You may plan on buying some shoes this weekend, but you can also make your piggy bank happy in the process.  I’ve rounded up some shoe shopping discounts that will put a smile on your face and keep your little piggy nice and full, metaphorically speaking.  Here’s what I found:

Piperlime is having their Sweet Deal Event that takes up to 30% off a selection of women’s shoes.  There are plenty of styles to choose from, but I noticed a good price on the FitFlop Walkstar in red, which is on sale for $28.50 with free shipping (regularly $50).  That’s practically in Cheap Chick territory (i.e. under $25).  The sale ends 5/30/10.

Old Navy has a selection of cheap flip flops for throwing on at the pool or beach (or anywhere else for that matter). Their classic flops are normally $3.50, but for a limited time you can get 2 pairs for $4 or choose from select colors that are $1.49 a pair.  There are also additional styles listed on this page that are 2 for $5.  If you plan to spend at least $75 on your order, get 15% off and free shipping with coupon code ONCAMP15 until 5/23/10.  There’s also a similar deal at American Eagle.  Buy any pair of shorts and get a select pair of flip flops for $1 for a limited time.

6pm is having their latest round of brand-specific shoe sales, including MIA shoes for up to 65% off, I like the cute fringe MIA Hannah pump, which is marked down to $24.68 (MSRP $73).  The sale expires 5/23/10.

Famous Footwear takes an additional 20% off any order, even sale shoes, when you use coupon code USWEEKLY at checkout.  I noticed that their Skechers Tone-Ups, which are similar to the FitFlop, are discounted to a super-low price.  Originally $54.99, the Skechers Cali Tone-Ups are on sale for $29.99 and reduced even further to $23.99 after applying the code.  The coupon expires 5/31/10.

Shoesteal always has great discounts on shoes and you can get an even better price when you apply coupon code SUNSTEAL for another 15% off.  I noticed some heavily discounted L.A.M.B. shoes, like the L.A.M.B. Gypsy for $142.80 (originally $356.99).  After the code, get them for $121.38.  Sizes are limited for most styles, but you can check out all of their L.A.M.B. shoes and choose your size at the top to narrow it down to what’s available for you. The coupon expires 6/30/10.

More shoes coupons & sales:

25% off and free shipping at Shoebuy with code EMAILFRIENDS10 until 5/23/10.

20% off and free shipping at Shoes.com with code VISA until 10/31/10.

Buy 1 pair of shoes, get the 2nd pair for $15 at Charlotte Russe.

15% off regular prices and 20% off sale and clearance with code BIG at Lord & Taylor.

Happy shoe shopping!

P.S. Be my friend on Facebook!

Happy St. Patty’s Day to everyone!  Today may be the day to wear green or possibly eat or drink something of that color, but you can definitely save some green too.  The buzzword for the day seems to be “Lucky you” because I’m seeing it everywhere - accompanied by a nice discount, of course.  Here are some of the sales I’ve seen:

Macy’s started a new sale today that takes an extra 15% off shoe purchases automatically at checkout.  They are also having a buy 1 pair, get 25% off the second sale on shoes marked as eligible.  These two sales combine, so you’ll see both discounts at checkout on qualifying items.  You also get free shipping on shoe purchase $75 or more with coupon code NEWSHOES until 3/29/10.  Some exclusions apply.

DSW invites you to press your luck and get 15%, 30% or even 50% off at checkout.  To get the discount, add the items you want to your cart, log in to your DSW account and you’ll see your lucky savings at checkout.  Their site appears to be down at the moment, but hopefully that will be fixed very soon.  Expires 3/17/10. 

Update 3/18/10: DSW issued coupon code UNLUCKY today in response to the technical difficulties they experienced.  The code takes $10 off any order until 3/19/10.  It excludes Skechers Shape-ups and Reebok Easy Tones.

Shoemall is taking 20% off orders today 3/17/10 only using coupon code SHAMROCK at checkout.  However, there’s an even sweeter coupon code MISSU30 that takes 30% off until 3/21/10.  The codes apply to sale items too, but some brand exclusions apply.  The Naughty Monkey Fiesta in black or purple goes from $79.95 to $55.97 after the 30% off code.

Shoebuy is having a St. Patrick’s Day sale that takes 20% off any order using coupon code GREEN at checkout.  The coupon expires 3/17/10.

Kenneth Cole takes a generous 40% off at checkout today and shipping is free on $50 or more.  Items that qualify for the discount are marked on the product page.

Charlotte Russe is having a buy 1 pair of shoes, get 50% off the second sale until 3/21/10.  If you don’t plan on purchasing two pairs, use coupon code LUCKYCJ to get 25% off any order 3/17/10 only.  These two discounts don’t combine.

Nordstrom is still offering free shipping on shoes using coupon code SHOES at checkout until 4/12/10.  While not technically a St. Patty’s Day sale, I had to mention that the Naughty Monkey Me O My in black and white is now on sale for just $34.90 with free shipping using the code.  You can also get in in blue.  Another good deal I noticed: The Steve Madden Loyyall for $44.90 with free shipping.

Have a very lucky day!

I’m so glad its the weekend!  When the end of the week hits, we usually see quite a few shoe sales pop up and this one is no exception.  If you’re looking to get your shoe shopping on for less, try out one of these stores:

Nordstrom is having a shoe clearance with plenty of new markdowns. Expiration is unknown.

ALDO offers womens sale boots at 50% off the original price. Coupon code VIPOFFER gives free shipping at checkout, a $5 value.  If your order is over $50, use coupon code ALDOVIP10 for 10% off, which gives a higher discount.  Expiration is unknown.

Charlotte Russe has a selection of flats and flat sandals for just $12.50 a pair.  Expires 3/10/10.

Planet Shoes is taking an additional 30% off sale shoes. If a shoe has limited sizes, classifying it as an Operation Clean Sweep style, get 40% off instead. Expires 3/15/10.

Now, here’s some shoes news of note:

Have a great weekend!

Pantone, a company considered the global authority on color for the design industry, recently announced the Color of the Year for 2010.  They say turquoise is the new ”it” color - specifically a shade they call Pantone 15-5519.

According to Pantone, turquoise combines “the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green” and “evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.”  I’m not sure exactly how they decide on the color of the year, but I have to say this is one shade I can really get behind.  I absolutely love turquoise and it certainly works wonders paired with neutrals like black, brown and white.  An excellent example that comes to mind is Eva Mendes at the Golden Globes in her white Dior gown and turquoise necklace, which surely inspired many to break out their own turquoise jewelry.  But, you can also get creative and mix it up with bolder colors like red (another combo I love) and Pantone says it’s “especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.”  Making a fashion statement with turquoise is particularly easy to do with shoes, which can add just the right dose of fresh color to your look.  So, if you want to get a jump-start on this trend (in various shades), check these pairs out:

Get the previously mentioned turquiose/yellow-green combo with the Anne Klein Euphony 3.  It’s $78.95 with free shipping at Shoebuy and coupon code SHOP takes another 20% off.

Update: Another option that leans more towards green than blue is the previously mentioned Seychelles Scallop heel at Urban Outfitters, also known as the Seychelles Tippy Toes at Karmaloop.  Get 30% off at Karmaloop with coupon code 30HAM (exp. unknown) and 10% off at Urban Outfitters with coupon code supersorry through 12/24/09.  Urban Outfitters only has one size left, but the price at Karmaloop is much better at $70 after coupon.

It’s hard to believe Black Friday is already upon us, but here it is, and retailers are all vying to get your shoe business this holiday season.  Of course, you’ll need to know where all those shoe sales are, so I’ve started this list of all the Black Friday shoe sales I’ve seen.  This will be the master list that I add new sales to and remove expired sales from, which means you’ll have the most up-to-the-moment information on where you can get your shoe discount this holiday weekend (and beyond).  I’ll post this in the slideshow feature at the top of my homepage if you need to refer back to it.  Now, on to the sales:

Halloween is just around the corner and, let’s face it, it’s still way fun to dress-up on the big day, even as adults.  If you plan on going all-out this Halloween by donning a costume, the shoes you wear can certainly make or break your look.  You may have the perfect costume, but you’ll also need the perfect Halloween shoes to really set it off.  Some closet staples, like tall black boots or black mary jane heels usually work well, but you might want to take it up a notch and wear a costume shoe you wouldn’t normally wear in everyday life.  Even if you don’t plan to dress in costume, you can always wear shoes that channel your inner Halloween spirit.  So, let’s get in character and take a look at the shoes:

Argh, matey!  These Leg Avenue boots are the perfect pirate shoes.  They also have great potential for renaissance and medieval looks.  Get them for $68.95 with free shipping at Shoebuy, then apply 20% off coupon code COLUMBUS to drop them to $55.16.  Coupon expiration is unknown, but likely ends 10/12/09.

Planning to be a pretty Pocahantas?  Get these Indian Halloween costume shoes with fringe for $32.93 with free shipping at Amazon.  Or, go for a flat with this Wanted Fringe Sandal for $19.99 at Delias.

Cute little elf costumes need this Funtasma elf boot with curled toe and decorative silver balls hanging from the top.  This would also work well for fairies or Robin Hood-themed styles.  The green pair is $50.90 with free shipping at Amazon.  It’s also available in red or black for various prices depending on your selection.

Sailing the high seas this Halloween?  You’ll definitely need an appropriate pair of sailor shoes, like these Blue Sailor Heels from Hot Topic for $32.99.  If you’re logged in to your Hot Topic account, get 20% off with coupon code WELCOME.  Amazon also has the Leg Avenue Matey Pump starting at $36.89.

Princesses, angels and other girly costumes need a sparkly heel to complete the look.  This silver glitter heel is $26.99 at BuyCostumes.  For Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz shoes, check out the red glitter heel at Amazon for $39.95 with free shipping.

If you’ll be a naughty little devil this year, try the Funtasma devil shoe in red for $21.95 at Amazon.  A black version is also available for $17.55.

Potential witches might instead opt for this Ellie pointed toe pump with buckle, which is $30.16 in black or red at Amazon.  This witch platform oxford is also a good choice at $26.35.  Shipping is free.

Feel the buzz when you wear this pair with your busy bumblebee costume.  Get the bumblebee mary jane at Amazon for $33.37 with free shipping. 

If a ladybug is your insect costume of choice, try the Pleaser ladybug mary jane.  Find it at Amazon for $31.59 (most sizes) with free shipping.

Channel your inner diva in these Funtasma goddess heels at Amazon starting at $41.70.  These will also work for Cleopatra costumes, gladiators, toga outfits and more.  A flat goddess sandal is available at Sears for $18.99.

A naughty school girl or sexy scottish outfit just wouldn’t be complete without plaid, like this plaid mary jane pump.  Get it for $24.99 at Charlotte Russe.  10% off and free shipping are yours with their OCTOBER1 coupon code.

Cowgirls, add a little bling to your boot with this metallic cowboy boot from Wet Seal for $42.50.  If you prefer something a bit more classic, try this cowboy boot in cognac or dark brown for $44.50.  Get free shipping on $15 or more using coupon code FREE09 at checkout.

Pretty kitty costumes seem much more complete with a sexy leopard platform heel.  This extra-high 6″ pair is $59.99 at Hot Topic.  If you’re logged in to your Hot Topic account, get 20% off with coupon code WELCOME.  Another option is this Penthouse leopard heel for $44.99.

If you’re still not sure which shoes will work, go for the go-go boot.  This style works with virtually any costume and is available in 13 color options at Amazon, so you’re sure to find the perfect shade.  Most size/color combinations are $33.04 with free shipping.

Here’s some more shoes you can wear to get into the Halloween mood, costume or not.

T.U.K. A7567L skull and roses pump for $45 with free overnight shipping at Endless.

As I mentioned previously, trendy retailer Charlotte Russe currently takes an extra 50% off sale shoes, but this weekend they are also offering a 20% discount sitewide on all regularly-priced items, including this selection of footwear.  The shoes start out at $6.99 and the most expensive pair is $44.99, meaning you won’t pay over $36 for any of these items.  Shipping adds $5.99.  Sale expires 1/19/09.
