I had to share one of my latest shoe purchases, the Naughty Monkey Fiesta in black, today for a couple reasons.  First, I am so loving this shoe, especially the little mini studs all over the heel and across the top.  I also really like how the platform has a snakeskin print, a detail that adds interest without distracting from the overall look.  They’re the kind of pair you can dress up or down, which is also nice.  I can’t say they’re the most comfortable heel ever, especially compared to another Naughty Monkey pair I have (which is one of the most comfy high heels I’ve ever put on), but I haven’t really worn them enough to break them in.  Plus, they aren’t too bad for a hot pair of heels, which we don’t wear for total comfort anyway, and I wouldn’t shy away from wearing them unless some heavy-duty walking was involved.  I’d also say this particular style runs just a bit small and I probably should’ve gone up half a size, but it wasn’t enough of an issue for me to return them.

So, besides wanting to show off my new shoes a  bit, I also noticed that this pair is starting to get marked down at a few places.  I happened to get a great deal at Shoemall during a time that they offered a 30% off $50 coupon, so I paid about $55.  They don’t have that coupon right now, but you can get 15% off this pair in black or purple with coupon code PRCNT15, which drops them to $67.96 with free shipping.  However, Piperlime also offers them in dark brown or purple and they are now marked down to $59.99 with free shipping, which is even better.  Then, the price gets even better for the dark brown pair over at 6pm, where it’s currently $47.99 with $6.95 shipping.  Of course, there’s also the yellow Fiesta, which I haven’t seen on sale yet.  You can get it at Endless for $80.95 with free 2-day shipping.

I’ve been seeing plenty of really good shoe sales going on, so I had to round them up for those of you who may be shoe shopping this weekend.  If you’re craving a hot new pair of shoes, but need them to be light on the wallet too, check these stores out:

I have to start with Sears because they have some unbelievably low prices on their shoes right now.  Sears may not be first place we think of when buying shoes, but they do offer some well-known brands and - wow - these prices are insane.  They are taking an extra 50% off women’s clearance boots and when you look at the shoes, you’d think many of them are already marked down, but you actually get the extra discount at checkout.  Boots aren’t typically on the brain this time of year, but when they start at $2.50 after discount you can’t go wrong.  For example, the MIA Amore McBeavy moto boot (pictured above, at left) or the Laundry List Trishelle (pictured above, at right) are just $5 each.  Plus, there are plenty of other boots to choose from, many of which are under $25 before discount and $12.50 or less after.  Besides boots, Sears is also taking 30% off clearance shoes at checkout, including athletic shoes from brands like New Balance, Skechers and Adidas.  The sale ends 4/17/10.

American Eagle is once again taking an extra 30% off clearance items, including clearance shoes.  They don’t have free shipping this time around, at least not right now, but you can still get cute flats and sandals for very low prices.  I like the AE Leopard Sandal (pictured above left), which is a new arrival to the clearance section and is priced at $24.99 before discount and $17.47 after (originally $29.50).  We also had a commenter in my previous American Eagle sale post that said she was liking the AE Soft Ballet Flat in light blue (pictured above right).  It’s a great color and available for only $13.97 after discount (originally $29.50), although sizes are getting a bit limited.  The sale ends 4/20/10.

Nine West is having their Friends and Family Sale, which always means a sweet discount.  Get 30% off regularly-priced items by applying coupon code NWFRND4 at checkout and shipping is discounted to $5.  I’m loving the sandal featured on their homepage, the super-sexy Nine West Consuela for $89.  It’s available in 4 colors and you can get it for $62.30 after discount.  The sale ends 4/12/10.

Macy’s is having a Great Shoe Sale, which is a buy more, save more sale that takes 15% off 1 pair of shoes, 20% off 2 and 30% off 3.  Many sale items are also included, which is extra-nice since there isn’t a purchase minimum to get these discounts.  Gear up your spring and summer wardrobe with the shoes pictured above, (from left) the Chinese Laundry Block Party for $49, the Marc Fisher Sal for $89 and the Enzo Angiolini Fiama for $89.  You can get 15% off any one of these or 20% off any two, but the real savings come in when you buy all 3 for $158.90 rather than $227, which is $68 off (and kind of like getting a free pair).  Shipping is free on $75 or more with coupon code FIRSTSTEP until 4/17/10.  Sale expiration is unknown.

6pm has some weekend brand-specific super sales going on.  Get up to 65% off Steve Madden, up to 65% off HUGO Hugo Boss shoes, up to 65% off Cole Haan boots, up to 75% off Enzo Angiolini and more.  These sales end 4/11/10.

Shoe Woo, a new site that sells Jones Apparel brand shoes such as Nine West, Anne Klein, Enzo Angiolini and licensed brand Rachel Roy, takes 30% off any regularly-priced order at checkout during their first Friends and Family sale.  One of my faves, the Boutique 9 Val, is reduced from $199 to $139.30 with $5 shipping.  It’s expected to ship 5/11, but it also shows as being on backorder, so it’s possible there’s some additional delay.  The sale ends 4/12/10.

That’s all for now, but I’ll add more sales over the weekend if I see them.  Have a great one!

Hey shoe lovers!  Just a quick note to let you know that I am going out of town for the next couple of days and I won’t be able to post, but I’ll be back in action on Monday!  Have a great weekend!

Happy St. Patty’s Day to everyone!  Today may be the day to wear green or possibly eat or drink something of that color, but you can definitely save some green too.  The buzzword for the day seems to be “Lucky you” because I’m seeing it everywhere - accompanied by a nice discount, of course.  Here are some of the sales I’ve seen:

Macy’s started a new sale today that takes an extra 15% off shoe purchases automatically at checkout.  They are also having a buy 1 pair, get 25% off the second sale on shoes marked as eligible.  These two sales combine, so you’ll see both discounts at checkout on qualifying items.  You also get free shipping on shoe purchase $75 or more with coupon code NEWSHOES until 3/29/10.  Some exclusions apply.

DSW invites you to press your luck and get 15%, 30% or even 50% off at checkout.  To get the discount, add the items you want to your cart, log in to your DSW account and you’ll see your lucky savings at checkout.  Their site appears to be down at the moment, but hopefully that will be fixed very soon.  Expires 3/17/10. 

Update 3/18/10: DSW issued coupon code UNLUCKY today in response to the technical difficulties they experienced.  The code takes $10 off any order until 3/19/10.  It excludes Skechers Shape-ups and Reebok Easy Tones.

Shoemall is taking 20% off orders today 3/17/10 only using coupon code SHAMROCK at checkout.  However, there’s an even sweeter coupon code MISSU30 that takes 30% off until 3/21/10.  The codes apply to sale items too, but some brand exclusions apply.  The Naughty Monkey Fiesta in black or purple goes from $79.95 to $55.97 after the 30% off code.

Shoebuy is having a St. Patrick’s Day sale that takes 20% off any order using coupon code GREEN at checkout.  The coupon expires 3/17/10.

Kenneth Cole takes a generous 40% off at checkout today and shipping is free on $50 or more.  Items that qualify for the discount are marked on the product page.

Charlotte Russe is having a buy 1 pair of shoes, get 50% off the second sale until 3/21/10.  If you don’t plan on purchasing two pairs, use coupon code LUCKYCJ to get 25% off any order 3/17/10 only.  These two discounts don’t combine.

Nordstrom is still offering free shipping on shoes using coupon code SHOES at checkout until 4/12/10.  While not technically a St. Patty’s Day sale, I had to mention that the Naughty Monkey Me O My in black and white is now on sale for just $34.90 with free shipping using the code.  You can also get in in blue.  Another good deal I noticed: The Steve Madden Loyyall for $44.90 with free shipping.

Have a very lucky day!

Here’s to finding some great shoe shopping bargains this weekend!

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up on March 17, I’ve definitely had green shoes on my mind.  While some people don’t necessarily do anything to celebrate the holiday, I think it’s fun to get in the spirit by wearing something green (plus, you’ll avoid a good pinch by St. Patty’s Day revelers on the prowl for anyone not donning the hue).  There are lots of ways to incorporate green into your wardrobe for the Irish holiday, but let’s face it - it’s a great excuse to wear some fabulous green shoes.  Of course, as an added benefit, you can get plenty of wear from a freshly-picked green pair during spring as well.  Here are some of my favorite green shoes that are sure to bring plenty of luck:

So. cute.  The Harajuku Lovers Avallon for $99.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.

Fergie Empower in spinach for $99 at Shoes.com with free shipping.  Apply coupon code MSAVE for 20% off, making them $79.20.  They also come in a lighter shade of green called wheatgrass.

Carlos Santana Glamorous for $55.20 (MSRP $110) at 6pm.

Get a little funky with the Naughty Monkey Knot Sure in green.  The best price is at Amazon for $20-$28 depending on selection, but few sizes are left.  Zappos has them in plenty of sizes for $68.95.

Get even funkier with the Irregular Choice Shimmmy, which will obviously stand out in a major way.  Get these for $120.95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless.

Go for simple and sweet with the Miss Me Monet-5 ankle boot for $39.95 with free shipping from Amazon.

Nine West Beaulah for $83.97 (MSRP $119.95) at 6pm.

The elegant Calvin Klein Daliah for $71 (MSRP $118) at 6pm.

This one strikes me as having a true St. Patty’s Day vibe.  The Carlos Santana Rome for $89 with free shipping at Shoes.com.  Coupon code MSAVE takes them down to $71.20.

Spring-ready: The SM Ven Rosette Wedge in green for $39.95 at DSW.  Take $10 off orders $10 or more with coupon code MARCH10 at checkout (must sign in to use codes), making them $29.95.

Michael Antonio Hagen for $64.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless.

Seychelles Yin for $46 (MSRP $80) at 6pm.

Now, here’s a few of Cheap Chick’s picks for green shoes under $25.  These are all from 6pm:

Zigi NY Gemma for $17.98 (MSRP $44.95).

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone and may the luck o’ the cute green shoes be with you.
