Wow! I can’t really describe these Christian Louboutin Duvette Metallic and Patent-Leather Pumps in any other way. Far away from demure, these pumps are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and spark nostalgia within me. There is something special about these pumps that I can’t quite get a grasp of. The cutouts embossed with gold truly bring luxury to the table, and as usual the sophistication of this shoe is what makes Louboutin so iconic. If you’re as head over heels for these pumps as I am, than the steal below is simply a must see!

Ivanka Trump “Gurdian” Pumps

Ivanka Trump is really becoming the superwoman of this century, adding another occupation to her résumé. But I have to her immense credit because I love the “Gurdian” Pumps. The snakeskin pattern on the golden panels really adds a nice flair and shows her take on this unique design. These pumps are faux replication at its best and for $94.99 are worth every penny.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vamp Platform Sandals

What is it about pink platforms in the wintertime that makes me smile? Aahhh, the perfect cure for the winter blues (well… besides a good hot toddy)! And Jimmy Choo‘s “Vamp” is making me feel all warm and tingly. But what’s scaring me is the shocking price tag – $750, really? OK, that won’t be happening this winter or the next; which is why the steal below will be just fine.

Nine West “Krysten” Sandals

UPDATE (02/13/2012): Although the heel of this Nine West shoe is not as elegant as on the real deal, it still very much mimics the Jimmy Choo design, doesn’t it?

Dune “Gwnyeth D” Strappy Sandals

It’s cold outside, but I’m dreaming of sand dunes. Well, actually I’m daydreaming about “Gwnyeth D” by Dune. So cute, so pink & so affordable! But if you aren’t trying to emulate Barbie by wearing pink heels, then you’re in luck. You can get this heel in black, plum and teal satin as well as black/taupe glitter. Hot toddy anyone?

So who would’ve thought polka dots could be that sexy? Apparently, Stella McCartney did, that’s why she gave us plenty of beautiful fitted dresses with sheer polka dot sleeves for Fall 2011. I love the risqué character of the sheer inlays combined with the playfulness of the polka dots. How friggin’ hot does Kate Winslet look in that dress? But whoah, more than $2k for that bit of dress? Sorry hun, I’m afraid that ain’t quite my price league.

Rare Spot Mesh Bodycon Dress

I would’ve have loved if this Stella McCartney look-a-like by Rare would be a bit longer, but at $80 I won’t complain. Same look but huge price difference!

Magazine covers rarely catch my eye these days, but when I saw Vanity Fair’s August 2011 cover I was instantly glued to the screen. Emma Stone is looking drop dead gorgeous here in a red striped bikini, curly blond waves and bold red lips. What a beautiful retro shot! Bonus: her Marc by Marc Jacobs bikini isn’t all that expensive.

Girls, never have I wanted to spend a thousand dollars so badly; but these lil bejeweled suckers are calling my name and begging for all my money! Wow… the details, the adornments, oh the crystal trail I’d blaze in these! Why Lord, must I be so responsible and value shelter, food and electricity so, that I absolutely refuse to go in debt or be homeless for shoes – damn you, Giuseppe Zanotti! :)

Anne Michelle Maneater-37 Sandals

Well, well, well – look what we have here. The working girl’s (W2 form) version of Giuseppe’s E00232. Leave it to Anne Michelle and the folks at AmiClubWear to give us these maneaters (love the name) and to make them so affordable. These cuties are only $31.80! Seriously, at this price, I’d buy them in every color and still be able to eat (even out), pay all my bills and not have to read by candlelight. ;)
