Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Daffodile Crystal Encrusted Platform Pumps

by Juliana on February 5, 2012

If you had to pick one pair of shoes to give you that extra boost of confidence on any given day, these stunners by Christian Louboutin would be my choice. You can’t wear them and NOT have everyone looking at you. So, what will you wear with them? Will it include a pair of scene-stealing jeans or perhaps a figure-accentuating skirt? Either way, get ready to turn some heads. Wait, are you thinking: “How will I ever afford these?” It’s OK, we’ve found hope. Take a look below!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bianca Platform Pumps

by Irina on February 5, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 5, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I am absolutely obsessed with these patent leather Christian Louboutin platform pumps. They are so gorgeous! I love everything about them – the shiny patent leather, the pitch black color, the mega high platform and the resulting height enhancement. PERFECTION! I sure am not the only one who fell for these lustworthy pumps as these heels sold like hot cakes when they hit the shelves a few months ago.

Bebe “Bailey” Patent Leather Pumps

UPDATE (01/21/2010): These Bebe platform also don’t match the Louboutin color, but the shape is almost identical and I just love a good shiny pump.

Joan & David “Flipp” Platform Pumps

If you are willing to spend some cash to get a similar style, these patent platform pumps by Joan & David are a great alternative if you can’t afford the real deal. The platform is not as high as on the original, but overall they still look very similar. If you prefer a different color, the pumps are also available in various other colors & finishes.

BCBGeneration “Tinas” Platform Pumps

If your shopping budget does not allow for a pricey shoe splurge, you might want to try these Louboutin inspired platform pumps by BCBGeneration instead. They cost $60 only which makes them 2/3 cheaper than the above mentioned knockoff and you’ll save more than $700 compared to the real Louboutin pumps. It’s not a perfect match and the platform is even more watered down than on the first pair, but overall they are still a great option if you are lusting for the Louboutin look 4 less.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E20016 Slingback Platform Pumps

by Juliana on February 2, 2012

These ladylike slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti are perfect for a Spring day. Their soft red color and wooden stacked heel is equal parts boho and girly. Just think about all of the fun outings to which you’ll be wearing them! I am envisioning myself at a French café, sipping on a hot cappuccino and chocolate croissant. The only drawback about my lovely daydream is the not-so-dreamy price of the shoes. But not to despair, you can be sure we’ve found the best alternative yet! Check out the fabulous steal below…

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Suede Ankle Boots

by Roseanne on February 1, 2012

The cold-weather season usually consists of tons of black, gray, and neutral colors, but these Alexander McQueen Suede Ankle Boots are an ultimate way to break that pattern. The fuchsia color is vibrant and bold, which already is a statement on its own. I would love to pair these with a kaleidoscope print dress and of course on my colorless days for instant touch of vibrancy. If you want to add these to your footwear collection, you may be in luck as these are currently on sale for $752 comparing to the original price of $1075. But even the sale price is quite steep; therefore, we have a great look-a-like for you below.
