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!

Lola Cruz 214Z30BK Pumps

This equally glam version by Lola Cruz is just as sparkly and gorgeous as the pair above. Perhaps they might be the finishing touch to that stunning party dress you’ve been eyeing or the perfect update to your LBD! 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 – Gianmarco Lorenzi Collector Rhinestone Slingback Platforms

by Velicia Hill on February 18, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 18, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Uhm, boys and girls, you should see my face (tears falling)… I’m all choked up over this gorgeous piece of artwork. That’s right, these Gianmarco Lorenzi crystal heels are like a work of art. Stunning, unique and pricey! All together now: two-thousand-six-hundred-ninety-two dollars! Oh yeah, another trait about works of art leaves you speechless!

Pleaser Fascinate-654DM Slingback Pumps

UPDATE (02/18/2012): Just discovered another great Gianmarco Lorenzi look-a-like. These rhinestone heels by Pleaser might not come in gold, but I prefer the red version anyway. And they’re also so much more affordable.

Italina 93403 Slingback Pumps

But cry no more! For only $45 you can have a taste of Italy (and I do mean, just a taste) with this non-crystalized version of the Giamarco Lorenzi heel by Italina. The same slingback and open platform design is here; just missing the crystals. You’ll get mesh in black or gold instead. And still have money left over to buy a nice lil’ used car! ;)

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti I10202 Crystallized Colorblock Platform Slingbacks

by Irina on January 27, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 27, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Giuseppe Zanotti is the man broadening my horizon in terms of shoe design. Why? Because in my mind I’ve never put crystals together with the colorblocking trend until I’ve seen the fabulous Zanotti heel below and now I feel like it might be the only way to wear crystals or colorblocking on your shoes. But oh hey, have you seen that outrageous price tag of 1.300+? Well, Signore Zanotti, sorry, but that’s not my kind of shopping budget…

Steve Madden “MASQRAID” Rhinestone Slingback Pumps

Now this is more like it! The colorblocking is different here, but the “inspiration” behind these rhinestoned Steve Madden slingbacks is pretty obvious, isn’t it? Need a fun party heel for the upcoming holidays? Might as well go for Madden’s budget version. Curious to see if more color options pop up during the next days.

Real vs. Steal – Gianmarco Lorenzi Collector Rhinestone Platform Sandals

by Velicia Hill on December 19, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 19, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

ATTENTION serious shoe lovers & collectors: if you crave heels that only a few, the proud and the rich can afford (Mariah Carey loves these heels), then boy do we have a heel for you! Swarovski crystals adorn this ultra-feminine, show-stopping heel by Gianmarco Lorenzi. Totally a red carpet heel, for those whose bank accounts isn’t in the “red” either… WOW, $2300! I cannot even begin to tell you how many bills that would pay in my house!

UPDATE (12/19/2011): And here’s another great Gianmarco Lorenzi look-a-like by Pleaser for less than half the price of the Zigi version. These would make a great pair of sparkling heels for NYE, don’t you agree?

Zigi NY Black Label “Sparkler” Crystal Heels

UPDATE (06/25/2011): Just discovered that Heels.com now has the Sparkler heels stocked in a beautiful rosegold color. Don’t they look absolutely amazing? I love.

But luckily for you, I love to shop and shop I did, for a copy of this heel. And to my surprise, Zigi NY‘s new Black Label worked their magic on re-creating the Lorenzi heel – for a whole lot less. OMG, I’m speechless! All the details are there: the crystals, the ankle-strap, and even the open crystal filled platform. This steal is so close to the real deal that the only detectable difference is a couple thousand dollars! Prepare to set off fireworks when wearing these Sparkler heels! Perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E10062 Crystal Ankle Cuff Sandals

by Erica on August 2, 2011

I’m not sure which woman wouldn’t want jewels around her ankles? And I’m sure you can clearly see why these Giuseppe Zanotti high heel sandals are sold out! I love the nude color straps and the decent heel height, but I’m not sold on the price! At $1.095 and sold out I think we can do better!

BCBGeneration “Pashas” High-Heel Sandals

I love the crystals on these BCBGeneration sandals! I’m not too fond of the not-so-sleek heel, but I’ll get over that! Definitely love the price though: only $98! Available in nude, black, pewter and gold.
