If you’ve never worn flats to work because they seem too informal, these pointy confections by Christian Louboutin may just be the anecdote. They are certainly among the most luxurious I’ve ever seen, and yet oddly familiar…like a pair that Holly Golightly might have pulled out from underneath the bed looking for her crocodile shoes in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Of course, although these are fantastic, perhaps you may want to check out the other options below if your budget doesn’t allow for such a large investment.

Ivanka Trump “Annulio” Pointed Flats

This lovely option by Ivanka Trump, is both ladylike and modern at the same time. Perfectly polished for work, and yet they have a little added flirtatiousness to them as well. If there ever was a pair of flats that could look fabulous with a skirt, it’s got to be these. The pointy toe will elongate your legs, while the small heel elevates the foot just enough to give you support, and not completely betraying you at the end of the day with cramped toes. Plus, the patent leather is very easy to maintain. These are currently available in black, coral, lime, burgundy, grey and nude patent leather as well as matte black leather.

J.Crew “Viv” Pointed Patent Flats

Leave it to J.Crew to offer some spring-infused alternatives made from great quality soft leather, and sure to provide a comfortable fit. At $188, they are a little bit more expensive than your average department store option, but you’ll instantly feel the difference in the way these will mold to your feet. If you love wearing stylish flats, consider investing in a quality pair that you’ll keep reaching for year after year! Plus, choosing a bright shade like Kelly Green is a great way to update your favorite weekend skinny jeans.

Report “Gonzalez” Pointed Flats

If you like to have a pair of shoes on standby for those days where you can’t even fathom wearing any kind of heel, the answer is this pair by Report. Perhaps you might try this more matte version with some sleek black leggings and a sweater dress? I definitely love my heels, but this is one very convincing alternative… especially for when I need to look polished but my toes require a vacation. This pair is available in black, chestnut or nude patent leather.

Pour La Victoire “Bre” Pointed Flats

If you loved the color choices above, check out even more bright options with this beautifully constructed version by Pour La Victoire. While the shape of the shoe does provide a more polished look, you can really have fun and modernize with a some color by combining a fuchsia pair with your classic gray suit. Wear them also with tailored pants, or tapered capris! And why not invite your pretty a-line and full skirts to the party too? Just make sure to keep those skirt hems above the knee for the most flattering silhouette.(Shoes pictured are available in various colors and uppers.)

Booties have been my everlasting footwear obsession for this past fall and winter and will be a great transition piece for spring. Christian Louboutin gave his iconic finish on these Belle Zeppa Wedge Booties and recreated the mundane bootie, amplifying it to the next level with the hidden heel and refined taste. But as much as I love red backs, the price is way beyond my budget! If you’re in my shoes, you are in luck because we have several alternatives that fit every budget.

Sam Edelman “Wilma” Wedge Booties

I have been eyeing the “Wilma” Wedge Booties by Sam Edelman since they first arrived at 6pm, and though before I restrained myself from making this lustworthy purchase, now they are finally on sale for $107.99! They are palpably super chic and versatile and will be a long lived item in my closet.

Pour La Victoire “Chaney” Wedge Booties

If you prefer a more rounded toe finish bootie, then these by Pour La Victoire may be for you. A simple bootie like this one can go a long way, and these are truly appropriate for every occasion. If black is too dark for your personal style, these are also available in olive suede (my personal favorite) and grey.

The “At Once” Wedge Bootie by Chinese Laundry, like the other alternatives above, is certainly more affordable than the Louboutin originals. Priced on sale for $58.65, these are a coveted steal that will only become essential in your closet. Besides the amazing price, these are also available in navy and taupe suede.

Real vs. Steal – Fendi Ankle Wrap Platform Pumps

by Velicia Hill on November 11, 2011

Ahhhh, Mommy is home! Walking around in my absolute favorite Italian designer Fendi platform pumps… not! A girl can dream, can’t she? Well, actually recall the good ol’ days when I used to giddily spend that much on shoes. But even if I wanted to throw caution to the wind and drop $785 hard-earned ones, can’t – SOLD OUT! Guess I’m not the only Fendi feign out there. That’s why I’m absolutely over the moon with the steal we’ve found below.

Pour La Victoire “Taryn” Platform Sandals

Whoa, this is a damn good imitation! “Taryn” by Pour La Victoire is almost identical. Seriously, the only thing missing are my beloved double Fs on the front of the platform. But if Fendi doesn’t move you like me and you only like the design of the shoe not the brand specifically, then for $270, getcha some!

Have y’all noticed that since YSL was resurrected by the brilliant Tom Ford about a decade ago, it has been on a roll ever since? While it’s true that Tom Ford reintroduced the brand before he sadly disappeared from women’s fashion, I must admit that Stefano Pilati has proved himself a worthy replacement. One need only look at the Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Pumps (and other YSL Tribs) to know it is indeed true.

Pour La Victoire “Portia” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (11/08/2011): And here’s an almost 1:1 identical twin version of the YSL Tribute pump coming from Pour La Victoire. Too bad this one’s a little pricey at $285! Available in black, charcoal and tan patent as well as plum, tan and black suede and teal and burgundy snakeskin.

YSL is definitely the stuff my fashion fantasies are made of. But ouchie… the price tag for any YSL shoes brings me back to reality pretty darn quick. But what’s that I see? A near-perfect replica?! Yes! The “SURPASS” Platform Pumps by Steve Madden are gleaming, virtual twins of the YSL Tribute, are they not? Available for pre-order. Now back to that fantasy…
