Real vs Deal: YSL Imperiale & Dolce Vita April pumps

Who knew there was a fake YSL Imperiale made by Dolce Vita?

The YSL Imperiale has been one of the “it” heels of 2009 on the feet of many celebrity from Katy Perry to Lady GaGa. It’s unique wedge + platform like heel has found a soft spot with many bloggers too.

The YSLs are now on sale almost everywhere, but if the price tag is still a bit over your budget – I’ve found that Dolce Vita does a nice impersonation (knock off) of the pumps with their “April” Platform pumps – and for only a fraction of the price of the YSL Imperiale.

What do you think?

YSL Imperiale $795 at Saks
Dolce Vita April Pumps $180 at Shopbop.com

Chloé Leather shoe boots vs Forever21 patent peeptoe

Now Showing: Another episode of “Knock-off Jungle”

Chloé Leather shoe boots have long been on my list of funky-but-kinda- weird-cute shoes, somedays i’m in love with it other days i think it hideous. Partly because usually every other white leather shoes just look plain cheap, but these are just, well you know, toocute!

Forever21 has wasted no time in copying what they think are going to be hottest hit “must have” items on the list of fashionistas all over. Oh what they’ve cooked up this time was too good not to highlight. check it out.

I still would rather get the Chloe, which by the way has just gone on sale at net-a-porter. But then again maybe not, cause now the fun is spoiled if everybody and their mama is walking around in a pair of wanna be Chloe’s. I mean apart of the appeal was their uniqueness. Anyways, I’m awaiting Forever21 next episode in Knockoff Jungle. Which should be premiering again pretty soon( as in right after the next fashion week).

Chanel J12 Ceramic Watch, could it be?

Wait, hold on, somebody check waht time it is please. You know something’s off key if your search for Chanel J12 watches on Goggle and the results turn up eight sites where replicas can be bought for the great deal of $590…

As compared to two real sources that offer the watches for their actual prices: $3,285(for the large size) and $2,920(for the mid size).
Damn, 8:2 ratio of fakes to real. Now that’s real!!!

Ok, so truth be told I saw these sexy babies on a routine stroll through NYC’s Chinatown (famous for being a knock-off haven)!
What?!! I didnt buy anything…that time. But point is I go there quite often it keeps me grounded, letting me know what people want so baddly that they’re willing to pay to get the knock-offs. Believe me, if you’re in fashion, retail or merchandising try it. You’ll learn so much to watch people’s buying behavior.

Well, I fell, hard hard, in love with the Chanel J12 Ceramic white watch, but I made a promise to buy it for myself when I’ve worked enough to deserve it (no such thing, I really want it now)…Mon Dieu, how any hints must a girl through at her man about the stuff she likes and wants!

Apparently many people want it as bad as I do, who also can’t really afford it, and are willing to settle for a fake, but a good fake (I’m still dropping hints).

Now take a look be a judge for yourself, but isnt it beautiful?
FAKE:

REAL:

GUESS:
Ok so maybe you’re not a namebrand ho like moi, but you can grab you a pretty decent Guess watch for $135 at Macys.
The Guess Women’s White Enamel Bracelet Watch is great if:
(1) you have a conscience and can’t buy knock-off ( too bad)
(2)just aint got the $$$( also bad)
(3)simply don’t care for Chanel ( but lets pretend for my sake that it’s one of the first two reasons, ok…:)
