The 40% off Black Friday sale may be over at Betsey Johnson, but you can still get 30% off.  Just enter coupon code FF2009 at checkout.  There isn’t a wide selection of shoes left right now, but the 30% off makes for great savings on what’s available.  It even applies to sale items.  The Betsey Johnson Kareas ankle boot in black or grey is $225.  After code, you’ll pay $157.50.  Expiration: 12/7/09

Note: If you like the Glitter Polly, they are $86.49 right now at Amazon.

The final episodes of both The City and The Hills aired on MTV last night, along with a live finale after show special.  There were plenty of highlights from the shows, like Whitney Port making a sales presentation to pitch her fashion line to a panel of high-powered Bergdorf Goodman execs by herself after boss Kelly Cutrone bailed on her (I actually felt nervous for her), Olivia and Erin’s work tension at Elle finally coming to a head, Kristen Cavallari deciding to take the plunge into a “serious” relationship with Justin Bobby (just don’t mention the word “boyfriend” around him) and Audrina going back once again to discuss her ex-relationship with said Mr. Bobby, only to be hurt yet again when he tells her they were never together in the first place.  Sigh. 

But, we were left with plenty of questions too and it looks like some of them won’t be answered right now.  Case in point: Will ice-queen Olivia win the Battle of Joe Zee by defying Erin’s authority (and generally not working) at Elle or will Erin triumph with the years of effort she’s put into the magazine?  After all, people don’t always get to the top by being nice and cooperative and working really hard (unfortunately).  But, Erin issued Joe an ultimatum - it’s either her or Olivia.  Since Joe was personally affected by Olivia’s poor job performance this time around, I honestly thought she’d get the axe (and that smug look wiped off her face).  But, alas, the credits rolled and we were left hanging until next season.

However, we do have some shoes to discuss, most notably from the live aftershow that followed the final episodes.  If you loved the shoes worn on The City or The Hills, here are some shoes inspired by the styles we’ve seen:

We’ll start with Whitney, who glammed up her ultra-long gams with a gorgeous pair of gold and black ankle strap heels.  It was hard to see these during the show, but you can see them better in the show photos at MTV.com and the backstage shots.  I haven’t been able to locate the exact pair, but if you love the look, you may like these:

Jessica Bennett Luca for $166.95 at Shoebuy.  Coupon code EMLFRIENDS09 takes 25% off until 12/3/09, making them $125.21 with free shipping.

Betsey Johnson Nora on sale for $100 at Heels.com.  Coupon code INSTYLE09 takes 20% off, making them $80 with free shipping.  The coupon expires 12/31/09.

When it comes to men, Audrina seems to be looking for that tricky combination of edgy, bad-boy who also has a romantic side, which can be a hard thing to find.  That same theme carries over into her personal style, but it’s way easier to achieve when it comes to fashion.  She wears a pretty silk pant suit, but pairs it with a multi-strap zippered wedge that adds a rocker-chick vibe.  Here are some similar pairs:

Bebe Karen multi-strap wedge for $159 at Bebe.  Save 15% off $100 with coupon code 15OFF100 until 12/24/09.  Another option from Bebe: The Delaney heel for $99.

Jeffrey Campbell Polish for $169.95 with free shipping at Solestruck.

Nine West Bolero for $74.21 with free shipping at Endless.  Another option from Endless: the Miss Me Garnet for $34.25.

Roxy Olin pairs her sequin top and mini with a pair of black suede over-the-knee boots.  You can achieve the look with these boots:

Restricted Vamp Over-the-Knee Suede Boot for $89.95 at DSW.  Shipping is free for members on $35 with coupon code SNOWMAN until 1/4/10.

Steve Madden Shakiraa for $119.95 at Steve Madden.  Get 30% off and free shipping with coupon code MADDEN30 until 12/7/09. 

Kristen Cavallari didn’t appear to have much chemistry with supposed boyfriend Jusin Bobby at the finale, but she wears her sexy black platform slingbacks well.  If you want this look, try these out:

Brian Atwood Taro for $535.99 at Bluefly

Bebe Zahara for $149 at Bebe.  Get 15% off with coupon code 15OFF100 until 12/24/09.

While we’re at it, let’s look at some more look-alike options for Whitney’s cage shoe in the show opener.  I’ve covered this shoe before, but here are some more options:

Steve Madden Brande for $69.97 at Steve Madden.  Get 30% off and free shipping with coupon code MADDEN30 until 12/7/09.

Colin Stuart Cut-Out Lace Up Bootie for $65 at Victoria’s Secret

The City and The Hills will both be back for another season, so until next time, here’s to the shoes.

It’s Black Friday!!  I hope everyone is getting some serious savings today and, while I do have this running tally of all the Black Friday shoe sales I’ve seen, I had to mention one sale in particular today.  Betsey Johnson has pulled out the stops for this holiday weekend by offering 40% off sitewide at the official Betsey Johnson website.  It even applies to sale items and you get the savings by entering coupon code BONANZA at checkout.  The Betsey Johnson Capri boot pictured here is on sale for $206.50 (originally $295) in black or grey, but it’s reduced to $123.90 after coupon.  Shipping is also free if you spend over $200.  Expiration: 11/30/09

Update: The code has changed to CYBERFEST

When I think of pretty holiday shoes, I think of sparkle, shine, ruffles, bows, sequins and any other fancy adornments that make your feet look like a perfectly wrapped present.  That’s why I’m loving these particular shoes, which are ideal for holiday occasions that require a little something extra and make each step that much merrier.  These pairs have “celebration” written all over them:

Put your feet in a pretty little package with these Betsey Johnson Calandra heels, which feature a silver-trimmed satin bow adornment. 

I’d say this pair is definitely prime for holiday party wear, particularly while Victoria’s Secret has them on discount.  They are available in black for $150 and coupon code FALL09 knocks $30 off, making them $120.  The coupon expires 11/18/09.

If you’re looking for the gorgeous silver version instead, try Amazon.  They have them for $130.36 with free shipping.  The black version is $150.

Update 3/3/10: Victoria’s Secret is now sold out, but Amazon still has this pair available for $121.97-$150 depending on size and color selection.  6pm has the silver version for $107.80, but just a few sizes are left.

Update 4/19/10: Get a great price on the solid black or black/white Calandra at Lord & Taylor.  They are priced at $150, but reduced to $112.50 after applying coupon code FRIENDS until 4/25/10.
