Strass

UPDATE: This post has been updated on December 22, 2010. Scroll down to read the news.

So we received quite a few reader requests to find a knock-off of the uber-glam Bridget strass-adorned lace booties by the legendary Christian Louboutin. These were designed by Monsieur Louboutin for Marchesa’s ethereal Spring 2010 collection and perfectly reflected the brand’s affinity for feminine details like lace and embellishments. Month after month passed by and no knock-offs were in sight. I began to think that copycats à la Madden & Campbell shy away from this particular style because of the complicity of this shoe – the fragile strass & the delicate lace – details that’ll look incredibly tacky and wrong if done cheaply. But – lo and behold! Today was one of those rare lucky days…

Dollhouse “Tano” Platform Sandals

UPDATE (12/22/2010): OMG! AmiClubWear got hold of the Dollhouse “Tano” booties. If you missed out on this incredible Louboutin look-a-like earlier this year, this is your chance. Stock up on these gorgeous heels in all 3 colors (gold, black & red)! Many sizes still available. Don’t miss out on these & order them ASAP before they’re gone again! And don’t forget, take 20% OFF with coupon code “AMIPROMO20“.

Imagine my utter excitement when I spied these “Tano” sandals by Dollhouse yesterday! This knock-off is probably as good as it gets. Yes, they don’t have strass on the heel, but what do you expect from a $30 shoe? I think they look absolutely fabulous and they’re super affordable, on top of it. Gotta order these ASAP before you guys snap them all away. Available in gold, black and red. Order fast, I really don’t think these darlings will stay too long on the website once people catch wind of these Louboutins 4 less.

Anne Michelle Obscene-14 Embroidered Heels

UPDATE (08/04/2010): I really didn’t think it would get better than Dollhouse’s Tano, but look at these floral embroidered Loubie look-a-likes by Anne Michelle! Wowza! They might not be top notch quality, but at half the price of the DH version you won’t hear me complaining. And don’t forget, take 20% OFF with coupon code “AMIPROMO20“. Available in gold (shown below) as well as black and silver.

OMG! I’m out of words. If I had to describe these gold strass stiletto pumps by Christian Louboutin with 3 words, mine would be SEX – DIVA & DANGER. No need for a foreplay if you’re wearing these heels. I probably could walk (or rather stand) in these a mere 5 minutes at most, but it’d be sooo worth it. Too bad they’re out of my budget. Even though I don’t know the exact retail price I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere around $2.000. Bummer!

I know a girl whose wardrobe I would describe as basic in contrast to my own, which is trendy, very color-infused and contains never ending accessories. Hers is filled with things like t-shirts, dress pants and man tailored shirts. However, she suffers from a disease. A fashion disease. Something I like to call Louboutin-itis. No matter what the pair looks like, how much she realizes it will never go with anything she owns or what the price tag is – she falls under the spell of the red sole and hands over her credit card. Now while I don’t suggest this behavior for most, can I really blame her? It’s like being an art junkie. Surpisingly, the Spartenvol Strass 100 are a style she doesn’t have in her closet, but after seeing all the celebrity photos here, it may send her into a frenzy. Everyone needs a feminine dress shoe that has a little edge. Unfortunately for her, they’re all sold out.

Lauren Jones “Amanda” T-Strap Sandals

Lucky for girls like us, these Lauren Jones sandals are available and they are a fantastic alternative. The 3-tier strap gets 3 thumbs up (2 from me and one from her while she wipes her tears for the lost Louboutins) and the price is perfect. Available in black, blue, ivory and silver satin.
