Super Duper Shoe Sale at ShoeSteal.com

January 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

ShoeSteal.com is an amazing site (it is part of Shoes.com) that currently has a shoe blowout sale, and all pairs are $30 or less – and we’re talking some seriously expensive brands, like Pucci, Bally, Christian Lacroix, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and a ton more brand. I saw some $700+ shoes going for $30 – but the selection is going fast, as you might imagine. They also have some nice looking bags.

Shoe Saturday: Valentino Bow Detailed Patent Leather d’Orsay Pump

January 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Time to start thinking about early Spring shoes – and these Valentino Bow Detailed Patent Leather d’Orsay Pumps make me wish it was late March (as does the freezing temperatures). I like the sweet bow, it kind of reminds me of a pair of ruby red shoes I had as a little girl, only grown up (4 1/2 inch heels and a little platform tend to make any shoe grown up). You can preorder them now at Nordstrom to have in time for Spring!

They are also available in black at Nordstrom for $745.00.

You can also find them currently in stock at Saks.com in Black, Aqua, and Gunmetal for $695.00.

It’s cold. Wear Cashmere

January 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So it’s crazy cold in most of the country (including here in the Northeast), and the best cure for cold is cashmere. After spending way too long browsing through cashmere items online before I actually got up and got myself a sweater from my closet, here’s my favorites of what I found at a variety of price points:

George Simonton Couture Wool & Cashmere Walking Coat $329.90 at Nordstrom. Check out the rosebud buttons!
Nordstrom Plaid Cashmere Wrap. Super Soft and Super Warm! $98.50 at Nordstrom
Philosophy Dane Lewis V-Neck Cashmere Sweater. $52.90 at Nordstrom. Super soft, super comfy. Good under a jacket or just around the house.
Leifsdottir Scalloped Cashmere Sweater. I absolutely adore this sweater. Check out the buttons!
Philosophy Dane Lewis Ruched Yoke Cashmere Hoody. Is there anything more luxurious than a cashmere hoodie? $52.90 at Nordstrom. Comes in some beautiful colors.
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Cable Cashmere Sweater. I love this color.
Juicy Couture Cashmere Track Pants and Juicy Couture Empire Waist Cashmere Hoody. You could exercise in this. Or you could curl up on the couch and watch a movie. I won’t tell anyone. Also comes in black.
Juicy Couture Bow & Charm Cashmere Hat. Nothing keeps you warm like a cashmere hat and scarf. $95 at Nordstrom.

Nordstrom Price Matches

January 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I just noticed on Nordstrom.com that they price match if you find your item at a lower price elsewhere. Just call 1-888-282-6060 and they will match the price.

I tend to find when I’m shopping around that Nordstrom usually has the best price anyways, but good to know.
