Lanvin flats have a reputation for being the most comfortable, stylish and impeccably crafted of all ballerinas, and one of the best color combinations to invest in is tan and gold. They will instantly warm up your skin tone and add a little luxury to your basic skinny or bootcut jeans and tee. Throw on a pashmina scarf and a couple gold bangles and you’ll look effortlessly stylish! But great quality usually comes with an equally great price tag, so if you’re hooked, let us introduce you to a simply jaw-dropping option B. Scroll down and be amazed!

Sam Edelman “Baxton” Ballet Flats

The well-known, yet reasonably affordable designer, Sam Edelman, has a beautiful alternative that looks just like the high-end style above.

If you are familiar with the fashion blogosphere I’m pretty sure you will all remember the studded Chloé ankle boots below as they’ve created quite a buzz among fashion bloggers in 2009. Even though they cost more than a grand, people bought them like crazy and the boots soon were sold out everywhere.

Chloé Pre-Fall 2008

The studded ankle boots were part of Chloé’s Pre-Fall 2008 collection and came in an array of colors like red, white, black and green (my personal favorite!).

Kate Bosworth & Sienna Miller Love Chloé

Famous fashionistas Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller both sported the studded ankle boots in red. Kate was literally obsessed with those boots and wore them whenever possible last year. And can we blame her? They are so cute and both women looked absolutely fabulous wearing them, didn’t they?

Office “Nighthawk” Stud Booties

UPDATE (04/12/2012): Good news! Office’s “Nighthawk” boots are back in stock! But you better hurry, these shoes are flying off the shelves!

ITC reader Mat gave us a heads-up on these Chloé Susan boot look-a-like by Office. It sure looks like the identical sister of Office’s “Manic” boot which sold out a year ago or so. Available in black or brown.

Jeffrey Campbell “Starburst” Studded Booties

Free People always seems to get the best Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs. First they got the awesome Ann Deumeulemeester lace-up boots and now they sell knockoffs of the iconic Chloé studded ankle boots (Free People call this style “Northern Lights” while JC and other retailers named it “Starburst”). Don’t they look almost identical? The heel is a bit off, but the studs and buckles are pretty close to the original. The only downsides are that the Jeffrey Campbell studded booties don’t come in red and retail for not so affordable $198. But the boots are available in black, white and brown, so if you always wanted a budget-friendlier alternative, these Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs are probably your last and only chance as the Chloé booties are a couple of seasons old now.

Every season that It handbag hits the market, making every head turn with its one-of-a-kind appearance. For instance, currently trending is the Reed Krakoff Boxer Leather Tote with its interesting “boxy” look, surprisingly not overwhelming to the eye. On the contrary, the mellow blend of beige, off-white, and yellow creates a modern yet classic vibe. Whether $1.090 is a justifiable amount to pay, however, is another discussion. For now, check out the alternative!

ALDO “Lakatos” Satchel

On the topic of handbags, I love this ALDO satchel. Signaling a similar vibe as its designer counterpart, I can say that this would be a handbag to purchase. I absolutely love the colors, which perfectly fit in with any wardrobe. In addition to the gleaming look, this satchel is priced at an affordable $55! Also, I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the less boxy shape and more defined structure hints a big of Hermès. What do you think?

Leave it to Christian Louboutin to make loafers look at least somewhat attractive to me. I’m not saying I love these nor would I spend almost a grand on them, but the silver spikes do make these less old man looking and give it a Michael Jackson coolness instead. As you can see below this shoe knows no age and gender; it gets worn by rebellious celebrity teens, newly-wed brides and egocentric dudes likewise.
