Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Aurora Open-Toe Sandals

by Erica on May 20, 2011

This shoe definitely reminds me of bondage and who wouldn’t want some sexy yet classy bondage footwear? Especially if it’s Jimmy Choo! These shoes will look stellar with a cute pair of skinny jeans or a not so over-the-top dress to really spice up your outfit! But, if you’re not willing to pay that luxury price, or be put on a waiting list since this Jimmy Choo is sold out we have another alternative!

Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pumps

So the heel might not be as high as the Choo, and yes I will admit I do still prefer the Choo over this one (it’s my luxury love), you can still have a fun time with this Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pump! And priced at $199.95, it’s definitely a way more affordable way to get the bondage look! Available in black, coral, off white, beige and brown.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Exclu Lace & Satin Slingback Pumps

by Irina on May 19, 2011

Whenever I see these delicate Christian Louboutin lace slingbacks I have to think of lingerie. Sexy lingerie for your feet, that is. And I know good quality lingerie comes at a price (my favorite bra cost over $120 and lasted over 5 years), but $795 for a shoe you can only wear on special occasions? Well, Mr. Louboutin, I guess I’ll have to pass… this time.

Martinez Valero “Oscar” Lace Slingback Pumps

So I realize these lace slingbacks by Martinez Valero miss one of the most dominant features, the bow, to be really considered a proper Louboutin knockoff, but if you don’t belong to the most patient people and just can’t wait another 2-3 months (my estimated timeframe for this design to trickle down to the copycat brands) for a more exact Loubie look-a-like to pop up, these here are probably your best bet. And besides, if you’re really into the bow you might want to do a DIY-project out of these (assuming you’re one of those crafty crazies! ;-) ). These come in black, ivory and nude.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Big Kiss Studded Flats

by Vahni on May 17, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 17, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Leave it to Christian Louboutin to take a simple, sweet ballerina flat and make it sexy—and subversive. There’s nothing about the Big Kiss Flat I don’t like, from the gleaming black patent, to the spiky silver studs. Well, truth be told, there are a couple tiny problems with these shoes: the typically high Louboutin price tag, and the fact that although they debuted in the Resort 2010 collection, they’re already sold out.

Candela Studded Punk Flats

UPDATE (06/14/2010): I also just came across these fabulous though somewhat pricey Big Kiss look-a-likes by Candela. Available in either black or white leather.

Steve Madden “KAISAR” Studded Flats

Since Louboutin’s Big Kiss is not only pricey, but just about impossible to acquire, you can get your good girl/bad girl fill with the Steve Madden “Kaisar” studded flat. It’s not quite as spiky, but lots of gleaming studs still make this flat a stand-out. Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

Charles David “Rad” Studded Flats

Another option is the studded, shiny snake “Rad” Flat by Charles David. Like the Big Kiss, the “Rad” boasts high-gloss shine, and while there are less studs, the snakeskin adds oomph. Hiss…

Pour la Victoire “Juliet” Studded Flats

And here is yet another alternative: “Juliet” by Pour la Victoire. Not quite as aggressive in appearance (and probably superbly comfy) these flats could very well replace the flip-flips in your closet.

Real vs. Steal – Stella McCartney Mesh Basket Sandals

by Irina on May 16, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 16, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Mary-Kate Olsen is quite the trendsetter. A few weeks after being spotted on MK’s feet, Stella McCartney‘s mesh sandals hit the digital shelves of NET-A-PORTER, but sold out there super fast. If you are craving the real deal, you can still find them on Stella’s website or read on and let me show you some recession-proof alternatives.

Mary-Kate Olsen Loves Stella McCartney

At the beginning of 2009, Mary-Kate Olsen was having an obsession with Stella McCartney’s mesh sandals from the Spring 2009 collection. She was wearing them to various events and when being out and about before finally moving on to another pair of lustworthy heels which she could wear to death.

UPDATE (05/12/2010): Yay! Finally another Stella McCartney knockoff and this one’s absolutely fabulous I think. Martinez Valero did a great job with his “Cleo” sandals. They come in either black, nude or silver.

Bebe “Lizzy” Mesh Sandals

I always thought Steve Madden is the king of knockoffs, but after seeing so many knockoffs coming from Bebe latey, I have come to the conclusion that they deserve this title. Whenever I visit their website, new designer knockoffs have popped up just like these Stella McCartney knockoffs for example. Bebe’s “Lizzy” sandals come in 3 different colors and retail for $139.

Real vs. Steal – Camilla Skovgaard S10011 Cut-Out Sandals

by Velicia Hill on May 10, 2011

You know, I love how everyone decides upon their signature scent or their own way of dressing. Doing what one needs to do in order to stand out in a crowd. And that’s exactly what Camilla Skovgaard did by giving her shoes a crazy saw bottom à la Edward Scissorhands! She might not be a household name yet, but you’ll definitely recognize her shoes the next time you’re out shopping. Too bad you won’t be able to pick up this adorable sandal/bootie – already sold out! But because we ALWAYS have your back, scroll down for a great alternative.

Promiscuous “Malia” Sandals

I told ya, we’d have your back. Check out Malia-a sassy lil thang by Promiscuous! Of course she’s missing the crazy bottom, but for only $69 who’s complaining? Bonus: a higher heel (but that just might be me). Available in black or nude faux suede.
