*Deal of the Week* Final Sale Shoes at Piperlime

WAS: $300
NOW: $149.95

Don't miss out on browsing "Final Sale" items at Piperlime! Although there are no returns or exchanges, you can shop for extremely low-priced shoes before the stock sells out for good. Sure, it might help to have a few female friends or relatives with a wide variety of shoe sizes willing to take some poorly fitting soles off your hands in case of an emergency, but there's still a great chance you'll land on major savings for remarkable finds -- especially if you stick to brands you already know and love wearing. For example, that means up to 70% off on items like these "Pierce" over-the-knee boots by Sam Edelman, now more than half off their original price!

*Deal of the Week* Frye Boots on Sale

I have an obsession with Frye boots. I've wanted a pair for many, many years--but not just any pair, the perfect pair that will remain intact and timeless throughout the decades and ultimately be stolen by my nieces or someone else who covets them for their vintage, classic appeal. So when I hear about a 6PM sale where Frye shoes are marked down by up to 70%, I'm very excited. If you are, too, you should know it's just for this weekend. Aside from boots, you can save big on styles like these 'Marcy Piecework' flats. They were originally $118, but they're currently only $41.80. Right now, you can also rake advantage of Free Shipping. Check out the sale by using the button below.

They're now the full 70% off, and of course they come with Free Shipping.

Mid-Season Sale at Shopbop

New markdowns have been added to the Shopbop.com sale area, where designer items can be found for 30%, 50% or 70% off! These new deductions are part of the mid-season sale, presumably in order to make way for new winter merchandise. Remember, sale items aren't restocked, so it's first come first serve. Before they sell out, you might want to get your mitts on something like these very special "Winston" by Report Signature that allow you to stand out with over-the-top, over-the-knee style. And I don't know why this doesn't surprise me, but they've taken pains to point out that this item? Cannot be gift wrapped. Guess you'd better just be buying them for youself!

Today Only: Clarks - 70% Off at 6PM

I can't remember which site I was on when the thought first occurred to me (I visit a lot of shoe websites), but after buying knee-high boots from Clarks two years ago, I've been thinking about investing in a pair of ankle boots or booties for this season. Something I can actually, you know, walk in--but still look chic on my way to work when it's too freezing cold to even wear high heels. Something a little more enclosed. Anyway, today is definitely the day for me to take a gander at the 700+ wares by Clarks on 6pm.com (about 40 of which are men's styles), because they're now marked down up to 70% off. I can't find the exact style I first laid eyes on, but what do you think of this "Un.caper" style? It's built with the flex sole and comfort fit and etc. etc. of course, but it's also sleek and doesn't look like a comfort shoe. Does it look too witch-y, too Halloween-y? Or is that just a trick being played on my mind from the black/orange contrast? Oh well; this shoe is only 40% off right now anyway; but there are plenty from which to choose at 70% off.

Puma Sneakers - 70% Off at 6PM

Puma sneakers are on sale at 6pm.com; and today's the last day that those prices span up to 70% off their original retail price. I pretty much only associate athletic footwear with this brand, but there are definitely some more interesting and trendy options that I didn't know existed. For example, would you get a load of these 'AMQ Skin Luxe Wns'? Those are sparkly as a Cullen, but probably far more intellectually stimulating (oooh, burn). I'm not only fond of this shoe because it allowed me to make a completely random Twilight diss, but I also like them since they go so well with the Jessica Simpson oxfords I posted last week. Oh, and I adore the fact that although they used to sell for $900(!) they're now on sale for a waaaaay more affordable $270. The money you save can be used toward buying back your soul for getting my Twilight joke. No codes or minimum purchases are necessary, just shop by using the button below.

Jessica Simpson Shoes Less Than $50

Select shoes by Jessica Simpson are now marked down to less than $50. I know, I know; usually when you hear phrasing like that, you're thinking: Sure, they're all just $49.95. Not true! In fact, these stylish 'Frack' sandals are only $23.70--which is 70% off their original price of $79. But these prices are only guaranteed for this week, and you'll want to shop earlier rather than later to ensure that your size remains available.

*Deal of the Week* Free Shipping on Shoes for Mother's Day

For three days, you can receive Free Shipping on all purchases over $100. This will automatically apply; no promo codes are necessary. It goes for all styles, all brands, all strata of pricing. I am just ad ridiculously surprised as you are, but for some reason these 'Atlanta' woven moccasins caught my eye. There's something preppy and classy to them, updated with a metallic sheen but still simply enough to be considered casual. Just don't pair them with 'mom jeans' and I think you'll be fine. Now on sale for over $100 off their original price!

They come in two colors (Sangria Red or Black Patent) and they look like a cute way to keep cool in the summer, while offering a pop of color to any outfit.

*Deal of the Week* New Markdowns at ShopBop

ShopBop always has amazing merchandise on sale for 30%-70% off, but I love when new markdowns are added so that you can be the first to scope out new on-sale looks and grab them in your size before they sell out. Because all 70% off merchandise is final sale, and once your size is gone, it's gone. Nothing aches so much as missing out on your favorite designer shoes because you were late to the sale. Fresh discounts include these sick Z-Project Platform Pumps by L.A.M.B. They're kind of blowing my mind; not just the crazy angles and architecture, but also the contrast of the 'f--- me pumps' edginess with the soft sheen of satin. Amazing--and now 30% off if you get to them in time!

Receive $25 Toward New Shoes from Shopbop

One of my favorite things about shoe shopping at Shopbop is that you can browse by popular trends, which really takes the guesswork out of locating the hippest, newest styles. For example, I still need a pair of motorcycle boots (yes, need; like oxygen), so I went ahead and clicked right through to this category and found these 'Hilda Stud Harness Boots' by Rosegold. Which, by the way, are marked as $97.50, on sale for a whopping 70% off their original price of $325. But you can actually eventually buy them for free if you simply refer your friends to Shopbop. When you open an account at Shopbop.com and then refer friends to also open an account and shop at the notorious boutique website, you'll receive a $25 credit for every new member. Friends must simply come directly through your account referral and make a purchase (without returning it), and you'll receive the $25 gift certificate within 45 days. Got a lot of friends who love shoes as much as you do? That'll add up fast and you'll be buying those trendy new boots (or heels, or wedges, or sandals) in no time!

*Deal of the Week* New Markdowns at ShopBop

Two weeks ago, new shoes were added to ShopBop's sale selection. That means there's still time to snag designer shoes for up to 70% off. If you wait much longer when great shoes go on sale at this popular boutique, they're often sold out in mainstream sizes. There's nothing so disappointing as to fall in love with an otherwise unattainable designer shoe--and its new low price--only to discover that they just sold out on all sizes 6-9. Style Bard faves are these 'Platform Suede Booties' (and the strap is removable), but I actually love all of the DSQUARED2 sale shoes. You'll also be a fan if you're into MIU MIU by Prada or L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stafani. Don't worry, most 6.5-11 sizes in this style are still available, but I thought I should make this announcement a *Deal of the Week* before holiday sweeps wipe out even more of this fabulous discount stock.

Last Day! Up To 70% Off Shoes at Bluefly

This weekend, Bluefly hosted a surprise 2-day sale on shoes! That means today is the last day you can save up to 70% on designer brands like Gucci, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Christian Louboutin and Fendi. Appropriately deemed "basics with a twist" on the website, 'Martha' by Matiko spices up an otherwise ordinary black t-strap pump with interesting stylistic elements. The points at the top remind me of cathedral spires and romantic gothic towers. They're now 46% off, bringing the final sale tag to less than $100. A great price for such an evocative, unique shoe!
