Like Mickey Rourke, Valerie Bertinelli and Britney Spears, platform heels have made a triumphant comeback. Who could stop salivating over this pair by the master-of-glam Giuseppe Zanotti (left)?
The combination of patent leather and earthy cork will make you feel like Catwoman at the local farmer's market. Plus, the 4-inch heel really helps when you're trying to order at McDonald's without having to stand on your tip-toes. The one drawback is the $551 price tag. After all, these days a chai latte is considered a luxury item.
Enter the next best thing: This $79.99 version by Guess (right).
With the same sumptuous mix of materials, no one but your checking account will ever be able to tell the difference between the two. And at one-seventh the price, what a difference it is!
