Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Imperiale Platform Pumps
Yves Saint Laurent will be always one of my favorite high fashion labels. They belong to fashion much like the Eiffel Towel belongs to Paris. Where would be without this everlasting French house of delicate fashion? In 100 years from now on most designers which are being hyped right now will be long forgotten, but I’m sure YSL will be considered iconic for its cultural and aesthetic influence in our era. And rightfully so. Evidence A: see below.

Dolce Vita “April” Platform Pumps
If you want the same style without breaking the bank, try these suede platforms by Dolce Vita which are dead ringers for the YSL Imperiale pumps. Not exactly a steal at ~$160, but still a whole lotta cheaper than the original Yves Saint Laurent heels. Also available in taupe suede and navy leather.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Rolando Pumps
UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 04, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.
Of all the classic Louboutin styles that are out there, I love the “Rolando” pumps the most. They are perfect in every aspect. I love the almond shaped toe, the elegant heel and the hidden platform which equals extra comfort! L.O.V.E.

Mixx Laura 01 Hot Hidden Platform Pumps
UPDATE (03/04/2010): I absolutely love these faux suede pumps by Mixx. And they’re pretty light on the budget, too. A few sizes are already gone, so if you like them, be fast!

Dolce Vita “Madison” Pumps
Louboutins are not easy to knock off and I have searched very loooong before I found these stunning Louboutin look-a-likes by Dolce Vita. They miss the red sole, but everything else is almost identical. The “Madison” pumps come in black and nude patent (such a cute color!), but if you prefer a matte version they are also available in an array of different colors and variations.
