*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!

40% Off Piperlime - Save On Your Faves

Piperlime is now hosting the Save On Your Faves Event, where a select assortment of accessories and shoes are marked down by 40%! Plus, of course, enjoy Free Shipping on your order. For example, these Nine West "Altan" slingback sandals are now $59.99, down from an original $89! A little less literal than some of the actual studded clogs out there, these bring the chic '70s twist we're all craving right now without too much retro heft. They come in three color options, but it's the double buckles that really seal the deal for me -- you know how I love my hardware.

New! Faster Free Shipping from Piperlime

Piperlime always offered Free Shipping. In fact, its powers were so far-reaching that if you ordered from Old Navy, Gap or Banana Republic and added any item from Piperlime to your cart, you could receive Free Shipping. But your new shoes (and possibly a new outfit, too!) used to take up to a week to get to you. If you wanted faster shipping, you still had to pay. But as of this week, Piperlime now offers Free Shipping in 3-5 business days on every order: no codes, no minimums. And yes, this still extends to the site's sister-stores as well. Making it even quicker and easier for you to splurge on those cold-weather boots you've been aching for, like these steampunk-style 'Niles' peep-toe ankle boots by none other than Betsey Johnson. They're available in two colors and already marked down by about $100.

30% Off at Piperlime

Take 30% off a selection of shoes that have been designated 'Fall Favorites' at Piperlime. These aren't summer season sandals or last year's looks, they're fresh favorites and yet they're still marked down for your ease of shopping for a short while. And I'll tell you why I loved these Vince Camuto 'Coco' booties instantly--well, not I won't, but I'll hint for now: my Halloween costume may involve needing any shoes in Blue. If you're wondering: Does Style Bard only ever worry about what shoes she's going to wear on Halloween, and then build the rest of her outfit around that? Rest assured, the answer is yes. If you are not wearing my costume in particular, you may be more interested in Coco in Black.

New shoe arrivals are a sure bet, such as these 'Pierce' boots by Sam Edelman.

Lime Tag Sale Now 50% Off

Remember this? Well the Piperlime Lime Tag sale just got even better, because styles that were originally marked down by up to 40% are now marked down by up to 50%! Sure, this means that many of the sizes in the bestselling shoes might be gone, but it also makes the hunt for the best deal that much more exciting. Sure, someone may have been smart enough to hit up the sale before you, but you get to boast that you saved an addition 10%. The lowest priced non-flip-flop non-plastic shoe are these 'Crete' sandals by Wanted. And may I just say...I want them? I know, I know, they're not like me at all.

Piperlime Lime Tag Sale

The Lime Tag Sale is now in full swing at Piperlime! This means all of your favorite brands and styles may now be marked down well below their asking price--but only while this sale lasts, or supplies sell out. Right now, what I need personally are more wedges, so that's where my fancy took me when perusing this sale. Wedges from brands ranging from Steve Madden to Lucky Brand to Via Spiga, and are now up to 40% off! Style Bard thinks these Moschino Cheap & Chic 'Sandwich' wedges are just too twee and cute to be true, but they're for real. I'm not sure I'd take them out to a real picnic, but a nice lunch date on a terrace would definitely find these on my pedicured feet. Sizes are selling out pretty quickly, so make your move--and don't worry about rash decisions, since any necessary returns will be free. Style Bard also always recommends checking out reviews to see if shoes fit true to size.

*Deal of the Week* 20% Off Bridal Shoes at Piperlime

I have a few rules about bridal shoes. First of all, I'm a big fan of blue shoes. Yes, it takes care of 'something blue' but more importantly, have you ever seen a bride-to-be stressing out about matching the exact shade of her dress to the exact shade of shoes? It can be a headache. Blue shoes takes away that pain for you. Another rule of mine is that brides should have two pairs of shoes: one for the aisle and one for the reception. Many brides change their dress, but wind up either kicking off their shoes to dance or simply wearing flats in the first place. I beg of you not to do this. You must walk tall to your groom in high heels; your posture will come through in photos, I promise you won't regret this choice. But do not wear your bridal shoes for the first time as you head down the lane. Practice, practice, practice in advance and be sure to break in those shoes!

Right now, when you shop for bridal shoes at Piperlime, you can automatically save 20%. Sure, that's barely going to cushion the overall wedding costs, but every penny counts, right? Use the button below to land on the specific styles selected and recommended for brides! There aren't too many blue options, but there's a wide array of flat and high styles in different shades from which to choose.

Careful with Cuffed Sandals

Many shops are touting cuffed sandals as a must-have look for Spring/Summer. And many cuffed sandals are super cute. However, girls do need to be careful when choosing cuffed sandals, because the right height and width can make or break the entire line of your leg. For example, I like these 'Chainge' sandals by Steve Madden at Piperlime. The slight wedge gives your legs some lift while the t-strap in front will also create a visual line to give your body added elongation. That makes up for the potentially unflattering line of the cuff, and the ankle straps aren't so thick as to weigh you down. Plus, this style comes in three colors and is now on sale for $20 off.

When buying cuffed sandals, you've just got to be extra scrutinizing in front of the mirror before you lay down your credit card. And be sure to think about what you'll wear these sandals with; you don't want to buy something to pair with dresses that's going to conflict with the length of your hem. Trust me, it's not worth wearing a cute shoe if you just wind up looking short and stumpy. No fashion accessory is worth a dime if it looks pretty but does not help to enhance your beauty. And cankles? Are never your friend. You don't have to ignore this season's big trend, but just remember to be careful with cuffed sandals.

Last Day for 20% Off Crocs

Today is the last day that you can shop Crocs at Piperlime and receive 20% off your final pricetag. All you have to do us apply code HOORAY at checkout! Although I've never been the biggest fan of Crocs, I have to admit that there are a few styles worthy of consideration. One such style is 'McCall Winter' which is an enclosed ballet flat with a suede-looking upper. Unfortunately this shoe only comes in Black, because I would love to see it in some of the more bright and cheerful colors that are associated with Crocs. These cute (and presumably comfortable) everyday shoes are only $30 before your discount.

Save 20% Off Piperlime Shoes

Want to save 20% off whichever pair of Piperlime shoes you choose--with few restrictions? Just pick your shoes and place them in your shopping cart, then use code L9DXF6VH4F13 to check out before midnight tonight. Here's the caveat: this is my personal code received through e-mail, so it's only going to work one time. But since I have seriously limited my shoe splurging since moving to NYC, I'm going to pass this great opportunity along to you whoever grabs it first. And if you sign up for Piperlime's newsletters, you'll also receive discounts like this through e-mail. If I were going to use this code, I'd probably want these 'Gypsy' sandals by Seychelles. The wide band at the top of the shoe should be slimming, and the peep-toe shows just the right amount of toe. For me, these would be a perfect addition for Spring. If you don't get to the code first, you can still take advantage of amazing prices on Final Sale items (which the code doesn't apply to anyway) or of course you can always shop with Free Shipping and Free Returns from Piperlime.

Piperlime's Best of Boots Sale

Piperlime has collected all of its bestselling on-sale boots onto one page for easier shopping; it's the equivalent of an editor's guide to affordable boots, which I find mighty helpful. With approximately 100 top-choice options, prices range from $29.99 to $319.99, so there's something for everyone. Style Bard faves are these 'Doris' boots by BCBGirls. Although I was eyeing a lot of the more casual styles with cool hardware and other fun details, I realized that the beauty for these lies in their simplicity. They can be worn with far more outfits than most other options, they will transcend the seasons better and they can be dressed up or down. My favorite little touch is the curve on the inside of the heel that keeps them modern. They're also available at a fair price point, on sale for less than $100. But there are a lot of options in every boot style and height, so check out all of the Best of Boots at Piperlime.
