{Reader Request} Manolo Blahnik Lookalikes
Here’s our latest reader request:
Help! I can’t stop thinking about the Manolo Blahnik Something Blue shoes!!!! I LOVE the color and the bit of bling, but there is no way I could pay the $945 they want at the store for them! Do you have any ideas for something similar but under $100??
Nice choice of shoes! Carrie Bradshaw thought so, too.

These are an incredibly popular (and fabulous, and expensive) wedding shoe, but luckily, I was able to find some cheaper alternatives for you!
First: The Martinez Valero Zenith. I noticed this shoe last year, and it used to come in blue. It’s pretty much a direct knockoff. If I were you, I’d check eBay for a blue pair. Or maybe, just maybe, you can contact an expert and see if this white pair can be dyed blue (but please contact an expert! We are not shoe-dying experts here and we don’t want you to ruin the shoes).
They cost just $80.
Here are some more funky blue pumps. Some are a bit over $100, but as you go further down the list, they get cheaper and cheaper!
I hope that this gives you plenty of choices for your wedding day. And don’t forget to come back and show us which shoes you choose!

I am DROOLING over the Pour La Victoires! They're so pretty!
I can't believe those Martinez Valero Zeniths! They look exactly the same! If I hadn't already bought my shoes those would definitly be the ones.
Have you seen these from RSVP? http://www.6pm.com/rsvp-zaza Only $49.50 at 6pm!
Oh – and here's some kitten heels with the same kind of bling for only $33! http://www.6pm.com/rsvp-cassie-royal-blue-satin
Those are very pretty. Be sure to check out Etsy, as well! I found a pair of shoes very nearly like the MBs. Same shape/style. Very near the same shade of blue. Instead of bling, they have a ribbon across the toe that is a slightly brighter shade of the same blue. I'm so in love with them, and I only paid $40.
