The gorgeous L.A.M.B Z-Project Satin Pumps (left) has made me even more obsessed with platform heels. I absolutely love the unique design but can’t quite get with the $300 price tag. Luckily, I found a fab knockoff at bebe (rt) for $119!

Balmain’s Zipper Boots (left) have been on my wish list since I spotted them on the Fall 2009 runway earlier this year. But the super cute suede boots come with a steep $1,975 price. A cute and cheap version can be found at LuLu’s for $53!

The Alexander McQueen Studded Platform Booties (lft) have been a favorite amongst celebs, but the $550 sale price is not a favorite with the every day fashionista. Get a great knockoff with the Gabriella Rocha “Nanuck” Grommet Booties (rt) for $95!

There’s no doubt that celebs love the trendy Alexander McQueen ‘Faithful’ Peep-Toe Ankle Boots (left). The $1,159 boots have been spotted on Rihanna, LaLa, Lindsay Lohan, and Amerie. For those who don’t have the 1k to spare, pre-order the almost identical Steve Madden ‘Seryna’ Boots for $129.95.

The Givenchy Birdcage Booties have also been a celebrity favorite (left). If the sale price of $400 is still a bit too steep, grab the Promise Cutout Booties from FlyJane.net for $54.90.

The Hermes Crocodile Birkin is mother of all handbags! These bags have a super long waiting list and the pricing starts at $7,500 (left). If you want a similar style for a whole lot less, get the ALDO Cravanzana Handbag ($45).

Look at the super hot Christian Louboutin “Dillian” Pumps! The Louboutin’s go for a whopping $2,875 and are currently sold out (Lt). To get the same style for the fraction of the price, get the recession-friendly Dollhouse “Soleil” Mary Jane Pumps for $48!

Bebe did it again! They re-created the fab YSL Trib Two Booties (Lt). Bebe’s Tyra Croco Ankle Booties are available for $189. And just like the Louboutin’s, the four-figure YSL’s ($1,088) are sold out. I guess not everyone is in a recession.
