I’ve been checking out the latest H by Halston shoes at Bakers and, I must say, they are offering some really cute, on-trend styles for fall at prices that won’t totally break the bank.  The line, which is exclusive to Bakers, is a collaboration with design house Halston and it was launched in May of this year.  The H by Halston Stella was the first style produced and it closely replicates the look of Sarah Jessica Parker’s gold, crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin heels from Sex and the City 2, which she wore with a $325 white Halston Heritage dress.  That was one of the standout looks of the movie and the SATC connection makes even more sense considering Sarah Jessica Parker took on a design role with Halston for their Halston Heritage label earlier this year.  The H by Halston Stella is still available for $79.95 in gold, silver and multi glitter and in brown, white and black leather, but let’s take a look at the new styles for fall:

This is the H by Halston Maria, which appears to be inspired by the Isabel Marant Otway.  There have been plenty of knockoffs and lookalikes for this particular style from the likes of Jeffrey Campbell and Rosegold, but I like the tall, skinny heel (over 5 inches!) and the higher studded shaft of this version, which is priced at $139.95.

The H by Halston Naomi is an ever-versatile platform pump with stud detail that could quickly become a go-to staple in anyone’s shoe collection.  It also has a super-high, over 5″ heel, but the 1.5″ platform helps to balance it out.  I like the tan distressed leather version, but it also comes in silver or black, each for $89.95.

The H by Halston Beverly has a silhouette we’ve been seeing a lot of lately.  It’s a cutout wedge style with a sprinkling of small studs on the heel.  I think the green version is a great color for fall, but it also comes in black or brown.  It’s priced at $89.95.

The H by Halston Gloria combines a glitter platform with a satin upper for a distinctive dressy look.  The style pictured above is a taupe/blush version, called “Ice”, with a multi-colored glitter heel.  You can also get it in black, pewter or gold for $79.95 each.

The H by Halston Liza is an over-the-knee boot in suede.  While there are certainly a lot of over-the-knee boot options out there, the unique decorative metal detail on the heel of this pair helps it stand out:

This one is priced at $169.95 in black or taupe.

These are some of my faves, but you can see even more H by Halston styles over at Bakers.

I’ve got a shoe crush on a new arrival at Endless and, lucky for me, it’s not waayy out of my budget this time (I’ve been drooling over too many high end pairs lately).  The object of my affection right now is the Two Lips Epic platform sandal, which is available at Endless for $99.95 with free overnight shipping.  It actually reminds me a lot of the $850 Sergio Rossi Scalloped Booties I mentioned before, but this pair offers a hefty dose of sparkle with all-over rhinestone studding and another detail we’ve seen a lot lately (and one that I always appreciate): a lace-up, corset-like back.  Let’s take a look at that:

Now, for me, it’s just a question of black or beige, beige or black.  Decisions, decisions…

Also of note: This shoe qualifies for the 25% off $100 discount Endless is currently offering on select styles.  Since it’s a mere 5-cents away from the minimum (grr), at least one more item from this selection of shoes and accessories would need to be added to the order to get the savings.

If you’re a bride-to-be looking for the perfect pair of shoes to wear on the big day and your “Something Blue” item, why not knock out two birds with one stone and wear a gorgeous pair of blue heels?  It’s something that’s become increasingly popular after those infamous blue satin Manolo Blahnik Something Blue heels stole the show in the first Sex and the City movie and because more and more brides are incorporating color into their look instead of sticking with all white.  I love the idea myself and I think I’d probably wear a blue pair instead of silver for my own wedding if I were to do it all over again.  I’ve definitely fallen for the Pour La Victoire Cami (pictured above), which is offered in a gorgeous shade of pale blue satin with rhinestone-covered rosette detail adding a modern twist.  You can get these at 6pm in blue, black or grey for $95.40, which is 40% the MSRP of $159.  Here are more options in various shades for those looking for their own perfect blue bridal shoes for less than $100.  Of course, you don’t even have to be a bride to appreciate and wear these blue beauties:

Me Too Jeanette in royal blue for $89 with free shipping at Zappos.  It’s also available in 6 additional color options, making it a viable bridesmaid option as well.

RSVP Zaza for $99 with free shipping at Zappos.  This is a close lookalike for the Manolo Blahnik Something Blue from SATC.  It also comes in black or gold.

I’m loving the unusually pretty hue of these blue shoes.  This is the RSVP Ivana and you can get this pair for $89 with free shipping at Zappos.  It’s also available in purple or black.

It’s your wedding day - make it sparkle with blue sequins!  The Chinese Laundry Ladybug is $88.95 with free shipping at Zappos.  It also comes in gold or black.  The RSVP Primrose is a similar option with a peep toe and you can get it at 6pm for $58.80.

I love the elegance of dark blue, so I think the RSVP Monique in navy is a sophisticated and stylish choice for brides.  These are $94 with free shipping at Zappos and also come in red or fuschia.

The whisper soft shade of blue and beautiful detailing on the back of this shoe make it as tempting and delicious as wedding cake.  Zappos has the RSVP Roma in blue, champagne or black for $84 with free shipping.

That’s all for my 7 blue bridal shoes under $100, but I also wanted to add this one to the list.  It’s over $100, but too pretty to leave out:

I love the soft shade of light blue, but if you prefer a brighter shade, the Pour La Victoire Stella also comes in royal blue satin and five other colors.  I’m loving the light pink version too.  Get these for $151 with free shipping at Zappos.

Congratulations to any bride-to-be out there and may your “Something Blue” item - whatever it may be - bring you plenty of luck!

It’s 4th of July weekend and time for plenty of fun, but it’s also a great opportunity to save some dough all-American style, especially right now while we’re starting to see big markdowns on summer merchandise.  Independence Day sales are literally everywhere and there are definitely some great shoe sales that have already started, so I thought I would round them up into one big list for anyone who might be shoe shopping this weekend.  I’ll also be updating this list over the next few days anytime I come across more sales and coupons.  So, without further adieu, here’s the rundown of what I’ve seen so far:

American Eagle is having one of their awesome clearance sales right now that also applies to their selection of clearance shoes.  You get an extra 30% off automatically at checkout for a limited time, but then you can also apply coupon code 32944527 to get another 20% off (expiration unknown).  That makes for some super-low prices on their selection of flats, flat sandals and sneakers, like the AE Grommet Sandal (pictured above) that’s on sale for $19.95 and drops to just $11.17 after the code.  Availability can be limited for some styles, so it’s best to shop by size in the top right to narrow it down.  Shipping adds $7, but it’s free if you buy 3 or more items until 7/5/10.

Guess.com is also having a sale on a sale and it takes an additional 50% off already-reduced items.  Browse their women’s sale shoes and, if you see something you like, you’ll see the price slashed in half at checkout.  I like the femininity exuding from the Guess Journ, which features eyelet cutouts and a corset-like lace-up detail on the back.  It’s available for $89.99 in black or white, but the price is reduced to $45 after the discount.  If you spend $100, get free shipping with coupon code FREESHIP100 for a limited time.  The sale expiration is unknown, but it’s likely for the upcoming holiday weekend only.

If you’ve got your mind set on a pair of Chinese Laundry shoes for less, shop Chineselaundry.com and get 30% off any sale shoes when you apply coupon code CL30SALE at checkout.  Make a dramatic statement in the Chinese Laundry Slippery Slope, which has a mix of exotic patterns.  They’re marked down to $69.99 (regularly $119) in black or brown and, after the code, they’ll be yours for $48.99.  The code expires 7/12/10.

80’s Purple offers cutting edge shoe brands like 80%20, Dolce Vita, Industry, Report and more and you can get an additional 25% off your purchase with coupon code fireworks during their Red, White & Purple Sale.  The Dolce Vita Niko wedge in black or brown is priced at $172, but it falls to $129 after the code.  The sale expires 7/5/10.

Shoemall is having a Fourth of July shoe sale and it takes 20% off your purchase via code JULY4.  It applies to regularly-priced items only and shipping is also free.  If you’ve had a gold glitter pump on the brain since Sex and the City 2, you might like the Steve Madden Caryssa platform pump.  It’s $129.95 before the code and $103.96 after.  The coupon expires 7/6/10.

Steve Madden is taking 40% off clearance shoes when you apply coupon code 40CLEARANCE at checkout.  Get a nice price on a clog with plenty of edge, the Steven by Steve Madden Durann, which is so on-trend and marked down from $149.95 to $99.99.  After the coupon, get them for $59.99 in black, brown or red.  The coupon expires 7/11/10.

Koh’s has a new coupon that takes 20% off any purchase, including shoes.  Enter TOPSECRET during checkout to get the discount, which you can even apply to Skechers Shape-Ups (just tested it and it worked).  The Skechers Shape-Ups Action Packed High-Performance Shoes are on sale for $99.99 (originally $109.95), but they are $79.99 after the code, which expires 7/4/10.  Update: This code is now expired, but use code JULYSAVE for 15% off until 7/11/10.

Bloomingdales is having a sale that takes 25% to 40% off select items, including women’s shoes.  On top of that, get another 15% off when you use coupon code SAVE15 in the shopping cart.  I checked it the sale and there’s definitely plenty of low prices going on, but one in particular is the Corso Como Notable studded wedge.  It’s already marked down from $159 to $59.62, but it goes even lower to $50.68 after the coupon, which expires 7/5/10.

More sales & coupons for shoes:

Lord & Taylor: Buy more and save more on select sandals: 30% off one pair, 35% off two and 40% off three.  If the shoes you want don’t qualify for this discount, get 20% off regular, sale and clearance items instead with coupon code JULY4 until 7/5/10.  Some exclusions apply.

The Fourth of July is coming up this weekend, which for many of us means the 5 F’s will be in effect: Food, Family, Friends, Fireworks and Fun.  Part of that fun, in my opinion, is going ALL out in the patriotic spirit of Independence Day by wearing traditional red, white and blue.  Of course, you can always opt for shoes in these colors that will have you looking firecracker hot.  One of my favorites is the Charles David Tapestry (pictured above), which is available at Endless for $122.47, marked down from $174.95.  It ships free via overnight shipping, so there’s still time to order before the holiday weekend.  I also found more options that range from casual and fun to dressy and fab that I think are perfect for the day.  All are from Endless and have free overnight or 2-day shipping as noted:

Jessica Simpson Bobcaty in red for $44.21 with free 2-day shipping.

Spring Step Gardenia in red for $52.46 with free 2-day shipping.

Pilar Abril Magnolia for $71.25 with free 2-day shipping.

Pilar Abril Verbena for $54.60 with free 2-day shipping.

Apepazza Topazio for $74.96 with free 2-day shipping.

Nomad Footwear Sparkles flip flop in red and blue for $23.77 with free 2-day shipping.

Poetic Licence Star Gazing in black, pink or grey for $97.95 with free overnight shipping (no red, white or blue, but love the stars).

Naughty Monkey Rain Dance for $70.95 with free overnight shipping.

Have a happy 4th!

You may plan on buying some shoes this weekend, but you can also make your piggy bank happy in the process.  I’ve rounded up some shoe shopping discounts that will put a smile on your face and keep your little piggy nice and full, metaphorically speaking.  Here’s what I found:

Piperlime is having their Sweet Deal Event that takes up to 30% off a selection of women’s shoes.  There are plenty of styles to choose from, but I noticed a good price on the FitFlop Walkstar in red, which is on sale for $28.50 with free shipping (regularly $50).  That’s practically in Cheap Chick territory (i.e. under $25).  The sale ends 5/30/10.

Old Navy has a selection of cheap flip flops for throwing on at the pool or beach (or anywhere else for that matter). Their classic flops are normally $3.50, but for a limited time you can get 2 pairs for $4 or choose from select colors that are $1.49 a pair.  There are also additional styles listed on this page that are 2 for $5.  If you plan to spend at least $75 on your order, get 15% off and free shipping with coupon code ONCAMP15 until 5/23/10.  There’s also a similar deal at American Eagle.  Buy any pair of shorts and get a select pair of flip flops for $1 for a limited time.

6pm is having their latest round of brand-specific shoe sales, including MIA shoes for up to 65% off, I like the cute fringe MIA Hannah pump, which is marked down to $24.68 (MSRP $73).  The sale expires 5/23/10.

Famous Footwear takes an additional 20% off any order, even sale shoes, when you use coupon code USWEEKLY at checkout.  I noticed that their Skechers Tone-Ups, which are similar to the FitFlop, are discounted to a super-low price.  Originally $54.99, the Skechers Cali Tone-Ups are on sale for $29.99 and reduced even further to $23.99 after applying the code.  The coupon expires 5/31/10.

Shoesteal always has great discounts on shoes and you can get an even better price when you apply coupon code SUNSTEAL for another 15% off.  I noticed some heavily discounted L.A.M.B. shoes, like the L.A.M.B. Gypsy for $142.80 (originally $356.99).  After the code, get them for $121.38.  Sizes are limited for most styles, but you can check out all of their L.A.M.B. shoes and choose your size at the top to narrow it down to what’s available for you. The coupon expires 6/30/10.

More shoes coupons & sales:

25% off and free shipping at Shoebuy with code EMAILFRIENDS10 until 5/23/10.

20% off and free shipping at Shoes.com with code VISA until 10/31/10.
