Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Studded Peep-toe Platform Pumps

Not only do I love Prada as I already have mentioned yesterday, I’m also madly in love with her sweet little sister named Miu Miu. Why, you ask? Because they make adorable shoes like these! A heel encrusted with studs is all you need to get me drooling over a pair of shoes (Sam Edelman’s “Lorissa” – hint, hint!).

Vince Camuto “Missie” Peep-toe Pumps

Well, hello there, Vince Camuto. You just made my day by providing an almost identical dupe for the original Miu Mius. With this price in mind it’s that much easier to talk yourself into buying yet another pair of shoes, isn’t it? Available in black, taupe or nude leather.

Kelsi Dagger “Teya” Studded Pumps

While not as spot on as the steal version above these Kelsi Dagger pumps will give you a very similar look. Available in black suede w/ silver studs or olive & red suede w/ gold studs.

Real vs. Steal – Marc by Marc Jacobs 606935 Buckled Suede Boots

by Irina on September 10, 2010

These Marc by Marc Jacobs boots were recently featured in one of my Shopbop Wish List posts because I fell in love with them the moment I laid my eyes on these buckled beauties. Don’t they look absolutely delicate yet raw and sort of pirate-y? I picture these boots with black opaque tights, wool dresses, chunky knits and shearling-trimmed aviator jackets. But at $550 none of my imaginary outfit visions will ever come to life… sadly.

HOT DEAL: Use coupon code “F1015” to receive 15% OFF your entire order!

We already featured these Yoki buckled boots in an other Real vs. Steal (namely a pair of very similar Chloé biker boots), but I figured these boots are also a great budget alternative to the M by MJ buckle boots above with their gold hardware and the various front buckles. If you aren’t willing to put down half a grand for a pair of boots, these might change your mind since they’re less than 1/10 of the originals. Available in black or brown.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Motorcycle Multi Buckle Boots

by Irina on September 5, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 05, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

I’ve always admired these buckled Chloé biker boots from afar, but couldn’t help but wonder how normal women are supposed to pull off such mid-calf boots without looking stumpy. There’s no way I could rock these with bare legs as Mischa and Miley below, but I figured with black tights and a pair of black skinnies I could totally make these boots work for me. Too bad they cost $1.175.

Yoki “Miranda” Buckle Boots

UPDATE (09/05/2010): After more than 9 months I found yet another Chloé buckle boot alternative by Yoki. This steal version has gold hardware instead of silver, but everything is almost identical. At $40 you can’t complain! Available in black or brown.

Rosegold “Walt” Mid-Calf Moto Buckled Boots

These almost identical knockoffs by Rosegold are far from being a steal at $325, but if you die to rock the Chloé biker boot style I thought you’d be happy to find such a close match which cost 75% less than the originals.
