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.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Penelope Wedge Sandals

by Roseanne on April 18, 2012

Menswear is ultimately my favorite trend, but the femininity of these Chloé wedges is irresistible. Though they may have a feminine touch, you can wear them in a multitude of ways including menswear aesthetic. The bow tie adds just the right amount of dynamism between it and the design, without distracting from the simplistic beauty of the shoe. This would be a very fashion-worthy splurge if they were in my budget. As I am not able to invest in Chloé wedges, the steal below is a splendid alternative.

Steve Madden “ANGUILLA” Wedge Sandals

HOT DEAL: Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

Steve Madden earns the role of a hero when it comes to imitating designs from very lavish labels, hence Chloé. First off, I have to mention my affinity for these shoes because I simply cannot find a single flaw about them. The wedge height is stellar, and so is every other detail! They are lacking the bow detail, but the buckle makes a wonderful substitute and really adds a casual element. If I have yet to convince you, check them out in a variety of tones such as natural, black, and brown.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Une Plume Sling Cork Wedges

by Velicia Hill on April 1, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 1, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

A simple summertime wedge is sometimes all a girl needs to be happy. Now what’s shocking is that this simple wedge is by Christian Louboutin – the Liberace of shoemakers! No crazy 7 inch wedge. No crazy accouterments. Just a nice pinkish/mauve patent leather shoe. If only one could “simply” find $595 to pay for this much simplicity. But oh well, how do the French say – c’est la vie!

Steve Madden “WISSPER” Slingback Wedge Sandals

Now let me introduce you to the Robin Hood of the shoe world, Mr. Steve Madden. Bringing (and copying) designer heels for less and giving them to the poor (yet oh-so-fab) people! Once again, he doesn’t disappoint with his “WISSPER” slingback wedge. The only truly detectable difference is the thicker slingback strap and buckle. Other than that, for $29.99 (sale price!) this is a great steal. Available in black, teal, fuchsia and white patent as well as black suede, natural linen, navy fabric and leopard.

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!

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! ;)
