Nude Shoes for Dark Skinned Girls

by Irina on April 26, 2010

After our post featuring Nude Shoes for Under $100 we received a request from Ann who wanted us to find nude pumps for dark skinned women. I know our first post didn’t cater to every skin tone under the sun and since there are a lot of not-so-pale girls à la Dita von Teese, here’s our take on great nude shoes (most are under $100) for all our sunkissed & naturally dark skinned readers. Enjoy!

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Rivet Sandals

by Celine on April 15, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 15, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Do you guys remember when Sex and the City the movie came out and everyone went gaga (including myself) for Carrie’s Dior gladiator sandals? Those heels were amazing. I love that look of a pump with studs or embellishment; they’re like jewels for your feet. These Miu Miu Rivet sandals are equally as awe-inspiring. I’m such a fan of the deep chestnut color and the brushed silver studs. They are currently on sale right now for $320 (retail price: $795), but even that is still out of my budget. So we began the search for a cheaper version.

Dolce Vita “Saber” Peep-Toe Pumps

Vince Camuto “Mabel” Sandals

Look at these sandals. Now scroll back up to the Miu Mius. Aside from the color and maybe a *slightly* lower heel, can you see any discrepancies? I can’t. Vince Camuto has created an amazing knock-off of the Miu Mius. They have almost every detail down perfectly – including the stud swirls! At about half the SALE price of the originals, I say these are a must have. Also available in black.

AmiClubWear Peep Toe Stud Heels

Now if you’re looking for a super affordable version of the Miu Miu Rivet sandals, why not try these heels by AmiClubWear? At $25.99 they’re lacking some of the pretty, delicate details that the original pair have but they’re still very cute and that 5 inch heel will make your legs look miles long. If you’re checking out these shoes on the retailer’s site, make sure to click on the thumbnail where we see the model’s legs. The other pics show a slightly distorted image. These are also available in black, cream and grey but act quickly as only limited sizes are left.

New Look Studded Cut Out Platforms

UK retailer, New Look, has offered up a slightly more streamlined pair of platform pumps. The studs are there but they left out the swirly patterns. Still, it’s pretty clear where they pulled their inspiration from – the silhouette is virtually identical to the Miu Mius. The price, however, is not. These will only set you back about $34 or £25. Available both in the black, pictured here, and cream.

Somehow, someway, Victoria Beckham manages to wake up every morning and look the picture of perfection. There’s a word us jealous girls call women like that. Just kidding. Sort of. Victoria’s form fitting dresses always scream sophistication and her endless supply of accessories are the ultimate in glamour. When she ventured into her own clothing line, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous considering we’ve seen so many of those go awry with other multi-tasking celebs. Victoria did not disappoint with a line that embodies every bit of her own class and style. Here she wore a show stopping candy apple red dress from her own collection, paired with a perfect color match in Christian Louboutin Rolando pumps.

ASOS Ponti-Roma Tailored Pencil Dress

Since Victoria’s dress is from Spring 2009, that exact style ship has sailed, but I’m sure your mama told you that where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’m pretty sure that saying came from women who cannot rest until they’ve created the perfect fashion look they’ve been lusting after – just like the ladies at InTheirCloset. Now we can rest because ASOS has given us a dress that gets the job done and Dolce Vita‘s Madison pumps are almost an exact match. The best part? The entire look comes in for under $200.
