Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

by Irina on August 30, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 30, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Kitten heels and pointed toes are usually NOT what turns me on about a shoe, but strange enough I think it totally works on these red suede kitten pumps by Isabel Marant. Maybe it’s the lavishly tied bow or the red suede or maybe that they look so French. But I do like these. A lot. Others, including a flood of Hollywood celebs, seem to favor these heels as well since the Poppy pumps have sold out rather quickly online. I especially like how Hilary Duff wore these with a grey tank and rolled up skinny jeans.

Real vs. Steal – Gucci New Bamboo Stud-Embellished Leather Tote

by Erica on June 13, 2011

I’m really enjoying the look of this sleek Gucci Bamboo leather tote! Love the bamboo handle and of course the classic Gucci tassels. I also love that the bag comes with an extra strap just in case you get tired carrying it around your arm. Yet, the price tag is a little steep for me. If you’re willing to pay the $4.200 by all means go ahead! You’ll definitely receive compliments. But, if you want a steal we have one for you!

Melie Bianco “Zoe” Bamboo-Accent Satchel

I’m not quite sold on the colors of the Melie Bianco handbags, yet if you’re looking for that bamboo look of the Gucci I do think the handbag gives you that. If I was to get any of the colors I’d get the yellow! Priced at $113 at Endless!

Lany Handbags “Nadya” Top Handle Bag

HOT DEAL: Use code “SPRING11” to get 15% OFF your entire order!

The “Nadya” handbag by Lany Handbags is similar in color to the authentic Gucci. Yet I hate the fact that it’s missing the tassels and the bamboo handle. It’s a cute little handbag for $55, but I think I’m going to stick with the Melie Bianco “Zoe” Bamboo-Accent Satchel for my steal! This one is available in black or beige.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Patchwork T-Strap Wedges

by Vanessa on May 22, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

The wedge is such a fabulous invention. Elongates the legs? Check. Adds height? Check. Looks great with dresses, pants, skirts and shorts? Check. The only thing that would make them absolutely perfect is if they didn’t hurt the feet. Oh wait, they don’t! I could spend hours comfortably walking in so many of my wedges, which makes me wish they went with every ensemble. These Miu Miu ones would make a quick and smooth transition into my wardrobe, except for the fact that they’re sold out. Well, I supposed I can’t have it all.

Or maybe I can have it all – at least on my feet. Steve Madden comes to the rescue with their brand’s fantastic look-a-like. The only thing missing is the patchwork detail on the heel and if you can keep a secret I’ll tell you…I think it looks better (Shhh!).

They have all the style of Audrina and Dakota’s pairs at a whopping 1/20th of the price. That should leave some left over cash for what else? More wedges, of course! Available in brown and white.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10336 Bow Satin Sandals

by Irina on May 22, 2011

So I think I’ve already mentioned that flat shoes rarely catch my attention. I do wear them, but only if I must and I always try to find a way to wear my high heels out instead. Now if I had these Giuseppe Zanotti leopard print silk ankle bow sandals you bet I’d so change my mind about not wanting to wear flat shoes. I love how Zanotti combines the wild leopard print with girly details such as the giant side darling bow. But $695? If I were to ever spend that much on shoes it’d have to be a high heel, so no Zanotti flats for me here.

Bamboo Bloom-33 Leopard Satin Side Bow Flat Sandals

If you love the leopard ankle bow look but don’t want to spend a fortune, try these super cute & affordable Bamboo sandals instead. The bow is smaller, but this also means it won’t be dragging dust from the floor/streets, so that’s a good thing, right? For $23 I’d be willing to blind-buy. Some sizes are already sold out though, so you better order fast if you love these lovelies as much as I do.

Heel of the Day – Bamboo Colada-35 Cork Platform Pumps

by Irina on March 13, 2011

OK, today’s Heel of the Day post is going to be short & simple because I want you to head over to LuLu*s ASAP and get your own pair of these super fab pink Bamboo cork platform pumps for the amazing price of only $32. How awesome is that? They slightly remind me of Christian Louboutin’s “Catenita” slingbacks which I absolutely adored. Don’t you love it when cheap & fabulous come hand in hand? I sure do.
