Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bianca Platform Pumps

by Irina on February 5, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 5, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I am absolutely obsessed with these patent leather Christian Louboutin platform pumps. They are so gorgeous! I love everything about them – the shiny patent leather, the pitch black color, the mega high platform and the resulting height enhancement. PERFECTION! I sure am not the only one who fell for these lustworthy pumps as these heels sold like hot cakes when they hit the shelves a few months ago.

Bebe “Bailey” Patent Leather Pumps

UPDATE (01/21/2010): These Bebe platform also don’t match the Louboutin color, but the shape is almost identical and I just love a good shiny pump.

ALDO “Destime” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (12/18/2009): I know these ALDO pumps don’t really match the shiny patent version of the Louboutins, but the shape is so similar that I had to feature them. Who doesn’t need a pair of red pumps anyway? J’Adore!

Joan & David “Flipp” Platform Pumps

If you are willing to spend some cash to get a similar style, these patent platform pumps by Joan & David are a great alternative if you can’t afford the real deal. The platform is not as high as on the original, but overall they still look very similar. If you prefer a different color, the pumps are also available in various other colors & finishes.

BCBGeneration “Tinas” Platform Pumps

If your shopping budget does not allow for a pricey shoe splurge, you might want to try these Louboutin inspired platform pumps by BCBGeneration instead. They cost $60 only which makes them 2/3 cheaper than the above mentioned knockoff and you’ll save more than $700 compared to the real Louboutin pumps. It’s not a perfect match and the platform is even more watered down than on the first pair, but overall they are still a great option if you are lusting for the Louboutin look 4 less.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bibi Suede Platform Pumps

by Irina on October 15, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 15, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Christian Louboutin‘s “Bibi” pump is one of my favorite Loubies from the classic shoe styles department. I looooove the extreme arch and also that it has this straight column-like chunky heel; I just dig that on shoes, not sure why, but I love this (plus, it makes a high heel that much more stable/comfortable because the weight doesn’t pressure on a pinpoint-sized stiletto heel). That makes yet another addition to my never ending list of shoe obsessions.

Rough Justice “Kara” Platform Pumps

Rough Justice is a pretty new footwear brand and for their first collection they have decided to take some inspiration from the master of the red soled heels because these “Kara” platforms are obvious “Bibi” wannabes. Tood bad they’ve messed up the arch, otherwise it would’ve been a super great Louboutin alternative (though a pretty steep one at $200+). The pumps are available in black, turquoise, fuchsia, rust & stone suede.

Real vs. Steal – Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots

by Vahni on September 18, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 18, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Hey… Jane Aldridge stole my Mongolian lamb vest! To get back at her, I might have to steal her Barneys CO-OP Over-the-Knee Buckle Boots. Especially since they retailed for $740 and sold clean out. Of course, I’m kidding people. About the vest, at least. The boots did sell out, and there’s no reason to wonder why. Look how hot they are on Jane! Say what you will about this uber-famous bloggerista—but she’s got style in spades.

BCBGeneration “Whim” Boots

UPDATE (09/30/2010): Found a second & more exact knockoff version of the boots by BCBGeneration. They also cost a lot less than the Matikos and are available in either black or grey.

Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots

Thank goodness, there’s no need for any illegal activity should any of us want to channel Jane’s amazing looks above. The all-leather Matiko “Cadie” Over-the-Knee Boots have the same linear insets, gleaming buckles, and they go on forever on the leg—but for about half the price of the Barneys pair. Available in black or taupe leather.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10062 Crystal Ankle Cuff Sandals

by Erica on August 2, 2011

I’m not sure which woman wouldn’t want jewels around her ankles? And I’m sure you can clearly see why these Giuseppe Zanotti high heel sandals are sold out! I love the nude color straps and the decent heel height, but I’m not sold on the price! At $1.095 and sold out I think we can do better!

I love the crystals on these BCBGeneration sandals! I’m not too fond of the not-so-sleek heel, but I’ll get over that! Definitely love the price though: only $98! Available in nude, black, pewter and gold.

Kim Kardashian likes to stand out. And if she does so by flaunting fabulous outfits like the one shown below, well, I don’t mind. How gorgeous is her lemon Birkin bag anyway? And the pink cardigan? Love the combo and the fact that she kept everything pretty basic with a white tee, jeans and neutral shoes. Check out our budget version of Kim’s look below and let us know what you think.
