Ankle Strap

Colorblocking has been trending for the past few seasons, and while mainly neon and bright colors have been featured for Spring, Giuseppe Zanotti brings us a toned down and more classical version in a shoe. Though these E10180 Two-Tone Ankle Strap Sandals don’t exactly coincide with the colorblocking concept, the idea of incorporating two tones, hence the beige and black, is there. Simply put, I find these to be super chic and elegant. Another perk is that they are currently on sale for $246.99 in comparison to their colossal original price of $550. Still not in your budget? Then check out the steal below.

Vince Camuto “Bello” Ankle Strap Sandals

As you can see, there aren’t many differences to spot aside from the price. Thanks to Vince Camuto, the “Bello” Ankle Strap Sandals display vast similarities with the real deal without breaking the bank. Priced at $129, we get the gorgeous Giuseppe Zanotti look while still maintaining a sense of affordability.

If I ever want to add a dash of sex appeal, I usually reach for a pair of sky-high heels and instantly I feel transformed. But these Alexander Wang Metallic Sandals are in a league all their own. They are one part mysterious and two parts siren, and how gorgeous is that metallic rose gold? Unfortunately, they are completely sold out, but you can snag a similar pair for a fraction of the original $495 price tag. Check out the steals below!

I wonder how Christian (yes, in my mind, him & I are on first name basis ;-) ) must feel, knowing that a lot of the shoes on the market are direct unabashed, unapologetic copies of his designs? And this bi-color heel is no exception. I’m gonna guess he isn’t feeling too bad because even if you could afford the $695 for this adorable (perfect for the office) ankle-strap, it’s sold out. But don’t fret; as I mentioned above, this heel too was knocked off.

Ivanka Trump “Marika” Sandals

This will probably sound cliche’, but I have only one thing to say to the designing team at Ivanka Trump: “You’re fired!” Seriously, I love a good bargain, but this outright laziness and lack of creativity is starting to really perplex me. I expected more from a celebrity endorsed line (that’s why I love Jessica Simpson’s line). BUT, if you could care less about the lack of originality, then this is a great imitation for you. I’ll just keep my (unsolicited) opinions to myself… this time. ;-)

Speaking of a super popular shoe, it seems that these Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals have made quite the statement among celebs. I love everything that this shoe has to offer, especially the metallic hue and the towering heel. I can’t even decide who wore these platform sandals best; everyone looks so fashionable and posh. Who do you think wore Jimmy Choo best? Surprisingly though… these glamorous platforms are not sold out yet so if you want to, or have $1.095 then these would make an amazing splurge. Otherwise, scroll down to see the fabulous steal below.

Sergio Zelcer “Osima” Platform Sandals

Thanks to Sergio Zelcer, the “Osima” Platform Sandals practically dupe the Jimmy Choo design above. These shoes definitely fit into the category of “glamour”, and are very elegant for a special event. Though I love the solid tones, the tie dye options add a certain zest and have more of a casual look. Available in gold, silver, and orange and blue tie dye.

Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.
