<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1089" title="092GLOBEVIS_medium_fr_Black" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/092GLOBEVIS_medium_fr_Black.jpg" alt="092GLOBEVIS_medium_fr_Black" width="240" height="240" /></p>
<p>Jimmy Choo has always been popular with the stars, and these <a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=83915&#038;fromPage=collection">Globe heels</a> have been seen all over the place &#8211; most recently on <a href="http://thehighheeltimes.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/the-flood/">Olivia Wilde</a>. I think they&#8217;re stunning. Note the black suede and the lovely metal detailing. Of course, at $745, they sure are pricey! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/border-heel-black-suede.html"><img alt="" src="http://static.heels.com/images/shoes/main_view/large/ZBCBG147_MAIN_LG.jpg" title="BCBGirls : Border Heel - Black Suede" class="alignnone" width="400" /></a></p>
<p>I know. I know. These <a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/border-heel-black-suede.html">BCBGirls Border Heels </a>are a little more bulky. They&#8217;re not D&#8217;Orsay pumps, they&#8217;ve got a platform, and they&#8217;re a little chunkier all around. But doesn&#8217;t that just make them more wearable?! I&#8217;ve seen them, and I fell in love at first sight. And they&#8217;re certainly similar enough to be &#8220;inspired by&#8221; the Jimmy Choos!  At $112, they&#8217;re about six or seven times more wearable for me!</p>
<p>I loved the <a href="http://www.heels.com/shoe-brand/bcbgirls-footwear">BCBGirls heels</a> before I even saw the Jimmy Choos. Now, I just think they&#8217;re fashion forward and worth more than a second glance. What do you think?</p>

Honestly, I must have been a bit out of the loop, because I missed the Valentino version and when I saw the <a href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/senorita-black-patent.html">Paris Hilton Senorita</a> &#8211; I was in love! Then everyone kept saying it was the Valentino Knock-off and I took a look online, and <a href="http://agirlsguidetoshoes.blogspot.com/2009/06/look-for-less.html">sure enough</a>! I think the Paris Hilton version is a great affordable option for those of you out there who don&#8217;t have an extra $745 laying around. Obviously, the Valentino has all those little details that make it so special &#8211; but I like the pink sole on the Paris Hiltons!</p>

That beautiful peacock blue satin pump embellished with a intricate silver and jeweled buckle at the toe &#8211; it took our breath away!</p>
<p>The shoe in the movie is the <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod64820067&amp;parentId=cat000209&amp;masterId=cat000199&amp;index=64&amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat000149cat000199cat000209">Manolo Blahnik Something Blue heel</a> &#8211; a gorgeous shoe by no stretch of the imagination. While we were shopping for new shoes for the site in Atlanta, we picked up a <a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/2009/03/fabulous-wedding-shoes-martinez-valero">new wedding line &#8211; Martinez Valero</a> for this spring, and we immediately spotted a much more reasonably priced look-a-like.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/something-blue2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-498 aligncenter" title="Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Look-a-like" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/something-blue2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod64820067&amp;parentId=cat000209&amp;masterId=cat000199&amp;index=64&amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat000149cat000199cat000209">Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin pump</a> is priced at $945 while the Martinez Valero Zenith heel will be priced at about $150.</p>
<p>How&#8217;s that for value? <a href="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/satc-carrie-bradshaw-manolo-blahnik-something-blue-shoes.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-499" title="satc-carrie-bradshaw-manolo-blahnik-something-blue-shoes" src="http://heelsandthequeencity.heels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/satc-carrie-bradshaw-manolo-blahnik-something-blue-shoes-174x300.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Now you too can have your happy ending&#8230;</p>
<p>UPDATE: We will be getting these in within the next few months here at Heels.com &#8211; I&#8217;ll be sure to let you know!</p>
