Many people, at some point or another, fantasize about becoming a competitive figure skater, but very few actually see that pipe dream turn into reality.  Personally, I’ve always fallen straight on my behind (and had a helluva time getting back up) anytime I’ve tried ice skating, so I think these skate-inspired shoes would work out much better for me.  It’s the Jeffrey Campbell Skate in white, part of the brand’s White Out collection for spring, and it’s the perfect shoe for channeling those inner ice queen dreams.  I’m definitely fascinated by this fanciful carved wood wedge, although it’s appealing more to my roller girl side because I was always much better at that.  Get JC’s latest must-have shoe in white at Singer22 for $198 (Update: Also in black or tan) or opt for the Jeffrey Campbell Skate in black for the same price at Lori’s Shoes.  Update: The black pair is now sold out at Lori’s, but Karmaloop just got the Skate in stock for $205.  Coupon code OHSNAP takes 15% off $75 until 2/28, making them $174.25.  Shipping is extra (sold out).  Update: Karmaloop got some more of the white Skate, but only a couple of sizes are left (sold out).  Update: Urban Outfitters has the black JC Skate in stock for $199 (sold out).  Update 5/10/11: Karmaloop has the black Jeffrey Campbell Skate in stock for $205, but betta hurry!  They also have white for the same price.  Update 5/31/11:  Urban Outfitters has the white JC Skate for $199.  Envishoes has the brown, white and black Jeffrey Campbell Skate for $198.95.  Lori’s Shoes has the black JC Skate or white for $198.

Update: Solestruck now has the Jeffrey Campbell Skate in beige or black for $214.95 with free shipping (sold out).  Update 5/12/11: Solestruck has a couple sizes left in the brown Jeffrey Campbell Skate for $214.95 with free shipping.  Update 5/13/11: Solestruck also has a couple sizes left in the nude version.  Update 5/31/11: LuLu’s has the brown JC Skate for $188.

Lately, I’ve noticed that many shoe designers seem to be catching a case of the blues — but in the best possible way, of course, because what I’m referring to is a spring denim trend.  Blue jeans are always a closet staple, but this trend is all about the use of denim for other types of clothing and accessories, such as shoes.  And like your favorite pair of jeans, shoes in denim have the potential for some serious multitasking in any wardrobe due to the versatility of the fabric.  It also tends to exude a cool, casual vibe perfect for toning down a look and making it more laid-back, which works well when this is the desired effect.  I first observed this trend emerging when Mr. Louboutin released shoes in denim for the upcoming season, like the drool-worthy Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 studded denim pumps pictured above for $975 at Net-a-Porter (almost sold out) and more styles, like the Christian Louboutin Greissimo in denim for $875 and the Christian Louboutin Deroba Denim Wedge for $595 at Neiman Marcus.  Plus, as Fashionologie reports, denim pieces were seen all over the runway for several noted designers and, in addition, we have the lovely Rachel Roy, who recently released an array of denim shoes as part of her Rachel Rachel Roy line.  If you want to get in on the denim shoe trend, here are some styles to check out: 

This is one of my current favorite shoes and it’s available in a limited-edition denim version exclusively at Akira: the Sam Edelman Lorissa for $183.90.  Update: This pair is now also available at Nordstrom for $225.

Update: Here’s another one from Sam Edelman and I had to add it because I am soooo loving it.  The Sam Edelman Novato in light blue for $90 at Lori’s Shoes or $99.95 at Nordstrom.

The Fever Monica in bleached denim for $200 at Fever Shoes.

The Rachel Roy Idana for $99.99 at Macy’s.  Apply code PRESIDENT to get 10% off, making them $89.99, through 2/21/11.  I’m also hoping the Rachel Roy Kimi in light blue with red glitter platform might make a comeback after being sold out - love!!

The Jeffrey Campbell Hill Boot in blue denim for $220 at Karmaloop.  Coupon code JUST4U takes 20% off for a limited time, making them $176.

The Miss Me Woody-5 for $54.10 at Endless.

The Sergio Zelcer Witt for $136.32 in limited sizes at Endless.  See all Sergio Zelcer for more denim styles.

The Dr. Scholl’s Bombshell denim flat for $29 at Endless.

The Matisse Slade for $34.98 at 6pm or $32.49 at Sears.

The Guess Bilsor in limited sizes for $76.97 at 6pm.

Snooki of MTV Jersey Shore fame appeared on Late Show with David Letterman last Thursday night (2/11/11) to promote her latest ventures, including her best-selling book A Shore Thing, her line of Snooki slippers and, indirectly perhaps, her flashing light up shoes:

I have to give a shout out to my dear Dad for alerting me to these shoes after he spotted them on the show (thanks Pa!) and David Letterman most definitely took notice of them too - it’s hard not to when the shoes feature eye-catching rows of flashing LED colored lights.  Jimmy Choo also did a light up shoe with their Jimmy Choo Zap that originally retailed for nearly $2,500 (now $1,247.50 at Jimmy Choo), but the Nina Shostopper bootie retails for $149.95 and is currently on sale for $97.95 with free shipping at Zappos:

It comes in red or black and you can actually turn the lights off if desired using a button on the sole of the shoe.  These shoes are a novelty and definitely aren’t made for every occasion, but they are tailor-made for being seen while tearing up the dance floor - and when you go out wearing heels that light up, you must own it.

Update: The black pair at Zappos is now $104.97, while the red pair is down to $85.

Valentine’s Day is coming up and I, for one, am already feeling the love - the shoe love, that is.  When it comes to what you wear on the day, anything goes, but it’s one of those holidays that tends to bring out our romantic side.  For shoes, that can translate into anything from sweet and girly to fiercely seductive - depending on the desired effect - but with plenty of feminine details.  And if you really want to get into the V-day spirit, you wear the classic team colors of pink and red.  That’s why I’ve gathered up a selection of shoes that I think are perfect for the day.  But, before I get into that, you’re probably wondering about the shoes pictured above, right?  An image of these dramatic platforms popped up in the shopping results while I was doing a search on Google and I had to post the pic because they are just so…heart-tastic.  Then I found out they are sold by a site that specializes in selling shoes for dancers (ok, strippers).  But if you want to know where to get them, they are sold for $199.95 at a site appropriately called Booty Cocktails (lol) and they are actually hand-carved and custom made with each order.  Admittedly, I think they are pretty cool, but obviously very extreme.  If you want to express your Valentine’s Day cheer in a much more subtle way, here are some more options:

The Paris Hilton Senorita in red with rhinestone bow for $89 at Macy’s.  Or, get the red patent version without rhinestones for $95 at Shoes.com.  Coupon code VISA takes 20% off to drop the total to $76 with free shipping (exp. 6/30, may require Visa payment).  A soft pink version is for sale at 6pm for $53.37.

The Chinese Laundry Hot Hot glitter heels in a whisper-soft shade of blush for $69.95 with free shipping at Zappos.

Poetic Licence Dance All Night in red for $104.27 with free shipping at Zappos.

Jessica Simpson Ely in powder for $98 with free shipping at Piperlime.

Steve Madden Propperr in red for $99.95 at Steve Madden.  Coupon code rmn15f takes another 15% off and adds free shipping, making them $84.96.

The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Melissa Lady Dragon IV in pink on sale for $126 at 6pm.

Sam Edelman Jewel for $99 with free shipping at Shoes.com.  Coupon code VISA drops the price to $79.20 (exp. 6/30, may require Visa payment).

Charles by Charles David Froth for $125.95 with free shipping at Zappos.

For something more casual, there’s the Comme Des Garcons Play Converse with heart, available for $105 at Tobi.

Finally, you have to check these out just for fun: The Minimy Lipstick Bootie features a heart buckle and a heel that looks like a tube of lipstick.  Alberto Guardiani did something similar that retailed for around $400, but these are just $19.98 at Amazon, marked down from $59.99.  Few sizes are left.

Update: Here’s another pretty pair, Qupid Gaze chiffon heels for $36 at LuLu’s.

Here’s to plenty of shoe love for Valentine’s Day!

It’s January and ’tis the season for serious shoe bargains while stores clear inventory to make way for spring, so we’re sure to see plenty of steep discounts going on throughout the month (always a good thing for our shoe shopping tendencies).  But, when it comes to sales, there are those that leave you a bit underwhelmed with the prices and then there are those with red-hot, OMG type discounts.  That’s what’s I’m seeing right now over at Shoe Woo, a site that sells Jones Apparel Group shoe brands like Nine West, Rachel Rachel Roy, Enzo Angiolini, Bandolino, Anne Klein and more.  The bad news - for those who shop there - is that the website is closing (store locations will remain open).  The good news?  As a result, they are having a “Crazy Clearance” sale with some drastically reduced prices on their selection of shoes and boots, which get an extra 50-80% off at checkout.  For instance, the Enzo Angiolini Nate boot (pictured above), which has a cuff you can wear up or down, is normally $250 and gets an additional 80% off in-cart for a price of just $50 in black or brown.  Here are some additional styles you might want to check out:

The Nine West Paoletta in black is marked down from $89 to $34.99 and gets another 50% off at checkout, making it $17.49.  A leopard version is also available (almost sold out) for $49.99 and $24.99 in-cart.

The Bandolino Indulge in grey suede, black suede or black leather is $109 and reduced to $21.80 after an 80% off in-cart discount.

The Rachel Roy Wava boot in plaid or black is marked down from $159 to $111.30 and gets another 60% off at checkout, making it $44.52.

The Enzo Angiolini Maiden in black is $99 and gets 70% off in-cart, making it $29.70.

The Joan & David Beesly in black or grey/black is $325 and gets 70% off at checkout, which reduces the price to $97.50.

The Enzo Angiolini Kaiser in taupe or black is $120 and 80% off is taken at checkout, dropping the price to $24.

There are plenty of more shoes and boots to choose from, so be sure to check it out!

Note that each shoe is marked with its eligible discount and all sales are final.  Shipping adds a flat $5 to your order.

Update: I noticed that some of the prices listed here have changed since this was originally posted, so be sure to double-check the current pricing if you plan to make a purchase.

Nick Cannon is reportedly having a hard time getting his shoe-loving wife, Mariah Carey, to ditch her high heels for flats while she’s pregnant with their first child, so it makes sense that her new line of shoes for HSN has nary a sensible shoe in sight - but who needs practical, right?  Mariah’s shoe collection, which made their official debut on HSN November 29th — along with jewelry and fragrance items – definitely exudes her signature style.  When I think of her typical style, I usually think of va-va-voom sexy diva or snowbunny Aspen diva, but she always goes all-out either way.  I also noticed that she seems to have garnered inspiration for her footwear from some of her own favorite high-end designers.  Need more proof of everything I’ve said above?  I’ve done a little digging and found some evidence, so let’s check it out:

Mariah is spotted on vaction in Aspen quite often, but she never lets that cold, snowy weather stop her from glamming it up in quilted jackets and plenty of fur.  That’s why it’s not surprising to see this Mariah Carey Suede Bootie with Faux Fur in the collection:

This style is on-trend and apparently has been quite popular - it sold out in a mere 6 minutes on HSN according to People and it’s almost sold out online as well.  I also noticed it’s very similar to this shoe, the Manolo Blahnik Nesta:

Both shoes feature an asymetrical cut lined with fur, although the Manolos have genuine fur rather than faux and retail for $1,295.  They are currently on sale at Nordstrom in grey or camel for a discounted $769.90.  The Mariah Carey pair is $129.90 and comes in 3 color options.

Here’s another cold weather style from the line that appears to offer more function than form against the elements, but it’s still decked out in fur, chains and patent detail.  This is the Mariah Carey Quilted Boot with Chain Detail in black for $149.90 and it’s the only flat style available in the collection.

Mariah is also well-known for wearing body-baring styles paired with super-high heels.  I like the look of her brown Gucci Lockhart boots in the picture on the left, which she wore during a David Letterman apppearance.  I couldn’t find them available for sale online, but this style offers a similar look for less:

This is the Mariah Carey Knit Boot with Buckles and Leather Trim and it’s available in black or brown for $149.90.

Of course, what would a Mariah Carey shoe collection be without a super-high platform heel with plenty of bling?  You can get that with her Mariah Carey Platform Sandal with Jeweled Stones in rose gold, gold or silver for $149.90.

If you like Mariah’s (somewhat) dressed down look, you might like these boots:

This is the Mariah Carey Suede Platform Peep-Toe Boot in black or rust for $199.90.

Finally, there’s the Mariah Carey Leather Pump Sneaker for $99.90.  A sneaker pump may not be for everyone, but I’m sure there are those who can pull off this funky style.  It comes in black/red or white/silver.

I’ve seen mixed reviews of the collection, but what do you guys think?  Let me know in the comments or on Facebook.

If you’re a new HSN customer, you may be able to save on your purchase with one of these HSN coupons.  Prices and availability are subject to change.
