Everyone appreciates a good shoe sale, right?  If you do, then you’ll really love Piperlime’s latest shoe sale.  From now until April 27th, on top of sales that are already up to 70% off, you can save an additional 15% off those final sale prices!   Just enter code TOPSECRET at checkout.

Some of the goodies that can be had for an extra 15% off include these London Sole Henrietta flats.  They used to be $175 but with the sale on top of a sale code, you can buy them for $69.

Not feeling the animal print?  There is also the lovely Betty Mueller Notion flats.  The fun satin print is great for the spring.  Only $76, down from the retail price of $300.

Tracy Reese’s aptly named Orquidea shoe is a breathe of fresh air and can go with any outfit due to its neutral palette.  Formally, a staggering $390, it is now a more sensible $99.

Of course, there are a few catches to this incredible Piperlime sale that we should warn you about.  The first is the deal breaker for me.  This is a FINAL sale so no returns/exchanges are accepted.  If you find something you love, just make sure if you know your size otherwise you’ll have to donate them to myself, Jitterbugbaby, or Shoesense (each of us wears a different shoe size so the odds are good that we might be able to wear them).  So to all your shoe lovers, caveat emptor. The second catch isn’t so bad and can be easily remedied with quick action.  I noticed that the sizes are already quite limited so if you see something, time might be rather urgent.

Dear me. Has it been six months since the last Charles David semi-annual warehouse sale? I really wish I still lived in LA because if this upcoming sale is anything like the first one, it’ll be a shoe bargain hunter’s lucky day. Just remember to bring water and layered clothing because it might get warm with all those bodies packed under the scorching sun.

And if you manage to make it to this sale, please help your fellow fashionistas out by reporting back. You can either leaving a comment or post/show off your new additions here.

The weather is finally warming up and I’m dying to wear flats again. These All-Black natural fish scale flats are a great way to step out with a classic style that wears well with skinny jeans to the summery dress. They are $109 at Endless.com, but I found them greatly discount at 70% off at  ShopIntuition - only $30.99.

And if you compare these flats to the python Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, which are going for $395 at Barneys, the $30 pricetag makes it a steal.

Unless you live in New York or Los Angeles, it’s really difficult participate in sample and private sales where designers offer their  designer brands for 50-80% retail prices.  Fortunately for the locationally cursed,  there appears to be a real movement towards online sales of this nature. Suddenly, my wallet feels a whole lot lighter.

Case in point:  If you’re craving a pair of flats, new website HauteLook is offering ScoopNYC flats at 65% off retail prices (+ few Stuartz Weitzman pumps at 50% of retail price).   Like most sample and private sales, the quantities are limited and the sales is only good for a few days/hours.  To access the HauteLook sales, register for free.  HauteLook offers a $10 finder’s fee, but we’ve opted to have you receive the finder’s credit, which should automatically occur after your first purchase.

And if you’re wondering what other sites have these sales, there’s also GiltGroupe.  This month, Gilt Groupe is featuring designers like Valentino, Botkier, and Vivienne Tam (but sadly, no shoes) so it’s also a must see and definitely worthwhile for those that crave the premium designer brands.  The third that I’ve aware of is Ideeli.com.   I read this about this site on Oprah’s April 2008 edition, but have yet to thoroughly check it out.

Anyhow, back to the Scoop NYC sale,  here’s a peek at some of the delicious offerings that are on sale right now and as of this post, appear to be good for another 16 hours:22 minutes: 23 seconds or if the shoe size/style runs out, whichever occurs first.  How’s that for instilling a sense of urgency in your shopping plans?

Scoop NYC quited white flats retail $165;  HauteLook price: $58

Scoop NYC leopard flats retail $165;  HauteLook price: $58

Scoop NYC copper flats retail for $175, HauteLook price: $61.

Scoop NYC zebra and tweed flats retail $165;  HauteLook price: $58

Despite the cold weather that I keep reading about in New England, I’m convinced that spring is right around the corner.  What better way to flop your way into warmer weather than with these cute flip flops by Tory Burch.

They’re $45 at Bloomingdales.com but if you use promo code ‘TEEN’ at checkout, $25 will be knocked off the subtotal.   So, even though generic flip flops are cheaper and money could be better spent on shoes with better support,   I figure $20 plus shipping/tax for a pair of designer flip flops might be worth skipping about on a few lattes this week. Plus I need to start reducing calories for that summer body that I’ve always wanted.
