Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti I10202 Crystallized Colorblock Platform Slingbacks

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…

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.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Buckled Ski Boots

So who’s up for some hot bootie action today? I know I am. Especially if it’s such a gorgeous little thing such as the Alexander McQueen buckled beauty below. Sophistication meets rocker chic – what a lovely symbiosis! But, oooh, have I mentioned these come with a price tag of $1.495 and are also nowhere to get hold of by now?

Real vs. Steal – Casadei 6122 Strappy Platform Sandals

by Irina on September 26, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 26, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I really didn’t think I would love these 70′s platform sandals by Casadei as much as I do. You know I’m usually not the first one to queue for a pair of hot pink pair of shoes, especially when they have so many 70′s fashion references, but in the case of these Casadei heels there’s just something so intriguing about them that I can’t help but love them! Check out the lovely Carolina from Fashionsquad wearing these showstoppers below. So gorge!

Jessica Simpson “Pai” Strappy Platform Sandals

Too bad there’s no pink version of Jessica Simpson‘s Casadei dupe named “Pai”. But I do love the black and the teal suede color. They’re almost 100% identical compared to the originals and the price is pretty sweet, too! Only $98.
