These amazing platforms are from Charles Anastase‘s S/S 2009 show but I guess I’m a little behind the curve because I only just discovered them. While I can’t imagine anyone actually wearing them (how did the models not break their necks strutting down the runway?) I do find them aesthetically pleasing. If only that heel was just a little shorter and I think we would have ourselves a winner.

Jeffrey Campbell “Foxy” Platform Sandals
UPDATE (08/05/2010): If you missed out on the Dany platforms, here’s your second chance to get almost identical knockoffs by Jeffrey Campbell. Currently only available in cheetah, but as you might know animal print will be HUGE this fall, so if you dig it, why not grab a pair?

Jessica Simpson “Dany” Platform Sandals
I was SO happy to find these Jessica Simpson “Dany” platform sandals. They are everything the originals are but in a much more digestible form. A slightly lower heel makes them more wearable and a $98 price tag means you don’t have to think twice about bringing these bad-boys home.

YSL. In my head, that stands for yummy shoes, love!—and these Essentiel T-Strap Sandals by Yves Saint Laurent are a stellar example why. Have you ever seen a heel like that? Totally swoon-worthy. And with a price tag of $895 it’s not just the heel that has me gasping for air. Dang.

Bebe “Iris” Architectural Sandals
Question: Is it blasphemy to think a Bebe sandal looks better than the shoe it was inspired by? Because if loving the Bebe “Iris” architectural sandal more than YSL is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Although Iris is not a t-strap, she does have that architectural heel, and blessings be, the price is also well under two bills. From the moment I spotted this shoe it has been haunting me. I waitlisted myself for it, got my notification, and they are currently en route to me. If they look half as good in real life, you’ll be seeing them again in a photo…on my feet. Available in dark gold and black.

Are you a Giuseppe Zanotti fan? If so, I bet you’re drooling over these I90188 Zipper Sandals, and why wouldn’t you? They’re a little daring, with the zipper and decorative hardware, but still tame enough to sport with trousers in the office—or anywhere, for that matter. Originally $750, they are now available at a discount, but I’m not sure the average shopper is willing to plunk down more than $400 for them. Cute, but 400 bucks worth of cute?

BCBGeneration “Taina” Sandals
So about the $400+ I mentioned above? You’ll only need a quarter of it for these BCBGeneration “Taina” Sandals that look so much like the Zanotti pair. With all that money still in your purse, guess cocktails are on you tonight, right?

Today’s Heel of the Day is breaking my heart… Yes, shoes can indeed break hearts – especially when they’re not available in your size. Know that feeling? Let’s rewind.
I was going to do a HOTD post on another Poetic Licence shoe style when I accidentally stumbled upon the “Summer Fling” – a delicious suede t-strap platform sandal that had my name written all over it. You could tell he felt the same way about me. A little shy maybe, but obviously flirting with me and secretly hoping to end up in my ever growing closet. It was love at first sight I tell ya!
So I’m not that kind of girl who falls for quirky, playful shoes easily, mind you – I like mine tough & edgy – but this one was different; it took my heart by storm. I absolutely adore the orange/blue color combo just as I love the mix of used fabrics (leather, suede, cork & reptile print). The chunky heel and the sophisticated double platform did the rest. Suddenly all I kept hearing in my head was: “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!“, so I gave in, pulled out my credit card, ready to make my purchase… only to find out they were out of stock in my size. Not willing to let this uncommon love end that way I was ecstatic to find my fling both available on Endless & Zappos. To my dissappointment I quickly learned that both retailers don’t ship outside the US. Double bummer! Now I can only hope Poetic Licence will restock my new shoe obsession here in Europe, so we can live happily ever after. Fingers crossed!

I clearly overuse the word “obsessed” in conjunction with shoes, but OMG! I am so OBSESSED with these spikey studded Givenchy zip sandals. Looking like they’ve been hewn out of obsidian these heels are serious business and can also work as weapons if the situation calls for it. Perfect for the fashionable woman who loves a shiny shoe extraordinaire. One who can handle the price AND the attention she’d draw with these punky hedgehogs on.

Christine Centenera Loves Givenchy
Christine Centenera is a fashion editor for Harper’s Bazaar Australia and also a stylist. She has gained quite a bit of momentum lately and been the subject of many fashion and streetstyle blog mentions. As far as my research goes Christine was the only to make a public outing in those Givenchy heels. Love them on her! She looks so dominant yet so sensual. Must be the contrast between the light blue combined with all the spiked studs.
ZiGiny “Norah” Studded Sandals
If you’re ready to punk up your wardrobe with studded heels à la Christine, but don’t have the budget or vitamin b to afford the real deal, check out these mad Givenchy inspired sandals by ZiGiny. Wearing these will take your style game to the next level and get all people staring at your feet, so you better have a pedi before putting these on. They sure are no Givenchys, but priced at $169.95 they are much more of an option than their designer counterparts. Available in either black or pewter.

HOT DEAL: Use our exclusive coupon code INTHEIRCLOSET to receive 15% OFF your order!
I’ve been a fan of these ruffled zipper t-strap sandals by Report Signature ever since I first saw them being uploaded on Heels.com a few months ago. They are just delicious, a perfect mix of edgy meets femimine chic. While they are not THAT expensive at $189.99, there’s still a lot of things you can do or buy with $190. Paying your mortgage for instance, buy food or save them for your kid’s college fund. You know, all that boring grown-up stuff.

Nine West “Palomino” Sandals
If you are looking for the same style without the hefty price tag, these t-strap peep-toes by Nine West are a great alternative if you want Louboutin 4 less. The heel on these is not as high and they don’t have the double platform, but the overall look of these shoes is almost identical compared to the real deal. They retail for $89 which is quite affordable and come in a multitude of colors including black, brown and purple suede as well as black and brown leather.
