Ankle Booties

Rihanna has worn a multitude of fabulous things last week and I wanted to give you all a small update on her latest fab acquisitions. I loved her black Alexander McQueen killer zip up booties which she wore to Fred Segal on June 02, 2009. A few days before, Rihanna looked incredibly sexy in a one shouldered Alexander Wang LBD. On that same day Rihanna also sported a casual outfit by pairing a white Brian Reyes vest together with a blue MiH Jeans skinny jeans. Keep on going, RiRi!

One year ago a fresh-faced Keira Knightley attended a photocall for her film “The Edge of Love” in Edinburgh wearing a cute floral printed blouse from Topshop (£35) which had a black contrasting collar and ruffled bib. Keira paired her Topshop blouse with a black high-waisted pencil skirt and matching black lace-up booties.

I love this look on Keira, she looks so healthy and happy and her outfit is young and fun, it would make a great wear-to-work ensemble.

Last year these gladiator booties from Givenchy were all the rage on the red carpet. They took Hollywood by storm and sold out shortly thereafter despite the hefty price tag of $995.

Celebrities Love Givenchy

As you can see many celebrities like Cassie, Charlize Theron, Heidi Montag and Lauren London all opted for Givenchy’s open toe booties.

Boutique 9 Joleen Gladiator Sandals

I have seen countless knockoffs of these Givenchy gladiator booties, but Boutique 9′s Joleen sandals are probably the best of the bunch. They are not 100% the same, but you can clearly see the inspiration Boutique 9 has taken from the Givenchys.

Not being the cheapest option, I’d still recommend these if you want Givenchy 4 less because they look well manufactured. Available colors are black, dove grey and tan.

If you prefer a knockoff that’s more similar to the original Givenchys, then you’ll probably like these knockoffs from Steve by Steve Madden better.

I’ve been wanting these woven Chanel booties for almost a year now. They first caught my attention when I spotted them on the Chanel Resort 2009 runway. It was love at first sight.

I almost forgot about my secret love for these shoes when I saw them again on Solange Knowles’ feet:

I began my online journey to find knockoffs of these ankle boots, but my search was luckless. No Chanel knockoffs far and wide. Until now when I spotted 2 of them on one day. Yay!

Jeffrey Campbell Cage Heel

This cage heel by Jeffrey Campbell is a good Chanel alternative, but I wish they would’ve taken the original swirled heel. Also available in tan at Bunnyhug.co.uk (£150)

GoJane Caged Peep-toe Heel

If spending $200 for a knockoff sounds off-putting to you, these woven booties knockoffs from GoJane ($39.90) might be just for you. They’re very much an exact copy of the Chanels except for the heel which is a stiletto here. Also available in 2 other color options: pink and green (ew!).

When we’re talking about popular shoes of 2008, the ones from Balenciaga’s Fall 2008 collection certainly fall into this category. Designed by Pierre Hardy for Balenciaga, the futuristic pointy heels have fast become a fashion staple in various celebrity closets.

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker wore her Balenciaga booties to various events with everything from a classic Chanel tweedsuit to an edgy rock-chick Balmain ripped minidress. Singer Ciara couldn’t resist as well.

Other celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Heidi Klum have incorporated the stiletto counterpart of the Balenciaga bootie into their red carpet ensembles.

If you can’t afford the $360 (sale price) for the real deal, you might want to give Luichiny’s Lorelei ankle bootie a chance to wow you.

Luichiny Lorelei Ankle Bootie

The Lorelei ankle bootie is almost identical with the Balenciaga bootie and also comes in bronze, but I prefer it much more in silver/black.
