Shopping Tips

Did we mention wedges are BIG this year? Seriously, I can’t recall having ever seen that many wedges in stores, online, in magazines or on runways, out on the streets or on friends’ feet… and they’ve never looked so fabulous before. I’ll happily admit I catched the wedge fever as well, but it’s hard not to fall in love when there are so many chic candidates to choose from. These little darlings are courtesy of our current shoe crush Jeffrey Campbell and may I say I’m a little obsessed. Now I know these wedge booties won’t be the most versatile pair of shoes in your closet, but they’re so rad you won’t even notice. A cool 2010 update of the obligatory Dorothy shoes, ready to get you the attention you know you want and deserve.

Memorial Day Special Offers

by Irina on May 26, 2010

In order to bring our dear readers the very best deals, sales and special offers I sacrifice the sanity of my inbox and subscribe to every newsletter under the sun just so I can alert you whenever a great deal emerges or a secret sale is hosted somewhere.

In a mere 1 1/2 years I managed to receive as much as 15.750 emails (spam not included!) which equals to about 29 emails every day! Sometimes it’s tough to wade through all the advertising overkill to pick out the very few gems, but it’s often totally worth the hassle. I might not take advantage of each sale or coupon code myself, but one of our readers sure can use it to save a few bucks. So without further ado, here are the best Memorial Day sales & special offers, hand-picked by me for you:

IMPORTANT: I’ll be continually updating the list below, but since some of the deals are rather short-lived I wanted to make sure you still have time to make use of these ones, too. Keep hitting the F5 key to get all the latest deals.

Initially, I was less than pleased upon seeing Pierre Hardy‘s latest design collabo for GAP. Overall, I thought the shoes lacked color & originality. Definitely not worth the $100 for what they were sold for! And I still stand by my opinion for most of the line. But then I started seeing a specific style over and again, a taupe floral lace-up wedge, modelled & loved by various style bloggers (i.e. Jessica from What I Wore, Jennine from The Coveted & Rebecca from The Clothes Horse) and I instantly began to crave it. Badly! The fabulous girls (you should totally read them all!) revealed an appeal about these wedges I first didn’t see was there. The stock picture doesn’t do the shoes any justice.

HOT DEAL: For a limited time, save $15 on your $80 order of select statement-making women’s styles. Enter code “STATMNTI” at checkout.

Today’s Heel of the Day is breaking my heart… Yes, shoes can indeed break hearts – especially when they’re not available in your size. Know that feeling? Let’s rewind.

I was going to do a HOTD post on another Poetic Licence shoe style when I accidentally stumbled upon the “Summer Fling” – a delicious suede t-strap platform sandal that had my name written all over it. You could tell he felt the same way about me. A little shy maybe, but obviously flirting with me and secretly hoping to end up in my ever growing closet. It was love at first sight I tell ya!

So I’m not that kind of girl who falls for quirky, playful shoes easily, mind you – I like mine tough & edgy – but this one was different; it took my heart by storm. I absolutely adore the orange/blue color combo just as I love the mix of used fabrics (leather, suede, cork & reptile print). The chunky heel and the sophisticated double platform did the rest. Suddenly all I kept hearing in my head was: “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!“, so I gave in, pulled out my credit card, ready to make my purchase… only to find out they were out of stock in my size. Not willing to let this uncommon love end that way I was ecstatic to find my fling both available on Endless & Zappos. To my dissappointment I quickly learned that both retailers don’t ship outside the US. Double bummer! Now I can only hope Poetic Licence will restock my new shoe obsession here in Europe, so we can live happily ever after. Fingers crossed!
