You know green is my all-time favorite color for as long as I can remember. And even though it’s not as prominent in my wardrobe as it was when I was a child, I still have a soft spot for everything green. So imagine my delight when Christian Louboutin came out with these suede ankle strap pumps this summer. It was like good meets better. What’s not so good about these? Yeah, the price obviously.

Charles Albert New 2064 Open-Toe Pumps

UPDATE (05/25/2011): Woot woot, found this amazing and super cheap Loubie look-a-like by Charles Albert. And I like the fire red color here so much more than the green! They’re faux suede, but you can’t expect too much quality for this price. So, if you’re in need for some guilt-free retail therapy…

Butter “Stanley” Ankle-Strap Pumps

Butter have obviously taken a lot cues from Monsieur Louboutin for their “Stanley” ankle strap pumps. The knotted detail, the ankle strap, the material, the color, well, they basically copied everything except for the platform which is not as high. They are quite expensive for what we’d normal post as an alternative, but if you can’t get hold of the real thing and have a little extra cash to spend these here are the next best thing. And if you happen not to be a fan of the limey color, these also come in magenta, pink and powder suede as well as gold and silver metallic leather.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Alla Peep-toe Wedges

by Celine on August 22, 2011

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

Finally! I’ve gotta tell you guys, I have been anxiously awaiting the “knock-off” version of the Alexander Wang Alla wedges for months now and judging from the amount of emails we’ve received on this shoe, I’m not the only one. These super cute wedges are not only super pricey but also super sold out. I initially saw them on Khloe Kardashian (the leopard version) and it was love at first sight. Since then I’ve been both stalking them on eBay (totally fruitless) and looking for “steal” versions (also completely pointless)…

Bebe “Alexa” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (12/16/2010): Bebe has another fantastic yet budget-friendly Alla alternative. Available in either black as shown below or leopard print (very reminiscent of Alexander Wang’s infamous Alla leopard wedges).

Joan & David “Opal” Wedge Booties

Well our patience seems to have paid off. Joan & David‘s “Opal” Wedge Booties are not the cheapest steal we’ve ever featured, but gosh, they’re good, aren’t they? In all the most important ways, these booties are an awesome knockoff of the Allas. Beautiful shape, rich color, peep-toe… half the price… now all we need is a leopard version. For now though, I’ll take the black leather or black suede.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Glove Cork Wedges

by Velicia Hill on May 21, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 21, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I’ve been in love with the Chloé brand for some time now. This may age me a bit, but I still have a few pieces that date back to the Stella McCartney era. Yes, for those of you born in the 80′s, Stella at one time was head designer for Chloé. But enough with Fashion History 101, let’s talk current events. How hot are these glove cork wedges? Um, VERY – a perfect summertime shoe. I have no clue who actually designs for Chloé now, but I can tell you, that everyone and their damn sister have purchased these wedges, because even at $795, they’re sold out! But you know what that means…

Kelsi Dagger “Clarabel” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (05/21/2011): And here’s another espadrille version of Chloè’s Glove wedges by Kelsi Dagger. The platform here is much lower, but still the same look.

Coconuts By Matisse “Babylon” Wedges

UPDATE (05/21/2011): Just came across another great Chloé alternative. These Coconuts by Matisse wedges have an espadrille platform instead of cork, but the overall look is still pretty much the same. Available in black or grey.

UPDATE (05/21/2011): UK shoe retialer Office also has a pretty similar version of the Chloé wedges named “WONDER YEARS”. These espadrilles come in black, camel and coral suede.

Riplay Kabeh-01 Wedges

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 10% OFF your order!

…We found a replica that retails for so much less and that fits like a glove (trust me, I have a pair)! What makes this steal by Riplay even more awesome, if you look real closely, it has a thong; when was the last time you saw a thong, a wedge & ankle strap all in one shoe? It is missing the cork, but for only $35.95 (after you use the discount code) plus FREE SHIPPING for a limited time, I say click now and get yourself a pair!

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Aurora Open-Toe Sandals

by Erica on May 20, 2011

This shoe definitely reminds me of bondage and who wouldn’t want some sexy yet classy bondage footwear? Especially if it’s Jimmy Choo! These shoes will look stellar with a cute pair of skinny jeans or a not so over-the-top dress to really spice up your outfit! But, if you’re not willing to pay that luxury price, or be put on a waiting list since this Jimmy Choo is sold out we have another alternative!

Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pumps

So the heel might not be as high as the Choo, and yes I will admit I do still prefer the Choo over this one (it’s my luxury love), you can still have a fun time with this Samanta “Balinda” Open-Toe Pump! And priced at $199.95, it’s definitely a way more affordable way to get the bondage look! Available in black, coral, off white, beige and brown.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Gwen Stefani’s Leather Jacket & L.A.M.B. Peep-toe Booties

by Irina on May 4, 2011

I think Gwen Stefani and Dita Von Teese are the only ladies who can wear crimson red lips while grocery shopping and not look overdressed while doing so. I am always super smitten with Gwen’s street style. Here she’s wearing black open toe ankle boots from her upcoming L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 collection, but since these won’t be available for purchase for a few more months I decided to do a look 4 less on Gwen’s casual yet super stylish outfit.
