It's quite common place in the retail world to "borrow" for high-end designers. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I have to say that that these knockoff wedges from Bebe ($169) (on the right) are spot on; in fact, I think I prefer them to the original Louis Vuitton.
What do you think? Which incarnation do you prefer?

Why you need it:
Whether you work in a stuffy office or a progressive boutique, it's always great to have a classic black pump in your wardrobe simply because you'll never know when you'll need it. Versatility is the name of the game, and I can't think of a more versatile accessory.
All true fashionistas know that your shoes say a lot about you, and who knows when you'll need to put forth the impression of an intellectual sophisticate. Wear them with jeans for a chic casual look or pair them with your best suit if for when you're headed off to that important interview.
What to buy:
If I had the dough, I'd opt for super stylish pair of Manolos, but since this is the Planet Earth and not my fantasy fashion land, I'd go with these classic and affordable pumps manufactured by Ralph Lauren.
GUESS Women's Drifter Round Toe Pump
Jessica Simpson Women's Vanity Pump

I've said before that you can be either a Manolo woman or a Louboutin woman, but not both. But now we here at Shoephoria are very interested in finding out exactly how many fall on each side.
So we've decided to stage a head to head face-off between Manolo and Christian. We'll start with two pair from both line's classic collection. Here's their interpretation of the classic black pump. Which in my opinion is a must-have for every young woman's wardrobe.
Now we'll move on to the Resort lines. Each collection features a metallic shoe of note. Which do you prefer?
Tell me what you think in the comments, and we'll soon see who rules the shoenista roost.

Steve Madden is already known for making beautifully designed and crafted shoes for prices that affordable fashionistas can stomach. But depending on your budget, Steve Madden's trendier styles might not be an investment you want to make.
That's where GoJane.com, one of my favorite online retailers comes in handy. For instance, they're selling a lower priced metallic version of SM's Dariaa Peep Toe Sandals.
The Steve Madden version (pictured right) are $169.95, and GoJane.com has a remarkably similar style for $29.99.
Here's a bit of style advice, If you're under 5'4" or you have chunky legs (like me) then a heel wit ha thick strap like this might not be right for you.

This is probably incredibly inappropriate but Sex and the City has been my favorite show since I was in 4th grade. In fact, Carrie Bradshaw inspired my love of incredibly expensive and embellished footwear. However, there's one thing that will forever separate Carrie and I. She loves Manolo, and I couldn't live without Louboutin.
As cute as I think Manolos are, they just compare to raw sex appeal of a Christian Louboutin platform heel. There are Blahnik girl, and there are Louboutin girls, and I'm not sure if you can be both.
But occasionally the two worlds collide. These petal sandals made by Msr. Louboutin are what could best be described as "Carrie-tastic." Everything about them screams "Bradshaw." The strappy sandal with petal embellishment is beyond gorgeous, and perfect for the "Carrie" in all of us.
$995 from Bergdorf Goodman
