Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti I10061 Crystal Wedge Platform Sandals

by Roseanne on January 4, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 4, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Due to my rather petite frame and my admiration of high heels, I often look for a wedge heel in order to add height and at the same time provide comfort. The Giuseppe Zanotti I10061 Crystal Wedge Platform Sandals are the ultimate combination of style and support. They are ornamented with luminescent crystals, appearing of different hues at every angle. These shoes are extremely versatile as they can be worn with day or evening wear, and accessorized with some jewelry or serve to be a solitary statement piece. But for $624.19, they are rather unaffordable and truly a very large investment. Check out the alluring look-a-like below.

Real vs. Steal – Tory Burch Carla Beaded Sandals

by Velicia Hill on November 2, 2011

First a little gossip. Did you know that Tory Burch is dating one of the pioneers of hip hop? Yep. Who knew? Gosh, I do love a woman with an edge. Just when I thought I could put Miss Tory in a box, she goes and surprises me. Not only with her men choices, but with her edgy Carla sandal as well. And look, no signature logo emblazoned across this heel anywhere. Well, you won’t actually get to see it because this beauty is sold out – at $495 no less. But we did find a pretty impressive steal below.

Liliana Candela-17 T-Strap Sandals

As the head buyer for my own company, I saw this heel at Liliana, placed the order then canceled. Who knew it was a Tory Burch knockoff? A pretty good & cheap knockoff at that – only $40! Between me and you, the bronze/gold color is the best. Enjoy ITC readers in a variety of colors: black, pewter and bronze/gold.

Real vs. Steal – Burberry Buckled Leather Platform Sandals

by Irina on September 22, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

For a couple seasons now Burberry has found quite a bit of a Fanboy in me. Christopher Bailey sure knows how to amaze me collection after collection. I’m really loving these buckled platforms here, they’re tough but sexy and would work equally well with either a casual outfit à la Ciara or dressed up with a cocktail dress and some neat statement jewelry. But even the sale price of $450 is way too high to even think of potential outfit pairings…

Liliana “Pollo” Sandals

But thanks to Liliana you can get an almost identical look for under $40. Sure, they don’t even come close to the quality of the real Burberry heels and also they’re faux leather, but if you’re mainly interested in the visual similarity, these are currently your best bet. Available in black, tan & white.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Nitoinimoi Bandage Ankle Boots

by Irina on September 16, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 16, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

If I had to choose my favorite Louboutin of 2009 I think the “Nitoinimoi” bandage ankle bootie below would definitely be up for consideration. There are not enough words to describe how much I love these. However, there is also not enough cash in my wallet to buy these as well.

Anne Michelle Addiction 55 Buckled Booties

Once again Anne Michelle comes to the rescue! Their “Nitoinimoi” knockoff is almost a 1:1 copy of the real deal. The only differences are the missing red sole and the pointed toe which is square on the originals. Everything else from the shape to the bandages and the buckles looks identical. And they’re so inexpensive, too! Only $44. Such a great deal, gotta love LuLu*s.

Boutique 9 “Siaka” Ankle Boots

I know these boots by Boutique 9 are more of an “inspired-by” kind rather than a complete rip-off, but I still think they fit the bill for a great Louboutin alternative. I’m also sort of in love with them even though they are not a steal at $229. Also available in brown.

Real vs. Steal – Louise Goldin for Topshop Spiked Pumps

by Velicia Hill on August 17, 2011

From spiked hair to spiked drinks – I’m your girl! And now a nice spiked pump. What more can a girl ask for? Well, a much cheaper price Ms. Louise Goldin would be nice. Gosh, those darn pounds will getcha every time. But luckily we discovered a rather impressive alternative on this side of the Atlantic… for a lot less!

Liliana “Angelina” Spiked Pumps

I think we have a Guardian Angel. OK, maybe more like a beautiful friend named Angelina, courtesy of Liliana shoes. I love Liliana for this very reason. They really know how to make (shoe) dreams come true without breaking the bank! Not to mention, they granted our wishes by giving us this pretty spiked $40 heel in 4 colors: black, brown, cream and red faux suede. Hmmmm… I wonder if they could make us as beautiful as Angelina Jolie by wearing these pumps?
