On this season of MTV’s The City, we’ve seen Whitney Port hard at work on her Whitney Eve clothing line and she’s definitely had her share of success - like showing her designs at Bryant Park during Fashion Week and scoring deals with companies like Rue La La and Maybelline - but we’ve also seen her endure some criticism from the fashion world and fellow unsupportive castmate Olivia, whose fate at Elle is definitely hanging by a thread at this point (leaving anticipation high for a potential firing).  But, we all know that looking fabulous is the best revenge and Whitney did just that while attending the MTV Movie Awards and the premier of Sex and the City 2.  I love both of these looks on her and, of course, I had to notice the shoes.  At first glance, I thought her SATC 2 shoes (with the black dress) might be the Christian Louboutin Coussin, but a closer look revealed them to be this pair:

This is the Charlie My Love ATM Knotted Woven Bootie and it’s available at Shopbop for $268.80, marked down from $384.  That’s certainly a lot less than the $1,595 Louboutin bootie, but you can save some money and get a similar look with this pair:

Boutique 9 Val for $199 at Shoe Woo.  If you buy 2 pairs, get 20% off automatically at checkout until 6/14/10.

Or, save even more with the N.Y.L.A. Isabel bootie in black, which is $76.98 at Target.

On to the next pair:

Whitney reaffirms her love for the cage at the MTV Movie Awards by pairing her yellow dress with bronze Sergio Rossi Scalloped Booties, which are available at Neiman Marcus for $850.  For less expensive alternatives, try these:

Calvin Klein Dylan for $119 at Shoes.com.  Get 20% off with coupon code VISA for a limited time, which reduces them to $95.20 with free shipping.

Mixx Chloe 01 for $44 at LuLu’s.

Martinez Valero Courtney for $96.22 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.

Update: This Cut-Out High Heel Bootie scallop cage shoe for $40 at GoJane is even more similar.  It comes in purple, grey or black.

Chinese Laundry has an extra-good coupon available right now for use at chineselaundry.com, so it’s a good time to buy if you’ve been eyeing a pair from this brand.  Get 25% off any cute shoes they offer when you apply coupon code CLFAMILY610 at checkout.  That makes the Chinese Laundry Haughty in black (pictured above) drop from $89 to $66.75.  Of course, we love the versatility of black shoes, but a pop of bright color always goes a long way.  I’m finding the rainbow of color options available in this style quite cheerful (and tempting):

Of note, if you like the blue version, you can get them for less at 6pm for $53.40 and at Alloy for $49.99, but not many sizes are left.  Amazon has black and blue for $60.35.

I’m also checking out the Chinese Laundry Drastic wedge (pictured below), which comes in zebra, leopard, black, white or gold for $69.  After the coupon, you can get them for $51.75.

The coupon expires 6/14/10.

When I spotted this N.Y.L.A. Megu platform sandal (pictured above), I recognized it as a lookalike version of a style from one of the hottest luxury designer shoe brands around, Miu Miu.  More specifically, this pair:

The Miu Miu Forma cutout sandal is a super-sexy statement shoe worn by several celebrities, as seen on Coolspotters.  They actually look even better worn - personally, I like Katy Perry’s out-on-the-town look - but they appear to be sold out online (except for a size 11 at Net-a-Porter).  Plus, their $755 price tag will make quite a statement on the bank account, not just the feet.  The N.Y.L.A. Megu replicates the look and it’s far less expensive.  DSW offers this pair for $89.95 in black or gold and you can get free shipping if you log in to your DSW account and apply code SHIPR during checkout.  Or, try Endless for even more color options.  They have pink, brown, silver, black and bone versions for $119.95 with free overnight shipping.  The DSW coupon expires 7/6/10.

Update: Here’s another option at an even lower price.  GoJane has the Cut-Out Design Open Toe Platform in black, brown or red for $31.90.

Cheap Chick is back in business today, this time searching for shoes that are perfect for both the active summer lifestyle and the good ol’ wallet.  She scoured her favorite bargain shoe store, 6pm, for the latest in good-looking casual shoes that are priced under $25 for those who need to satisfy their shoe shopping cravings for less.  We’ll see flip flops and flats, but there’s a couple heels thrown in for good measure - because that’s how Cheap Chick rolls.  Here’s what she found:

These Simple Glider shoes have an MSRP of $100 and they feature a leather upper and full grain leather lining and topsole, plus environmentally-friendly recycled materials used in the midsole and outsole.  They look pretty comfy too.  Get this pair for just $19.95 in black or brown.

Here’s another pair of eco-friendly shoes from Simple, the Simple Undertoe.  These shoes are made of natural materials like organic cotton, bamboo, jute and recycled tires.  They have a MSRP of $75, but are marked down to $19.95 in brown multi or pastel multi stripes or in solid black, natural and brown color options.

Lose the heels, keep the style with the Franco Sarto Journal strappy flat thong sandals, which feature a leather upper.  Choose from black, pink, blue or brown for $20.70 (MSRP $69).

Add some bling-bling to your casual look with the Volatile Partay, which comes in silver, blue, black or brown for $24 (MSRP $59.99).  There’s also a red version for $30.

Here’s another sparkly option, the Skechers Grace Kelly sequined wedge flip flop.  Get it in brown with bronze sequins for $22.20 (MSRP $37).

Get a flip flop from the folks famous for their sheepskin boots.  Ugg may be a love it or hate it kind of brand, but you have to admit these look super-comfy.  The Ugg Tasmina flip flop in mango is offered for $25 (MSRP $50).

If you practically live in the water all summer long, you might like the Terrasoles Beyond flip flop, which has a anti-microbial footbed suited for going from wet to dry and back again.  These come in pink, black or green with black sole for $22.43 (MSRP $39.95) or get a pink pair with white sole for $17.55.

Keep your casual look super-classic with the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Seasonal Ox for $22 (MSRP $44).  I love the sky blue color, but it also comes in dark pink for the same price.  There’s also a light orange version or a white pair with neon pink laces and trim, each for $26.40.

Now for a couple of heels under $25:

Nine West Jai black leather peep toe pump for $23.60 (MSRP $59).

RSVP Hana in red or black satin for $23.46 (MSRP $65).

Shipping adds a flat-rate $6.95 to any size order at 6pm and prices can change at any time.

Have a happy Saturday!

Piperlime doesn’t offer coupon codes very often, so it’s definitely worth mentioning when they do - particularly when it applies extra savings to shoes that are already reduced in price.  You can get 15% off any sale shoes by using code EXTRA15 at checkout and, as always, shipping is free.  There are hundreds of styles to choose from, but  I like the Steve Madden Tobbi in cognac (pictured above).  It’s on sale for $69.99 (regularly $99) and drops to $59.49 after the discount.  The code expires 6/5/10.

I love a cute pair of flip flops and anytime I’ve been out and about lately, I’ve noticed this polka dot pair being worn literally everywhere I go.  I wasn’t sure of the brand, so I finally had to ask the latest person I saw wearing them where they were from.  I found out they are Yellow Box flip flops, specifically the Yellow Box Fusion.  I love this style as a cute and casual option for summer and it comes in a variety of colors too.  You can get a nice price at Shoemall, where they are offered in lime, purple, pink, black or red for $29.99.  Then apply coupon code UPROMISE to take another 15% off, which reduces them to $25.46 with free shipping.  The coupon expires 6/19/10.

There are plenty of additional styles from Yellow Box to choose from, including another polka dot flip flop with a higher wedge heel, the Yellow Box Biloxi.  It comes in pink, yellow or turquoise for $37.95 before the coupon and $32.26 after.
