Last Day for Free Bombshell Tanktop at Victoria's Secret

Sure, this post title might be a little misleading since it's not about shoes. But wait, yes it is! Because if you spend at least $60 on shoes -- like these comfy-looking suede "Ankle-Wrap Straw Wedges" at the perfect price point of $68 -- then you automatically get a "Bombshell" tank from Victoria's Secret...free! The tanktop's retail value is $32, regardless of how little there is to it, so whether you're looking for something to sleep in through the summer or just want to wear this out (wherever you'd wear this...to the mall?) you're all set when you shop for new shoes.

Planet Shoes: Operation Clean Sweep

You need to check out Planet Shoes right now. The entire site is marked down by up to 80% off original pricing, with an additional 20% off clearance shoes. It's call Operation Clean Sweep, and it means old stock is being hauled out to make way for new (and regretfully fully priced) merchandise. It also means that competition is keen; you want to snag your favorites before they sell out in your size, because the site won't be replenishing many of the styles now shown. It might be your last chance to get your hands on these supremely fun 'Miss Betty' pumps by Poetic Licence that were originally $139, but are now $59.98 (also available in Cranberry). And you don't need to meet shopping minimums or use codes or anything and Free Shipping both ways--so, you know, seriously, click below to check it out ASAP.

ASOS Now Ships Free to United States!!!

Let's not be daft, we all know that it's impossible to help but look at the hottest styles across the pond when considering our latest shoe purchases and trying to stay on-trend. But then we shamefully click away from our loaded fantasy shopping carts as soon as we see what the shipping costs would be, right? (Don't pretend, I know you do this, too.) But now, one of my favorite international shoe shopping sites, ASOS.com, which offers designer looks at affordable prices, has extended Free Shipping from just the UK to the US! And they've made it even easier to shop on our own terms with explicit USD pricing throughout the website. Sale prices right now range from $5.06 (really!) to $518.98, so there's certainly something for everyone in the mix. Style Bard's fave on-sale selection is the beautiful suede 'Interview' knee-high boot by Ash, because we all know that boots are my favorite type of shoe, pointy is my favorite toe shape and--along with Black and Green and Gold--a most beloved shoe color is Purple. Love them!

Last Day for Free Shipping on Gap Shoes

Man. Men are really gypped when it comes to shoes and accessories at Gap. I mean, not for nothing, but could there be more than six options for them (two being flip-flops)? Men like shoe shopping too, I swear! One of my good guy friends has sneakers the exact same shade as these purportedly "Blue-Gray" 'Deck' sneakers. When they get wet or he's wearing the right colors or stands in just the right light, they look purple instead of blue. It's very confusing and it took me awhile to actually figure out that he didn't own purple sneakers (which would be awesome, don't get me wrong). But anyway, I digress. This pair is now on sale for only $29.99. And if you add a few items of apparel and get up to $100, your order will ship for free before midnight tonight (use code GAPSHIP). But if you like the look and are now worried about the dual color personalities of your new shoes, you may be more interested in the "Off-White" option instead.

$5 Shipping on Jildor Shoes

Jildor Shoes offers an extensive collection of brand name shoes. But to be honest, I rarely look at new merchandise or browse by designer, because I always shoot directly for the selection marked On Sale. These discount shoes range from seasonal boots to we-wish-they-were-seasonal sandals. You can nab a great pair of leather ankle boots by Chloe, or some snakeskin flats by Sam Edelman. This pair of 'Jewel-G Purple Suede' flats by Jeffrey Campbell caught my eye right away. I love the bold color coupled with the eye-catching gems. They're now $30 off their original price, which lets them settle comfortably into the "affordable" range. And of course, all shoes ship for the same flat rate of $5. So don't be afraid to buy something just a little more bulky or heavy than these flexible, bendable shoes; it all ships the same!

Free Shipping on Valentine's Day Shoes by Steve Madden

Steve Madden has put together a selection of Valentine's Day shoes, all of which comes with Free Shipping. Just choose from an array of red, pink, purple heels and flats, and then use code SMVDAY when you go to check out. Some of these flirty and feminine shoes are already marked down from their original price, which means that you stand to save big. Many of these shoes are perfect for date night; but then again, if you're a single gal like the Style Bard, they'd also be a nice way to treat yourself for Valentine's Day. Although they aren't necessarily the sweetest shoes of the bunch, my favorites are these 'TRIBBE' peep-toe booties in Blush. They seem very trendy and yet subtle, and would pair well with many delicate looks without pushing them over the edge into twee territory. And if it's more your style, they also come in Purple!

One Day Sale - 75% Off ASICS Sneakers

Today only, you can save up to 75% off the original price of sneakers and athletic shoes by ASICS. Simply shop the wide selection at 6pm.com, which includes more than 400 options for men, women and children. We all know that Style Bard is not a fan of sneakers, but there is something visually appealing about the sleek shapes and signature motion-suggestive iconography on the sides of ASICS. When shopping sneakers (a very rare occasion indeed), I tend to counter their bulky ugliness by buying them in bright, feminine colors. My most recent purchase was a pair of solid purple Adidas. That's why I favor these 'Renata' slip-ons in Silver/Violet. Eliminating the laces also adds to a more chic and streamlined look that tones down the athleticism on otherwise sturdy, breathable and supportive sneaks. These are now 60% off at only $24.00. All 6pm.com orders ship for the same flat rate of $6.95.

There are 439 options from which to choose at these shocking prices, starting at only $13.75. Picking Style Bard faves would just be too hard, so I decided to browse by color. That's how I came upon these stunning and sultry 'Pia' Mary Janes, which come in Black, Brown and Purple. Naturally I love this deep, rich color the best as an excellent neutral alternative to Black. Originally more than $200, they're now only $51.25. All 6PM orders ship for a standard flat fee of $6.95.

20% Off Adidas Outlet Shoes

Now you can save an additional 20% on marked-down Adidas! Shop the Adidas Outlet and use code SPECIAL20 at checkout to see your savings soar up to 70% off the original asking price on some very popular styles, ranging from classic sneaker shapes to these 'Rainbeau Mars' athletic flats. I tried to get a close-up picture to show you the deep purple color, and the sparkles and pleating that makes them unique. What you can't see in the image is the fact that these flats are created from entirely sustainable materials, which means they're not only a boon for your feet, but for the planet as well. You can couple these savings with a Free Shipping offer which automatically ships any order for free once it totals over $149 (a seemingly arbitrary number, but hey, I don't make the rules).

Free Shipping on Old Navy Shoes

Through the end of the month you can get your new Old Navy shoes shipped for free! The only qualification is that your total order amounts to at least $75, and you enter code FREE75 when you go to check out. Considering how affordable Old Navy shoes are, you should be able to get a cute little outfit . Don't forget some kind of cover-up; it's that time of year when the night starts getting chilly, seemingly out of nowhere, even though it finally started to feel like Summer. Such is life. Good thing Old Navy had some super cute cover-ups and cardigans on sale now (I know, I was just there a few days ago myself). Anyway, the perfect shoes to transition from flirty, sunny Summer days to the creeping chill of Fall are these 'Faux-Leather Peep-Toe' flats. Though I'd go for the Purple option (of course), they also come in Black, Gray, Black Snake and Brown Snake. And they're now on sale for only $15, so grab 'em while they last.

Save on Shoes at Nordstrom's Anniversay Sale

Once upon a time--a time of more leisure and accessibility--Style Bard used to visit every Nordstrom Semi-Annual Sale and Nordstrom Anniversary Sale during the day, when everyone was at work, and she would spend lengthy time poring over the shoe sale and mentally tabbing what she'd like to buy and how much she would save. Good times. Well, though those days are long in the past, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still a favorite event of mine, and I am happy to let you know it's going on now. You can save mega bucks on designer name shoes such as Stuart Weitzman, Franco Sarto, Via Spiga, Enzo Angiolini, Donald J. Pliner and BP (the Nordstrom house brand, a fave of mine). Here are three helpful hints: go on a weekday, get there early, and be prepared to throw elbows. For real! Women can get nasty over sales this good. Style Bard might resort to some violence to get her hands on these 'Angie' slouched boots by Jessica Simpson, only $99.90 for a very limited time--and delightfully Purple!

What irresistible styles are in store for you during this buy one, get one cycle? How about a pair of zoe&zac shoes?

Style Bard faves are these open-toe Purple zoe&zac 'Tigerlily' espadrilles (also available in Brown). Save the Earth and get two pairs of new cute shoes? Now that's a bargain.

While supplies last, shop OldNavy.com for up to 75% off shoes. I had a hard time choosing between these Patent Ballet Flats in Blue, Purple or Gold as Style Bard Faves--though for $12.99 each, you could really get more than one pair.

For example, when I posted about these Purple Patent Skimmer Flats on December 2nd, they were already on sale for the holidays. Originally $45.00, they were then only $24.99. Now they're an additional 25% off, which makes them a final sale price of $18.99 -- so if you passed up the deal before, now's the time to buy before your size sells out. And if you did get them three weeks ago, well why not a second pair? They also come in Black, Gray, Honey and Cinnabar Red.
