Is it just me, or are there suddenly scores of wonderful wedges coming out of the woodwork? Like these swoontastic Crisscross Wedge Sandals from Givenchy? Don’t they look like they were designed especially for It girl Leigh Lezark?

BCBGeneration “Gonzalo” Wedge Sandals
I’ve got to admit, put “Givenchy” before anything, and I’m pretty much in love. But as much as I wish those Crisscross Wedge Sandals were on my feet, at a whopping $1.174.50, I’ve already put that little fantasy to bed. Thankfully, the “Gonzalo” Wedge Sandals by BCBGeneration run a very close second. And they look extraordinarily comfy. Available in black lycra mesh, silver ash, and buttermilk.

Everyone here at InTheirCloset is a fan of shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard. And why wouldn’t we? As shoe fanatics we value the uniqueness and thought that reflect in Skovgaard’s designs. What I also like about her shoes is the price point. Most of her shoes retail for $400-$600 and that’s rather the low point for designer shoes these days. Of course for most of us even a medium priced Skoovgard shoe on sale for 50% can be too expensive.

BCBGeneration “Wren” Chain Sandals
If you’re diggin the chains, but can live without Skovgaard’s signature jagged sole I welcome you to take a closer look at these sandals by BCBGeneration. Available in black, pewter, blue & nude.

Topshop PAYNE Chain Strappy Sandals
Topshop has also a very similar style; again no ragged sole. They’re a little bit steep at $190 considering the sale price of the Skovgaards is only $50 away, but if you prefer the classic design you might find yourself liking these more.

Ever since Kristen Stewart donned this black leather bustier dress by Elizabeth & James at a promotinal event in Madrid sometime last year I always wanted and hoped to find a steal version because I really, really liked the dress; the mix of sheer and leather, the side pockets (I love things that have pockets!), pretty much everything about it was enticing for me. But $545? Like seriously? Not gonna happen.

Judging by all the Real vs. Steal posts that cover shoes I think it’s safe to say that I’m a total shoe addict. I get a lot of emails with requests to identify shoes worn by celebrities and I am now debating whether I should be worried about the fact that I’m almost always able to recognize them. These Giuseppe Zanotti open-toe booties (RRP: $999) for example were quite easy to id because of all the unique details. Saw them and instantly knew the designer!

Michael Antonio “Misty” Ankle Boots
OK, I know these booties by Michael Antonio look slightly different because of the higher shaft, the stiletto shaped heel and the extra layer underneath the grommets, but it’s SO easy to see where the inspiration for these came from. They probably added the extra layer only because they wanted to release this bootie for the fall/winter collection. If you like the Giuseppe Zanottis, but don’t have the $$$ to splurge, these budget-friendly booties are a good investment.

I never paid much attention to Prada shoes because they never seemed to be that noteworthy. For me, it was all about Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada’s younger contemporary line which seemed to always outshine her bigger sister in the footwear department – that was until now. I recently discovered some really neat Prada heels which I instantly loved. Take these studded platform slingbacks for example. I love the chunkiness of the platform & heel!

Steve Madden “CARMENAA” Studded Slingbacks
If you like the Prada slingbacks, but can’t afford spending so much on shoes, Steve Madden has a great and almost identical knockoff version of the studded Pradas. They have the same stud details, the same shape and even the same chunky heel. The only noticeable difference (apart from the lower price) is that the Steve Madden slingbacks are suede. Hmmmm, I think I’m going to order a pair of these for myself.

First things first: I’m so sorry for not having posted over the weekend, but I’ve been out of town for the weekend because of my cousin’s wedding, so that’s my lame excuse, OK? Anyway, I am desperately looking for the perfect hybrid between a sandal and a bootie to wear on chilly summer nights. The “Rasta” cutout bootie/sandal by L.A.M.B. looks promising, but the $350 price is a big turn-off.

Bebe “Adele” Snake Trimmed Booties
UPDATE (07/31/2009): Just found another great and affordable L.A.M.B. look-a-like by Bebe called “Adele”.
Bebe’s “Adele” bootie is not as spot-on as the Steve Madden version, but you can still see where they draw their inspiration from. I much prefer the heel of this knockoff version though, so grab them while you can.

Are you a Giuseppe Zanotti fan? If so, I bet you’re drooling over these I90188 Zipper Sandals, and why wouldn’t you? They’re a little daring, with the zipper and decorative hardware, but still tame enough to sport with trousers in the office—or anywhere, for that matter. Originally $750, they are now available at a discount, but I’m not sure the average shopper is willing to plunk down more than $400 for them. Cute, but 400 bucks worth of cute?

So about the $400+ I mentioned above? You’ll only need a quarter of it for these BCBGeneration “Taina” Sandals that look so much like the Zanotti pair. With all that money still in your purse, guess cocktails are on you tonight, right?

The plain black pump is the go to heel in every woman’s wardrobe, but equally as important is the not so simple black shoe. It brings excitement to the little black dress and functions as an accessory all on its own. These ribbon wrapped sandals by Givenchy stand alone as a statement with the ribbon wrapping all the way up to the ankle, like an ankle boot – fit for summer!

We’ve been getting quite a few requests lately to do a post on affordable nude shoes. It’s a trend I have first seen emerging on the red carpet about 2 years ago. Eva Longoria seems to be pioneering this trend as she owns a multitude of nude heels. From simple Louboutin pumps to luscious champagne colored satin evening sandals we can regularly see Eva sporting nude footwear on and off the red carpet. And who can blame her? It’s probably as flattering as a shoe trend can be because nude shoes naturally elongate your legs and can be worn with almost any outfit either dressed up or down.
We’ve made it our mission to find the best nude heels for under $100 and I’m really satisfied with how many fabulous nude shoes are currently on the market for a budget-friendly price. Now that spring has finally come and temperatures are rising, it’s time to lighten up our wardrobes… starting with our shoes! Enjoy our finds and let us know whether or not you like this trend or if you already have a pair of nude heels in your closet.

Perhaps you’re not into the gladiator trend, but still like your sandals strappy? Then look no further! Chloé updated the the look by adding a small wedge and the overall effect is more relaxed and less Roman. The only problem is, they’re sold out. Fret not, fashion lovers…
