Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti Suede Platform Pumps

by Irina on April 24, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 24, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

This blue suede platform pump is probably one of my absolute favorites from Giuseppe Zanotti. I love the sky-high heel, the shape, the vibrant blue suede and for a Zanotti shoe this pump isn’t even too expensive at $650. Of course, still too pricey for my own budget…

Real vs. Steal – Prada T-Strap Platform Wedges

by Erica on March 20, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 20, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I’m hoping summer is just around the corner, but all I see is snow outside my window! Anyway, I can’t wait to slide into a pair of corked wedges and I think Prada might just fulfill that urge! This Prada wedge is a great neutral and will definitely go with tons of your summer dresses that you’re dying to pull out for this summer! These shoes are actually pretty decently priced compared to the original price of $690. But if $552 is still too steep for your wallet, just keep on reading…

UPDATE (04/09/2011): Just came across this great Prada look-a-like by Qupid. It misses a few details to be spot-on, but overall it’s still a great alternative if you’re looking to save some serious bucks. These wedges are available in cognac, black and white.

Chinese Laundry “Double Dip” T-Strap Wedges

Priced at only $79 these Chinese Laundry wedges will give you the same Prada look. Yet, they’re not as tall as the Pradas nor does this shoe have the nice curvature that the Prada wedge gives you. But the Chinese Laundry wedge is budget-friendly nonetheless! Available in tan, black, green and pink.

Real vs. Steal – Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 28, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Speaking of a super popular shoe, it seems that these Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals have made quite the statement among celebs. I love everything that this shoe has to offer, especially the metallic hue and the towering heel. I can’t even decide who wore these platform sandals best; everyone looks so fashionable and posh. Who do you think wore Jimmy Choo best? Surprisingly though… these glamorous platforms are not sold out yet so if you want to, or have $1.095 then these would make an amazing splurge. Otherwise, scroll down to see the fabulous steal below.

Sergio Zelcer “Osima” Platform Sandals

Thanks to Sergio Zelcer, the “Osima” Platform Sandals practically dupe the Jimmy Choo design above. These shoes definitely fit into the category of “glamour”, and are very elegant for a special event. Though I love the solid tones, the tie dye options add a certain zest and have more of a casual look. Available in gold, silver, and orange and blue tie dye.

Real vs. Steal – Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille Wedges

by Celine on February 12, 2012

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

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston‘s style. She delicately walks the edges of trends while always maintaining a classic style that I’m pretty sure we’ll never look back on, thinking “God, WHAT was she wearing?” Last summer Jen started rocking a pair of Stuart Weitzman espadrilles that had me drooling. Clearly I wasn’t the only fan though; the Alex Espadrille Wedges flew off the shelves and were forever more impossible to find. They’re back now and available on several e-retailer sites and I would probably kill to own a pair. Seriously, I recommend you not being around me right now. Sadly these are just out of my price range.

They are soooo spot-on and, OMG!, look at the price. $49.99 – this deserves an award or something (still can’t loose the feeling these are just rebranded, look at N.Y.L.A.’s Colby, Black Rooster’s Colb & Bakers’ “Midtown”, they all look completely identical).
