Summer Trend Watch 2010 – Animal Print Heels

by Vahni on June 4, 2010

Animal prints. They can be a dangerous thing for women; nothing spells C-R-A-Z-Y like too much print on your person or in your house. But sometimes you can’t blame a girl for not being able to get enough, because all that tiger, and zebra, and cheetah…oh my! There’s just something about it that makes you feel exotic and wild.

Animal Print Heels – Designer Edition

You know here at InTheirCloset, we love you ladies, and we want to help all of you put your best foot forward. Especially one shod in a Wang Alla wedge—the only exception to the one print, one piece rule. Since prints are quite potent, the easiest way to ensure sartorial success is to limit that zip of zebra to your shoes.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Jill Studded Jelly Flats

by Celine on May 26, 2010

Let me be upfront about this. I am not a flats girl. The lowest heel I wear is probably a 1 inch wedge. That being said, I will often look around me, whilst out, and feel envious of all the girls who are seemingly floating on air in their cute flats. While they may not be for me, I can admit that they are a zillion times more practical than high heels and can often be just as cute. Take these Jimmy Choo Jill Studded Jelly Flats, for instance. Instead of wearing a pair of ratty old flip flops to the beach, how much cuter would it be to strut waterside in a breezy cover-up and these studded beauties? Unfortunately there is no way I’m going to spend $235 on jellies. Nope, ain’t gonna happen.

Nina “Duffy” Jelly Flats

$39.95. You see, that’s what jellies should cost (I don’t know about you, but as a kid I always wore my pink jellies into the water). Besides the name attached, I’m really not seeing why the Jimmy Choo jellies should cost a whopping $200 more than these Nina “Duffy” flats. See-through, bling, cut-out sides, all the details are there. Now go frolic happily by the pool, knowing you saved yourself a wad of cash.

ALDO “Rusteika” Jelly Flats

If you’re looking to have the blingiest (yes, I just made that up) feet on the block, why not consider these “Rusteika” jelly flats by ALDO? Again, these are virtually identical to the Choos for a fraction of the cost. Add a bright coral pedicure and a fruity drink with an umbrella, and you’re well on your way to Summer fun.

Chinese Laundry “Sweet Revenge” Jelly Flats

I don’t know if you guys have fully caught on yet, but I am now on my third “steal” version of the Choo jellies. To me that says these flats are fairly easy to copy. So why would you spend a boatload of money on them?! These Chinese Laundry “Sweet Revenge” jelly flats have multi-color bling and that means more fun for your feet. Same shape and feel as the originals but much, much cheaper.

Real vs. Steal – Casadei 3114 Satin Platform Pumps

by Celine on May 18, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 18, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Are you guys familiar with the Italian shoe designer, “Casadei“? I wasn’t either until recently, when I came across a stunning pair of their platform pumps. They were very old Hollywood glamour meets modern day woman and I was immediately a fan. Even though many of their heels measure at least 5 inches, I’ve heard only wonderful things about their level of comfort. I am particularly enamoured with Casadei’s “3114″ Satin Platform Pumps. There’s not a whole lot going on with this shoe, besides classic construction, but I think you’ll agree that these would be a perfect bridal pump, among other things. Unfortunately, not sure if you caught a glance at their retail price, but that is in fact a 9 before the 50. Yes, they’re currently on sale, but that’s still a whole lotta dough.

Nina “Papina” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

RSVP “Maison” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

Even though I often wax poetic on the beauty of a 5 inch heel, let’s be honest: if you have to wear the shoes ALL night, a 4 incher is probably a better choice. That’s why I love these RSVP “Maison” pumps we found. They are almost identical to the Casadei originals, but the heel looks way more manageable, as does the price. These are available in a whopping 6 colors, which means there’s a shoe for every occasion, and every girl.

ALDO “Orpin” Peep-toe Pumps

ALDO‘s “Orpin” pump is dressed in suede and not satin but otherwise all the classic details are there to make this a knockout shoe (as well as a darn good knockoff). Taupe shoes are huge for Spring but I’m especially in love with the turquoise color – they would look spectacular with any LBD. Available in taupe, coral or turquoise suede.

Nude Shoes Under $100!

by Irina on March 30, 2010

We’ve been getting quite a few requests lately to do a post on affordable nude shoes. It’s a trend I have first seen emerging on the red carpet about 2 years ago. Eva Longoria seems to be pioneering this trend as she owns a multitude of nude heels. From simple Louboutin pumps to luscious champagne colored satin evening sandals we can regularly see Eva sporting nude footwear on and off the red carpet. And who can blame her? It’s probably as flattering as a shoe trend can be because nude shoes naturally elongate your legs and can be worn with almost any outfit either dressed up or down.

We’ve made it our mission to find the best nude heels for under $100 and I’m really satisfied with how many fabulous nude shoes are currently on the market for a budget-friendly price. Now that spring has finally come and temperatures are rising, it’s time to lighten up our wardrobes… starting with our shoes! Enjoy our finds and let us know whether or not you like this trend or if you already have a pair of nude heels in your closet.
