*Deal of the Week* Online Shoes Anniversary Sale - Expiring This Week - March 16th, 2009

Saturday Note from Style Bard
There are only three days left to win free shoes from Shoebuy! The winner will be announced on the Style Bard / Style Bard Shoes 3rd Anniversary on March 18th, 2009. Check out great specials this week from both blogs, such as Style Bard Faves at the original Style Bard and Green Shoe Week in honor of St. Patrick's Day on Style Bard Shoes.

*Deal of the Week* Online Shoes Anniversary Sale

So, it's Friday the 13th. What better deal for today's *Deal of the Week* than with the 13th Anniversary Sale from OnlineShoes.com? Through the end of the weekend, you can save big on thousands of brand names. I adore these Carlos by Carlos Santana 'Python' flats in Pewter or Olive (seen here), now 67% off for $44.95. They look like they cost a lot more, don't they?? If you're going to go casual and comfortable, at least add some seasonal style with animal print design, add a little flash of patent, show flare with the inverted zipper accent (y'all know how the Style Bard loves zippers)--and you've got a stylish alternative to the everyday ballet flat that can be dressed up or down. Check out these and other discount prices before the anniversary sale ends this Monday.

40% Off + Free Shipping from Payless

This season's BOGO has come to a close, so now it's time to save 40% off select Spring shoes in the Hello Spring Sale. Not only that, but you can also receive Free Shipping on your whole order when you spend a minimum of $50. At Payless, that goes a long way! I'd start with these American Eagle 'Karter' peep-toe wedges, which are now only $19.99 and available in Black, Teal or White. But there are also some very affordable flats, sandals and heels that are very tempting, and I wouldn't be surprised if I come home with a few new shoes the next time I go to check out Payless wares.

MBT Sandals from The Walking Company + Free 2nd Day Shipping

Look out! It's a Tuesday Twofer! That's right, two sales in one day. I recently heard about MBT sneakers and sandals for the first time, and I was definitely intrigued, if not just for what they supposedly do for your health--improve posture, burn calories and increase muscle tone--but because they just look so damn strange! I checked these out in person, lifting the shoes (lighter than they looked) and studying the different styles (uglier than other sandals, of course, but less ugly than you'd think). The Walking Company is now adding MBT to its collection of comfort shoes, and shoppers will receive 2nd Day Shipping with their purchase for a limited time. If you've been intrigued by the comfort of Uggs combined with the exercise enhancement of FitFlops, I think MBT is the right pick for you this season. Style Bard faves are these 'M Walk' sneakers in Pink, which don't look too weird; more like sneakers with some height, like a hidden platform (which is, suffice it to say, another benefit). They create a rolling motion when the wearer is walking, jogging or running, while hugging the wearer's feet in a pleasant cushion of support. Stay in shape with greater ease in MBTs.

Save Some Cash on Victoria's Secret Shoes

Now this is queer. I have two different notices in my inbox with two different deals from Victoria's Secret. One says that you can save $15 on $100 purchases by using the code GETVS. The other one says you can save $20 on $100 with code VSSAVINGS. They arrived less than two days apart, and one doesn't appear to be a correction or update on the other. It's just two entirely different sales, with the same stipulations and the same expiration date. Weird! Why would you use the code to get 15% off when you have one for 20% off?? Anyhow, other deals include $30 off $150 and $75 off $250 -- not valid on Ugg or Frye boots (same on both emails). Style Bard faves are these crazy-fun Betsey Johnson 'Cut-Out Wedge Sandals'--very apt for this crazy-ass deal. Victoria's Secret includes a few other funky wedges and cut-out heels as well, but these are the zaniest. And, um. If I get them, I'll be using the VSSAVINGS code. I just don't see why you wouldn't. So, so strange.

Last Day for Free Shipping on Saks Fifth Avenue Shoes

Today is the last day to receive Free Shipping on orders over $200 from Saks Fifth Avenue. Pick out your favorite designer shoes and add them to your cart, using promo code SPRING9 at checkout. Style Bard faves are these off-the-wall Miu Miu 'Sandali' slides, covered in sequins and sure to be a hit at any social event. The oil-slick rainbow of colors is one way to imitate the creative patterns and textures you'll be seeing on shoes this Spring. And in case you couldn't tell from the Prada-based brand, yes, they're well over your qualifying $200 price mark. But so pretty!
