Real vs. Steal – Acne Studios Jensen Ankle Boots

April 30, 2019

While I was still majorly crushing for the Pistol boots, somehow Acne‘s Jensen chelsea boot has managed to gain quite some popularity in the fashion world, especially among fashion bloggers. You really have to leave it to Acne to only have to tweak a few minimal details on a simple boot design here and there and – BOOM! – bestseller! I love all the pointy details of the Jensen boot, just not its price of $540!

Writing up a post about these Ceinture buckled boots by Balenciaga is a tough one for me. Why? Well, mainly because I don’t find myself very attracted to this type of masculine biker boots.

However, since these boots have been making the rounds on a number of style blogs and celebs lately, here you go with a couple of budget-friendly alternatives.

Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Belted Ankle-Wrap Ballerina Flats

April 1, 2019

Chances are you’re already pretty familiar with these double-strapped ribbon tie ballerina flats by Miu Miu because these ballerinas are the It shoe of the summer and the latest shoe trend to take over our fashion feeds. As you can see below some of our favorite bloggers and IGers have already been prancing the streets in those cute and quirky ballet flats channeling their inner prima ballerina. I must admit I haven’t been actively following Miu Miu’s collections for a while now, but these shoes made me fall in love with Miuccia Prada’s younger fashion line all over again. I just love how the belted straps toughen up the otherwise overly sweet ballerina design thus giving them an edgy and modern vibe while at the same time still maintaining a classic and feminine look. Also, how cool is the idea of wearing them with mismatched ribbon laces? Pure genius and so refreshingly new and creative! Naturally, we’ve gotten quite a few requests to find budget-friendly alternatives for these much sought after Miu Miu flats because a) these babies cost a whopping ~~$620~~ now: $670 and b) the popular versions like the nude one for example are basically sold out everywhere anyway. Ergo: challenge accepted!

Steve Madden Meow Ribbon Tie Ballerina Flats

Last but not least are these lace-up flats by Steve Madden. They don’t have the buckled front straps like the real deal and thus are more of an inspired by Miu Miu-kind, but they do come with two sets of interchangeable ribbon laces, so the overall look is still very much Miu Miu without them being a blatant copy. Also how buttery soft does the blush leather look like here? Amazing for $35.95 (sale price), no? Other available color options include black and silver metallic.

Real vs. Steal – Chloé Susanna Studded Ankle Boots

February 13, 2019

If you are familiar with the fashion blogosphere I’m pretty sure you will all remember the studded Chloé Susanna (also sometimes called Suzanna or Susan) 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 Susanna Studded Ankle Boots, $1.380 || Nordstrom

Also available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Net-A-Porter, Barneys, Forward by Elyse Walker, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Matches Fashion, Farfetch, MyTheresa, Selfridges, Breuninger, Vestiaire Collective, The RealReal, Fashionphile.

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.

Comfity Studded Ankle Booties

Update (02/13/2019): Discovered these spot-on Chloé Susanna boot dupes by Comfity at Amazon today and had to share them with you! They come in a variety of colors and uppers with either gold or silver hardware, have over 60 customer reviews averaging 4.5/5 stars and they cost between $70-$90 (depending on which size you order) which I think is a fair price for such a close designer dupe boot made of genuine leather. So what are you waiting for? Go order yourself a pair…or two!

Lemaré Chantal Studded Ankle Boots

Update (11/11/2016): OMG! Just spotted these insanely similar Chloé Susanna boot dupes by Lemaré! Aren’t they absolutely gorgeous? And so spot-on to the real deal, too! They come in various colors and uppers and you can even choos between different metal hardwares (silver or gold). The price is a little steep at $268, but I don’t think I have seen a Chloé Susanna dupe as spot-on as this one, so it might be worth the investment! You better don’t wait around for them to go on sale because these babies will sell out fast!

Update (09/20/2016): Run, don’t walk and get these kickass Chloé dupes by L’idea by Lori ASAP because these beauties are by far the best and most spot-on Chloé Susanna dupes I’ve seen yet! They do come at a price, yes, but just look at the quality and all the details – a splurge worth making if you ask me. Anyway, these are definitely going to sell out quickly, believe me, so if you feel yourself fancying these babies, don’t contemplate too long and buy them now before it’s too late!

Office Nighthawk Stud Booties

Update (07/06/2012): Good news! Office’s Nighthawk boots are now also available in red and white leather! Yay! But you better hurry, these shoes are flying off the shelves!

Jeffrey Campbell Starburst Studded Ankle Boots

Update (05/30/2012): Jeffrey Campbell‘s highly-coveted Starburst booties are now available for European fans for at British shoe e-tailer Office. Better get them quick before they sell out! Free People always seems to get the best Jeffrey Campbell styles. 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. But the boots are available in black, white and brown, so if you always wanted a budget-friendlier alternative, these Jeffrey Campbell dupes are probably your last and only chance as the Chloé booties are a couple of seasons old now.

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Prue Micro-Stud Buckle Booties

January 3, 2019

Every few couple years or so, a new designer ankle boot emerges to take over the fashion world by storm. It then quickly becomes an iconic must-have staple in the seemingly endless shoe closets of every fashion-conscious stylist, celebrity, influencer and editor. Right now I feel like it’s Givenchy turn for some serious shoe fame. Their “Prue” ankle boot is a classic, flat biker boot with 4 buckled straps and micro-stud details which you’ve probably seen dozens of times on the feet of your favorite Insta-people by now. It’s a shoe versatile enough to work with a lot of different fashion styles, but still detailed enough to stand out on its own to spice up an otherwise basic or bland outfit. Unfortunately, this much fabulousness comes at a very hefty price: $1.395! Let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a lot of money which probably would be more wisely spent on other, more useful things. You know, boring grown-up stuff like rent, mortgage, food and health insurance. Luckily, we’ve found various just as stylish, affordable Givenchy Prue alternatives that will leave enough money in your pockets to pay the bills.

Update (01/03/2019): If you’re looking for something more affordable, have a look at these studded boots I discovered at Chinese Laundry.

Steve Madden Reena Studded Buckle Booties

Update (11/14/2017): I guess one Givenchy look-alike wasn’t enough to capitalize on this major shoe trend style, so Steve Madden came up with a second one which looks a little more spot-on to the real deal compared to Madden’s Pursue ankle boots.

A rather spot-on but inexpensive Givenchy Prue look-alike are these faux leather booties by EGO which retail for affordable £34.99.

A similar shoe style available is the Caleb which has a more traditional biker boot design.

Office Academic Leather Stud Buckle Boots

Another one of my Givenchy dupe favorites are these lovely Office ankle boots I’ve spotted recently. Again, heavily inspired by the pricey designer original, but not an identical 1:1 copy.
