Designer Fashion 4 Less – L.A.M.B. Tammy Woven Stiletto Pumps

by Irina on June 20, 2009

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.

Also available at Heels , Zappos and Chickdowntown.

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.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Christian Louboutin Armadillo Striped Satin D’Orsay Pumps

by Irina on June 6, 2009

I just stumbled upon your site and LOVE IT! I was wondering if in your research you ever came across a knockoff version of the Christian Louboutin Striped Satin d’Orsay sandal in blue. I would love to have this shoe to wear for my wedding but since I am paying for said wedding I can’t afford to drop a grand on shoes alone.
Thank you!

You might remember this reader request I got from Sarah. Back then I wasn’t able to find a knockoff in the desired blue color, so I featured the black and gold/silver ones I found. That was until today when I accidentally found a neat knockoff pair by Charlotte Russe.

Charlotte Russe Tiered Colorblock Platforms

Charlotte Russe’s Louboutin knockoffs may not be of any competition to the real Louboutins, but since they retail for $26.99 you sure can’t beat them in terms of the price! And if you enter AFF15PCT at checkout, you will get them even cheaper (15% OFF your order, offer valid until June 13, 2009)! Other available color options are black/grey, brown and fuchsia. HAPPY WEDDING, Sarah! :)

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Hervé Léger Tank Bandage Dress

by Irina on June 6, 2009

In case you lived under a rock for the last 2 years: Hervé Léger is THE new, hot thing to have. Ever since the brand has been revived by BCBG owner Max Azria, everyone from A- to D-List has been sporting one of the sexy body-con bandage dresses. I seriously lost count just how often I’ve seen Hervé Léger designs on the red carpet for the last 2 years.

Now look at this! Charlotte Russe apparently got wind of the Hervé Léger mania and decided to cash in on the craze. Their knockoff dresses sure are not as delicate as an original Hervé Léger, but at $26.99 I guess you just can’t have it all, huh?

SHHHH! Don’t tell anyone, but if you enter coupon code AFF15PCT at the checkout, you’ll get 15% OFF your order (promo code valid until June 13, 2009)!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Armadillo D’Orsay Pumps

by Irina on June 2, 2009

A few days ago, I received a reader request from Sarah who asked me if I ever came across Christian Louboutin Armadillo knockoffs:

I just stumbled upon your site and LOVE IT! I was wondering if in your research you ever came across a knockoff version of the Christian Louboutin Striped Satin d’Orsay sandal in blue. I would love to have this shoe to wear for my wedding but since I am paying for said wedding I can’t afford to drop a grand on shoes alone.
Thank you!

Dear Sarah,
I am sorry to say that I failed to find a knockoff in the desired color (see UPDATE #1 below), but I certainly DID stumble upon a few Armadillo knockoffs which you can find listed below. You could go for one of these, blow your budget and buy the originals or opt for a total different wedding shoe (some Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby knockoffs perhaps?)

J Loren D'Orsay Pumps

I accidentally found these Louboutin knockoffs a few weeks ago when I wrote about other knockoffs. These pumps by J. Loren are probably your best bet. They are almost identical with the Louboutins and their price ($65.98 down from $109) is not so bad either.

So you’re probably not going to pick a black wedding shoe (btw, the pumps also come in black satin, $62.98). But these knockoffs are also available in silver and gold (both $46.99). Yay!

UPDATE #1: Look what I found today! Another Louboutin “Armadillo” knockoff coming from Charlotte Russe! Don’t they look exactly like the Louboutins (well, except for the luscious red sole, of course)? They retail for $26.99 only and if you enter AFF15PCT at checkout, you’ll get 15% OFF your order (promo code valid until June 13, 2009. YAY!

Whoa! They also have a blue version of the knocked off Louboutin pumps which also retail for $26.99 and come in either black/grey, blue, brown or fuchsia. Another yay!

These pumps by Jessica Simpson are also pretty good Louboutin knockoffs. They retail for approx. $90 and come either in pewter or dark bronze.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Christian Louboutin Jefferson Peep-toe Platforms

by Irina on May 27, 2009

When I first saw these cute red suede Louboutin slingbacks, I instantly associated them with Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl. Being quintessentially Blair they perfectly fit her prep style and would look great with a striped cashmere sweater and cropped dark washed jeans. Browns has these Louboutins in black leather while LUISAVIAROMA is offering them in petrol.

Bebe Paige Lace Up Slingback Sandal

No need to mention that Bebe has a Loboutin knockoff just waiting for you. Their “Paige” lace up sandal retails for $139 and comes in either red or white leather. Looks pretty good for a knockoff, no?

If you can’t afford spending $140 on shoes, maybe these preppy slingbacks from Charlotte Russe will fit your bill. They come in a variety of colors including red, blue and black and cost only $26.99.

SHHHH! Don’t tell anyone, but if you enter coupon code AFF15PCT at the checkout, you’ll get 15% OFF your order (promo code valid until June 13, 2009)!
