The moment I saw these heels by Proenza Schouler I was truly, madly, deeply in love. This is what I consider art & creativity! I adore everything about these shoes, especially the segmented heel which gives these lustworthy creations an architectural look. Pure genius!

Michael Antonio “Miller” Zip Ankle Booties
If you are looking for a more affordable version of the zippered Proenza Schouler booties, Michael Antonio has a pair of ankle boots that looks just like the ones above. I hear you saying: “What? Where’s the segmented heel?” Well, unfortunately, they – for some reason – omitted that part which is a shame because it’s the heel that makes those shoes stand out most to me.
My guess is that the construction of such a complicated heel would’ve probably resulted in a signifant raise in production costs, so in order to keep prices low, they decided to skip that part and simply replaced it with a standard heel. Too bad! The rest of the style however is pretty identical compared to the original booties, so if you have some extra room in your closet, feel free to indulge in these.

Have you already started shopping for fall already? Crazy how fast summer went by, huh? As much as I love summer and all the nice features attached to it (e.g. warm weather, beach days & floaty summer dresses) I am just as much looking forward to fall. I love autumn weather, cozying up in warm wool coats and looking très chic in suede boots. The Christian Louboutin boots below would be a great addition to my shoe closet, but paying more than 1k for shoes does not really fit in my budget.

Michael Antonio “Macey” Ankle Booties
These ankle booties by Michael Antonio instantly reminded me of the Louboutin ankle boots though the buckle on these does vary slightly. The shape and overall look however is clearly inspired by the Loubies. Best thing about these booties here is that they are very budget-friendly at $54.95 and they come in 5 different colors including black leather (shown below), black suede, red suede, grey suede (my favorite!) and tan suede. If you haven’t invested in a good pair of shoes suitable for autumn weather, you might consider buying these.

Christian Louboutin never fails to impress. My latest obsessions are these black patent platform ankle boots below. They are perfection! The shiny leather, the staggering sky-high heel, the chunky platform – I adore EVERYTHING about. Well, everything except for the price.

Michael Antonio “McKey” Platform Ankle Booties
I was ecstatic to find a knockoff of these Louboutin booties and love Michael Antonio’s “inspired” version for an array of reasons: 1.) it’s an almost exact match to the Loubies, 2.) it’s a style I would personally wear to death and 3.) being priced at just $54.95 it’s super affordable. Oh… and if you like a different color or fabric, the booties come in a total of 6 different versions including grey, black, brown and purple suede as well as black patent and black faux leather.

I really wish I could afford Yves Saint Laurent shoes. I’m not in love with every of their shoes, but NEARLY all of them. The platform sandal below is automatically on my wishlist just because it has the same heel and platform as the infamous YSL Tribute platforms and I absolutely adored these.

Michael Antonio “Silana” Sandals
Aren’t these YSL knockoffs by Michael Antonio just awesome? They look super similar to the original Yves Saint Laurents, the heel doesn’t look cheap and the platform not tacky. The best thing however is that these sweet knockoffs retail for affordable $49.95! Awesome, right? I love these and they are also available in silver and gold as well. Get them before they’re gone!

Steve Madden’s YSL inspired version looks okay, but I’m really not digging the super chunky brownish platform and heel. Available in a multitude of colors (just click on some of the other retailer links below).
