Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti Special Edition Crystal Strap Sandals

by Irina on December 29, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 15, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

I loved Giuseppe Zanotti‘s Special Edition platforms sandals right from the start when I first spotted them on Heidi Klum’s feet back in April. They are so fierce & so incredibly high (I probably couldn’t even walk in these mega platforms, but still). These are truly some special heels! They originally retailed for $1.385 in black or gold. The gold version has since sold out, but the black one is now on sale for 30% less.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Satin Diamanté Platform Sandals

by Irina on December 4, 2009

I currently have an obsessive love affair with the color cobalt blue and I find myself putting everything blue I come across on my wish list. Check out this post I wrote on our sister blog Profashionelle where I show some of my cobalt blue obsessions. These crystal embellished Jimmy Choos will go right onto my christmas wish list. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone being rich enough to buy these for me.

Miss Me Garnet-12 Sandals

Although not available in the adorable cobalt blue color, these sandals by Miss Me will give you the identical look of the Jimmy Choos without the hefty price tag. I just love the vibrant red color and the fact that you can’t spot one single difference between these two pairs (except QUALITY of course). The heels come in an array of 4 colors including red (pictured), black, dusty pink and light gold.

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Jimmy Choo Atlas Strappy Sandals

by Irina on July 22, 2009

Every woman should have at least one pair of strappy stiletto sandals in every basic color (like black, white, red, nude) because a strappy sandal makes a woman’s feet look instantly sexy. It sure isn’t easy walking around in high stiletto heels without looking like a squint-eyed, drunk stork, but once you have the hang of it, you’ll agree that it very well is worth the effort and pain. The Jimmy Choo sandals below would be a great investment if you are looking for high quality shoes.

Steve Madden SELLENA Strappy Sandals

Steve Madden’s Jimmy Choo Atlas interpretation is my favorite in terms of price & look. The strappy sandals come very close to the original Choos not only in shape, but also color. If you want a rather classic color, you can purchase them in black as well.

Carlos By Carlos Santana Candy Sandal

I’m not so fond of the snakeskin print of these Jimmy Choo knockoffs by Carlos Santana, but the shape is almost identical, so I thought I’d mention them.

Miss Me Garnet Strappy Sandal

Another great knockoff alternative, although not available in a taupe or nude color, comes from Miss Me. The strappy sandals can be purchased for around $40 in either black, red, teal or fuchsia.
