Real vs. Steal – Tory Burch Bradshaw Ankle Strap Sandals

by Erica on March 14, 2011

Tory Burch always has some pretty killer shoes. I am particularly fond of this pair as it does not scream “TORY BURCH.” Usually her shoes are covered in the Tory Burch logo. so it’s nice to see a bit of a change. I’m also loving the natural tan color and and who doesn’t love an espadrille platform? The only thing I’m not too fond of is the price. Retailing at $350 I think we can do a little better…

DV by Dolce Vita “Florence” Espadrille Sandals

I’m actually a big fan of DV by Dolce Vita and I think this shoe is not only the perfect price but has also the perfect look. The “Florence” espadrille also comes in a black color that’s just as fabulous as the nude. Priced at $94.50, I think this shoe gives more bang for your buck!

Heel of the Day – Michael Antonio Thea Platform Sandals

by Irina on March 12, 2011

I love when unexpected things come together. For example seeing nude being combined with silver. Who would’ve thought this color combo would as great as here on these Michael Antonio heels? I’m not too fond of the rounded ice cone heel (looks cheap and makes the shoe unstable), but at a steal price of only $70 I won’t be complaining. Also available in other color combinations.

Heel of the Day – DV by Dolce Vita Florence High Heel Sandals

by Irina on March 11, 2011

I so cannot wait for the weather to warm up so I can stuff away all my boots and dig out all the summer shoes instead. After months of being hidden in wool socks my toes demand some fresh air! DV by Dolce Vita has a pair of ultra-fabulous open-toe high heel sandals that would go perfectly with anything in my spring/summer wardrobe. Now I just can’t decide which color I like more… your thoughts?

Real vs. Steal – Pierre Hardy Laser-Cut Slingback Booties

by Irina on March 11, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2011. Scroll down to the new add.

We do get a few reader requests per day and while we’re not always able to find a great alternative right away, we store those reader requests in our archives and keep coming back to them to make sure we do our best to help our readers find something within their budget. Take this request by Kimberly from March 2010 for example where she asked us to help her find a cheaper alternative for a pair of Pierre Hardy booties.:

I just saw these boots at Barney’s New York. They are a little out of my budget at $1000. Anything similar? I love the style and cut!! Thanks!!

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals

by Vahni on March 11, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

What’s the equivalent of fishnets for the feet? Miu Miu‘s Forma Cutout Sandals. Diagonal weave? Check. Skin peeking through? Check. A little coverage and a little tease? Check and check. Seriously, could they be sexier? I think not. And not many sandals can work with date-night dresses and formal gowns.

N.Y.L.A. “Megu” Caged Platform Pumps

UPDATE (04/29/2010): I know I’ve said Aldo has probably the best of these Miu Miu knockoffs, but after discovering the caged cut-out heels by N.Y.L.A. below I want to eat my words! They’re a little pricier than the Aldos, but sooo close to the original it almost feels like stealing. Almost!
