Last Day - 20% Off Hot Topic Shoes

Take 20% off your new shoe order when it totals $50 or more; just look out, because this will likely make you buy two pairs of shoes. For example, these "Leopard Black Bow Velvet Flats" -- which own a '50s retro vibe go but with many current, casual summer outfits -- are only $22.99 to begin with, leaving you with a great excuse to keep shopping.

Want those expensive designer shoes shipped to you ASAP without paying an extra cent? Today's the last day Saks Fifth Avenue is willing to comply when your order totals over $150 and you enter code SHIPMAY. What's even better about this deal is the fact that there's a simultaneous sale going on right now, where many of your favorites may already be marked down by 40% for a limited time. Other shoes, on the other hand, may be well worth full price - like these Valentino "Peep-Toe Lace Couture D'Orsay Pumps" that almost look too pretty to wear and hearken all of the lace rage started by Princess Kate. Check out all of the options and deals so you can save on the cost and shipping for a major markdown in total if you shop before midnight tonight.

Simply use code HTA25JUNE when you're about to check out. New to the selection of shoes at Hot Topic are these 'Gold and Black Leopard Heels' by Leg Avenue. I think every woman needs one pair of over-the-top animal print pumps just to keep things interesting (even if they never leave the house, ifyouknowwhatImean). These don't quite put you over the top for your $50 limit, but as far as I'm concerned that's just a great excuse to check out the other shoes and accessories from Hot Topic.

Shoe Hunt!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here's a letter from a reader looking for green wedding shoes (how fun!):

I need your help!

I'm looking for some green flats. Something totally adorable to wear at my wedding. Something more fun than a plain ballet flat, with a fun flower, embellishment, bow or something... Any advice on where to look? I have 7 months, so there isn't a rush, maybe the spring will bring what I need?

We're going to have green flowers, so something along those lines, but definitely something bright enough to pop (though lighter than a St. Patrick's Day green).

Any advice would be much appreciated! Love your blog (and shoes!).

Liz

You all know what that means; it's time for another Shoe Hunt! As always, the Style Bard is happy to oblige. I know the ins and outs of shoe shopping websites, such as where to find the best shoe sales and free shipping. So if you ever need help locating special or hard-to-find shoes, don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail and I'll try my very best.

First of all, one caveat. Liz, I hope that you mean to wear these flats at your reception and not for walking down the aisle or in photographs! Naturally, you want to be comfortable on what is not only the most memorable but often the longest day of a woman's life. But choosing shoes with a little oomph will change how you stand up straight as you stride to meet your groom, as well as your posture in photographs. Just some general, flexible tips for a little head's up! But assuming that you'll be wearing these at the appropriate times, here are a few examples of what you're looking for (from lowest to highest price). I hope you find what you need!

Kerry by Kate Spade @ 6PM A simple, understated flat lets everyone's attention stay on the bride, her dress and her radiant smile. Trimmed in white to match the gown, this option may make for the perfect green wedding shoe. Plus, you get your bow! $44.00

Acrobat by BC Footwear @ Piperlime These are a simple flat with a slightly pointed toe to peek out from under your gown. They don't offer any embellishments, but the pleating on the upper does add visual interest. $50.00


Chime by Kate Spade @ Zappos You wanted flowers? You've got flowers! Two pom-poms adore the toes on these comfy, slip-on shoes. Perfect for changing out of your formal shoes after the reception and relaxing without resorting to flip-flops! $60.00


Monica by Via Spiga @ 6PM The ornamentation on these shoes is reminiscent of flowers and offers a bit of bling for aesthetic appeal. They're lightly padded and perforated for breathability while you're on your feet for long hours, celebrating and dancing the night away! $61.60

Pause by Ciao Bella @ Piperlime These are definitely bright, fun and unique flats that tie into your green flower theme perfectly. $79.00





Flipper by Apepazza @ Zappos These shoes are certainly not for everyone, but I find them delightful and unique. They're definitely bright and flashy enough to stand on their own under a wedding gown, and I promise they'll get your guests talking. $109.00


Hilla by Robert Clergerie @ 6PM I'm not sure if slip-ons with a slight kitten heel meet the bill, nor do I know if you want to show your toes. But! If these details do appeal to you, I just love these understated yet entirely eye-catching shoes. $145.60


Kelly Green Leather Covered Stud Flats by Balenciaga @ Bluefly These flats are hardly dressy, but they're anything but boring! I certainly like the shade and the fact that they're not too formal to wear again with cute day and evening outfits. $436.00

Moss Sequined Bow Detail Flats by Giuseppe Zanotti @ Bluefly Did someone call for a green, flat wedding shoe? These are the ideal look that comes to mind. They offer you both a bow and sparkling sequins to make your shoes stand out. The white will tie into your gown and the shimmery moss color will pick up green from all of your themed decor. $440.00

And here are three additional, similar options from Zappos. They all have ruffles, bows or flowers adorning various shades of green flats, all at very affordable price points:

Sweet Caroline by Chinese Laundry $38.95

Shimmy by Blowfish $45.90

Florale by Steve Madden $79.90

It's Time for BOGO at Payless!

It's that time again! Yes indeed, it's Buy One, Get One 50% Off time at Payless. You know the drill. Pay for the pair of shoes with the highest price tag, and get half off the pair of shoes with the lower pricetag. Easy as pie! I'm definitely always sucked in to this deal when I'm browing Payless (online or in person) so I still get a wee bit excited every time the sale debuts anew. Actually, I was trying on shoes in a Harlem, NYC, Payless last week and I found a pair of boots I loved. I can't seem to find them on the site right now, which is truly a shame. Instead, I'll offer you these 'Whitney Cuff Boots' by Fioni for considered. I'm not sure what they'd make your ankles look like, but I imagine they could be extremely flattering to the rest of your legs with a pair of dark leggings or tights. This sale only lasts a few weeks, so be sure to check out all of the new Fall shoe styles at Payless while it lasts.

*Deal of the Week* 40% Off ASOS

Those Brits certainly know their shoes! And ASOS is a great place to shoe shop, especially now that you can get great brands for 40% off and still have them shipped from across the pond before your New Year's party. Sure, conversion from pounds to dollars takes a little extra effort, but ASOS makes life easier by taking all major credit cards. Who needs to know the exact dollar amount anyway? All you need to know is that you're saving big. For example, these 'Bow Sandals' by Karen Million are on sale from approx. $178.50 to a much more affordable $107! They are completely gorgeous and will set the tone for any holiday ensemble. That's why they're the Style Bard faves and absolutely the deal of the week!
