Find My Shoes: Heels worn by My Fair Wedding breast cancer survivor bride Kimberly

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

I had a request from Meagan on Facebook to help find the shoes she spotted on the WE show My Fair Wedding with David Tutera.  The shoes she loved were worn by Kimberly Read, a young breast cancer survivor whose wish for her wedding was to have a 1950’s Havana theme with plenty of pink to incorporate breast cancer awareness into the day.  While she didn’t have many of the details ironed out initially, David took the reigns and created an spectacular wedding day for her.  One detail she did have down pat were her shoes, which David absolutely loved.  Even though he wanted to change her original wedding gown choice to something with more flair, he felt these shoes fit well with the 50’s Cuba vibe they were going for.  These are the shoes:

I did recognize these shoes as a pair I mentioned here on the site (in black) almost a year ago, so I hoped they were still available.  The good news?  They are!  And it’s also nice that this gorgeous pair is quite affordable as a wedding shoe option:

These are the Chinese Laundry Head Over Heels in ivory with lace-up, corset-like detail along the side of the ankle wrap.  The best price I can find is at DSW, where they are $69.95.  Free shipping on $35 is available for members via coupon code SHIPR (exp. 3/21/11)  They are also available at Endless for $98.95 with free 2-day shipping.  The ivory version is perfect for brides, but they also come in black for the same price at both DSW and Endless for even more occasions:

I hope this is helpful Meagan!

Find Shania Twain’s Calvin Klein wedding shoes at 6pm

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

Country star Shania Twain just got married on New Year’s Day of this year and, as always, she looks radiant and beautiful, but even more so pictured here on her wedding day (love that black sash!).  I’m glad to see that she’s moved on and found happiness after that “Mutt” guy she was previously married to cheated on her with her best friend.  What a dog.  Anyway, she married Frederic Thiebaud (the former husband of the ex-best friend), who is seen here carrying her white strappy Calvin Klein wedding shoes as they walk down the beach.  I recognized this pair as the Calvin Klein Dylan, a style that I’ve featured here before:

If you’re a bride-to-be and want to wear the same shoes Shania wore for your own big day, you’re in luck: the Calvin Klein Dylan is available in both white re-color satin and ivory satin at 6pm for 50% off retail at $59.50.  Of course, you don’t have to be a bride to wear these in white, but if you’re looking for the same style in different colors, 6pm also offers black, a metallic gold color called platino and a black/cream multi version with prices ranging from $56.38 - $65.45.  Note that all prices are subject to change.

Cheap-A-Thon: Cute shoes under $25

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

We haven’t seen our friend Cheap Chick in awhile, but she decided to pop out of her shell today in the name of cute shoes that won’t break the bank.  If you’ve been to this site before, you know that Cheap Chick is the resident bargain-hunting birdie at this shoe blog and her sole mission is to find shoes under $25.  Sure, she looks pretty tame, but be warned: she gets downright predatory when it comes to low-priced shoes, especially brand name pairs that normally cost much more.  Here’s what she hunted down today:

Smartbargains is having a Shoe-A-Thon, which works out quite well for this Cheap-A-Thon because they have a selection of nearly 50 shoes from brands like Fergie, Carlos Santana, Franco Sarto, Matisse and Harajuku Lovers marked down to just $19.  Sizes and color options are limited for some styles, but I like the Harajuku Lovers Kalista pictured above.  It’s still available in a wide selection of sizes and comes in silver, black or brown (color availability depends on size selected, some are sold out).  The sale ends 8/14/10.

6pm has the Madden Girl Maci in black with zipper accents marked down to $24.95 (MSRP $54.95).

6pm also has the Not Rated Beadster wedge in tan for $23.99 (MSRP $39.99).  It comes in black as well, but it’s almost sold out.

Shoemall has the Yellow Box Biloxi flip flop marked down to $29.99 (originally $37.95) and coupon code BK2SCHOOL takes 20% off until 8/17/10 and that reduces them to $23.99 with free shipping.  The similar Yellow Box Fusion is marked down to $23.99 and the coupon drops them to $19.19.

Also at Shoemall, the Avia A5020W running shoe is marked down from $44.95 to $28.99. The same coupon code listed above will make your total $23.99 with free shipping.

Victoria’s Secret has the Colin Stuart Patent Platform Sandal marked down from $58 to $24.99.  It looks like gold and black are the only colors available at this point depending on the size selected.  Use coupon code FREEVSSHIP for free shipping on 8/12/10 only.

Victoria’s Secret also offers the Colin Stuart Studded Sandal for $24.99, reduced from $75.  It comes in natural, brown or black depending on size selected.  Use the above coupon code for free shipping today only.

6pm has the RSVP Erinn in black, fuchsia, navy or white for $20.25 (MSRP $75).

6pm also has the RSVP Nell with teardrop peep toe in red, black, navy or grey for $23.22 (MSRP $85).

Aeropostale is having their Friends and Family sale that takes 30% off your order when you apply coupon code FFAUG at checkout until 8/15/10.  They have a few flip flops and sneakers in their footwear section, but I like the slippers.  These Aeropostale Striped Rugby Slippers are $14.99 before the code and $10.49 after.  Five other color options are available.

Please note that prices on any of the above shoes can change at any time and availability may be limited.

The Jeffrey Campbell Tick transforms

Monday, July 26th, 2010

The Jeffrey Campbell Tick is a shoe that has taken on a life of it’s own.  It all started with the solid leather black wedge bootie version that was reinvented with the addition of a thumbtack-studded heel and it has since kept going and going, changing and morphing into various forms along the way.  Ticksters now have even more ways to get their tack on with new styles, like the Jeffrey Campbell Why Stop (pictured above) for $164 in black or brown at Karmaloop.  Yes, why stop, when there are so many possibilities for this bold look?  We have many more Tick varieties to check out, each of which are all tacked up and rarin’ to go:

Freddy Krueger-approved: The Jeffrey Campbell Slash Low, a scaled-down version of the Jeffrey Campbell Slash TK (almost sold out), for $179.95 in white or black at Solestruck.

More slashed-up action: The Jeffrey Campbell Giggle Tic, which sold out quickly the first time it was offered at Karmaloop, is back for $200 - and almost sold out again.

Not shy: The nude Jeffrey Campbell Tick for $164 at Karmaloop or $169.95 at Solestruck.

Closed up shop: The Jeffrey Campbell Ticket (i.e. the Tick sans peep toe) in black/silver or black/gold for $169.95 at Solestruck.

Star Designer: Sam Edelman - Lorissa heels with spikes & more styles

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Star Designer

I’ve always liked Sam Edelman shoes, but I must say that the recent styles we’ve seen from the brand are particularly drool-worthy and stand out in a major way.  I’m especially loving the brand’s take on the shoes with spikes trend we’ve seen so much of lately, most notably from Christian Louboutin, but the Sam Edelman pair is just as covetable at a much more moderate price point than CL.   This spiked shoe starts out innocently enough, with a sweet white peep toe pump up front:

But, watch out, it gets all-out dangerous around back:

The result?  A shoe that will satisfy both your inner good girl and your wild-child side all at once:

The very daring Sam Edelman Lorissa is available at Karmaloop for $200.  Get another 20% off and reduce them to $160 with coupon code CLINTON, which I believe is for first time purchases and 10% off for subsequent orders, but there’s also code 15FAB takes 15% off.  Or, get the same pair in black suede at Nordstrom for $199.95.  Update: Zappos has the white version for $200.95, Amazon has it for $200 and Endless has it for $200.  Update 2: Jildor has the black version for $199.

Of course, heels with spikes aren’t for everyone, but Sam Edelman offers plenty of more styles that have glam details and a hefty dose of edge:

Sam Edelman Quinly for $199 with free shipping at Shoes.com.  Apply coupon code VISA to reduce them to $159.20.

Sam Edelman York in purple for $160 at Karmaloop.  Use the coupon codes mentioned above to discount your purchase from 10-20%.  It’s also available in pink passion for the same price or in turquoise for $200 before discount.  Shoes.com offers the same colors and the black suede version for $199 with free shipping and 20% off using VISA at checkout.

Sam Edelman Zachary mule wedge for $225 at Karmaloop or for the same price at Shoes.com, but with free shipping.  Use the above coupon codes to discount your purchase up to 20%.

Sam Edelman Zoyla for $225 with free shipping at Shoes.com with 20% off using the above coupon code.  The code reduces them to $180.

Sam Edelman Kinley for $128 at Karmaloop before coupon.

Sam Edelman Faye in zebra or cheetah for $150 before coupon.

Note: The expiration is unknown for the Karmaloop coupons and the Shoes.com coupon ends 10/31/10.

SOS: The sale’s on sale at Shoes.com & Steve Madden

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Shoe shopping is always fun, but the holy grail of buying shoes comes when there’s a great bargain to be had.  When a sale goes on sale, it’s the best way to combine a love of shoes with a love of saving money - a total win-win in my book.  We have two such sales to talk about today: Shoes.com is taking an extra 25% off sale shoes, plus free shipping, with coupon code 25SALE and Steve Madden is taking an extra 40% off clearance with coupon code 40CLEARANCE.  There are tons of styles to choose from, but here are a couple of my picks:

I’m loving the Naughty Monkey Rave sandal in tan at Shoes.com.  It has cool details like the wrapped heel, a mix of leathers and metal studs holding it all together.  It’s on sale for $75.65, marked down from $89, but drops to $56.74 with free shipping after the coupon.  It also comes in black, but there’s only 1 size left at the moment.

I’ve also been checking out the Steve Madden Myddle at Steve Madden because it seems like the kind of shoe that would look much hotter on the foot than it does in the picture.  I like the woven pewter detail in the front and the silver/white combo, so I think they would definitely be a head-turning kind of shoe when worn (and, hey, it’s a wedge!).  This pair is on sale for $99.99, reduced from $139.95, and they fall to $59.99 after the coupon. There’s also a brown version with gold detail available.

The Shoes.com coupon expires 7/12/10 and the Steve Madden coupon on 7/11/10.

Chinese Laundry sale up to 70% off at 6pm

Friday, May 7th, 2010

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.
