Flat Out Gorgeous

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Okay, I’m not a flats girl. I much prefer a well sculpted, hand-made, fine leather Italian, stiletto heeled shoe. But, given that I do have a modicum of commen sense, I realize that flats have their place. And of late, I’m seeing some pretty darn cute ones. All I can summize from this is that flats must be part of the spring shoe look. And I suppose that fits when we consider that Spring 2007 is diverse with romantic and sporty style leading the pack. Both of those style are suited to a flat shoe.

linea-paolo-flat.jpgI have gotten emails from Nordstrom.com featuring flats — very pretty ones I might add. Bonus right now is free shipping with any shoe purchase. (Go for it!) I picked out a couple pair at Nordies that I think I could wear quite well. Not only are they cute and reasonably priced, they incorporate the looks for spring. The silver metallic flats by Linea Paolo are $89.95. If you aren’t in for the metallic look, there are other color options.

This Dolce Vita flat is a great price at $59.95. In black patent it works with dresses, pants, jeans — casual or dress up. Very cute.

For sheer comfort and a tad bit of style, check out Aerosoles. They are featuring dozens of flats plus the bonus of a Swarovski pendant and earriangs with any $75 purchase.

Happy shoe shopping!

January is for Shoe Sales

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

The Christmas frenzy is over and it’s time to rack up shoes. January is the month for bargain shoe shopping.

Check out Nordstrom for major cuts on women’s, men’s and kids shoes.

Piperlime has up to 50% off loads of shoes and boots. Just in time for winter chill.

Zappos has hundreds of shoes for everyone in the family on sale. Dress, to sport to casual.

Online Shoes has up to 65% off on their shoes too.

For designer shoes, check out Eluxury. They boast an exclusive collection of Tod’s, Dior, Roberto Cavelli, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Pucci, Juicy Couture and more.

And don’t to forget your local boutiques. City Search and guides like Daily Candy and Julie B are excellent choices for finding shoe boutiques in your locale. This is a good time to score high end fashion in privately owned stores. It’s time to move that old inventory to make way for new spring selections. You would be surprised how you can even do a little negotiating when buying more than one pair. Try it!

Nine West Shoe Sale

Monday, November 13th, 2006

Give thanks for a shoe sale. So says my email from Nine West. Nine West rolls out trendy styles each season without putting a dent in your wallet. That’s why I love them. (I have about 6 pair of shoes in my basket waiting for this sale!) They have the slick patents, platform pumps, wedges, leopard prints and beautiful boots that are right on target for fall/winter.

You have to buy two pair to take advantage of the 20% savinags. But hey, that’s not hard to do. The sale is online at the Nine West website and in stores.

Happy Shopping!

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale - I Smell New Shoes!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

It’s here folks! The Half Yearly Sale at Nordstrom. Since I work 2 Bart (subway) stops from a major Nordstrom in San Francisco, I will be hitting them up today in person. Shoe sales just gets my blood pumping. And since I am online all day, I can pick up a few pair of sale shoes from Nordstrom.com. The sale is storewide, but my thing is shoes, so that’s my first stop. The sale starts at 33% off regular prices, and for those of you who await this sale every six months, know that the prices do drop significantly. The problem is that those gorgeous pumps you are eyeing will probably disappear by the time the sale reaches 50% off. As I have mentioned before, I love this store for shopping because they carry large size shoes.

If you are not selfish, you can also shop shoes for juniors, childrens shoes, baby shoes and shoes for the man in your life. I happen to love thier childrens shoes. All my daughters have been spoiled by wearing italian shoes since they were born. The love of shoes. Sigh.

Where’s my credit card? There’s a sale waiting.

About Shoe Boxers

Would you rather spend your last dollar on a killer pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos or save your cash and traipse around town in a pair of last years flip flops? If you chose the latter, this site is not for you. Shoeboxers is for the Shoe Diva. For the girl who stands out in a crowd – likely because her 4 inch heels have her towering over everyone else.
