Vince Camuto

I proclaimed my love for cognac boots in my last Boot of the Day post, but I just came across these kickass boots by Vince Camuto while browsing Endless and just had to share this with you. Aren’t they absolutely perfect? Definitely one of the best I’ve seen this year. If you love them as much as me and proceed to buy, make sure to make use of the special deal to save $50 on your order at Endless. And if Endless doesn’t have your size, check out NORDSTROMls. They have all sizes still in stock.

Real vs. Steal – Ports 1961 Geisha Sandals

by Vanessa on September 18, 2010

When you’re “knot” looking for a pair of shoes, that’s always when you find them. That’s how these Ports 1961 sandals came into my life. I love the open sides and the unique heel and how the straps are thicker than the norm. These could easily become the shoe that saves me during my wardrobe crisises.

N.Y.L.A. “Katrina” Knotted Sandals

These sandals by N.Y.L.A. bring you the same knotted detail, but the platform makes them feel a little younger and the all over gold is best when paired with your formal attire. Available in gold, black and white.

Vince Camuto “Amberan” Sandals

If you’re loving the knots, but want something better suited for everday wear, these sandals by Vince Camuto are the answer. The bronze is less formal than the gold and the reptile heel and base are an excellent compliment to your favorite pair of skinny jeans. Available in bronze, steel, black and white.

Christian Louboutin‘s “Dillian” pumps were designed for 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Spring 2009 collection. I love the shape of the pumps, but the big petal/ruffle thing on the front makes me rather hesitant as it’s so big it could easily drown your feet. Still loving them? If you have about 2k of spare cash, you’re good to go.

Dollhouse “Soleil” Ruffled Pumps

Scary price, no? However, if you’re not afraid of ruffles and want heels in the style of the Louboutins, this is your chance to satisfy your budget-friendly designer shoe dreams. Dollhouse’s “Soleil” or “Soliel” Mary Jane pumps are almost identical, even the ginormous petal on the front is spot on. The pumps come either in black or purple.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Rivet Sandals

by Celine on April 15, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on April 15, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Do you guys remember when Sex and the City the movie came out and everyone went gaga (including myself) for Carrie’s Dior gladiator sandals? Those heels were amazing. I love that look of a pump with studs or embellishment; they’re like jewels for your feet. These Miu Miu Rivet sandals are equally as awe-inspiring. I’m such a fan of the deep chestnut color and the brushed silver studs. They are currently on sale right now for $320 (retail price: $795), but even that is still out of my budget. So we began the search for a cheaper version.

Vince Camuto “Mabel” Sandals

Look at these sandals. Now scroll back up to the Miu Mius. Aside from the color and maybe a *slightly* lower heel, can you see any discrepancies? I can’t. Vince Camuto has created an amazing knock-off of the Miu Mius. They have almost every detail down perfectly – including the stud swirls! At about half the SALE price of the originals, I say these are a must have. Also available in black.

AmiClubWear Peep Toe Stud Heels

Now if you’re looking for a super affordable version of the Miu Miu Rivet sandals, why not try these heels by AmiClubWear? At $25.99 they’re lacking some of the pretty, delicate details that the original pair have but they’re still very cute and that 5 inch heel will make your legs look miles long. If you’re checking out these shoes on the retailer’s site, make sure to click on the thumbnail where we see the model’s legs. The other pics show a slightly distorted image. These are also available in black, cream and grey but act quickly as only limited sizes are left.

New Look Studded Cut Out Platforms

UK retailer, New Look, has offered up a slightly more streamlined pair of platform pumps. The studs are there but they left out the swirly patterns. Still, it’s pretty clear where they pulled their inspiration from – the silhouette is virtually identical to the Miu Mius. The price, however, is not. These will only set you back about $34 or £25. Available both in the black, pictured here, and cream.

Azzedine Alaïa is an inspired clothes designer, but I think he’s an even better shoe designer. Devotees seem to hoard his footwear like each pair is the last. Alaïa counts many celebrities as fans but our favorite starlets seem to favor one pair of his shoes in particular: the Ankle Strap Platform Sandals. They have delightful lattice-like cut-away detailing and a 70s retro vibe. The black color is divine, of course, but the cerise has my heart (just look how great they look paired with black stockings on Miroslava Duma, below). You’ll be paying for that style, however: these sandals retail for about $660 and are sold out anyway.

GUESS “Tank” Platform Sandals

If you love the look of the Alaïas but, like me, can’t afford them, GUESS has come out with their version of the Ankle Strap Platform Sandal. Their red color appears to be more on the side of burnt orange but the lattice cut-away is dead-on, as is the adorable peep-toe. GUESS has added a T-strap to their copy, which some women might find is actually more flattering to their legs than just having an ankle-strap. These GUESS “Tank” sandals are also available in medium and dark brown as well as black and come with a reasonable price tag of $98.95.

Vince Camuto “Paula” Peep-toe Sandals

If the GUESS sandals aren’t quite doing it for you (I don’t know, maybe you hate T-straps!), we thought these Vince Camuto “Paula” sandals were also a great alternative to the Alaïas. They have the same great cut-aways (minus the perforated edges), a platform front (with triangle detailing, just like the originals) and a retro-inspired chunky heel. These will run you only slightly more than the GUESS sandals, which is to say a helluva lot less than the Azzedine Alaïas.
