So these Steve Madden leopard platforms are total man repellers, I get that. They don’t get the leopard trend or the extreme platform thing. But who cares what your boyf says about your shoes as long as you’re in love with your footwear? Whatever, moving on… these booties strongly remind me of Jeffrey Campbell’s “Lita” who was inspired by Charles Anastase himself, only I like the Steve Maddens better because imo they have a better arch and I’m also quite into the buckle on the front. Yes, they’re a little pricey, but if the run on the JC Litas was any indication I’m quite sure these will go just as fast, even at $99.98.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Big Kiss Studded Flats

by Vahni on May 17, 2011

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

Leave it to Christian Louboutin to take a simple, sweet ballerina flat and make it sexy—and subversive. There’s nothing about the Big Kiss Flat I don’t like, from the gleaming black patent, to the spiky silver studs. Well, truth be told, there are a couple tiny problems with these shoes: the typically high Louboutin price tag, and the fact that although they debuted in the Resort 2010 collection, they’re already sold out.

Gianni Bini “Vanity” Studded Flats

UPDATE (05/17/2011): Here’s another though not quite as spot-on Louboutin spiked alternative coming from Gianni Bini. Available in black or nude.

Candela Studded Punk Flats

UPDATE (06/14/2010): I also just came across these fabulous though somewhat pricey Big Kiss look-a-likes by Candela. Available in either black or white leather.

Steve Madden “KAISAR” Studded Flats

Since Louboutin’s Big Kiss is not only pricey, but just about impossible to acquire, you can get your good girl/bad girl fill with the Steve Madden “Kaisar” studded flat. It’s not quite as spiky, but lots of gleaming studs still make this flat a stand-out. Use promo code “SMSPRING15” to get 15% OFF + Free Shipping on your order of $75 or more! Offer valid until 06/30/12.

Charles David “Rad” Studded Flats

Another option is the studded, shiny snake “Rad” Flat by Charles David. Like the Big Kiss, the “Rad” boasts high-gloss shine, and while there are less studs, the snakeskin adds oomph. Hiss…

Pour la Victoire “Juliet” Studded Flats

And here is yet another alternative: “Juliet” by Pour la Victoire. Not quite as aggressive in appearance (and probably superbly comfy) these flats could very well replace the flip-flips in your closet.

Real vs. Steal – Barbara Bui Gladiator Platforms

by Irina on May 16, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 16, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I remember falling in love with these Barbara Bui gladiator platforms sometime last year. They were first featured in various fashion editorials, a few weeks later I rediscovered them while flipping through Barbara Bui’s Summer 2008 collection lookbook. Sadly, I never saw them being up for sale somewhere (on- and offline) and I was so dying to get a pair like this. By now there are some pretty good “inspired by“-alternatives out there, so if you like the Barbara Bui platforms, go get your own pair of knockoffs

Black Rooster “Starla” Gladiator Platforms

UPDATE (05/16/2011): More than 2 years later I’ve found yet another Barbara Bui look-a-like by Black Rooster. Available in black, white, tan and gold.

Chinese Laundry jumps on the bandwagon of Barbara Bui look-a-likes with their “Bounty” gladiator sandals.

Dollhouse “Simone” Huarache Platforms

A great alternative for even more less is this Dollhouse knockoff. Score them at around $60 either in black, brown or tan.

Of course Steve Madden could not pass up on coming up with a Barbara Bui inspired version as well. His “TESSAA” gladiators are a little pricey, but still a lot cheaper than the originals.

Wow, I guess I’m a sucker for pink shoes lately. But how am I supposed to withstand the alluring siren song so sweetly sung by these bow-adorned Steve Madden platform pumps? They’re way too adorable to be ignored. I love, love, love the shape (high arch lover needs completely satisfied!), the details (a giant bow, people!) and most importantly the stand-out color. Obviously, these shoes will get you noticed and since Steve Madden has this awesome 15% OFF promo going on right now, you can save a further $22.49 along the way. Score!
