The more you shop, the more you save!

So Coach has never been our favorite line. In fact we don’t think we have ever owned one thing from them. Their leather for men is great but their bags for women are just atrocious. I mean if I’m going to be a label whore I’d at least make it a decent label–we Just Say No to the C’s. Anyway we thought we’d take a peek when we heard they had released a budget-friendly collection. Ahem, I nearly choked–budget friendly?

We don’t even have the time to explain how hideous these flats are. Seriously the rainbow logo? Uch. But here comes the real zinger–the shoes start at $198! How is that budget friendly? I can buy a pair of Tory Burches for less than that which I won’t be embarrassed to tell friends the designer. And guess what? Items in the collection range as high as $598! Who are they kidding? How much did things used to cost there? $1000 for a pair of Coach shoes? This is NOT a wise way to try to survive the recession, Coach. Not wise.

We even read an article describing the line as “whimsical.” Seriously that word is not synonymous for hodge-podged mess.

NEVER EXPERIENCE THE WALK OF SHAME AGAIN!

This might be the best gift we’ve ever received! We love getting pedicures (well we get lazy in the winter but that’s neither here nor there) but we hate sitting and waiting long enough for them to dry. End result? We always, without fail, smudge at least one nail due to our impatience. Even worse, we refuse to keep the paper towel between our toes when we walk home (we just can’t!). So some genius (cue Alan Stuart)  invented shoes with the little toe separators built right in!

They’re so comfy and come in tons of patterns (Faux Animal Fur, Camouflage and Solid colors). They’re even equipped with foamy cushioning and rubber so you won’t slip. You’ll never experience the walk of shame again from your nail salon!

Prices range from $24.95-$27.95

Perfect gift for a friend with a bottle of nail polish!

In today’s economy, options can be limiting – but true recession-istas need not worry. I’ve been digging Nine West lately– the kind of shoe therapy required to lift your spirit doesn’t have to cost a lot!

Nine West isn’t just for budget-conscious fashionistas. Recently it has been worn by star customers Halle Berry, Eva Longoria-Parker and Blake Lively. With so many reasonably priced finds under $100 it’s worth a visit to the website

We can’t wait to go somewhere warm to wear these

SSS Sample Sales
261 W 36th Street
(between 7th & 8th Ave)
2nd Floor
New York, NY 10018

These sample sales are in a huge warehouse which is much easier, we think, than tiny cramped showrooms. They also accept credit cards. Enjoy, but remember this one is pretty popular so expect to wait. If you go later in the week it’ll probably be much calmer- but of course will have less merchandise. But this place is huge so they may still have some good stuff. I’m getting kind of sick of her symbol but I can’t help but be drawn to it at the same time. Happy Shopping. Be responsible!

You are going to have to thank one of our fave readers for all these discount codes this morning she’s been mail bombing me with ‘em. Just kidding! We can’t tell you how much we appreciate them! Happy Holiday Shopping! But be responsible! Remember that buying 10 pairs of shoes isn’t saving money even if they are 30% off.

Visit SteveMadden.com

We like to pretend we don’t wear Steve Madden sometimes…but we secretly do sometimes.

SWOOP- Originally $149.95- But take 30% off and the’ll be just about 100!

I have these and I love them. I wear them when it’s a little balmy out there and I’m not sure if I’m ready to commit to my rainboots. They keep my feet warm and dry too!
