Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Très Décolleté Ankle Strap Pumps

by Velicia Hill on January 19, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 19, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I wonder how Christian (yes, in my mind, him & I are on first name basis ;-) ) must feel, knowing that a lot of the shoes on the market are direct unabashed, unapologetic copies of his designs? And this bi-color heel is no exception. I’m gonna guess he isn’t feeling too bad because even if you could afford the $695 for this adorable (perfect for the office) ankle-strap, it’s sold out. But don’t fret; as I mentioned above, this heel too was knocked off.

Charles David “Clarissa” Ankle Strap Pumps

UPDATE (01/19/2012): Just came across another great Louboutin look-a-like with a lower heel by Charles David. These are available in red/black, taupe/black and turquoise/black patent.

Ivanka Trump “Marika” Sandals

This will probably sound cliche’, but I have only one thing to say to the designing team at Ivanka Trump: “You’re fired!” Seriously, I love a good bargain, but this outright laziness and lack of creativity is starting to really perplex me. I expected more from a celebrity endorsed line (that’s why I love Jessica Simpson’s line). BUT, if you could care less about the lack of originality, then this is a great imitation for you. I’ll just keep my (unsolicited) opinions to myself… this time. ;-)

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.

Gianni Bini “Vanity” Studded Flats

UPDATE (05/17/2011): Here’s another though not quite as spot-on Louboutin spiked alternative coming from Gianni Bini. Available in black or nude.

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.

UPDATE (06/14/2010): Found one more subdued Big Kiss knockoff by daniblack.

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.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Halle Berry’s Louboutin Leopard Espadrilles

by Erica on April 29, 2011

I think it can be said that sometimes you just need a little bit of leopard in your life; because leopard can make even the most drab of outfits look ultra fabulous! To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Halle Berry‘s overly blousy top, but she does have a way of pulling off just about anything! So you want this look 4 less and look just as fabulous if not more? Check out Charles David’s “Kini” leopard espadrille wedges! I actually like these wedges a little more because you get more height! But let us know what you think.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Very Privé Cork Platform Pumps

by Celine on May 15, 2010

I think I may have cried a little on the inside when I saw these pumps (don’t worry, there’s a happy ending – keep reading). To me, these Christian Louboutin heels are pretty darn close to perfection. I love the juxtaposition of natural cork with the flecks of gold. Absolutely stunning. I want these, I want these, I want these. Not surprisingly these are sold out (and too rich for my blood anyway!).

Charles David “Squeeze” Peep-toe Pumps

Thank you, Charles David, you have made me a happy woman. These “Squeeze” pumps are clearly inspired (OK, fine, exact knockoffs) of the Very Privé Cork Platform pumps. A classic shape in a unique material with a flash of sparkle. Yup, perfection. See, I told you there’d be a happy ending.
