These bejeweled heels by Casadei are essentially jewelry for the feet. Their feminine pointed-toe shape elongates legs while showing off all your hard work at the gym. Wear them dressed up with your favorite cocktail dress or down with a pencil skirt or jeans and a crisp white button down shirt. Even though craftsmanship like this usually comes along with a steep price tag, you can also get them at a very attractive price… take a look below!

Lola Cruz 214Z30BK Pumps
This equally glam version by Lola Cruz is just as sparkly and gorgeous as the pair above. Perhaps they might be the finishing touch to that stunning party dress you’ve been eyeing or the perfect update to your LBD! Either way, invest in these heels and they will instantly become your secret weapon when you need to add a little spring to your step.

Uhm, boys and girls, you should see my face (tears falling)… I’m all choked up over this gorgeous piece of artwork. That’s right, these Gianmarco Lorenzi crystal heels are like a work of art. Stunning, unique and pricey! All together now: two-thousand-six-hundred-ninety-two dollars! Oh yeah, another trait about works of art leaves you speechless!

UPDATE (02/18/2012): Just discovered another great Gianmarco Lorenzi look-a-like. These rhinestone heels by Pleaser might not come in gold, but I prefer the red version anyway. And they’re also so much more affordable.

Italina 93403 Slingback Pumps
But cry no more! For only $45 you can have a taste of Italy (and I do mean, just a taste) with this non-crystalized version of the Giamarco Lorenzi heel by Italina. The same slingback and open platform design is here; just missing the crystals. You’ll get mesh in black or gold instead. And still have money left over to buy a nice lil’ used car!

The little black dress gets a twist for spring with the addition of delicate sleeves and a beautiful open-back detail. Think minimal accessories, upswept do, chandelier earrings and sky-high, black platform pumps. It seems Miu Miu has done it again, designing a dress that is elegant with a red carpet flair. But unless you are a celebrity, or you’ve got $4,105 to spend on a new dress, consider taking a look at the awesome look-a-like below.

ASOS Midi Dress with Embellished Sleeves
This dress by ASOS is very similar to the original with its glorious old Hollywood silhouette and gorgeous floral embroidered sleeves. The small differences in this design suggest a more youthful vibe, which is right in line with its significantly more affordable price-tag of $152.19. So, get excited because this gown will be the perfect thing to wear to your upcoming cocktail party, or to host your next sensational get-together.

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!

Giuseppe Zanotti is the man broadening my horizon in terms of shoe design. Why? Because in my mind I’ve never put crystals together with the colorblocking trend until I’ve seen the fabulous Zanotti heel below and now I feel like it might be the only way to wear crystals or colorblocking on your shoes. But oh hey, have you seen that outrageous price tag of 1.300+? Well, Signore Zanotti, sorry, but that’s not my kind of shopping budget…

Steve Madden “MASQRAID” Rhinestone Slingback Pumps
Now this is more like it! The colorblocking is different here, but the “inspiration” behind these rhinestoned Steve Madden slingbacks is pretty obvious, isn’t it? Need a fun party heel for the upcoming holidays? Might as well go for Madden’s budget version. Curious to see if more color options pop up during the next days.
