Clearance items are such a lovely way to round out a shoe collection.

And, while I may not always manage to live up to my mantra of  ‘Never Pay Retail’, I really do try. So, how about this bejewelled Roberto Cavalli slingback at 51% off retail over at 6pm.com? Sure, they’re still over $700.00. But look how they sparkle.

Roberto Cavalli Slingback T6517  $747.50 $1515.00. (Available in sizes 7, 38.5, 39 & 40)

A recent Bluefly e-mail mentioned ‘New Chanel styles’ at their website. So, of course, I immediately popped over to see for myself what these items might be.

The styles shown below are some of what I found upon arrival at the Bluefly.com website. And yes, there do seem to be a few more currently stocked ‘Shoes to Die For’ by Chanel than I recall being available at this site just a few weeks ago.

Among them:

A Modern Fairy Tale of a Boot.

Chanel Black Strappy Leather Tall (Buckle Cut-out) Tall Boots $1116

Dreamy.

Chanel White Leather Flower (Wedge) Sandals $732

Even more Dreamy.

Chanel Silver Leather Tiered-Heel Pumps $696

Dreamier.

Chanel Black Striped Patent Ankle Strap Platform Pumps $700

Dreamiest.

Chanel Patent-Trim Canvas Platform Sandals $580

Absolutely Swoon-worthy.

Chanel Black Satin Star Jeweled T-Strap Platform Pumps $760

Sigh.

This is really a case of each shoe being even more delicious than the one that came before. I do hope one of our readers decides to give these beauties a good home. I like to think that they will find a great shoe-loving owner who will truly appreciate them.

I don’t know which part of the country you are in but here in the Northwest, Old Man Winter is starting to pick up the pace and drop the temperatures. It may be a balmy 65-70 degrees during the afternoons, but once the sun goes down, it’s freezing time.

That makes me start eye-balling my boots and wondering if I have the right pair(s) to get the job done.

So, since it’s really feeling like winter and there’s a fall sale going on at Famous Footwear, I’m passing the sale love on to you.

Well, are you as excited about winter boots as I am? Here are some sale options to ponder:

Hot Kiss. Women’s Ashley. $40.00 $79.99

Dr Scholls Orig. Women’s Yell. $89.99 $99.99

Connie. Women’s Daisy. $69.99 $79.99

Hot Kiss. Women’s Bernice. $59.99 $84.99

Madden Girl. Women’s Singerr. $59.99 $79.99

R2. Women’s Devi. $59.99 $74.99

Two Lips. Women’s Manhattan. $99.99 $139.99

LifeStride. Women’s Amanda. $39.99 $59.99

MUDD. Women’s Slam. $49.99 $64.99

Madden Girl. Women’s Aerial. $39.99 $49.99

Not Rated. Women’s Bold Move. $59.99 $69.99

Of course, if you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to summer and spring styles, there are plenty of reasonably-priced pumps and sandals to choose from as well. Here are a few that I can’t resist showing to you.

Franco Sarto. Women’s Ladylike. $44.99 $79.99

Etienne Aigner. Women’s Victory. $29.99 $69.99

Connie. Women’s Materialistic. $34.99 $59.99

BCBG Paris. Women’s Nesa. $59.99 $69.99

Tahari. Women’s Darby. $49.99 $89.99

Madden Girl.Women’s Laynie $34.99 $49.99

Just remember, it’s always nice when you can dress up for Fall without breaking your budget.

Macy’s Sale Details:

When: October 8 -13

Where: This sale is occurring both online at Macys.com as well as in-store.

What: Applies to Regular and Sale-priced shoes (Clearance items not included).
Buy 2 Pairs of shoes, save 20%
Buy 3 or More, save 25%

An additional 10-15% discount is available if a Macy’s card is used.

Free Shipping on purchases over $99 with code: FREE99

So, here are a few of my picks. You are, of course, encouraged to browse on your own and find something to fit your own style.

How about some nice Fall boots in Grey? Grey boots are often very difficult to find in-stores when you are actually in the market for them; this is the time to buy. You might not see them again for several years.

I like the Frye ‘Paige’ Buckles boot and Boutique 9 ‘Lazer’ lace-up Granny boot.

Of course, I also like warm neutrals in the Fall - for example, I like the Faryl Robin ‘Quatar‘ ankle boot or Calvin Kline ‘Jive’ Butterfly Maryjane pump.

What would your picks be?
