Real vs. Steal – Brian Atwood Maniac Hidden Platform Pumps

by Irina on September 28, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 28, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I usually don’t like publishing 2 consequent posts about the same brand, but in the case of Brian Atwood I think I can make an exception. His rise to fame started somewhen last year with the “Maniac” platform pump which was one of the first 5″ heels to conquer the red carpet & every female celebrity’s heart. Nude pumps were starting to make the round back then and Brian Atwood’s version was especially appealing with its hidden platform, the high arch and delicious taupe color. Despite their hefty price tag of more than $600, it didn’t take long until these were completely sold out.

Steve Madden “RUSSHH” Platform Pumps

Ever since I discovered Brian Atwood’s Maniac pumps I was hoping and waiting for a good copy to come along. Surprisingly, it took longer than expected, but we finally have a Maniac doppelgänger courtesy of Steve Madden. Madden’s version isn’t quite as high and the color is not a perfect match, but at that price I’m not complaining. Available in 9 different colors and finishes: black, blush, fuchsia, lavender, nude, teal and wine patent as well as black and plum suede.

Real vs. Steal – Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots

by Vahni on September 18, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 18, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Hey… Jane Aldridge stole my Mongolian lamb vest! To get back at her, I might have to steal her Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots. Especially since they retailed for $740 and sold clean out. Of course, I’m kidding people. About the vest, at least. The boots did sell out, and there’s no reason to wonder why. Look how hot they are on Jane! Say what you will about this uber-famous bloggerista—but she’s got style in spades.

Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots

Thank goodness, there’s no need for any illegal activity should any of us want to channel Jane’s amazing looks above. The all-leather Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots have the same linear insets, gleaming buckles, and they go on forever on the leg—but for about half the price of the Barneys pair. Available in black or taupe leather.

Real vs. Steal – James Perse Knit Dress

Attention to all those that eat… oh I don’t know, 500 calories a day! This 1/2 a yard of fabric is for you. And for the record: I AM NOT HATING! I, too, can wear this dress (with Spanx, of course – sadly I think the Spanx may be longer than the dress). C’mon, there just isn’t a lot of fabric to this simple yet sexy James Perse dress. That’s why I will leave this tiny little dress with the not-so-big price tag for those with a little body and a not-so-small ego! You go, girl. :-)

ASOS Body-Conscious Dress with Scoop Neck

Don’t cha just love ASOS? A rare retailer who understands that sometimes less is well… LESS! Especially true when it comes to this body-con clone. My God, did they actually make it smaller? Yes, they did. Or better yet: Oh no, they didn’t! ;-) Oh well, glad to see that the price tag is just as tiny as the dress. At only $36, unite skinny chicks of the world – buy it in all three colors: red, purple and black.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pumps

by Vahni on August 23, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 23, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

This fantastic Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pump may look a little familiar to you…that’s because we featured the red version here on ITC back in July 2009. But nude heels are so hot right now that we felt compelled to revisit this pair. They’re a totally fresh take on nude—sculptural and feminine at the same time.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Kim Kardashian’s Pink Cardigan & Yellow Hermès Birkin Bag

by Irina on July 22, 2011

Kim Kardashian likes to stand out. And if she does so by flaunting fabulous outfits like the one shown below, well, I don’t mind. How gorgeous is her lemon Birkin bag anyway? And the pink cardigan? Love the combo and the fact that she kept everything pretty basic with a white tee, jeans and neutral shoes. Check out our budget version of Kim’s look below and let us know what you think.
