Red pumps – every woman should have at least one pair of red pumps in her closet. Slip them on and you’ll have an instantly sexed up outfit. This red patent Valentino bow peep-toe pump is one of the most lustworthy shoes I’ve seen in a while. I adore everything about it. The vibrant color, the heel and of course the cute big bow on the vamp. It’s a great mix between sexy (red color) and elegant (bow). If you opt for the original, it will set you back $645.

Paris Hilton Senorita D’Orsay Pumps

Thanks to Paris Hilton and her copycat designer team you can now buy a very cute and super similar Valentino bow pump version for a wholet lot less. Don’t they look awesome for knockoffs? I’m kind of in love with them (mostly because of the stolen design and most importantly – the price). The Valentino look-a-likes are available in a bunch of different colors & uppers and will cost you $95.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Crystal Embellished Platform Pumps

by Irina on January 19, 2012

I’ve always been kind of obsessed with everything red and sparkly. I call it the Dorothy complex. What’s not to love about a glitzy heel in the epitome of all statement colors? You can wear the most boring outfit; throw on a pair of red pumps and voilà you’re the center of attention. These red crystal embellished pumps by Alexander McQueen are haunting me. As if I didn’t have enough shoe obsessions already! Truly tempting, but the price is nothing but a nightmare.

UPDATE (01/19/2012): Gianni Bini has a fairly similar pump. Available in red, black, white, ivory and blush satin.

Martinez Valero “Opal” Jeweled Peep-toe Pumps

Martinez Valero doesn’t have the biggest shoe portfolio, but oh boy does he deliver with the few styles he has in petto. Remember those gorgeous blue satin pumps à la Manolo Blahnik? Yeah, that was him and these gorgeous jeweled red peep-toe pumps are his newest creation. Not as delicate if compared to the real McQueen heels, but still a wonderful and budget-friendly alternative. There are only very few sizes left, but I just had to tell you about these gems. Make sure to check out both Zappos & Endless to see if they have your size stocked.

Real vs. Steal – Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby D’Orsay Pumps

by Irina on August 18, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 18, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Which girl doesn’t dream of having a pair of Manolo Blahniks to call her own? Unfortunately, price tags of $500 and upwards keep this dream from ever coming true. But fear not there are fab yet budget-friendly Manolo look-a-likes out there. And we have found a few great alternatives for those trying to save money.

If I had a multimillionaire’s budget, I would gladly spend $715 on the Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby d’Orsay pumps. They look terrific, are super feminine and would make the perfect bridal shoe. Manolo high heels are also considered to be pretty comfy, so if I could I would already have these in my closet.

J. Renee “Debut” Pumps

UPDATE (08/18/2011): And almost a year after my last Sedaraby steal find, here’s another great under $100 Manolo look-a-like by J.Renee. Available in silver, gold, pewter, bronze leather as well as in black satin.

Steve Madden “WARE” Pumps

UPDATE (09/14/2010): I really didn’t think I would stumble upon another knockoff of the Sedaraby, but Steve Madden apparently wanted to prove me wrong. His Sedaraby inspired pumps come in silver and gold leather as well as black satin.

RSVP “Taran” D’Orsay Pumps

If you want a shoe in the identical style as shown above for a fraction of the price, RSVP has a great and budget-friendly alternative. Except for the heel, they look pretty much the same to me. And being priced at $89 they are quite a steal, too. Also available in 5 other colors.

Dyeables “Onyx” D’Orsay Pumps

These Manolo Blahnik look-a-likes by Dyeables are my personal favorites. They are a little more expensive than RSVP’s “Taran”, but overall I’d say you’ll get better quality. The upper material is a beautiful silk satin and the heel is 3″ only. Score!

Pelle Moda “Nemo” Pumps

These d’Orsay pumps by Pelle Moda are also great Manolo Blahnik Sedaraby knockoffs. The heel on there is again slightly different, but otherwise the shoes look practically identical. They also happen to be the most expensive knockoffs retailing for around $140 a pair. Available in silver, black, bronze, platinum and pewter.

Real vs. Steal – Stella McCartney Mesh Basket Sandals

by Irina on May 16, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 16, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Mary-Kate Olsen is quite the trendsetter. A few weeks after being spotted on MK’s feet, Stella McCartney‘s mesh sandals hit the digital shelves of NET-A-PORTER, but sold out there super fast. If you are craving the real deal, you can still find them on Stella’s website or read on and let me show you some recession-proof alternatives.

Mary-Kate Olsen Loves Stella McCartney

At the beginning of 2009, Mary-Kate Olsen was having an obsession with Stella McCartney’s mesh sandals from the Spring 2009 collection. She was wearing them to various events and when being out and about before finally moving on to another pair of lustworthy heels which she could wear to death.

UPDATE (05/12/2010): Yay! Finally another Stella McCartney knockoff and this one’s absolutely fabulous I think. Martinez Valero did a great job with his “Cleo” sandals. They come in either black, nude or silver.

Bebe “Lizzy” Mesh Sandals

I always thought Steve Madden is the king of knockoffs, but after seeing so many knockoffs coming from Bebe latey, I have come to the conclusion that they deserve this title. Whenever I visit their website, new designer knockoffs have popped up just like these Stella McCartney knockoffs for example. Bebe’s “Lizzy” sandals come in 3 different colors and retail for $139.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pumps

by Erica on May 5, 2011

Looks like many celebrities are going gaga over this Jimmy Choo Vita Slingback Pump! I certainly can’t blame them as this pump goes great with skinny jeans and your party dress. I love Reese Witherspoon in these pumps! She looks ultra chic with her black coat and navy dress! Very European and very stylish, I must say. Who do you think wore the pump best? If you don’t want to be set back $750, we have a pretty nice steal for you!

Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pumps

In some ways I actually like this Dolce Vita “Vivo” Peep-toe Slingback Pump better than the Jimmy Choos! First off, the pump offers that elegant invisible platform and it also comes in a really pretty platinum version that has a hint of sparkle to it (as well as ivory satin). Plus at $169.95, I definitely would give this pump a try!
