If you’ve not had a chance to check out Piperlime’s Sweet Deal event, there’s still a few more days.  Enjoy 30% off selected footwear at the Sweet Deal Event plus free shipping and free returns!

There are some amazing deals to be had on brands including Nine West, Jessica Simpson, LAMB, Botkier, Charles David, BCBG Max Axria, and many more!   I just checked today and the selection and size availability is still good on many of these styles.

The selection on boots included in this sale is especially nice.  I’ve got my eye on these gorgeous boots by Chie Mihara.

I need something I can wear and walk in all day.  The Chie Mihara Aunsi has a 3 inch heel but it’s the 1 inch platform that makes this boot very comfortable to wear!

Shoe expert, TV personality, and author of “The Perfect Fit”, Meghan Cleary, is now adding ‘shoe designer’ to her impressive resume.  

WWD announced that the shoe collection will officially launch on Oct 29th at ShopNBC and on ShopNBC.com and will include a collection of suede ankle booties at the start.

Additional designs are slated to come out in time for the holidays and will include ballet flats and platform pumps.   A full collection is also set to launch in Spring 2010.

Comfort, as well as great style, will be a focus for each shoe design.   Shoes will feature latex padding in the footbed and have 2.5 inch heels.   As for the price, nearly everything is reportedly under $50!     I can hardly wait!
 

Shoebuy.com has just launched a new designer shoe site.  Shoes from designers such as Stuart Weitzman, Hugo Boss, Kenneth Cole, and BCBG Max Azria are offered now!

The site can easily be accessed from the the main site that we shoe lovers all know and love, featured in a tab as a category at the top of their site.   The new designer selection will cater to designer-conscious shoe lovers.

Here’s a new design by BCBG MazAzria, available now at Shoebuy.com.    The  BCBG Max Azria Naetana features a high heel with a unique platform design and two-tone leather upper with Mary Jane strap.    I love the exotic textures and sexy lines on this exquisite design!

Piperlime, owned by Gap, Inc., is unique in that you can not only order gorgeous shoes but you can also order from all of their affiliate stores (including Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta) all on one website and with one shopping cart.

Now, starting this week, the Piperlime website not only has a great selection of shoes and handbags, but they have an amazing selection of  high-end women’s clothing!   This makes it very convenient to get that perfect blouse, jeans, or dress in one order with the gorgeous new shoes you picked out!

The selection is not as large as you would find in a department store, but it appears to be a carefully chosen selection.   Their goal is to carry the type of items you may find in a boutique and, I must say, they’ve done a fine job!

Clothing brands available include 7 For All Mankind, Ella Moss, Free People, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor, See by Chloe, Trina Turk, 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, and many more! And to tie it all together, celebrity stylist – Rachel Zoe, is giving style advice on how to pair clothing and shoes to pull looks together.
