DA: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN LACE BOOTIES

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

Finally a designer has come to the rescue of those lusting after the Christian Louboutin Lace Booties, which retail for $1,785.00.

The Dollhouse Tish Peep Toe Platform Pumps don’t even come close to the hotness of the Louboutins, but for the price of $75.95, they’ll do for now.

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate, FASHION

When Ashanti attended the 5th anniversary of “Wicked” on Broadway benefit performance at the Gershwin Theatre on October 27, 2008 in New York City, she wore the Gucci Devandra Studded Boots.  The boots were hands down the hottest thing on Ashanti.  While her hair was tight and she wore a nice little LBD, she seemed [...]

DESIGNER ALTERNATE: GUCCI

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate, FASHION

When I saw Gucci’s Spring 09 runway show, I was immediately smitten with the Gucci Iman Sandals, which are my favorite from the Spring/Summer 09 collection. The sandals follow the Gucci chic standard, but with a dose of steroids boasting the 4-inch heel even higher with the addition of a double platform. A [...]

DESIGNER ALTERNATE: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

Today’s Designer Alternate is yet another shoe previously featured on my Because I’m Addicted series, which is a short post where I highlight insanely expensive and equally gorgeous shoes. The Christian Louboutin Peniche, a loafer-inspired peep-toe pumps, aren’t my favorite of the reigning Loubou’s, but they’re still hot. The 5-inch high heel with [...]

READER REQUEST: KIM’S SHOES

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Celeb Looks Revealed, Designer Alternate, FASHION

Negin contacted Lolo’s Cube wondering who made Kim’s Nude shoes, as originally seen in this post. Kim’s Nude Ankle Strap Platform Pumps are Yves Saint Laurent, but unfortunately aren’t available online, only at YSL locations.

DESIGNER ALTERNATES: JANET IN ALEXANDER McQUEEN

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Celeb Looks Revealed, Designer Alternate

Some while ago Janet Jackson wore an Alexander McQueen dress to the BMI Awards. She was my fashion favorite for the night, even with the beret. The very sophisticated LBD has a wool and silk blend bottom and a multi-layered, ruched sheer top. Super hot look and I love the high collar.
Ms. Jackson’s [...]

Earlier last season Rihanna was the first to rock a Gucci Fall 08 outfit to a Gucci event in her honor.  The singer wore the jacket with a Gucci Fall 08 dress, just as it was worn on the runway.  The jacket was also worn by Mc Lyte during the 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors [...]

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

So I mentioned these Christian Louboutin Button Web Sandals some while ago.  I’ve been crazy about the sandals since their release, though I know these aren’t everybody’s cup of tea.  Jenny McCarthy recently wore these sandals to the Pinnapple Express premiere, with a RM Roland Mourent Moon dress.  Love the look.  She deffinetely has the [...]

DESIGNER ALTERNATES: VERSACE PEEP-TOE PUMP

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

If you recall, Solange wore an orange pair during her bday celebration.  I’m not going to attempt to find the pic, as it’s not really worth showing.  But I am going to highlight the shoe.  The Versace Metallic Peep Toes retail for $600.  The Baker’s Shoe Ivy retail for a mere $69.95, but only come [...]

DESIGNER SHOE ALTERNATES: JIMMY CHOO ELIZAPAT

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate, FASHION

I think I’ve strayed away from why I initially started this blog.  Initially Lolo’s Cube specialized in finding alternate and affordable looks, though I’ve always had a love for the opulent items.  So I’m going to feature a designer alternate item a day.  If anything, you’ll know the original designer of your favorite shoes, lol.  [...]

Issa Dream Alternate

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

This long-sleeve wrap dress by Issa London in a “dream” print is simply fabulous. I’d wear it to work with a tank underneath or wear it out on the town with Sweetums. Also perfect for those after office events where you want to be noticed, but don’t want to thrust your sexiness into the crowd. [...]

Versace For All…

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under Designer Alternate

I absolutely love this look by Versace.

It’s right on time for all the festive activities. But with the shirt alone priced at $2,204.90, it’s unattainable for most. No worries though, we have options.
Here are some top alternatives…
KNITTED TOP VSD ALVIN $59; Sequin Racerback Tunic $44.00; Sequin Ribbed Tank Top $29.99; Ingrid Glamorous Top $98.00; [...]
