Heel of the Day – Steve Madden DYNEMITE Suede Platform Sandals

by Irina on February 17, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 17, 2012. I usually don't do updates simply because an item's price has been lowered, but the pastel versions have been marked down by 30% at Endless only after being 2 weeks in and I had to share that amazing deal with you all. I just wish I had waited a little longer with my own purchase since I got the lavender version last week when it was still full price. Well, c'est la vie! Now I'm eyeing the coral and the mint ones. I LOVE these heels! So pretty!

I love, want & need these pastel colored suede platform beauties by Steve Madden in my life! All of them & ASAP! Aren’t they the most perfect shoes for spring and summer? I love the fun cotton candy colors and the simple yet flattering design of the shoe. And they’d look amazing with anything in your wardrobe: from skirts, to jeans, sundresses or shorts. Instant shoe love!

Real vs. Steal – Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille Wedges

by Celine on February 12, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 12, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston‘s style. She delicately walks the edges of trends while always maintaining a classic style that I’m pretty sure we’ll never look back on, thinking “God, WHAT was she wearing?” Last summer Jen started rocking a pair of Stuart Weitzman espadrilles that had me drooling. Clearly I wasn’t the only fan though; the Alex Espadrille Wedges flew off the shelves and were forever more impossible to find. They’re back now and available on several e-retailer sites and I would probably kill to own a pair. Seriously, I recommend you not being around me right now. Sadly these are just out of my price range.

UPDATE (05/22/2011): The “Alex” knockoff wave just won’t stop! I keep finding new Alex look-a-likes day in, day out. But these here by Sacred Heart are actually really, really amazing. They are soooo spot-on and, OMG!, look at the price. $44.99 – this deserves an award or something (still can’t loose the feeling these are just rebranded, look at N.Y.L.A.’s Colby, Black Rooster’s Colb & Bakers’ “Midtown”, they all look completely identical).

Available in taupe (shown), ivory or black.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen “Faithful” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

by Irina on February 10, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 10th, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

I wonder if – one fine day – I will be the happy owner of a pair of Alexander McQueen heels. I would LOVE to, but thinking that his shoes go for more than 1k per pair, I somehow doubt this is ever going to happen. Not with that kind of budget at least. Anyone out there bothering to tell me the secret of getting rich quick? My shoe addiction refuses to wait any longer to be satisfied.

UPDATE (05/27/2010): If you’re wary of high heels, try these “Faithful” knockoffs by Madden Girl. They’re a bit bulky, but the low heel makes them that much more practical for day-to-day wear. The price ain’t too bad either.

Michael Antonio “Monet” Zipper Booties

UPDATE (11/19/2009): Woohoo! I didn’t expect to find a knockoff just as good as the Steve Maddens, but then I stumbled upon these zipper booties by Michael Antonio. They look just as good AND are way cheaper, too. Yay! Also available in brown, berry, grey and red.

Steve Madden “SERYNA” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

I love and hate Steve Madden. Hate because his collection is mostly based on other people’s creativity and LOVE because it makes being fashionable on a budget SO much easier without having to compromise the designer look of a shoe. These Alexander McQueen knockoffs are almost identical, the only thing that’s different is that the zipper isn’t a skull shape, but everything else could pass as the original. The ankle boots are currently on pre-order and will be ready to ship in approx. 4 weeks. However I wouldn’t wait too long to order as this style is probably one of the first to sell out.

Real vs. Steal – Acne Pistol Boots

by Irina on February 5, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 5, 2012. Scroll down to see the new add.

Acne‘s “Pistol” ankle boot is pretty much the “It” shoe of the fashion blogosphere because it’s either in every style blogger’s wardrobe or at least on their wish list. Apparently the appeal is partly due to the fact that Acne makes great quality footwear and most bloggers say they were totally worth the investment. At first I didn’t really see why these simple boots were so highly coveted, but the more I look at them the more I start to like them.

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E20016 Slingback Platform Pumps

by Juliana on February 2, 2012

These ladylike slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti are perfect for a Spring day. Their soft red color and wooden stacked heel is equal parts boho and girly. Just think about all of the fun outings to which you’ll be wearing them! I am envisioning myself at a French café, sipping on a hot cappuccino and chocolate croissant. The only drawback about my lovely daydream is the not-so-dreamy price of the shoes. But not to despair, you can be sure we’ve found the best alternative yet! Check out the fabulous steal below…
