Frugal Friday

Today I thought I'd post another edition of Frugal Friday. This edition is brought to you once again by Payless. Payless is featuring some incredibly cute styles right now AND what makes things even better is that they are currently having a sale of up to 30% off select Spring merchandise. See below for some of my top picks. If you do find a pair or two or three that you love I highly suggest ordering from the website. I know when I've tried to find some of the styles in the store I haven't been able to. Happy shopping everyone! (Fair warning, not all pairs featured are on sale. Remember I did say select.)

American Eagle Seersucker Slingback

Dexter Abigail Bow Flat

Who needs a boat when you've got these adorably nautical inspired finds? Both are ultra feminine. The first, a seersucker wedge adorned with woven ribbon detail and a satin upper. The second, a fabric flat featuring tiny polka dots and a sweet bow to decorate the tops of your toes.

Jorja Slingback

Sassy Espadrille

Look pretty in pink (coral) with these beauties. The Jorja Slingback with it's shiny patent leather and jeweled accent will add a fab pop of color to your spring basics and the Sassy Espadrille will have you kicking up your heels in comfort and style.

Carmelita Peep Toe Pump

Cara Scrunch Bow Flat

Pretty, pretty green in rich shades of mint and sage. Adore the Carmelita Peep Toe. The contrast leather piping and flirty bow paired with a fabric upper and 3.5 inch heel. The Cara Flat looks fabulously comfortable and the package is all tied up with a pretty knotted bow.

Stay tuned everyone. Tomorrow promises even more offerings as Frugal Friday continues into Saturday. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Nude Flats

I have spoken often of the wonders of a good pair of nude heels. How they can do nothing but good. They elongate the leg, pair perfectly with anything and everything, etc... Well as I've been searching and exploring the internet to find shoes I want to feature on the blog I came across a few pairs of fabulously nude flats. *Sigh* Yet another pair of shoes to add to the never ending list. Now while the nude flat won't add any additional height(obviously) I consider them a great alternative to the nude heel. Especially on those days when you have lots of errands to run and comfort is key.

Sam Edelman Clement Flat

Flats can certainly have a tendency to look a little on the boring side but this pair by Sam Edelman is anything but. The cut out details add great visual interest and I love, love, love the toe capped with a bit of snake skin.

Jeffrey Campbell Haley Flat

A studded bow? How perfect! This flat is a great way to combine your girly side with your sassy side. These look as if they are the ultimate in comfort. That supple, flexible leather encasing your toes... pure perfection.

Steven by Steve Madden Stardom Flat

This pair by Steve Madden is my favorite of the bunch. Naturally it's the most expensive of the three. Isn't that always the way? But this, this is a glam flat. I love the shape. The almond toe and the shimmering tiled studs really appeal to me. Adore.

Come Spring, these would look fabulous paired with shorts like these Nanette Lepore shorts I found on Shopbop.

Let's Boogie Short

or this flirty dress I found at Forever 21.

Fab Belted Dress

Let's Warm Up With Some Hot Choos!

Baby it is cold outside. Ice. Snow. All day. We're expecting 8 more inches overnight tonight. What better way to warm up those insides than a cup of hot cocoa paired with an even hotter pair of Choos!

Ankle Strap Sandal

I die. The color here is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know what it is but I have been semi obsessed with finding the perfect pair of olive hued shoes. Consider this a new neutral. You could pair these with anything for instant chic. Pair them with color, pair them with your neutrals, this sandal is simply stunning and timeless too.

Patent Leather Sandal

Wow. This is a great cage heel with an almost web like appearance. The unique shape and strappy details combine to create a dazzling sandal. Oh yes and then there is the back zip those designers over at JC seem to be loving sooo much this season. I love it too and I love these Choos!

Choo Choo! (Part Deux)

Cuba Elaphe Snake Sandal

The powers that be over at Jimmy Choo call this color, foundation. How utterly perfect as this shoe could certainly become the "foundation" of your Spring/Summer wardrobe. (I'm so sorry for that. I couldn't resist.) More snakeskin. More back zip. More hotness. More delicate straps criss crossing at the vamp. Yumminess personified.

Paxton Rainbow Snake Sandal

OMG, Carrie Bradshaw would so rock this sandal. There is something so appealing about the rainbow color pallette. They are really tapping in to my inner 80's rocker chick. I really love them and you know you are bound to garner all kinds of attention when you step out in these.

Leather Sandals

Get your gladiator on in this leather sandal. With the corded leather straps and the gold hardware adornments trickling down the top of your foot, this shoe will transform any look into something fierce. You'll be a force to be reckoned with and look utterly stylish to boot.

Choo Choo!

I am really loving the Jimmy Choo Spring 2009 collection. Truthfully I really love Jimmy Choo. Period. However, I haven't been feeling the past few collections. There hasn't been a lot to be smitten over but that is not the case now. If I had the dough, every single pair I'm featuring over the next few days would be mine. Seriously. I am fortunate enough to own one pair of these designer gems and I hope to one day own many, many more. Please enjoy a few of my picks below.

Metallic Sandals

This is a gorgeous shoe. I love the strappy woven details and the shape. It's almost bootie like in appearance. The back zip really amps up the volume and the silver hue will look gorgeous with an LWD(Little White Dress).

Snakeskin/Leather Sandals

Look at how hot these look on.

I love the green/black color combo. According to the Jimmy Choo website these were inspired by tribal ankle jewelry. Yet another hot sandal with a back zip and a spot-on shape. Plus you need to get a load of that lacquered heel. Hot!

Peep Toe Sandals

This peep toe snake skin sandal would make an excellent addition to your shoe collection. The nude hue is perfect and will give you legs for days. The platform, and the delicate criss cross straps really amp up this sandal's sex appeal.

Fug or Fab?

So yours truly was browsing around on Saks Fifth Avenue the other day (Shocking, I know.) and there were several shoes that caught my eye. Mainly because of their similarity to one another. I don't know how I feel about this up and coming shoe style. I know where my leanings are but I want to know what you think.

Givenchy Lace Booties

Givenchy Lace Up Wedge

Givenchy Open Toe Bootie

Ann Demeulemeester Lace Up Boots

Anne Demeulemeester Lace Up Bootie

Max Kibardin Lace Sandal

So tell me ladies... what do you think of this hot trend? And it is hot because if you check out this page on the Saks website you'll find quite a few more shoes featuring this special detail.

Inquiring minds want to know. Fug OR Fab?

Waaaah : (

So I just received an email today from Shoe Steal.com telling me that they are canceling my order due to "insufficient inventory" so... it looks like these won't be finding their way into my closet anytime soon.



Oh well I guess that serves me right for telling you all about the sale the other day a half hour before it ended. I really do feel terrible about that.
