OMG! I have waited SO long for a YSL Trib Two Bootie knockoff to come along and now it’s finally here! Major knockoff find! I literally squealed with excitement when I saw the knockoffs.
Below you see the original YSL Trib Two booties in brown croc leather. I adored these booties just as much as their sister shoe – the YSL Trib Two pumps. Yes, they look a slightly stripperish, but the exquisite YSL craftsmanship prevents them from looking cheap.
As always the price tag was what kept me away from taking the plunge. So I had to let them pass, but I never forgot how much I loved these booties.

Heidi Montag Loves YSL
As much as I think Heidi Montag is a desperate attention whore, I give credit where credit is due. Heidi has a great taste in shoes and she totally owned these YSL Trib Two booties when she strut the red carpet wearing a casual tank and shorts ensemble.
Bebe Tyra Croco Ankle Booties
Bebe is unbelievably exact and spot on when doing YSL knockoffs. They first had the amazing YSL Trib Two pump knockoffs which sold out in like a day and now they come up with these super hot booties. I’m in love! They look almost identical compared to the real YSL booties, don’t you agree? Not quite a steal at $189, but probably the best YSL Trib Two bootie knockoffs you’ll ever come across.

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.

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!

One year ago a fresh-faced Keira Knightley attended a photocall for her film “The Edge of Love” in Edinburgh wearing a cute floral printed blouse from Topshop (£35) which had a black contrasting collar and ruffled bib. Keira paired her Topshop blouse with a black high-waisted pencil skirt and matching black lace-up booties.
I love this look on Keira, she looks so healthy and happy and her outfit is young and fun, it would make a great wear-to-work ensemble.

Keira Knightley’s Look 4 Less
Go Shopping:
Last year these gladiator booties from Givenchy were all the rage on the red carpet. They took Hollywood by storm and sold out shortly thereafter despite the hefty price tag of $995.

Celebrities Love Givenchy
As you can see many celebrities like Cassie, Charlize Theron, Heidi Montag and Lauren London all opted for Givenchy’s open toe booties.
Boutique 9 Joleen Gladiator Sandals
I have seen countless knockoffs of these Givenchy gladiator booties, but Boutique 9′s Joleen sandals are probably the best of the bunch. They are not 100% the same, but you can clearly see the inspiration Boutique 9 has taken from the Givenchys.
Not being the cheapest option, I’d still recommend these if you want Givenchy 4 less because they look well manufactured. Available colors are black, dove grey and tan.

Steven By Steve Madden Ginn Strappy Pump
If you prefer a knockoff that’s more similar to the original Givenchys, then you’ll probably like these knockoffs from Steve by Steve Madden better.
