I’m definitely feeling the shoe love for this hot pink sandal, the Guess Knotted, which I imagine would go perfectly with summer’s version of the LBD, the little white dress, for a fun and flirty warm weather look (note to self: work on tan!).  It also works out well that Endless, who must have felt my shoe love vibes coming their way, is taking discounts on select statement shoes right now: $15 off $80 with coupon code STATMNT1, $30 off $150 with code STATMNT2 and $50 off $250 with code STATMNT3 at checkout.  That takes $15 off this $98.95 pair, making them $83.20.  Besides my favorite pink, white and platinum version, it also comes in a black and gold Knotted 2 version for the same price or a blue G-Knotted 3 version for $98.99 before discount.  Free 2-day shipping is included.  The coupons expire 6/2/10.

The cast of The City has returned for Season 2 of the MTV show (technically Season 3, but whatevs) and, as always, I’ve got an eye on these ladies’ style, particularly their cute shoes.  We haven’t seen any of those shoe close-up shots they’re known to do on the show so far (after the first two episodes anyway), but I do know that some people are interested in the shoes worn in the promo pics for the show.  They definitely have some standout pairs going on in these photos and I’ve attempted to find out which shoes they are and lookalike versions that are also hot, but cost a fraction of the price.  Here’s what I found for Whitney:

Whit looks really amazing in this shot.  She’s got legs for miles and they end with one of the hottest designer shoes of the moment, the Fendi Cinderella:

Fendi somehow manages to make a huge clear platform heel look, well, classy and  Whitney is donning a gorgeous light blue version of this frothy concoction.  There were many colors featured in the Fendi Spring 2010 show, but the only one I’ve seen for sale is the blush version at Net-A-Porter.  It’s $1,195 and nearly sold out.  There’s also an alternate version of the Fendi Cinderella at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,140, but it’s almost sold out as well.

Now, it’s not an easy thing to find anything that remotely resembles this shoe.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see a knockoff at some point, as we usually do, but I haven’t seen anything so far.  However, I did find some shoes that incorporate some of the elements of this pair resulting in a similar look:

The Bebe Scarlett Scarf Sandal reminds me of the Fendi sandal more than anything else I’ve seen, even though the colors are bold and bright rather than subtle and soft (it would still rock with a white outfit like Whitney’s though).  It comes in black or pink at Bebe for $179, but unfortunately they are almost sold out.  However, they do re-stock styles from time to time, so hopefully we’ll see it available in more sizes again.

The Touch Ups Celine Heel is available in black or silver for the base and it comes with four different multicolored scarves so you can change up your look.  You can get these for $69.99 at Shoebuy and coupon code MOM takes 20% off for a limited time, making them $55.96 with free shipping.

The Colin Stuart Canvas Lace-Up Sandal is sold at Victoria’s Secret for $68.

The pretty Zigi Soho Fabulous in black is dramatic and airy, making it a viable alternative for the Fendi pair.  Get it at Journey’s for $49.99.  You can also check out the somewhat similar and even less expensive Patent Ruffle Lace Heel at GoJane for just $21.80.  It comes in a wider variety of color options.

Update: I ran across the Aldo Nelton and it also reminds me somewhat of the black Fendi Cinderella in wedge form, minus the super-high clear platform of course.  It’s $80 at Aldo.com.

Update 2: Check out these shoes from Bakers for more options: The Scarfy WP (pictured above) for $59.99 in ivory or black, the Star for $49.99 in black or the Tonya for $49.99 in orange, turquoise, white or multi.

Whitney also rocks a good-girl-gone-bad look in another promo photo, which features the Giuseppe Zanotti Zip Cuffed Jewel Sandal, available at Neiman Marcus for $1,360 or Zappos for the same price.  Here are some similarly sexy looks for less:

ZiGiny Erratic for $199.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.  Update:  Here are a couple more lookalikes for this pair that are much more affordable, the Black Strappy Stud Ankle Heel at Americlubwear for $25.99 and the Celeste Yama-10 Jeweled Open Toe Sandal at Urban Originals for $28.90.

Nine West Inquisat for $129 at Ninewest.com.  Get 20% off at checkout until 5/9/10, which drops them to $103.20.  They ship 5/18/10.

ALDO Tinder in black for $69.98 at Aldo.com, reduced from $90.  It also comes in beige for $59.98.  Use coupon code FSNEWMAY10 for free shipping.

ZiGiny Gaga for $53.95 at Karmaloop.  Apply coupon code CLINTON to take 20% off, making them $43.16 (list price $180) plus shipping.  That’s the best price I see, but sizes are limited.  Amazon also has them for $77 with free shipping.

Of course, we also have the cage heel Whitney wears in the intro of The City, during the opening credits where she’s stepping out of a taxi cab.  This promo was shot quite some time ago and the shoe may have been the Dolce Vita Cher, which basically isn’t available any longer, but luckily this kind of caged, ghillie tie style is still popular and available from other brands. Here are a few I’ve seen:

Chinese Laundry Lucky Strike for $80 at Shoes.com.  Apply coupon code MOMSAVE20 for 20% off, making them $64 with free shipping.  The coupon expires 5/9/10.

Nine West Jemmia for $89 at Ninewest.com.  They qualify for an extra 30% off and an extra 20% off at checkout until 5/9/10, which reduces them to $49.84 with $5 extra for shipping.

 GoJane Laced-Up Cage Heel for $22.60.

Finally, we have the shoes Whitney wore for her Whitney Eve fashion show in Bryant Park.  According to Whitney’s blog, her outfit is Whitney Eve and the shoes are from Lanvin. It looks like this Lanvin high-heeled sandal for $430 at YOOX, but this one is in black and only one size is left.  Here are some alternatives:

Betsey Johnson Gemma in gold leather for $86.25 at 6pm.

Luichiny Gal Lop in champagne for $45.87 at Amazon.

Nina Clova in gold satin for $79 at Shoes.com.  Coupon code MOMSAVE20 takes 20% off until 5/9/10, making them $63.20 with free shipping.

Next time, I’ll talk about more shoes from Erin, Olivia and Roxy from The City, plus shoes from MTV’s The Hills.

6pm has over 100 styles of Chinese Laundry shoes on sale starting today with discounts of up to 70% off.  That puts some styles as low as $17 and others as high as $74, plus everything in-between.  I see plenty of cute shoes in this selection at great prices, like the Chinese Laundry Sassyfras sandal (above) in red, taupe or black for $53.40.  I’ve mentioned this pair before, but the 6pm price is quite a bit lower than what I saw then and a bargain compared to other stores that currently offer it.  Here’s a couple more styles with big savings:

Chinese Laundry Wiz in grey, black or brown for $26.70 (regularly $89).

Chinese Laundry Frenchie in bronze or black for $26.70 (regularly $89).  Update: Get an even better price at Shoemall, where this pair is marked down to $31.99.  Apply coupon code PRCNT15 to get 15% off, making them $27.19 with free shipping (6pm charges extra for shipping).

Chinese Laundry Ashanti in white or multi for $29.95 (originally $99).

The sale ends 5/9/10.

Ninewest.com is known for having some pretty good sales, but sometimes they kick it up a notch into “fabulous” territory.  That’s how I’d describe their current sale, which allows you to double-dip your discounts for big savings on their summer sandals.  They are taking 20% off any sandals, but the biggest savings come in when you pick a pair that is marked as having an extra 50% or 30% taken off at checkout since the discounts stack on top of each other.  For instance, the Nine West Elkie (pictured above) is regularly priced at $89 and is eligible for an extra 50% off and another 20% off when you add it to your cart.  That knocks it down to just $35.60 with four color options available.  Shipping is also currently discounted to a flat rate of $5. 

I’m also liking this pair:

The Nine West Keysor in black, red or olive for $31.99 after the 50% + 20% discounts (regularly $79.99).

See all of their sale sandals for more low-priced options.  The sale ends 5/9/10.

If you haven’t heard, Martin + Osa - which is owned by American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. - is closing all stores and its online presence at martinandosa.com.  As a result, they’ve started taking markdowns on their merchandise today and you can get 30% off any order automatically at checkout, including their selection of women’s shoes.  We’ve seen 30% off sales before from the retailer, but more often than not it applied to sale items only or had exclusions that eliminated certain brands from being discounted.  Not so this time around; however, all sales are final at this point.  The good news is you can get a nice discount on the 37 shoe styles they currently offer from brands like Dolce Vita, Converse, Jeffrey Campbell, Corso Como and more.  I’m liking the Dolce Vita Colette, which is $126 after the discount (originally $180).  This pair is also available at Shopbop for $180, but it’s practically sold out, so this is a good bargain if you’ve been coveting this style.  It’s also notable that they offer Havaianas Slim Flip Flops on sale in several color options for $17, reduced from $24.50 (scroll down to see them).  I’m not sure how long this sale will last, or if the discount will increase at some point, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t go without a great wedge heel for spring and summer (or any other time of the year for that matter).  I love that the height of a wedge heel does wonders for flattering the legs, but they also provide much more comfort than a skinny heel - a total win-win scenerio.  It gets even better when you find a really hot-looking wedge for a great price, like the Dollhouse Kendra.  You’ll see this particular pair for $59.95 at other stores, but Journey’s has them marked down to just $29.99 in black or leopard.  That’s a nice, easy-breezy price for a cool pair of kicks and, as an added bonus, the Kendra features mini studs, one of my fave shoe details of the moment.  If you’re looking for other color options, try Amazon or Endless.  I’m liking the red version too, which is $59.95.

You might recognize the lovely Brian Atwood Loca (pictured above) as the pair of shoes Sarah Jessica Parker wears as Carrie in Sex and the City 2 and, even though the movie isn’t out until May 27, you can get a jump-start on your own SATC style before it’s even released.  The Loca is available at Net-a-Porter for $800, quite a chunk of change, and there’s only 1 size available right now.  If you’re looking for a more affordable lavender studded heel lookalike for the Brian Atwood Loca, try this pair: 

The Steve Madden Twilitte is available at Steve Madden for $109.95 and you can get 25% off and free shipping with coupon code FF25 until 5/31/10.  It also comes in black.

I also spotted this Star Spangled Stiletto in black at Forever 21 for $25.80.  It doesn’t come in lavender, but I think it has a similar look to the Atwood pair.  Sizes are limited.

Update: Here’s a Brian Atwood Loca knockoff from GoJane.  It’s $29.90 and comes in black, grey or red.

Now the question is, would you pair your lavender stud heels with capri jeans and a belly-baring plaid shirt like Carrie does in SATC2?
