Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Buckled Booties

by Irina on July 22, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 22, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

These buckled ankle boots were designed by shoe design genius Giuseppe Zanotti for the hottest brand in Fashionville right now, Balmain, for their Fall 2009 footwear range. I wasn’t really a fan of this collection until I saw these badass rocker booties. My only problem: finding the pocket change to afford these. Sigh!

YSL Tribtoo Pumps. Best. Knockoffs. EVER!

by Irina on July 12, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 24, 2010. Scroll down to read the news.

OK, my fellow frugal fashionistas. Remember when I told you about some great YSL Tribtoo pumps knockoffs many, many moons ago? Well, if you haven’t ordered yet, you might be the luckiest shoe lover on earth. Why? Because I have found the best YSL Tribtoo (or Trib Two?) knockoffs EVER! And I do mean what I say. Look at the original YSL pump. Perfection! I’m still in love with these shoes even if it seems each D-List celebrity owns a pair now.

Pour La Victoire “Irina” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (07/12/2010): OK, so I might be slightly biased to call these Pour La Victoire platform pumps the best YSL Tribtoo knockoffs because of the name, but even though these here are more tamed I’m still over-the-moon in love with these lustworthy heels. Available in black or taupe patent.

Bebe “Liza” Leather Platform Pumps

UPDATE (06/24/2010): Another big OMG! Bebe’s YSL Tribtoo knockoffs are finally back after six long months. If you always wanted a real leather high-class knockoff these are your best bet. They’re available in classic black, pink or ivory.

And now feast your eyes on these amazing YSL knockoffs by Bebe. This is probably the closest you’ll ever come to the real deal with a $149 budget. Huge knockoff crush potential! They are currently available in black & red leather, pristine, patent tortoise shell and leopard print.

Wet Seal Round Toe Platform Pumps

UPDATE (06/01/2010): OMG! OMG! OMG! Thank God, another restock by Wet Seal. Grab their awesome YSL Tribtoo look-a-likes in black or pink or miss out on these forever! You better hurry!

When I checked out the new arrivals on Wet Seal today I jumped out of my seat. They’ve added a pair of platform pumps that are so close to the YSL Tribtoos and cost only $24.50?! This must be DEAL OF THE MONTH or so. The pumps are currently available in black and pink and if I were you I’d snag both colors NOW because these heels will go fast.

Real vs. Steal – Isabel Marant Soono Chain Wrapped Boots

by Irina on June 3, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 03, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

I haven’t been aware of fashion designer Isabel Marant for quite a long time, but ever since I saw Sienna Miller donning an awesome pair of killer stud booties by the French designer, I knew this had to change. The clothes she designs are really great, but her shoes are where it’s really at for me. Case in point: the chain-wrapped slouchy suede boots from her Spring 2009 collection which have been lusted after by fashion connoisseurs around the world.

For some reason celebrities haven’t picked up on these kickass boots yet. Miley Cyrus, not particularly known for her impeccable style, has been the only who rocked these suede boots on stage.

UPDATE (12/05/2009): Stumbled upon a taupe suede, open-toed version of the Isabel Marant “Soono” chain boots by ZiGi today.

Jeffrey Campbel “Third” Suede Chain Boots

Jeffrey Campbell might not deserve a creativity award for his work since most of his styles are based on some other designer’s shoes, but I have to give kudos to him for being a great trendspotter. He picks up on trends when most high street retailers still replicate stuff from last season. These chain boots are an almost identical copy of the original Isabel Marant boots. They are not the cheapest at $244.95, but since the originals cost about $1300, they are still a great budget-friendly alternative.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen “Faithful” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

by Irina on May 27, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 27, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I wonder if – one fine day – I will be the happy owner of a pair of Alexander McQueen heels. I would LOVE to, but thinking that his shoes go for more than 1k per pair, I somehow doubt this is ever going to happen. Not with that kind of budget at least. Anyone out there bothering to tell me the secret of getting rich quick? My shoe addiction refuses to wait any longer to be satisfied.

Madden Girl “Kernal” Zipper Booties

UPDATE (05/27/2010): If you’re wary of high heels, try these “Faithful” knockoffs by Madden Girl. They’re a bit bulky, but the low heel makes them that much more practical for day-to-day wear. The price ain’t too bad either.

UPDATE (05/27/2010): We hadn’t any new “Faithful” knockoffs for a while now, so if you’re still interested in this style, here’s yet another McQueen inspired bootie by Plasticland. I’m very positive these are either the Pink Duchess ones or a rebranded version of those.

Michael Antonio “Monet” Zipper Booties

UPDATE (11/19/2009): Woohoo! I didn’t expect to find a knockoff just as good as the Steve Maddens, but then I stumbled upon these zipper booties by Michael Antonio. They look just as good AND are way cheaper, too. Yay! Also available in brown, berry, grey and red.

UPDATE: These booties by Pink Duchess are also a good and super affordable alternative to the real McQueen booties.

Steve Madden “SERYNA” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

I love and hate Steve Madden. Hate because his collection is mostly based on other people’s creativity and LOVE because it makes being fashionable on a budget SO much easier without having to compromise the designer look of a shoe.

These Alexander McQueen knockoffs are almost identical, the only thing that’s different is that the zipper isn’t a skull shape, but everything else could pass as the original. The ankle boots are currently on pre-order and will be ready to ship in approx. 4 weeks. However I wouldn’t wait too long to order as this style is probably one of the first to sell out.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffel Bag

by Celine on May 14, 2010

You know how I know we’re good? Because we never forget a shoe. Or a handbag. Or a face. OK, so not the last one. Back in the old days (you know, 2005) the fashion world saw the introduction to the “It Bag” – a bag that became every starlet’s must have accessory. One day, readers (stay with me), Mary Kate Olsen was spotted carrying a gorgeous black, studded bag that no one could identify but that everyone immediately wanted. A year later the bag (eventually attributed to the talented, Alexander Wang) was made available to the public. It was then known as “Coco”; it is now known as “Rocco”; I can afford neither one.

Wet Seal Stud Bottom Satchel

I have to be honest, the last time I shopped at Wet Seal I was looking for something to wear to the school dance (in other words, it was 1998), but by golly perhaps Wet Seal deserves another look! Their Stud Bottom Satchel is a pretty darn great dupe of the Alexander Wang bag. True, it’s not made out of leather but I know there are vegans among us who actually prefer that. For a measly $24.50 this is a hot bag to add to your arsenal. (Note: if you’re having trouble locating the bag on theWet Seal site, click on the link below and enter the style number – “42178118” – into the search field).

Real vs. Steal – Alexander Wang Carrington Woven Booties

by Irina on May 8, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on May 08, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

So, it’s Alexander Wang again, huh? Still love him. His Fall 2009 collection didn’t found me overly excited, but the Spring 2009 collection was a total success in my book. There wasn’t one single piece I didn’t like or not wanted in my closet right away. The shoes from this spring collection were kick-ass. Wang’s chunky platform booties sure aren’t for the faint of heart. I mean, can you imagine walking in these without breaking your ankles? I probably wouldn’t even make it out of the house (still doesn’t mean I don’t want to own them though).

Steve Madden “MASSIVVE” Platform Booties

I think I already mentioned that one has to give credit to Steve Madden for fearlessly copying designer shoes and NOT toning them down like many other copycats do. These ankle boots below are a good example. While they aren’t a 100% exact replica of the Alexander Wang booties, I like that they kept the chunky platform and sky high heel to preserve the original raw and urban look.

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Open Toe Zip Front High Heel Booties

by Vahni on February 7, 2010

What was the best fashion development of 2009? Undeniably, it was the bootie (or shootie, as Rachel Zoe has been known to call some of them). Last year, the bootie reached the pinnacle of its existence; it was rehashed and produced in an astonishing array of heights, styles, colors, and manifestations.

The versatility of the bootie is partially why they spread like wild fire, popping up on celebrities in cutoffs and leggings—and in their most modern context, worn with a mini dress or skirt, as Natalia Vodianova did so sensationally in the photos below. How could she possibly have gone wrong with Givenchy Open Toe Zip Front booties that are oh-so-right (and also sold out)? They’re absolute winners. And it doesn’t matter that they’re no longer available—we’ve found some lovely stand-ins that will fit the bill, for a fraction of the cost.

Charlotte Russe Peep-toe Booties

For $39.99, this Charlotte Russe bootie has details that are very similar to the Givenchy bootie. Sure, they’re faux leather, but style-wise, this great looking pair is likely to trick more than a few people into thinking you spent some serious change on them.

Real vs. Steal – Balmain Crystal Embellished Studded Sandals

by Irina on January 18, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 18, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Balmain is all the rage right now. It gets worn a lot these days. Their Spring 2009 collection was such a success! One of the most wanted items from that collection were the studded embellished stiletto sandals. They scream BADASS! After hitting the shelves of NET-A-PORTER (priced at breath-taking $2.300) the heels completely sold out within a day or two. If you can afford the real thing, I highly recommend you invest in them. If they are way out of your budget, no need to panic! I have found a bunch of good and affordable Balmain alternatives for you.

But you better hurry, there are only limited sizes left.

Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Platform Pumps

by Irina on January 10, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 12, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Yves Saint Laurent‘s iconic Tribtoo (or Trib Two?) pumps have been on the market for about 3 years now and even though 3 years equal a million seasons in fashion industry time they still happen to be the most flaunted heels on the red carpet. Celebrities just can’t get enough of them. The platform pumps have been re-released in each and every color under the sun by now. My favorite is the new red patent version. Are these borderline tacky hooker shoes? Definitely, but that’s exactly the point where heads start turning. For the faint of heart these are not.

Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Platform Pumps

Victoria Beckham Loves YSL

Victoria Beckham seems to be YSL’s biggest fan as she has Tribtoos in at least 5 different colors. She was also the only celebrity who has been seen wearing the red patent version yet.

UPDATE (01/12/2010): Found another amazing YSL Tribtoo alternative by Wet Seal.

I know these pumps aren’t red but pink, but I just stumbled upon these on Wet Seal and jumped out of my seat. Those pumps are so close to the YSL Tribtoos and cost only $24.50?! This must be the deal of the month or so. They are currently available in black and pink and if I were you I’d snag both colors NOW because these heels will go fast.

Bebe “Liza” Platform Pumps

Bebe‘s ode to the YSL Tribtoos is called “Liza” and I’ve been a fan of these YSL inspired platforms ever since I first wrote about them in black about a year ago. They’re probably my favorite knockoffs EVER! The red version is delicate though it has a few differences like the wooden heel and the fact that it does not come in patent leather. But the exaggerated, unique shape that makes the Tribtoos stand out is identical! Be fast to stock up on this color, these heels will be sold out soon.
