'Designer' Budget Shoes ~ Part 1

So I'm obsessed with finding cheap alternatives to top fashionable designer shoes and I've found a pretty good collection of knock-off designer styles I thought I'd share with you,

Part 1~ JC Lita's
After I fell in love with the Missguided JC Lita dupes that where NEVER in stock in my size I was determined to find some good quality cheaper Lita's and here's what I managed to find.

I had a hard time looking for good quality Lita lookalikes on ebay because I was unable to simple search 'Fake Lita's as the items can't be listed as this but I played around and these are the ones I think look the best. 




   1.       Jeffery Campbell's Litas      £98.57                vs.           Ebay's American flag Litas      £11.60
Not going to lie I thought the real Litas would be a lot more expensive then this but I actually prefer the look of the fake Litas with the smaller stripes and starry tongue.



2.  Amazon's studded Litas    £29.99                vs.               Jeffery Campbell's studded Litas      £115.82
The Amazon Litas have gold, silver and bronze studs compared to the Jeffery Campbell's plain silver ones. The Jeffery Campbell's look a better fit with a larger platform and heel but the Amazon Lita's are a good copy and look quite well made.
         


3. Boohoo plain black Litas   £35                  vs.                 Jeffery Campbell plain black Litas      £120
There isn't a lot of difference between these Litas appart from slightly different colours, textures and the toe on the Boohoo Litas is slightly more square, if I didn't know which was which I'd think the Boohoo Litas were real and the Office Litas were fake! Office do a nice collection of Litas for stupid prices but they have some good sales.

In conclusion if I was to buy some Litas I'd definitely get the fake ones, they may be more uncomfortable and not as well made but I wouldn't wear them enough to justify spending so much on real ones unless they were on sale. Litas don't have any visable tag to show they are real or fake so you might aswell just get the fake ones and nobody will know, our little secret ;)
