I’m going to be honest, these shoes are slightly different, but they’ve got enough in common that they’re worth a look!

Jimmy Choo has always been popular with the stars, and these Globe heels have been seen all over the place – most recently on Olivia Wilde. I think they’re stunning. Note the black suede and the lovely metal detailing. Of course, at $745, they sure are pricey!

I know. I know. These BCBGirls Border Heels are a little more bulky. They’re not D’Orsay pumps, they’ve got a platform, and they’re a little chunkier all around. But doesn’t that just make them more wearable?! I’ve seen them, and I fell in love at first sight. And they’re certainly similar enough to be “inspired by” the Jimmy Choos! At $112, they’re about six or seven times more wearable for me!

I loved the BCBGirls heels before I even saw the Jimmy Choos. Now, I just think they’re fashion forward and worth more than a second glance. What do you think?
