Fall 2010 Trends – The Ultimate All-in-One Outfit

by Irina on September 28, 2010

Fall has arrived. We waved summer goodbye. It’s time to pack all the sundresses in the back of the attic and get out the boots, coats and cozy winter scarves. Weather-wise it’s not the greatest season, but fashion-wise it’s a total win. One word: Layering! I decided to sum up all the fall trends that I’ve noticed on the F/W 2010 runways and put them together in one outfit. Tell me what you think of it!

Real vs. Steal – Camilla Skovgaard Zaha Open-Toe Booties

by Irina on September 9, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 09, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

One year ago I was not familiar with Camilla Skovgaard shoes. This quickly changed when I saw more and more celebrities wearing her shoe designs on the red carpet. Of all the new and upcoming shoe designers that are currently out there, Camilla has the biggest potential to become one of my absolute favorite shoe designers among the likes of Giuseppe Zanotti, Brian Atwood or Christian Louboutin.

Steven by Steve Madden “LINORE” Booties

Steve Madden did again what he does best – copying designer shoes. And I must admit I really like his interpretation of the “Zaha” ankle booties. Not quite the cheapest, but the quality looks great, don’t you agree?

Nine West “Abi” Open-Toe Ankle Boots

If you want to save some more cash, you might find yourself liking these Camilla Skovgaard knockoffs by Nine West. The heel on these is thicker and they have a platform which the originals don’t have, but overall they’re still a good alternative to the pricey Skovgaard booties.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Fernando Strappy Sandals

by Vahni on June 22, 2010

Doesn’t it seem like everyone—and everything—named Fernando is just drop dead gorgeous? Gaga may not want to be your babe, Fernando, but I sure the hell do, especially since your last name is Louboutin. Really, does Christian Louboutin make anything but spectacular shoes with equally spectacular price tags?

Anne Michelle CULPRIT-02 Sandals

Maybe Fernando has you all hot-and-bothered too, but at more than eight bills, it’s likely that for most, Fernando will remain a figment of our fantasies. I can’t produce a red-soled twin for you, but the CULPRIT-02 Sandals by Anne Michelle are a decent stand-in. With their criss-crossed look and bootie-esque feeling, you get the same styling—and for less than $40, you could probably be rocking them with a mini as soon as next weekend. Also available in black, cognac & grey.

Real vs. Steal – Sergio Rossi Zip Back Sandals

by Irina on April 11, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 11, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

If you’re looking for a sexy pair of black high heels, these Sergio Rossi zip back sandals might be what you’re looking for. The criss cross straps add interest while the zipper that goes all the way down to the heel will grant you some “Ooooh!” and “Aaaah!” moments from fellow shoe aficionados.

Every second shoe style from Jessica Simpson‘s shoe line is basically a knockoff. The “Deluth” pump is no exception. The heel might be thicker, but other than that they look almost like the Sergio Rossi back zip sandals.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Zipper Boots

by Irina on January 3, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 03, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

So, did you catch the zippers & buckles trend for this season? This is majorly thanks to Balmain & Giuseppe Zanotti who presented this trend in their wonderful Fall 2009 collection. Take these suede zipper boots here for example. They are absolutely gorgeous and I would LOVE to rock them, but at $1.975 a pair this isn’t going to happen… sad, but true.

Anne Michelle “Just Zip It” Boots

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw these hot babies by Anne Michelle popping up on LuLu*s “What’s New“-section. They look so close to the originals and are sooooo affordable at the same time. Major excitement! Yes, they are faux-suede, but it’s almost impossible to get real suede at such a cheap price, so don’t complain.

N.Y.L.A. “Zipit” Ankle Boots

We all have different kinds of budgets and since I know a lot of you aren’t into faux suede, I wanted to provide an additional great Balmain alternative to lust after. These zippered boots by N.Y.L.A. are significantly pricier than the Anne Michelle boots, but the quality you’ll get will be accordingly better. Available in black, brown, natural or red suede.
