It takes a lot these days to get me excited over a knockoff, but today was one of those days. Finding a budget-friendly Alexander McQueen look-a-like is ALWAYS a happy day in my book. McQueen is a brilliant talent and I’ve been in love with these heart-shaped peep-toes for what feels like forever now. But never was I lucky enough to find anything similar looking and I’ve given up hope to do so a long time ago. It was just in time that I stumbled upon a great pair of McQueen knockoffs that would make any Valentine’s Day outfit pop!

Frederick’s Heart Peep-Toe Patent Pumps
I discovered these McQueen look-a-likes by Frederick’s through the fab blog The Look 4 Less and thought these pumps were too good not to share. They look almost identical and come in three gorgeous colors and the best thing – they’re only $39! Yup! No joke, ladies. I guess this is what it feels like being in heaven… in shoe heaven that is. You could compliment the cuteness of these pumps with a romantic floral dress -OR- take the edgy route à la Taylor and don them with a micro LBD and black sheer tights. Just make sure not to pass up on these. Get your pair before it’s too late!

I think my heart skipped a beat when I first saw these. Anyone that knows me know that my two favorite colors are gray and black; gray and black together? Perfection. I love the luxe meets rocker feel of these Rock & Republic pumps. The cutouts are like jewelry for your feet and the platform means that 4-inch plus heel is actually manageable. At around $250, these aren’t the most expensive shoes we’ve featured, however I don’t know about you but I can’t really drop 1/4 of a grand on a pair of shoes every time I fall in love (it happens often).

Liliana “Adlas” Platform Sandals
How happy was I when we found this Liliana knock-off version of the R&R pumps? They’re not 100% identical but they’re pretty darn close and did you happen to catch the price tag on these? At $27.50 you really can’t afford NOT to pick these up.

Diane Kruger always looks amazing. She is one of my very favorite celebs-with-style, because she takes risks, but never takes a look to far. She knows how to push the sartorial envelope and still look sensational instead of like the clothes are wearing her. And the photo below is a fine example. Her LBD is no simple shift, but see how her spiked Louboutins cut the sweetness of that sweetheart neckline and ruffles? That is fashion brilliance.

Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress
You can recreate Diane’s look with the Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress—for less than $100, mind you. The Lipsy dress has all the details of the Balmain frock…sweetheart neckline, ruffles, chain belt…and at that price, why not give it a go?

Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps
OK, we all die for those spiky Lous. They are almost unrivaled in their creativity and wow-factor. But since a pair of Louboutins is about the cost of a mortgage payment, maybe consider these Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps instead. There are no spikes, but the hardware ensures this pair has the same maybe-I’m-a-good-girl-maybe-I’m-not feeling.

I love me a hot pair of statement heels. Probably a bit too much since my shoe closet is full of impractical stilettos I rarely wear because I lack the ability to walk in them properly. Still it’s nice to know they’re there. I’d love to add these red patent slingback pumps by Christian Louboutin to my ever growing shoe collection. They are so sexy! So summery! So high! And so out of my budget!

If you’re a fan of the ankle boot trend and have a thing or two for edgy details like decorative zippers, you will most probably be in love with these open-toe booties by Giuseppe Zanotti. While I’m not a fan of the pinkish color, I admit I’m quite smitten with the style. The retail price of $1178 is quite a turn-off; even the sale price is not my cup of tea.

Michael Antonio “Miksa” Zip Ankle Boots
Once again it’s Michael Antonio who rocks my world by delivering an almost identical copy of the fierce Giuseppe Zanotti booties. I much prefer these ankle boots in classic black, but they also come in red, grey or brown. Sizes are already starting to sell out, so be quick to order if you fancy the style.
