Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on March 12, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 12, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

It seems that every celebrity at one point or another is seen flaunting around in glamorous Louboutins. Whether it’s the sophisticated high heel or a classic flat, Christian Louboutin has become a staple in the closets of the A-listers. The “Pigalle Plato” Platform Pumps are no different as the design is impeccably exhibited with versatility, in an uptown or downtown manner. The platform adds further height to the elevated stature of the shoe contributing to the elegance. Unfortunately, I don’t have $775 to spend on these beautiful shoes, but the alternative below is quite dazzling.

Real vs. Steal – Casadei 8551 Rhinestone Beaded Pumps

by Juliana on March 1, 2012

These bejeweled heels by Casadei are essentially jewelry for the feet. Their feminine pointed-toe shape elongates legs while showing off all your hard work at the gym. Wear them dressed up with your favorite cocktail dress or down with a pencil skirt or jeans and a crisp white button down shirt. Even though craftsmanship like this usually comes along with a steep price tag, you can also get them at a very attractive price… take a look below!

This equally glam version by Lola Cruz is just as sparkly and gorgeous as the pair above.

Either way, invest in these heels and they will instantly become your secret weapon when you need to add a little spring to your step.

Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Poppy Suede Pumps

by Irina on February 14, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 14, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Kitten heels and pointed toes are usually NOT what turns me on about a shoe, but strange enough I think it totally works on these red suede kitten pumps by Isabel Marant. Maybe it’s the lavishly tied bow or the red suede or maybe that they look so French. But I do like these. A lot. Others, including a flood of Hollywood celebs, seem to favor these heels as well since the Poppy pumps have sold out rather quickly online. I especially like how Hilary Duff wore these with a grey tank and rolled up skinny jeans.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pumps

Christian Louboutin makes some of the finest shoes in the world. Louboutins are a celebrity’s staple buys and no red carpet would be complete without at least one pair of the red-soled high heels. Louboutin’s “Pigalle” pump is timeless with its classic and sleek design. It’s probably Louboutin’s bestselling and most famous shoe ever. Not to mention expensive.

The Highest Heel “Hottie” Pumps

How great is this find? I recently stumbled upon these Louboutin knockoffs and was astounded by how similar to the originals they are. Just look at the extreme high heel or the pointed toe, it looks just like the real deal. And the best thing: they are on sale right now. But you better hurry and order fast as I’m sure they will sell out quickly.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spikes Studded Pumps

by Velicia Hill on December 27, 2011

‘Tis the season to get your spike on! From spiked heels to spiked drinks – I am so down! Which is why this Pigalle “Loubie” should totally be in my stocking. But at over $1.000 and the fact that it’s sold out – ol’ St. Nick won’t be dropping these babies off anytime soon! No worries though, all my naughty girls; we found a nice lil’ knockoff below.

STUDIO TMLS “Bahia” Studded Pumps

See… naughty girls need love, too. And these pretty pumps as well! “Bahia” by STUDIO TMLS is not as spiked or as high as the Pigalle, but for about roughly 25% of the original cost, I think we can deal with these few exceptions. But not spiking my drink with enough of the good stuff is a whole other story. ;-)
