Jeffrey Campbell Tick in tribal at Karmaloop for $120

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

 

 

The Jeffrey Campbell Tick is definitely one of those shoes that invokes a strong reaction.  From what I can tell, it’s a “love it or hate it” kind of style with not much in-between.  And those who love it, well, they really love it.  Just check out the blogs of Jeffrey Campbell and Solestruck, who report the frenzy of emails and calls they’ve received about this shoe and it’s availability.  Personally, I’m a fan - I sang the praises of the white and burlap versions in my Christmas Eve post.  I can see why it might be a bit extreme for some people, but that’s what makes it such a statement-making, head-turning kind of style.  I also love interesting details on the heel of a shoe and the series of small metal tacks used all over the wedge of the Tick definitely qualifies as unique.  We’ve seen this pair in black, white and burlap so far and Solestruck reports that a zebra version will be available soon.  We also now have a tribal Jeffrey Campbell Tick, which is exclusively at Karmaloop and available for preorder now:

Karmaloop notes in their blog that the Tick Shoe in Tribal appears to be inspired by the Givenchy Spring 2010 collection.  At first glance, I wasn’t too sure about the busy design on these, but I tend to like the Tick better when I see it actually being worn.  I can imagine the possibilities much more with this photo:

Yes, I think there are plenty of little black dresses out there that need an infusion of this wild, untamed style.  If you love.want.need the tribal Tick for yourself, head over to Karmaloop and get them for $150.  Apply coupon code XOXO for another 20% off, which makes them $120.  Coupon expires 2/16/10.

Update 2/20: It looks like Karmaloop is currently sold out.

Update2 3/23: The tribal Tick is back in stock at Karmaloop again - plus I found a bronze and pewter version of the Tick at another store - see the details here.

Update3: It’s sold out at Karmaloop again, but Eilatan also offers the Jeffrey Campbell Tick in tribal for $142.79.  Apparently, it’s not exclusive to Karmaloop any longer.  Singer22 also offers it for $264.

Update 4: It’s back again at Karmaloop.

Loving the new Naughty Monkey ‘Me O My’ & ‘Fiesta’ shoes

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I’m definitely a fan of Naughty Monkey and their line of fun and unique shoes.  One new style I’m craving right now is the Naughty Monkey Me O My pump, which has that classic combination of black and white along with edgy details like studs and snake print.  I tend to wear a lot of black, grey and white, often mixed with a pop of bright color, and I imagine this pair would really add some extra flair to that kind of look.  You can get these at Shoemall for $69.95 and get another 15% off with coupon code NEXJUMP, making them $59.46.  They are also available in yellow or blue.

Update: I noticed a better price for this shoe at Nordstrom.  Get it on sale in white or blue for $34.90 and use coupon code SHOES at checkout for free shipping.  The sale price expiration is unknown, but the coupon expires 4/12/10.

I’m also crushing on the super-hot Naughty Monkey Fiesta.  In contrast to the ‘Me O My’, this shoe would be perfect for adding that pop of bright color to your outfit and I’m loving the reptile print on the platform.  I also have a weakness for extra-small baby studs, especially the ones along the heel, so I’m seriously coveting this pair.  My favorite is the yellow version, which is sold at Endless for $80.95, but it also comes in brown, black or purple.  If you like the purple, Shoemall has it for $79.95 and you can use the above coupon for another 15% off, making them $67.96.  Update: Get this pair in black or purple at Shoemall for $55.97 using coupon code MISSU30, which takes 30% off until 3/21/10.

Update: Endless is almost sold out of the yellow Fiesta, but you can also get it at Nordstrom for $79.95.  Get free shipping using coupon code SHOES until 4/12/10.

Coupon expiration is unknown.

Cheap-A-Thon: Cute cheap heels under $25

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

As you may know, Cheap Chick has a love for finding shoes on the cheap (i.e. under $25) and even more so now that Valentine’s Day is coming up.  She tends to get all gooey and sentimental about it around this time of year, in contrast to the bad little birdie alter-ego we’ve seen before, but it works out well for anyone looking for their own cute cheap shoes because she’s even fiercer when on the hunt.  Since it is getting close to V-Day, Cheap Chick decided to totally focus on finding heels this time - since many like to get dressed up for the day of love - and she even threw a few pink and red pairs in for good measure.  Here’s what she found:

Two Lips Ceporah in red satin and five other color options for $19.49 (MSRP $77.95) at 6pm.  Update: Now $15.59.

Nine West Rocha in pink or blue for $19.75 (MSRP $79) at 6pm.  Update: Now $15.80.

A Nine West Bonfire lookalike, the Mossimo Vilma in grey for $20.98 (MSRP $29.99) at Amazon

Newport News Patent Slingback Sandal in black and white for $17.99 (regularly $45)

Steve Madden Richh for $22.49 (MSRP $89.95) at 6pm.  Update: The sale price has ended and is now increased to $48.30.

Exchange by Charles David Lunar in leopard for $20.50 (MSRP $82) at 6pm.  Update: Now $16.40.

Not Rated Old Fashion in chocolate for $23.98 (MSRP $59.95) at Amazon

Madden Girl Loveit in giraffe print for $19.98 (MSRP $49.95) at 6pm

Jessica Simpson Straw wedge in red or black patent for $19.75 (MSRP $79) at 6pm.  Update: Now $15.80.

Steve Madden Chazz in red and three other color options for $22.49 (MSRP $89.95) at 6pm.  Update: The red version has sold out.

Schutz 34901005 in brown for $22.43 (MSRP $89.70) at 6pm.  Update: Now $17.94.

Cheap Chick wanted to add one boot to the mix:

Newport News Slouch Bootie in black or taupe for $24.99 (MSRP $49).  Plus, there’s more cute boots under $25 at Newport News.

Please note that many of these sale prices appear to be permanent markdowns, but can change at any time.  Some of the 6pm sales expire 2/7/10.

Christian Siriano for Payless Spring 2010 shoes available at Payless

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I was checking out the shoes at Payless today and noticed some new Christian Siriano for Payless spring styles are now available.  Just like we saw with his Fall 2009 collection, the shoes are much different from those that were shown on the runway.  The pictures above, found on Zimbio.com, were seen in September 2009 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and they feature claw heels, super-high platforms and edgy embellishments, like large, shiny buckles and straps.  Here are the shoes (or some of them) now:

Christian Siriano for Payless Coast Printed Satin Pump in blue for $34.99

Christian Siriano for Payless Coast Printed Satin Pump in orange for $34.99

Christian Siriano for Payless Downtown Zip Sandal in snake or black for $34.99

As you can see, all of the details that made these shoes interesting on the runway are absent and the only real similarity is the fabric.  I can understand toning things down for the masses and the need to keep the shoes affordable by keeping production costs down, but then I have to wonder why the shoes are shown on the runway in the first place.  Sure, they create plenty of buzz, but the typical Payless customer may not know about the runway shoes, or even who Christian Siriano is for that matter.  I thought these collections were aimed to gain a different kind of customer - i.e. one who does pay attention to Fashion Week and what designers are doing and who may not normally shop at Payless.  This kind of customer might be willing to buy these shoes, even at a higher price, if some of the original elements were retained that made the shoes edgy and unique.  Maybe the claw heel is too extreme for Payless, but they could have raised the platform and made the toe more pointy, which surely couldn’t raise costs by that much.  That’s my 2-cents, what do you think of the shoes?

One thing you can call these shoes is affordable, particularly right now during the Payless BOGO sale, which takes 50% off your second pair until 2/15/10, including the Christian Siriano for Payless shoes.  You can also get another 20% off with coupon code 30445 until 2/28/10.  That makes any two of the above pairs $41.99 total with $5.95 extra for shipping or free shipping to your local store.

Update: The original runway shoes became available for sale at Payless, but are now sold out.  See the latest post here.

Sale Spotlight: Fergie shoes on sale under $50 at Torrid

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

When talking about Fergie shoes, it’s hard not to insert a Fergie-ism, like “These shoes are so 3008″ or “They’re fergalicious [They're hot, hot!]“, but I’ll try to refrain from doing that.  Instead, I’ve found some Fergie shoes on sale - all of which are lower in price than I’ve seen at any other online store.  So, if you’ve been eyeing the Fergie Disco in Gold above or any of the shoes below, head over to Torrid.  They are currently taking an extra 50% off clearance, including shoes, so you’ll find select Fergie styles for a lot less (sale price already reflects discount).  Here are a few standouts:

Fergie Disco in pink tie-dye for $39.49.  The gold snakeskin Fergie Disco is the same price (originally $99).

Fergie Thief bootie in black for $49.99 (originally $139)

Fergie Jester leopard heel for $39.49 (originally $99)

Fergie Jolt in black for $39.49 (originally $99)

See all clearance shoes at Torrid for more options (note that clearance purchases are final).  If you spend over $75, get free shipping with coupon code GETITFREE at checkout.  Sale ends 1/18/10.

ALDO Lacau on clearance for $31.99 + free shipping at Amazon

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

While browsing shoes at Amazon today, I ran across the ALDO Lacau and it definitely caught my eye with its appealing mix of textures and shades and triple buckle.  It’s also on clearance right now, which makes it all the better.  The teal version above, which is perfect for applying the turquoise color trend Pantone predicts this year, is on sale for $31.99 (originally $90) or get the unique muti-colored turquoise version below for the same price (sizes are getting limited):

I have to admit, the fuchsia pair is my favorite, although it’s priced higher at $48.99 (there’s also a black version for $45.99):

The Lacau is also available direct from ALDO, but Amazon is offering free shipping on ALDO products for a limited time, so you save money on the shipping costs.
