Red pumps – every woman should have at least one pair of red pumps in her closet. Slip them on and you’ll have an instantly sexed up outfit. This red patent Valentino bow peep-toe pump is one of the most lustworthy shoes I’ve seen in a while. I adore everything about it. The vibrant color, the heel and of course the cute big bow on the vamp. It’s a great mix between sexy (red color) and elegant (bow). If you opt for the original, it will set you back $645.

Paris Hilton Senorita D’Orsay Pumps

Thanks to Paris Hilton and her copycat designer team you can now buy a very cute and super similar Valentino bow pump version for a wholet lot less. Don’t they look awesome for knockoffs? I’m kind of in love with them (mostly because of the stolen design and most importantly – the price). The Valentino look-a-likes are available in a bunch of different colors & uppers and will cost you $95.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Bow Mary Jane Pumps

by Roseanne on December 28, 2011

Ms. Miuccia is really making a statement with the flared heel and it seems that this sculpted design is a hit with many celebrities. Similar to a previous post on the Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps, these Miu Miu Bow Mary Jane Pumps follow a very similar design with the addition of the bow and the mary jane strap. I actually really like these, mainly because of the feminine yet edgy kind of look. I definitely wouldn’t mind owning a pair, but that would mean living in the dark with no heat or water. In my case, check out a more affordable look-a-like below.

Lori’s “Bamma” Bow Platform Pumps

While the Lori’s “Bamma” Bow Platform Pumps aren’t Miu Miu, if you’re looking for a look-a-like then you have found it. And the best part is that for $99.99 you can have spot-on Miu Miu look. There is only a minor difference, and that would be the added sheen, but nonetheless these are true showstoppers. At a first glance, I wasn’t really into the beige color but it grew on me. Personally, I really like the plum purple; there’s just a certain something to it that I can’t really pinpoint.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Crystal Versailles Bow Satin Pumps

by Roseanne on December 19, 2011

The Valentino “Crystal Versailles” Bow Satin Pumps definitely have a wow factor. They feature a bow across the vamp which is super glam and feminine and I adore the blush satin. With New Year’s coming around the corner, I think these would definitely spice up any ensemble. I love everything about these pumps, from the embellishments to the bow; these are must for shoe lovers. Plus, the towering heel makes my heart melt. If only I had $1.195. But without a doubt, these pumps have made my fantasy wish list.

ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps

For a more realistic option, the ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps are pretty much spot-on with the design. When I first saw these, I had scroll back up to Valentino pumps to make sure that they weren’t the same shoe. From the embellishments, coloring, and bow detailing, these pumps mirror the ones by Valentino. This steal is a fantastic budget-conscious version at $139.99.

What celebrity doesn’t love their Louboutins? Especially when they’re bright, fun, and have lots of girly bows to make you feel extra feminine! I LOVE how Naya Rivera paired her Loubies with a pair of jeans and a cute striped blazer! Definitely puts a lot of pizazz to her outfit! Don’t want to dish out the $1.200 for these heels? No problem as we’ve got an excellent steal for you!

OK, first off, this shoe comes in black suede, blush and magenta! Second, this Steve Madden version has a great wooden platform that I’m a big fan of! Granted, I still think the Louboutins are FAB, but if you’re just not willing to dish out the necessary $1.200 to make them yours, at $129.95, I think these Maddens here are the next best thing. There’s also a satin version of this shoe available called “FAAME” and it’s available in either black or champagne satin at Steve Maddencj or Onlineshoes.comls.

Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

by Irina on August 30, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 30, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Kitten heels and pointed toes are usually NOT what turns me on about a shoe, but strange enough I think it totally works on these red suede kitten pumps by Isabel Marant. Maybe it’s the lavishly tied bow or the red suede or maybe that they look so French. But I do like these. A lot. Others, including a flood of Hollywood celebs, seem to favor these heels as well since the Poppy pumps have sold out rather quickly online. I especially like how Hilary Duff wore these with a grey tank and rolled up skinny jeans.
