Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spikes Studded Pumps

by Velicia Hill on December 27, 2011

‘Tis the season to get your spike on! From spiked heels to spiked drinks – I am so down! Which is why this Pigalle “Loubie” should totally be in my stocking. But at over $1.000 and the fact that it’s sold out – ol’ St. Nick won’t be dropping these babies off anytime soon! No worries though, all my naughty girls; we found a nice lil’ knockoff below.

STUDIO TMLS “Bahia” Studded Pumps

See… naughty girls need love, too. And these pretty pumps as well! “Bahia” by STUDIO TMLS is not as spiked or as high as the Pigalle, but for about roughly 25% of the original cost, I think we can deal with these few exceptions. But not spiking my drink with enough of the good stuff is a whole other story. ;-)

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Very Mix Crystal Encrusted Platform Peep-toe Pumps

by Velicia Hill on October 30, 2011

This glamoruous heel by Christian Louboutin is called “Very Mix”. Can I just say I desperately would love to be in the mix and mingle in these babies! But at almost $4.000 – just not going to happen. Dammit, why do the rich chicks get to have all the fun? Thank God, Jehovah, Allah, Buddha (very p.c. around here) for knockoffs. Now we all can get into the mix with the Loubi look-a-like below. ;-)

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spiked Loafers

by Irina on August 17, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 17, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Leave it to Christian Louboutin to make loafers look at least somewhat attractive to me. I’m not saying I love these nor would I spend almost a grand on them, but the silver spikes do make these less old man looking and give it a Michael Jackson coolness instead. As you can see below this shoe knows no age and gender; it gets worn by rebellious celebrity teens, newly-wed brides and egocentric dudes likewise.

Real vs. Steal – Louise Goldin for Topshop Spiked Pumps

by Velicia Hill on August 17, 2011

From spiked hair to spiked drinks – I’m your girl! And now a nice spiked pump. What more can a girl ask for? Well, a much cheaper price Ms. Louise Goldin would be nice. Gosh, those darn pounds will getcha every time. But luckily we discovered a rather impressive alternative on this side of the Atlantic… for a lot less!

Liliana “Angelina” Spiked Pumps

I think we have a Guardian Angel. OK, maybe more like a beautiful friend named Angelina, courtesy of Liliana shoes. I love Liliana for this very reason. They really know how to make (shoe) dreams come true without breaking the bank! Not to mention, they granted our wishes by giving us this pretty spiked $40 heel in 4 colors: black, brown, cream and red faux suede. Hmmmm… I wonder if they could make us as beautiful as Angelina Jolie by wearing these pumps?
