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…

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Suede Ankle Boots

by Roseanne on February 1, 2012

The cold-weather season usually consists of tons of black, gray, and neutral colors, but these Alexander McQueen Suede Ankle Boots are an ultimate way to break that pattern. The fuchsia color is vibrant and bold, which already is a statement on its own. I would love to pair these with a kaleidoscope print dress and of course on my colorless days for instant touch of vibrancy. If you want to add these to your footwear collection, you may be in luck as these are currently on sale for $752 comparing to the original price of $1075. But even the sale price is quite steep; therefore, we have a great look-a-like for you below.

Steven by Steve Madden “Macki” Suede Booties

These Steven by Steve Madden “Macki” Suede Booties are like a less costly duplicate of the McQueen boots. Priced at $199.99, these are available in fuchsia and black suede. Another bonus is that Steve Madden shoes are known to be comfortable, plus, they have a luxurious and designer look to them without being overly expensive.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps

by Roseanne on January 29, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 29, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Prada is known for redefining what fashion truly is by following the theme of subtle luxury. Miu Miu, from the Prada fashion house, merely follows the same concept but with an avant garde flair. I found that the entire Miu Miu Fall collection was very versatile and most importantly super wearable. The Suede Peep-Toe Flared Pumps exhibit an architectural sculpted heel which is bold yet minimalistic, therefore making it wearable for every occasion. I love the way Taylor Swift wore these pumps; it’s classy yet modern and the red lip adds a touch of boldness. Who do you think wore Miu Miu best?

Gianni Bini “Daniella” Peep-Toe Platform Pumps

UPDATE (01/29/2012): Here a few more Miu Miu knockoffs, all under $80. By Gianni Bini. I really like the blue python print version for some reason.

Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps

For one who is looking to indulge in the flared heel style, these Jean-Michel Cazabat “Shala” Platform Pumps are a remarkable look-a-like. These are chicly refined, and are essentially for any woman’s taste. It is very hard to distinguish the difference between these and the pumps by Miu Miu. Even by looking at the miniscule details, for one I can’t tell the difference. Aside from flaunting a similar style, these are much more affordable. Available in black or light grey suede.

KG “Caggie” Platform Peep-toe Pumps

Like the look-a-like above, these KG by Kurt Geiger “Caggie” Peep-toe Pumps also follow a similar concept. As a more affordable alternative, these are definitely less costly than the Miu Miu pumps as well as the Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps above. Available in black suede or nude leather.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Straratata Suede Sandals

by Roseanne on January 26, 2012

Talk about colorblocking at its best, these “Straratata” Suede Sandals by Christian Louboutin are a fusion of vibrancy meets contemporary wear. This is a definite statement shoe, and both the strappy-ness and many colors are contributing elements of the extravagant and bold appearance. Though I love Christian Louboutin and his creative design, the price tag is simply way out of my budget. Not to mention, these sandals are already sold out, which is unsurprising as many celebrities have been sporting them. In spite of this, take a look at the steal below.

Jessica Simpson “Evangela” Criss Cross Sandals

Jessica Simpson is one of the many celebrity designers which I have grew to praise mainly because I really do admire her shoe collection, and in addition I am fond of the Louboutin inspiration behind the design of the “Evangela” Criss Cross Sandals. Though it is arguable that her personal creativity is lackluster, I truly don’t mind as she brings the Louboutin feel minus the Louboutin price.
