Real vs. Steal – Current/Elliott The Stiletto Leopard Print Skinny Jeans

by Juliana on May 5, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 5, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

If there was ever a way to wear animal print and look both modern yet elegant, it’s with these faded leopard print jeans by Current/Elliott. They seem to convey a sense of confidence without being overly flashy. Wear them with a simple, solid-color top in a neutral such as white or black and keep your accessories paired down to just one standout piece such as an oversized watch or cocktail ring. Can’t think about spending $200 on a pair of printed jeans? That’s OK, we have a great option for those of us who love denim, but just want to have a little fun with this trend. Check out the details below!

Vanilla Star Leopard Print Skinny Jeans

It’s amazing what Vanilla Star for Target has to offer in the jeans category, and this low-rise pair is no exception. For only a tenth of the price, you can get the same posh designer look the celebrities simply adore. And if you’re trying to decide what shoes to wear with it, you’ll have so many options because the cropped length will work with cute sandals, wedges, pumps, or booties! Just make sure you add a little bit of a heel, as these will definitely bring all kinds of attention to your lower half.

Arden B. Leopard Print Skinny Jeans

And as if our finds could get any better, Arden B. has an awesome version as well! Although a little bit more expensive than the pair above, they are still pretty affordable and fit like a glove. The secret is always a little bit of stretch in the fabric, and what a difference it makes! So if these are exactly the jeans you’ve been dreaming of, grab your sexiest heels and get ready to roar.

Real vs. Steal – Elizabeth and James Sequined Sweatshirt

by Erica on February 25, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 25, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

There’s something really fun about this household heather grey sweatshirt by Elizabeth and James gone glam. Yes, I realize it’s essentially a sweatshirt but look at it! I love it with a pair of fitted jeans, however I wouldn’t necessarily pair it with your old chucks that have been rotting in the back of your closet. Pair it with a nice pair of black pumps to bring out more of a glam look rather than a slouchy “I haven’t had my first cup of coffee“-look that Dakota Fanning is sporting. So, if $312 is a bit steep for you we have another great solution!

Theme Sequin Sweater

UPDATE (11/14/2011): Ten months after posting the first steal, I’ve came across another great E&J sequin sweater look-a-like by Theme. Although significantly darker than the original I think it’s still a great alternative and a lot cheaper, too!

Ella Moss “Majesty” Sequin Sweatshirt Top

I think the Ella Moss version for less than $100 fits the bill! It’s almost exactly the same look besides a little bit of difference in sleeve length and it comes in grey or black. I would have to say this Ella Moss sequined sweatshirt is superb in following the look and not hurting our wallets.

Real vs. Steal – Joie Leo Cut-out Flat Sandals

by Erica on February 11, 2011

I can’t hardly wait for the sun to come out! These shoes are adorable and I love the cutout design. Almost reminds me of a crochet pattern from the Victorian era. I would love to see this shoe on a leisurely pursuit with a pair of cute cut-off shorts and a fitted tank and let the shoes do all the talking. And since it’s a neutral color the shoe can go with almost anything… I’m sure they’re comfortable as well since Joie is known for their luxury fabrics… Priced at $255, if this doesn’t quite match your budget here is a second option…

Steve Madden “PAIIGGE” Sandals

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “SMFREESHIP” to get free shipping on your order!

This Steve Madden version is almost an exact replica of the Joie shoe! Plus it’s only $69.95 and it comes in a variety of colors (bone, blush, black, cognac, mustard & teal) just in case you weren’t fond of the elephant leather the Joie comes in! Definitely a steal! Hopefully it’s just as comfortable as the Joie version, too!

Real vs. Steal – Fendi Jardin Suede Platform Pumps

by Velicia Hill on October 5, 2010

DISCLAIMER: I may be a little biased in writing this post. Why? Because I LOVE Fendi! My obsession began back in the day when I was modeling and I’m still feigning after everything Karl Lagerfeld and the Fendi sisters design. My first passion was for their delicious baguette bags (I have 6), now it’s their shoes. Especially this Jardin pump. If my French serves me correctly, jardin translates to garden in English and that’s how I’d feel if I had these – in a virtual Garden of Eden!

Anne Michelle Essence-35 Platform Pumps

This inspired version by Anne Michelle is really a great buy. But you won’t get the deep grey color nor the double platform. Consolation prize – you get to save A LOT of money!

Nine West “Expoze” Pumps

Nine West will “expoze” you to this great pump as well – just at a higher price. But their version is of a darker grey with an extra purple stripe. And yet, still missing that key design element of the double platform. Personally, I wish someone had chosen to do this in the burgundy suede (so much hotter). But I guess if you wanna go cheap, you can’t be choosy!

Runway to Real Way – Alexander Wang S/S 2010

by Vanessa on July 28, 2010

Runways are styled for pictures, people are styled for living. So, understandably, it sometimes takes a little tweaking to get one to live in the other’s world. This is a perfect example. Alexander Wang has proven that a little leopard goes with everything, but in our case the shorter and more structured jacket will create a look worthy of a few thumbed up Facebook photos.
