Boot Barn - 5% Off Entire Order

Although I can tell through the screen that you kind of want these (I kind of do, too; they light up!), they're actually kid's boots by Roper Footwear. But don't worry, there's a vast selection of (regrettably non-light-up!) boots for men and women at Boot Barn. Hence, the name, right? Well now you can get 5% off your entire order through Christmas Day; just use code XMAS101. It may be too late

Last Day for Guaranteed Christmas Delivery from 6PM

Today's the last day you can place your order at 6PM and receive guaranteed delivery by Christmas Day. And you can even have free delivery if you order up to $100 of merchandise. You can start toward that sum with a modest $38.50 on these Tsubo 'Acrea' slingbacks; I just love the appealing shape to them. They were originally $110, but were already marked down by 65%. That leaves you with one or

ASOS 50% Off Clearance + Free Shipping Worldwide

It's a little extra, unexpected bling for NYE or holiday parties--

Last Day for Macy's Friends and Family Sale

Did you have time this weekend to head to the mall or website to check out the sale at Macy's? I was busy visiting Long Island for the first time--and although I did buy a kicky new dress and shrug (NYE party?) I did not actually get to Macy's. But that's okay, we've all got one more day to take 25% off our new shoes. The Friends and Family sale (code: MACYSFRIEND) runs through midnight, allowing

*Deal of the Week* Frye Boots on Sale

I have an obsession with Frye boots. I've wanted a pair for many, many years--but not just any pair, the perfect pair that will remain intact and timeless throughout the decades and ultimately be stolen by my nieces or someone else who covets them for their vintage, classic appeal. So when I hear about a 6PM sale where Frye shoes are marked down by up to 70%, I'm very excited. If you are, too,
