Deal of the Day - Confessions of a Shop-A-Holic

I HAD to do it.

Seriously. I've been eye-ing these Boutique 9 Wedges for months - ever since Rachel Zoe featured them on her Latest Obsessions  this past Spring at $140 a pop I've been keeping my Spidi-senses active searching for a sale.  I'd found a few sales but never on the cream colored leather ones I so desperately desired.

This all came to an end today when Gilt Groupe featured designer Boutique 9 on their flash sales page!

Boutique 9 Illy Espadrille - Orig. $140  Sale $79 

"Yes, Yes I would love to purchase you beautiful shoes!!!!!"

THEN my luck got even better when I checked out the HauteLook Sale page and found PennyLovesKenny flats for half price - perfectly sparkly and ready for transition from Summer to Fall!

Penny Loves Kenny Treasure II Flats - Orig. $75  Sale $29.50 

"I will take them!!!!  Two in fact - one for each foot!"

A Summer Staple - The Black Espadrille

Looking for a multi-functional summer shoe that can take you from a casual lunch straight out to a beachy club at night?  A picnic rendez-vous or a Friday night movie date?  Look no further than a classic pair of black woven espadrilles!

Steve Madden Fantasik $80 Bestseller at Piperlime.com

Steve Madden Fraid $80 sale $69.50 at Piperlime.com

7 For All Mankind Jules $195 at Nordstroms

Stuart Weitzman Alex Sandal $365 at jildorshoes.com

Bettye Muller Sage Espadrille $170 at jildorshoes.com

GREAT FIND!!!

Qupid Konya Knit Espadrilles $24.90 at UrbanOg.com

Slightly different than the above due to the 'slide on' nature of these next wedges versus the around-the-ankle look but keeps with the same black criss-cross wedge theme...

Fiza Espadrilles $40.20 at UrbanOg.com

And I think the unique chain trim on these almost gives them a bit of a 'Rocker' vibe!

I have been known to splurge on what I call "to-die-for" items, especially when I cannot find anything similar, but when it comes to great finds I never turn my nose up at a brand before I try it - to me fashion is all about the resulting 'look', not the label! 

Question for the Day:

When you need a basic staple for your wardrobe, do you typically splurge or keep searching for that perfect deal?

Wedges - A Reoccurring Theme

Lately I've been seeing a reoccuring theme of mixing neutral & colored leather with the woven espadrille look on summer wedges - and you can scoop up some of these sexy shoes for anywhere from $49 - $118 all on sale!

Paloma Barcelo - Amaya leather and raffia wedges  $295 sale $118 at The Outnet

Naughty monkey - Divine $99 sale $79.99 on Piperlime.com

Seychelles - Harlow $90  sale $69.99 on Piperlime.com

Mia - Biscotti $59 sale $49.99 on Piperlime.com

Personally, I'm rather enamored with the Mia Biscotti's myself!  And as luck would have it, they're the best deal! (Dontcha love it when the universe seems to work out in your favor every once in awhile?)

Now the only question is, which color should I choose? Hmm...

Thoughts?!



The Look for Less! Steve Madden TurnPyke Wedges

My first official Look for Less post!!

The only thing better than finding a great deal is being able to share it with the world, because let's be honest - everyone should have a chance to look fabulous!

The original Steve Madden Turnpyke Wedges are a featured shoe by Rachel Zoe on Piperlime.com (absolutely love her picks!) where you can find them in a soft pink, brown, or black - and they can also be seen in grey at Nordstrom's, or even in an orange or teal at Zappos.com all colors and sites currently selling the shoe for a cool $89.95. 



NOW for the Steal ;) 

Do these little cuties from UrbanOg.com look familiar??

And at only $25.90 a pair you could scoop up ALL THREE colors for less than a pair of the originals!

I went with the cream and couldn't be happier with my purchase! UrbanOg shipped the shoes quick and they are SO comfortable I wear them under slacks to work, tres chic ;)

Hope you all enjoyed this post - any thoughts on these criss-cross wedges as a new summer staple? Will you be rocking some new wedges this summer?
