In case you didn’t get the memo, the 2010 designer darling is Alexander Wang. And why not? Aside from his clothing lines, his bags are legendary, his shoes the definition of urban cool, and—mark my words—his Zoro Angular Acetate Sunglasses are going to be iconic. In 20 years’ time, your girls are going to be scrambling for their very own vintage pair. They are the cat eye of the noughties.

ASOS offers a similar style that is sure to be your good luck charm all season long, and at a great price! You can also wear this blazer with other spring colors like lavender, turquoise, lime green or citrine yellow. Most importantly, check the fit before you buy. It should be roomy enough to wear a top underneath, but nicely tailored at the shoulders.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps

by Roseanne on February 21, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 29, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Prada is known for redefining what fashion truly is by following the theme of subtle luxury. Miu Miu, from the Prada fashion house, merely follows the same concept but with an avant garde flair. I found that the entire Miu Miu Fall collection was very versatile and most importantly super wearable. The Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps exhibit an architectural sculpted heel which is bold yet minimalistic, therefore making it wearable for every occasion. I love the way Taylor Swift wore these pumps; it’s classy yet modern and the red lip adds a touch of boldness. Who do you think wore Miu Miu best?

Gianni Bini “Daniella” Peep-Toe Platform Pumps

UPDATE (01/29/2012): Here a few more Miu Miu knockoffs, all under $80. By Gianni Bini. I really like the blue python print version for some reason.

Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps

For one who is looking to indulge in the flared heel style, these Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps are a remarkable look-a-like. These are chicly refined, and are essentially for any woman’s taste. It is very hard to distinguish the difference between these and the pumps by Miu Miu. Even by looking at the miniscule details, for one I can’t tell the difference. Aside from flaunting a similar style, these are much more affordable. Available in black or light grey suede.

KG “Caggie” Platform Peep-toe Pumps

Like the look-a-like above, these KG by Kurt Geiger “Caggie” Peep-toe Pumps also follow a similar concept. As a more affordable alternative, these are definitely less costly than the Miu Miu pumps as well as the Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps above. Available in black suede or nude leather.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Embellished Open-Back Crepe Dress

by Juliana on February 6, 2012

The little black dress gets a twist for spring with the addition of delicate sleeves and a beautiful open-back detail. Think minimal accessories, upswept do, chandelier earrings and sky-high, black platform pumps. It seems Miu Miu has done it again, designing a dress that is elegant with a red carpet flair. But unless you are a celebrity, or you’ve got $4,105 to spend on a new dress, consider taking a look at the awesome look-a-like below.
