel that will last long both regarding wearability and trends.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Lauren Conrad’s Crisp White Shirt & Forest Green Skinny Jeans

by Irina on January 22, 2013

Lauren Conrad is to Los Angeles what Olivia Palermo is to New York; namely the best dressed socialite/reality tv personality in town! I was seriously starting to forget about LC and her impeccable style, but then I saw her in this white crisp button down shirt and forest green skinny jeans and I remembered how much I used to love Lauren’s classic style of dressing. Of course, I instantly had to recreate LC’s sharp look on a budget-friendly level. Check it out below!

Real vs. Steal – Ralph Lauren Collection Flat Ankle Boots

by Roseanne on January 21, 2013

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 21, 2013. Scroll down to see the new add.

Flat ankle boots look especially chic and elegant and are perfect for colder weather as a substitute for a pair of heels. While keeping in mind a hint of equestrian style, Ralph Lauren created a simple ankle boot that is yet so impeccably designed. The metal buckles on the side add a modern touch and craft a versatile feel. With that said, these beauties are priced at a not-so-simple budget of $695 and are sold out, too! However, check out the amazing look-a-likes we found below!

Tory Burch “Amarina” Booties

Tory Burch is often noted as the Queen of Comfort when it comes towards designing beautiful shoes. Although I haven’t personally worn these “Amarina” Booties, I highly doubt that they’d be likely to disappoint in the comfort department. Very similar to the ankle boots above, these booties feature a similar equestrian meets edgy style, but come with a much smaller price tag. Though they are still fairly pricey at $395, they’d make a great splurge and could take you through almost all of winter and fall!

Unlisted “Beyond Me” Flat Ankle Boots

And here we have a beautiful and affordable version of the luxe designer booties above priced at only $89! These Unlisted “Beyond Me” Flat Ankle Boots exude edginess and are the perfect casual everyday shoes. The buckle gives it somewhat of a biker boot vibe, but at the same time does not deduct from the equestrian design details. These booties can be paired with virtually anything in your wardrobe: tights, leggings, denim, knit dresses and so on, so get then while they’re still available!
