Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Daffodile Crystal Encrusted Platform Pumps

by Juliana on February 5, 2012

If you had to pick one pair of shoes to give you that extra boost of confidence on any given day, these stunners by Christian Louboutin would be my choice. You can’t wear them and NOT have everyone looking at you. So, what will you wear with them? Will it include a pair of scene-stealing jeans or perhaps a figure-accentuating skirt? Either way, get ready to turn some heads. Wait, are you thinking: “How will I ever afford these?” It’s OK, we’ve found hope. Take a look below!

Real vs. Steal – Alejandro Ingelmo Thriller Booties

by Velicia Hill on January 10, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 10, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

OK, I’m just gonna say it: these are some badass boots! Oh boy, I bet wearing these Thriller booties by Alejandro Ingelmo makes one feel like such a naughty girl. A suede bootie bondaged by leather straps and a good 5 inches definitely makes these boots made for walking all over “him” and/or out the door. A number of naughty girls obviously felt the same way because they’re sold out! Oh well… I love the boot, just not too thrilled about the $800 price. That’s why it’s totally OK to steal the pair below – who’s the bad girl now?

Dollhouse “Vivianne” Ankle Boots

As a kid I loved a pretty dollhouse. Filled with miniature furniture and childhood fantasies. That’s why I’m so excited to add these Dollhouse “Vivianne” ankle boots to my shoe closet. A virtual copy of the Thrillers above! And in my fantasy filled world I can pretend they’re the real thing, but in reality I paid a lot less – only $33! Choose from black/black or black/leopard.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Blake Lively’s Gold Pleated Gucci Skirt & Sheer Blouse

by Irina on December 23, 2011

A few days ago Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively helped making cupcakes for a good cause at Sprinkles in NYC. The blonde beauty looked stylish and festive in a cream sheer button-down blouse which she paired with a stunning gold Gucci leather skirt from the Resort 2012 collection. I’m not sure where she was headed with the dark green Brian Atwood Maniac pumps, but since I’m really loving Blake’s upper ensemble I’m willing to overlook her shoe choice faux-pas. Check out our budget-friendly take on Blake’s look below and let us know what you think!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Daffodile Platform Pumps

by Irina on December 20, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 20, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

So let me be honest with you. At first, I kind of hated Christian Louboutin‘s Daffodile pumps. They looked too stripperish, too high, just totally OTT. However, the more I saw these extreme platform pumps being flaunted by celebs on and off the red carpet the more I started to like them. Not sure what changed my mind about these… maybe the extra few inches gained by wearing these sky-high beauties? I’m not sure, but I do know that I certainly don’t like the $995 price tag attached to these designer heels.
