*Deal of the Week* 70% Off Fall Shoes at Shopbop - While Supplies Last

Saturday Note from Style Bard
October is upon us, there's a distinct chill in the air even when it's sunny outside, and I can't stop looking at motorcycle boots. It's officially Fall. I only have two sweaters in NYC right now; the rest of my winter things are in storage. That's going to need amendment, but shopping seems rather more appealing than journeying to said storage facilities and sorting through old boxes. If I pick up some new cold-weather threads, I'll be sure to take some pictures and let you know when I got. And, of course, new boots must be purchased ASAP. Expect more Style Bard Faves to come in the shape of knee-high boots in the coming weeks! How about you, are you ready for the cold? ~ SB

*Deal of the Week* 70% Off Fall Shoes at Shopbop

Shopbop has added new Fall shoe styles to its 70% off clearance section! Unlike some other online stores and boutiques, the sale and clearance merchandise doesn't only represent unseasonal shoe styles. There are plenty of on-trend enclosed shoes at very rewarding prices available that will carry you through the cooler months with elegance. For example, these 'High Heel Stack Loafers' by Marc by Marc Jacobs are now only $105 (down from $350.00)! I would wear these shiny, glorious shoes with just about everything, from a LBD to dark-wash jeans. They're definitely suitable for both work and play. That's why these newest markdowns qualify for this week's *Deal of the Week.*

Sale on Simple Shoes

Happy October! Is everyone ready for apple picking and haunted houses and end-of-season holiday vacations. How about a great pair of comfortable shoes to wear as you trek around outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather before it's too late? For a limited time, you can buy most popular styles of Simple's eco-friendly, organic, vegan or sustainable shoes for less than $15! Naturally, I need to fall for the more expensive shoes on the website though. I was eyeing these 'TOEtally Organic Cotton' boots at first, remorseful that they cost $120. Only to discover several minutes later that they're actually currently on sale for only $69! That's nearly 50% off the original price, which makes me more than happy. And guess what? They'll make the environment more than happy too, because they're part of the Green Toe(TM) collection of earth-friendly comfort shoes. Buy them before they sell out at this amazing price!

Last Day to Take 25% Off Steve Madden Shoes

Today is your last chance to save 20% on any order of Steve Madden shoes totaling at least $100, or 25% on any order of at least $125. You don't need to use any codes; all shoes qualify. Style Bard faves (other than boots, just to challenge myself) are these 'SOCIALIT' platform pumps in Magenta (they also come in Black or Blue). Okay, I know they're super crazy and probably impossible to walk in, even for a skilled high-heel wearer like myself, but hey--everyone needs a little drama in their lives. Why not wear it on your feet where it's nice and manageable? Special holiday occasions, look out! All orders ship for a flat rate of $6.95, but you can also qualify for Free Shipping with code SMFREESHIP for a limited time.

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.

Always $5.95 Ground Shipping (Free Deliveries to Your Local Store)

20% Off Reeboks

This deal is super easy. Want to take 20% off your entire order from Reebok.com? Simply use code TAKE20 at checkout, and the discount will apply. You don't need to meet a minimum--you don't need to pick from a limited pool of shoes--you don't need to do a headstand and sing the National Anthem. Just click this code into place and you'll instantly save on your new sneakers. EasyTone, YourReebok, Core Classics and NHL Jerseys are excluded (NFL products are included). I'm no fan of sneakers, but if I were to choose from the women's sneakers available by Reebok, I'd go with these sleek 'CB Runners' which the site calls 'classy, casual and understated' and I definitely agree.

You have until midnight tonight to save 15% on your favorite pair of Piperlime shoes. All you have to do is meet the minimum shopping bag quota of $150, and enter code PL15OFF150 before you check out. Style Bard faves are these 'Nadia' boots by Mis Sixty. They're soooo not my usualy look, but there's some strange attraction to them that I simply cannot shake.

Saturday Note from Style Bard
Hey guys! Hope you've been doing well--I feel like September has been a chaotic and busy month for just about everyone. But it's almost October! Out of curiosity: what are you going to be for Halloween? Do you need certain shoes to complete the look? ~SB
