Stitched

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

The wedge is such a fabulous invention. Elongates the legs? Check. Adds height? Check. Looks great with dresses, pants, skirts and shorts? Check. The only thing that would make them absolutely perfect is if they didn’t hurt the feet. Oh wait, they don’t! I could spend hours comfortably walking in so many of my wedges, which makes me wish they went with every ensemble. These Miu Miu ones would make a quick and smooth transition into my wardrobe, except for the fact that they’re sold out. Well, I supposed I can’t have it all.

Steve Madden “LANCERR” Platform Wedges

Or maybe I can have it all – at least on my feet. Steve Madden comes to the rescue with their brand’s fantastic look-a-like. The only thing missing is the patchwork detail on the heel and if you can keep a secret I’ll tell you…I think it looks better (Shhh!).

You know how there’s always that proverbial “grey area“. Well I wanna be right in the midst of that grey area – wearing these hot grey Christian Louboutin booties! Creative open stitching, interwoven between shades of grey, is truly cutting edge. But BEWARE – at $1500+, they’ll have you cutting out a few essentials in order to afford them as well.

Miss Me Oz-3 Ankle Boots

Welcome to the Wizard Of Oz, well actually Miss Me shoes and their Oz-3 awesome Louboutin look-a-like! Even the stitching is on point (no pun intended). OK, so the quality of leather is not the same and the platform and heel isn’t finished in leather either, but for less than $60 – “there’s no place like (bringing these babies) home – FOR LESS…“.

There’s nothing like a simple black heel. Well, except a not-so-simple black heel—like these platforms with quirky ruched heels by Miu Miu. I’ve always loved the idea of wearing a classic silhouette or piece, then throwing something unexpected in the mix. These totally gorgeous heels are pretty standard fare, until you see the heel, and that’s what personal style is about. Adding in your own little suprise.

Steve Madden “Flawwles” Platform Pumps

These platforms by Steve Madden aren’t dead-ringers for the Miu Miu pair above, but like the more expensive pair, detail on the heel also delivers an unexpected twist. They would look amazing with a pencil skirt that enables a full, unobstructed view of this shoe.

Back in March Victoria Beckham was rocking a dress from one of my favorite designers, Alexander McQueen, from one of my favorite collections of his, Resort 2009, with a pair of lustworthy Miu Miu whipstitch pumps, also one of my favorite shoes this year. The singer-turned-designer looked lovely in the striped column dress and now you can steal her look for a fraction of the price.

Life is funny sometimes. A few days ago one of our readers, Corrine, mailed us and asked whether we were able to identify a pair of nude open-toe pumps Miranda Kerr was wearing to an event recently.

As a shoe addict, this was not a difficult task and I instantly recognized the stitched pumps which were Miu Miu. The nude version was already sold out everywhere, so I tried to find some good alternatives for Corrine, but no real luck. That was until yesterday when I found the perfect pair of knockoffs for the black patent version.

Victoria Beckham was the first to sport the cute Miu Miu peep-toes back in March. The lovely Drew Barrymore wore the slingback version in red to Live with Regis and Kelly and Victoria’s Secret angel Miranda Kerr is wearing her nude Miu Mius to almost every public event she attends at the moment.

BCBGeneration “Doriel” Stitched Pumps

Look at these Miu Miu knockoffs by BCBGeneration. Don’t they look almost identical? I accidentally stumbled upon these yesterday when I was randomly browsing the web for something totally different. So glad I found these. They look amazing for knockoffs and they even have the stitching on the heel which I LOVED about the Miu Mius.

Other color options include black, grey, plum and taupe suede at some retailers and at $110/pair they will save you quite a bunch of cash, too! Yay!
