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:

Steven by Steve Madden Tummble for $22.35 (MSRP $149).

Converse Chuck Taylor Seasonal Hi in green for $23.29 (MSRP $45).

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

Schutz 31601002 for $17.40 (MSRP $116).

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

I mentioned yesterday that one of my favorite shoe brands is Naughty Monkey because they always offer plenty of fun, fashionable shoes with a bit of a quirky edge.  But, like most things, Naughty Monkey shoes are made even more appealing when they go on sale.  That’s why I was glad to see the Naughty Monkey Punkalicious made it over to 6pm, the clearance site for Zappos, and is now marked down to $44.62 (MSRP $85) in your choice of red, navy or black.  Unless you buy the black version either at Endless for $49.90 or at Piperlime for $49.99 with free shipping included (few sizes are left at both), I haven’t seen it sold for less at any other store.  Need more Naughty Monkey shoes on sale?  Check these out:

Naughty Monkey Bada Bing for $31.98 with free shipping at Amazon in most size and color combinations. It comes in grey, black or tan. If your option is $89 at Amazon, try Endless for a price of $43.97 with free shipping or 6pm for $44.62.

Naughty Monkey Clydsdale in blue, black or red for $44.62 (MSRP $84.99) at 6pm.

Naughty Monkey Cinche in tan for $67.13 (MSRP $95.90) at 6pm.  Love the corset-like effect on the back.

Naughty Monkey My Heart Is Tied for $36.38 (MSRP $79.99) at 6pm.

The expiration for these sale prices, if any, is unknown.

Cheap Chick is doing the happy dance because it’s Saturday and we’re finally having a beautiful warm day - a welcome break from the dreary, cold, icy weather that’s been prevalent here lately.  What else makes Cheap Chick happy?  Cute shoes on the cheap, of course.  So, before this little birdie goes outside to do…well, what chicks normally do (flitting around, chirping, pecking for bugs, etc.), she thought she’d round up some of the best brand name shoes for $25 or less.  All of these are offered by 6pm:

Dolce Vita 5125-51 in brown or black for $25 (MSRP $125).  Sizes are getting really limited, so snatch this awesome deal up quick if your size is available.

J.Renee Blaze in white or brown for $21.99 (MSRP $109.95).  Love the bead detail on these.

Hale Bob Cara in black for $19.80 (MSRP $99).

Enzo Angiolini Caitria in black for $17.80 (MSRP $89).

Steven Lalo in black leather and four other color choices for $25 (MSRP $125).  It looks like some of the color options are sold out.

Exchange by Charles David Acrobat in burgundy, black or brown for $15.40 (MSRP $77).

Via Spiga Taunt in brown, white or black for $19.80 (MSRP $99).

Jeffrey Campbell Anne in red, black or purple for $18.60 (MSRP $93).

In the latest one-day super sale from 6pm, a selection of Kors Michael Kors shoes are marked down to just $24.95 each.  Most of these shoes have an MSRP of anywhere from $165-$220, so the savings are up to 90% - clearly a fantastic deal.  The woven leather Kors Michael Kors Lyric pictured above normally retails for $220 and it’s available in black or two different shades of brown (”luggage” or “jungle”).  There’s also nearly 100 more styles to choose from, including wedges, sandals and pumps.  Sale ends today 2/18/10.

Gwen Stefani showed off her new collection of L.A.M.B. shoes and clothing for fall 2010 this past week at New York Fashion Week.  I’ve always been a fan of Gwen and I think L.A.M.B. is a great example of a celebrity fashion line done right - in stark contrast to the reasons I thought Dina Lohan’s shoe line wasn’t a very good idea.  Super-talented Gwen is an icon for her music and her unique, rocker style, with her shoes being as original as she is.  She also seems like a generally cool person and appears to be a very hands-on mom to her two sons (who are about the same age as my daughters, so I understand just how hectic that can be!).  I must say the boots for this fall look amazing.  I saw her on E! News the other day talking about the new collection and she pointed out the mint green and brown boots (far right in the picture above).  She described these as “delicious” and like a “mint chocolate cookie” and even pretended to take a bite out of them:

Of course, we’ll have to wait until fall to see these in stores and L.A.M.B. shoes tend to be quite expensive for many of us.  I’m sure the boots will be in the $400+ range.  In the meantime, I’ve found some L.A.M.B. shoes on sale that are available now and relatively easier to fit in the budget:

L.A.M.B. Portman for $234.90 at Endless (MSRP $474).  For a limited time, get another 25% off automatically during checkout, making them $176.17.

L.A.M.B. Raja in black or grey for $130 at Amazon with free shipping (MSRP $325).

L.A.M.B. Rio in black or grey for $130 with free shipping at Amazon (MSRP $325).

L.A.M.B. Rhett in red, black, brown or grey for $172.50 at 6pm (MSRP $355).

L.A.M.B. Randi in black or grey/blue for $166.75 at 6pm (MSRP $349).  The nude/black version is $180.  Endless has a better price of $169.90 for the black version and $159.90 for grey/blue with an extra 25% off at checkout, but sizes are very limited.

Of course, you can always opt for Gwen Stefani’s lower-priced line of shoes, Harajuku Lovers.  Almost all of these hot shoes are regularly priced at under $100 or you can get a great sale price on select styles at clearance sites like 6pm.

If you want to get a glimpse into the life of one of the designers behind Harajuku Lovers and Betsey Johnson, be sure to check out Celine at The Shoe Girl’s Blog.  It’s a very cool blog from someone who has the ultimate shoe lover’s dream job!

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.

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.

6pm is having a Betsey Johnson shoes sale today, which takes 60% or more off a selection of over 100 pairs.  Prices start at just $37.50.  Get a Valentines-ready red satin heel for less with the rhinestone-adorned Betsey Johnson Cristie, which is marked down to $50 (MSRP $200).  It’s also available in black, brown or leopard.  The sale ends today, 2/4/10. 

Here are some more shoe sales of note:

6pm is also taking 75% off A. Marinelli shoes and offers a selection of Donald J. Pliner shoes for $100 or less on 2/4/10 only.  Get 75% off or more on Exchange by Charles David shoes until 2/7/10.

Macy’s is having their Wear Red Sale, which takes 25-30% off women’s shoes, plus you get an extra 20% off via coupon code WEARRED until 2/7/10.  The discount applies to your choice of regular, sale or clearance items, although some brand exclusions apply.  If you plan to shop in-store, be sure to wear red in order to get the savings.

New Lord & Taylor coupon code FINAL takes 15% off regular or sale items and 25% off clearance items until 2/9/10.  Again, some brand exclusions apply, but you can apply the code to their selection of women’s shoes and get the biggest discount on their clearance shoes.  A printable coupon is available on the homepage if you prefer shopping in-store.

Get 20% off sale shoes at Shoes.com with coupon code 20offsale until 2/8/10.

As any shoe lover knows, a red heel is an absolute must for any shoe collection.  Red can always add that extra bit of heat to your style and is actually quite versatile, so shoes in this color tend to be the kind you can wear again and again with a variety of looks - particularly when you choose a classic silhouette, like a peep toe pump.  It’s always an added bonus to find a really great price on a go-pair that is normally much more expensive.  If you’re on the hunt for a sexy red heel (for Valentine’s Day, perhaps?), I’ve found some hot styles on major discount at 6pm.  Check them out:

Tyler Woo in red leather for $30 (MSRP $120).  It also comes in brown and black.  Update: Now $24

Steven by Steve Madden Lalo in red patent for $31.25 (MSRP $125).  Also available in 5 other color options.  Update: Now $25

Exchange by Charles David Brunch in red patent for $20 (MSRP $80).  4 other color options are available.  Update: Now $16

Steven by Steve Madden Lemore in red suede for $34.75 (MSRP $139).  It’s also available in brown or black.  If you prefer patent leather, get it in ruby or black for the same price.  Update: Now $27.80

Max Studio Mazur in red leather for $37.25 (MSRP $149).  It also comes in brown or black.  Update: Now $29.80

Now I’m off to order one of these for myself!

6pm has a new sale for 75% off Two Lips shoes this week and almost all of the 500 shoes currently available are under $25, qualifying them for Cheap Chick status.  With prices starting at $12.75, there’s definitely some great deals to be had, like the Two Lips Miami above for $19.75 (MSRP $79).  I also can’t help but think that the Two Lips Giuseppa below is a fun choice.  We all need a super-sparkly, silver glitter slide-on heel, right?  If so, this particular one is marked down to just $18.74 (MSRP $74.95).

Sale ends 1/29/10.

6pm is having a Steve Madden sale today, which reduces all styles by 60%.  They currently offer almost 500 women’s shoes, sandals and boots to choose from with prices as low as $9.99.  Get the super-hot platform sandal pictured above, the Steve Madden Tarneyy, for $35.98 in three color options (MSRP $89.95).  There’s also the Steve Madden Rappido slingback in four color choices for $42.99 (MSRP $105):

My site was down for most of yesterday due to hosting technical issues - always a fun thing, let me tell you.  Luckily, all seems to be corrected and I, for one, am ready to talk shoe sales.  It’s January, a month that never experiences a shortage of discounts, so let’s take a look at some of the sales we’re seeing so far:

Buy more and save more at Macy’s during their Add It Up sale.  Their selection of women’s shoes are already reduced by up to 65% off and you get an additional $5 off $25, $10 off $50, $15 off $75 or $20 off $100 at checkout.  The moto-inspired Rebels Bell Boot is on sale for $31.60 (originally $79), but drops to $26.60 at checkout.  Sale expires 1/7/10.

Today only at 6pm, get Faryl Robin shoes on sale for 75% off with prices from $23.75.  The Faryl Robin Tall Boy boot in blu violet or bronze is marked down from a retail price of $228 to $57.  Also at 6pm, get Miss Sixty shoes on sale for 60% off and Cole Haan shoes for 60% off until 1/10/10.

At Guess.com, get an extra 50% off sale shoes at checkout until 1/7/09.  Sizes are limited for many styles, but there are still several options left for the Guess Pettis, which is $51.50 after discount.

Shoemall is having an End of Season Blowout shoe sale, which takes up to 65% off, and coupon code 15AMAZON takes another 15% off.  One good deal is for the Naughty Monkey Risky Business pump, which is on sale for $41.99 (regularly $84.95). After coupon, you can get them for $35.69 with free shipping.

Shoes.com still takes an additional 20% off sale shoes with coupon code WINTER.  I’m not sure when that code expires, but you can use it on the $73.60 Betseyville Larina in black or pink.  After coupon, get them for $58.88 with free shipping.  Or, head over to Shoesteal, the clearance site for Shoes.com, to get up to 75% off and an extra 20% discount with coupon code BUBBLY20 until 1/10/10.

Happy shoe shopping!

Got a New Year’s resolution for 2010?  If so, chances are you plan to either start an exercise program or up the ante on an existing one, which is one of the most common goals people set for themselves.  If you’re like me, you definitely love the results from working out, but you may need an extra kick in the pants to really get started - particularly after the free-for-all love-fest we call the holidays.  Of course, a cute pair of workout shoes can certainly provide motivation, especially when they are on sale and go along with another popular ”spend less, save more” resolution many people make.  If you aim to slim both your waistline and your spending, try these sales out:

Check out the athletic shoes at Amazon, where you can typically find great sales (albeit pesky alternating prices for every size and color).  Get really low prices in their under $25 or $25-$50 section.  The classic Reebok Nylon Running Shoe (pictured above) in white/light grey or white is $31.75 in most sizes.

Get an extra 20% off sale items at Shoes.com, including their selection of women’s athletic shoes on sale. Use code WINTER at checkout until 1/4/10.  The Fila Storm Watch above is $45.60 before coupon, $36.48 after.

Or, peruse the women’s athletic shoes at Shoesteal, the clearance site for Shoes.com, for extra-good prices. Then, get another 20% off at checkout with coupon code BUBBLY20 until 1/10/10.  The Asics Gel-1120V in red or blue is on sale for $59.99, but falls to $47.99 after coupon.

There’s always a deal to be had at 6pm.  Check out their selection of running shoes on sale with prices starting at $17 from brands like Kangaroos, Saucony, Nike, Asics and more.  I like the Kangaroos Magnolia in three color choices for $32.78 (retail $59.95).  Update: 6pm has Nike shoes on sale for 60% off today 1/5/10 only.

Kohls has plenty of working out shoes on sale and they take another 20% off with coupon code ATHLETIC20 until 1/7/10.  The Adidas Duramo trail running shoe is on sale for $44.99, but drops to $35.99 after coupon.  Update: This coupon code excludes Skechers Shape-ups, but you can use new coupon codes JANSAVE15 for 15% off any order or JANTAKE20 for 20% off $100 until 1/6/10.  They both work on Shape-ups.  Update2: Use coupon code EXTRA20 for an additional 20% off any order, including Shape-ups, until 1/19/10.  That takes another $20 off Skechers Shape-ups priced at $99.

*See the latest Skechers Shape-Ups discounts.*

The New Balance for Nine West collection is on sale at Nine West.  You’ll also enjoy an extra 30% or 50% off at checkout, making these stylish kicks as low as $25 with free shipping.  The New Balance for Nine West Dedra is reduced to $34.99.

Update: Piperlime is taking an extra 20% off sale items today, 1/5/10, only.  The coupon code is TREAT4ME and you can apply it to their selection of athletic shoes on sale.  I love the pink New Balance 993 for $89.99 (regularly $140) before coupon, $71.99 after.

Update 2: Get $10 off any pair of athletic shoes at DSW using coupon code FIT10 until 1/13/10.
