It takes a lot these days to get me excited over a knockoff, but today was one of those days. Finding a budget-friendly Alexander McQueen look-a-like is ALWAYS a happy day in my book. McQueen is a brilliant talent and I’ve been in love with these heart-shaped peep-toes for what feels like forever now. But never was I lucky enough to find anything similar looking and I’ve given up hope to do so a long time ago. It was just in time that I stumbled upon a great pair of McQueen knockoffs that would make any Valentine’s Day outfit pop!

Frederick’s Heart Peep-Toe Patent Pumps
I discovered these McQueen look-a-likes by Frederick’s through the fab blog The Look 4 Less and thought these pumps were too good not to share. They look almost identical and come in three gorgeous colors and the best thing – they’re only $39! Yup! No joke, ladies. I guess this is what it feels like being in heaven… in shoe heaven that is. You could compliment the cuteness of these pumps with a romantic floral dress -OR- take the edgy route à la Taylor and don them with a micro LBD and black sheer tights. Just make sure not to pass up on these. Get your pair before it’s too late!

I usually don’t fall for girly girl stuff, but these jelly slingbacks by Melissa are just too darn cute. What’s not to love? The pastel candy color reminds me of cupcakes, the cute heart makes my inner 8 year old swoon and the 2 1/2″ heel is a welcome change from the 4″-5″ inch stilettos that usually grace my feet.

Office “Aaliyahs Heart” Flats
More inspired by than a blatant knockoff these ballet flats by Office are a cute interpretation of the Melissa slingbacks and a great alternative for those who like the style, but prefer a flat shoe. Priced at £45 ($75) these are also only half the price of the originals. Other color options include an all black and a pink/blue version.

This dress by Marc Jacobs may be already a few seasons old (Resort 2009 to be exact), but that doesn’t take away from its beauty. I remember falling in love with this one shouldered silk dress back in 2008 when I first saw it on Victoria Beckham who wore it to the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards (the Oscars for fashion designers).

Jovonna Pure Silk Heart Cut Out Dress
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, try this dress by Jovonna. It isn’t one-shouldered and doesn’t have a black satin sash, but the heart print is almost identical and it’s also made of 100% silk like the Marc Jacobs dress. A great dress for the perfect holiday outfit.
