I remember the time when I first discovered the Hervé Léger brand. That was back in 2007 when the bandage dresses weren’t so overexposed on the red carpet. I was so smitten with the whole Spring 2008 collection, I used to browse the Hervé Léger website for hours just staring at all the beautiful dresses which looked like they’ve been sprayed on the model’s impeccable body.
The white dress below used to be my absolute favorite. The crisp white color and the hourglass shape made it simply irresistible.
Hervé Léger Spring 2008 White Bandage Dress
($1500-$2000, SOLD OUT)
BB Dakota "The Rebel Dress"
This knockoff dress by BB Dakota may be only available in black and pistachio, but the straps as well as the bandage detailing are the same as on the original Hervé Léger dress. The “Rebel” dress retails for $65 and if you enter coupon code TASH09 at the checkout, you’ll receive 15% OFF your entire order.

Lipsy Strap Detail Body-Con Dress
European Hervé Léger aficionados can also grab their own bandage dress 4 less. Lipsy has a very similar to the one above which retails for £65 (~$107) and comes in either lavender (pictured) or coral.

Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. design team can be often held liable for a lot of my shoe obsessions. Look at the “Tammy” bootie pumps for example. They are so neat and fancy. The criss cross detail I like as well as the sexy zipper in the back and the stiletto heel will make my legs look a mile long. However, the price is a real turn-off.

($351.45, Endless)
Also available at Heels

Chinese Laundry “Love Me” Woven Heels
If you don’t want to spend $350+ on shoes, how about these Tammy knockoffs by Chinese Laundry? They retail for less than a third of the original’s price and come in either black, cognac or natural (my preferred color!).

Qupid Affair-19 Woven Bootie Pumps
These L.A.M.B. knockoffs by Qupid are my favorite in terms of price (on sale for 50% OFF!) and look (come closest to the originals). As you can see these bootie pumps are available in 3 different colors: black, white and brown.

If you want to save even further, these woven stilettos by Charlotte Russe might fit your bill. They retail for $39.99 and come in either black or brown.

Is there anything you can’t love about these absolutely gorgeous Valentino suede cutout lace up booties? They are from last season’s fall line and of course sold out by now despite the hefty price tag of $945.

($945, SOLD OUT)
Pour La Victoire Eden Peep-toe Oxford Booties
When I first saw these Pour La Victoire “Eden” cutout booties, I intuitively knew that they had to be some sort of upscale knockoffs (Pour La Victoire makes these on a regular basis). Call it my knockoff intuition. I find myself falling for the nude version, but I also love them in blue and black as well. Shopbop has these also in a cream and grey version.

Rihanna has worn a multitude of fabulous things last week and I wanted to give you all a small update on her latest fab acquisitions. I loved her black Alexander McQueen killer zip up booties which she wore to Fred Segal on June 02, 2009. A few days before, Rihanna looked incredibly sexy in a one shouldered Alexander Wang LBD. On that same day Rihanna also sported a casual outfit by pairing a white Brian Reyes vest together with a blue MiH Jeans skinny jeans. Keep on going, RiRi!
