Extra $30 Off Your First Bluefly Order

If you've somehow escaped the siren song of Bluefly before, you might just be in luck. That's because new shoppers are being granted an extra $30 off their first orders of at least $150. All you need to do is enter AFF30 when you're ready to check out. Woefully, Style Bard fell to the siren song of this shoe site right away, so I no longer qualify. But if I did, I'd be heading straight toward something like these Alberto Fermani 'Bordeaux stitched tall boots, which also come in Dark Green or Tobacco. They just look so effortless and comfortable, don't they? You'd almost never suspect the price tag (even though it is already 40% off before your $30 off), but I'd imagine they'd last you the rest of your life. Aren't really wonderful, sturdy designer shoes supposed to do that?

MBT Sale at The Walking Company

I love MBTs. I saw a woman in an otherwise lackluster outfit wearing a pair on the subway, and I was immediately envious of her. So when I saw the ad for the MBT sale at The Walking Company, I got immediately excited (even if they're still out of my price range, alas). However, if you've been coveting a pair and you're ready to take the plunge, you'll be happy to hear that they're now up to 40% off their original price. MBTs rarely ever go on sale, so this is a huge opportunity to save major dough; if you think you're going to be buying these sneakers (which claim to tone your tush, thighs and calves while burning extra calories and providing back support as you walk), buy them now. Plus, every pair comes with Free Shipping!

Christian Louboutin Shoe Sale - 40% Off at Bluefly

Bluefly is killer to a blogger like me. They keep sending last-minute one-day-only sales. I wish they'd promote these sales a wee bit in advance so I could let you guys know about them in a timely manner! But, oh well. Instead, I'll just stop everything as soon as the sale hits my inbox, throw together a last-minute post, and be sure y'all are up-to-the-minute with hot shoe sales web-wide. So without further ado, here's one I couldn't not post:


Today only, take 40% off Christian Louboutin shoes from Bluefly. Yup, that's right. The red sole we all covet might just be affordable for a scant 10 hours--so if you're in the market for a new pair of high-end shoes, and Louboutin is a designer name you crave like peanut butter and chocolate, then check out the Bluefly sale while it lasts. Want to put a little Spring in your step? I think these beautiful, floral 'Chica Fiora' heels will do the trick. Or, if you're more the unconventional type (like the Style Bard herself) you're more apt to go ga-ga for these suede burgundy 'Babel' tall boots, for which I would trade my first born (truthfully, Msr. Louboutin, if you're looking for a surrogate, just call me)(just kidding)(or am I?):

Style Bard Splurges

As you might imagine, it's hard to look at shoes all day and not want... well, each and every pair. For every sale, I tend to pick one of my favorites pairs of shoes to be pictured, and as you can imagine, hypothetical shopping sucks next to actually getting to buy all the great sale shoes I stumble upon and salivate over. But every now and then the deal is just too good, or the shoe is just too cute, and I crumble. And that's what happened two weeks ago, when I ran into this Macy's shoe sale.

Now, several weeks ago I vowed that I wouldn't be buying anymore shoes until I made some room in my infamous armoire-o-shoes, since it's literally filled to the brim. Buuut I might have broken my word. But you'll see why; I couldn't help myself!

First of all, I've been craving zippered-up beauties from high-end lines such as:

by Sergio Rossi

and

by Christian Louboutin

There's just something about that extra flash of metal teeth that sexes up a shoe. So when I ran into the mall last weekend, I just had to "visit" a pair, which were the more accessible, affordable (and therefore all the more dangerous) 'Berkley' by Michael Kors:



The habit of visiting one's coveted items is a bad one, indeed. Every now and then, it turns into a purchase. If not the pair you came in for... then a pair you didn't even know you were going to leave with. Because once I got up close to 'Berkley', I realized the 4" heels were probably too much even for this talented high-heel wearer. After all, I'm 5'9" and there's only so many occasions to which to wear a pair of staggering heels. And you try only dating men who are over 6'1"! But then my eyes fell upon these:



A gilded demi-wedge, a peep toe and gleaming black patent. But most importantly, this beautiful slip of a zipper, giving the toe a gorgeous glean. And then? They were 40% off. And then? They were an additional 20% off because I gave $5 to charity (a promotion coinciding with the sale that weekend). And that's how I took home these beauties, my first zippered shoes.

[ETA: Whoops! I almost forgot the best part! These babies went from being $129.00 to $42 with all those discounts! And that's why the Style Bard is your shoe sale expert. And that's also why I truly couldn't resist and had to break my vow. Even in the checkout line, a woman watched me pay for them and blurted, "How did you just buy Michael Kors for $40?!" and I felt very, very proud of myself.]

So now I really, really have got to get on top of donating a few older pairs of shoes to charity...
