Thrifty Thursday: Gucci 'Kills Platform Bootie' on a Budget

Lovers, in the left corner we have Gucci’s glamour-laden Kills Platform Bootie; to the right take a peek at Colin Stuart’s saucy Stretch Bootie.

Though Stuart’s stunners are crafted out of polyurethane, as opposed to the stretch leather construction of the killer Kills Platform Bootie; for a mere $69.00, in comparison to the $990.00 required to call the gorgeous Gucci’s your very own, they are every bit as fierce, unforgettable, and fabulous as their couture counterpart – at a price that is not only haute for the budget fashionista, but humble, as well.

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Gucci, or be thrifty and spring for Colin Stuart?


Fashionably yours!

  3. They're so close, but something is still pulling me to the Guccis!

  4. I want the Gucci Kills just because the platform is a little higher.

  5. I'd definitely splurge on this one because I love the stacked platforms of the Gucci pair. :)

  13. Beautiful! under normal circumstances would have scrimped and saved for the Guccis...but the other one's a steal!!!

  14. Nice find! The Colin Stuart ones pretty much are identical (obviously the feel would be different than the Guccis) but I think I would buy them anyway because it is such a special occasion shoe (at least for my life). I like to only buy the designer pieces when I know I will wear them for a long time, like a classic pump or a tall boot! Love, A

  16. another great find. While out shopping will you keep your eyes out for a resonably priced pair of cuff booties? I so want a pair for this Fall but would like a good deal and less than a 3 inch heel. I would like to wear them to work! Your the best!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yikes! Too high of a heel for me!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Those are HOT! gorgeous party shoes...

    ReplyDelete
  19. I adore these boots...they're gorgeous! But as much as I'd love to drop a G on boots, I'm going to have to go thrifty on this one. No worries though, the Stuarts are a great looking boot for only $69!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I am a total sucker for Gucci so I am going to have to (theoretically) splurge on this one... though those Colin Stuarts don't look half bad!

  22. oh goodness, i want the gucci's and would def do the gucci's!!! colin stuarts aren't half bad though!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'd go for the Colin Stuart. In white they are a little stripper-esque, but in black they're so similiar that I wouldn't secretly wish I had the Gucci pair.

  24. wow $69? amazing find! gorgeous boots! want them!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Im always surprised with how great victorias secret's clothes are. Ive ordered a couple skirts and dresses and a pair of colin stuart sandals and they are some of my favorite and most complimented items in my closet. I just wish they were available to try on at stores! Great post! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. i'd definitely go for the colin stuart ones!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I actually like colin stuart ones more!

    ReplyDelete
  28. whoa! erika! those are almost exactly the same. i want the gucci's - i can't help it - sometimes the others have weird sweaty lining...but i don't have $990 lying around ANYWHERE - so i think colin stuart and i could learn to live with each other (yeah like it would take much effort seeing as i'm following in your footsteps with the boot addiction!)

    xx Love & Aloha

    ReplyDelete
  37. Whoa - these are a dead ringer for the pricey ones! Cheap it is!

  38. Tough call-Gucci is such a great brand, but realistically, the Colin Stuart's are much more within my price range. Too bad, though!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think I would splurge because I like the stacked heel on Gucci better!Once again, a phenomenal find!!
    Bisous.

  40. As much as i love Gucci, I'll have to go with the $69 ones. The price is just right, and you can't beat that.

  44. My! I love them both but i think i would go for Colin Stuart. Those white boots are just saying 'Lily, you know you love me'

    ReplyDelete
  45. I want, I want. I love the look of the Gucci ones, but definitely prefer the heel on the Colin Stewart ones.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow, they are so similar! I'd love to get my hands on a CS pair! :)

  47. The GUCCIs are awesome. they are beautifully constructed, with a lovely platform. very, very edgy. But since I have no way of splurging that much on a pair of shoes... I'd settle for the Stuarts...

    ReplyDelete
  48. I so love the Gucci. But both brands are clearly almost identical. :)

  50. I honestly like the Colin Stuarts best... not crazy about Gucci's double platform.
