Smartbargains is having a sweet sandal sale and I couldn’t help but notice the bargains they are offering on Harajuku Lovers shoes.  That’s Gwen Stefani’s line of fun and funky footwear (and many other items) inspired by the street style in the Harajuku area of Tokyo.  I find that the brand is somewhat reminiscent of Gwen’s L.A.M.B. line, but the shoes are much more affordable, and I like the fun, girly details they have, like the heart-shaped buckles and pink sole found on many styles.  Right now, Smartbargains has a selection of Harajuku Lovers sandals marked down to $36.98 or less and you get an additional 30% off each pair if you buy two or more.  Do the math and that adds up to a max of $51.76 for two pairs, which is only $25.88 a piece.  That’s a great deal and the $36.98 Harajuku Lovers Karis (pictured above) is eligible, but let’s check out a few more styles:

Harajuku Lovers Kasi for $36.98 in red, black, blue, brown and natural.

Harajuku Lovers Kameryn for $36.98 in silver, brown or black.

Harajuku Lovers Dalle for $36.98 in black (red is sold out).

For more eligible sandals from a wide variety of brands, check out the entire shoe sale.  The expiration is 7/24/10.

I talked about some coupons that take further discounts on sale and clearance shoes yesterday, but we have another sale on a sale with even bigger total savings to discuss today.  You may know that Martin + Osa, which is owned by American Eagle Outfitters, is closing and they are continuing their Final Sale by taking steeper markdowns on their merchandise than we saw before.  This includes their selection of women’s shoes and it gets even better when you get a whopping extra 50% off your order automatically at checkout.  The selection of shoes is certainly getting limited at this point, but there’s still some great deals to be had.  Case in point: The Dolce Vita Ivory flat sandal in pewter (pictured above) is marked down from $130 to $59.95, but drops to just $29.98 at checkout.  I checked around and other stores that carry it still have it listed in the $125-ish range, so it’s definitely a bargain.  You can also get Havaianas Slims and other flip flops for $7.48 after discount, plus more styles from brands like Dolce Vita, Schu, Rough Justice and Dulce at super-low prices (none are over $30 after the savings).  Note that all sales are final and shipping adds $7.  The expiration, if any, is unknown.

Update: The sale expires 7/28/10 when the store will be closing its doors.

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.

Shoebuy: 20% off with coupon code JULY4 and free shipping.

Macy’s: Extra 25% off clearance shoes (prices reflect discount) and free shipping on $99 or more with coupon code FIREWORKS until 7/5/10.

That’s all for now, but be sure to check back for more shoes sales for the 4th!

Chinese Laundry has an extra-good coupon available right now for use at chineselaundry.com, so it’s a good time to buy if you’ve been eyeing a pair from this brand.  Get 25% off any cute shoes they offer when you apply coupon code CLFAMILY610 at checkout.  That makes the Chinese Laundry Haughty in black (pictured above) drop from $89 to $66.75.  Of course, we love the versatility of black shoes, but a pop of bright color always goes a long way.  I’m finding the rainbow of color options available in this style quite cheerful (and tempting):

Of note, if you like the blue version, you can get them for less at 6pm for $53.40 and at Alloy for $49.99, but not many sizes are left.  Amazon has black and blue for $60.35.

I’m also checking out the Chinese Laundry Drastic wedge (pictured below), which comes in zebra, leopard, black, white or gold for $69.  After the coupon, you can get them for $51.75.

The coupon expires 6/14/10.

DSW is offering a higher-than-usual discount right now that takes 30% off one regularly-priced item using coupon code SHOPMAY at checkout.  That’s super-sweet considering that certain shoes at DSW are already priced a lot lower than other online stores and another 30% goes a long way in stretching our cute shoe dollars.  As an example, the Seychelles Hulabaloo (pictured above) is priced at $79.95 in yellow, black or cognac and 30% off reduces it to just $55.97.  I haven’t seen it listed for less than $100 elsewhere, making this a fab bargain.  Love it! 

I also noticed that the coupon appears to work on Skechers Tone-Ups, the Skechers version of the FitFlop, and Skechers Shape-Ups.  The Skechers Tone-Ups Flip Flop above is $44.95 before the coupon and $31.47 after, while most of the Skechers Shape-Ups are $69.97 after the coupon ($99.95 before).  These fitness shoes are normally excluded from coupon discounts, but the code worked when tested.  To use the code, you must be a Rewards Member, which is free, and be sure to add second coupon code SHIPR for free shipping if your order is over $35.  Expiration: 5/23/10.

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.
