Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Sling Colorblock Platform Pumps

by Roseanne on May 11, 2012

Colorblocking is on the rise again with these multiple toned Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Platforms. Sold out at $945, these beauties serve as a perfect transition piece and can be worn almost all year round, especially in warmer regions. The featured colors are so mundane; however they are incorporated in a bold manner. The subtle beauty exhibited from these pumps resonates with the audience, but the unjustifiable price tag is a major drawback, hence, the amazing alternative below!

Sergio Zelcer “Weck” Open-Toe Slingback Pumps

Sergio Zelcer is leaving quite the impression on me with his version of the colorblocked pump. Ultimately, his version is not only budget-friendly but it is just as beautiful as the Louboutins pictured above. These “Weck” slingbacks also have a deep red sole if you truly want to immerse yourself in the classic Louboutin look. Overall, you get the designer signature style without spending part of your life savings account.

Speaking of a super popular shoe, it seems that these Jimmy Choo Greta Platform Sandals have made quite the statement among celebs.

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 – Brian Atwood Maniac Quilted Pumps

by Irina on November 23, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 23, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

We’re all used to seeing quilted handbags everywhere thanks to Chanel, but how often have you seen someone wearing a quilted shoe? Brian Atwood makes all your quilted shoe fantasies come true. His “Maniac” pumps are absolutely lustworthy. Classic but with a twist. Also: a) pricey and b) long sold out. Bummer!

Real vs. Steal – Donna Karan Studded Wedge Sandals

by Vahni on June 2, 2010

Are you feeling the power of the wedge this season? I know I am. Suddenly, I am sick for a Tick, or any super-high, wild wedge—and thank the shoe gods, there are puh-lenty around to be had. While this pair from Donna Karan is a little more demure, they are glorious, aren’t they? Just the right amount of height-boosting chunkiness and not-quite-so-sweet studification. Meow.

Sergio Zelcer “Delicious” Wedges

HOT DEAL: Save $30 on your $150 order of select statement-making women’s styles. Enter code “STATMNT2” at checkout.

On May 7, 2010, we named these Sergio Zelcer wedges Heel of the Day. Little did we know then that they are actually a fab alternative to DK’s higher-priced Studded Wedge Sandals. Now that I’m really looking at them, I think they might be the most versatile pair I’ve seen for summer. They’ll take you to a summer BBQ in a sundress, to the office with a cotton skirt suit, and to the mall in cutoffs and a blousy tank. So what are you waiting for? It’s June already. Get your summer on, and have a “Delicious” one! Available in black, bone & brown.

Heel of the Day – Sergio Zelcer Delicious Wedges

by Irina on May 7, 2010

Ever seen a shoe being described as rock ‘n roll meets summer? The combination does sound a bit odd, but I think this perfectly sums up these lovely studded wedges by Sergio Zelcer. The gold studs on the platform will play up your inner rockstar while the knotted front and the wedge make these beauties ideal candidates for wearing in the summer. Don’t think black shoes will work with your summer wardrobe? They also come in bone and buttery brown as well.
