Real vs. Steal – Lanvin Cap Toe Ballet Flats

by Juliana on May 22, 2012

Lanvin flats have a reputation for being the most comfortable, stylish and impeccably crafted of all ballerinas, and one of the best color combinations to invest in is tan and gold. They will instantly warm up your skin tone and add a little luxury to your basic skinny or bootcut jeans and tee. Throw on a pashmina scarf and a couple gold bangles and you’ll look effortlessly stylish! But great quality usually comes with an equally great price tag, so if you’re hooked, let us introduce you to a simply jaw-dropping option B. Scroll down and be amazed!

Sam Edelman “Baxton” Ballet Flats

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Belle Zeppa Suede Wedge Booties

by Roseanne on February 17, 2012

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.

Chinese Laundry “At Once” Wedge Booties

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.

Signore Giuseppe Zanotti, te amo! Or, to be a bit more specific: I love your shoes! Especially those extreme platform wedges from your S/S 2011 collection. We’ve already shown you the peep-toe version of this wedge and today we’re going to show you a great Zanotti alternative for the equally gorgeous closed toe version.

Sam Edelman “Quinn” Wedge Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): Squeal! I just stumbled upon the perfect Zanotti look-a-like by Sam Edelman. The heel height on these here is somewhat lower, but I actually prefer them that way because it makes the shoes more wearable and less dangerous imo. Available in red or black suede.

Dollhouse “Brik” Wedge Platform Pumps

UPDATE (09/09/2011): If you’re looking for a cheap Zanotti alternative in red, check out these faux suede wedge pumps by Dollhouse. They’re $35 only & come in black patent as well black and red suede!

Wild Pair “Lola WP” Wedge Pumps

So, how great are these Zanottis on a budget by Wild Pair? Quite spot-on I’d say, even though I would love them more if they had kept the suede platform. But at $95 I’ll just keep my mouth shut and put them into my cart ASAP (sizes are already starting to sell out, so you better hurry to make your order). Available in red or black suede.
