Last Day for Old Navy BOGO Event

It's not too late to take part in this flash weekend sale from Old Navy; through the end of today, you can still buy one pair of regularly priced shoes and get your second, lesser-priced pair for half off. Just use code ONBOGO when you checkout. Maybe you want to start with these "Faux-Leather Woven Sandals" in Gold (or Black, Bone or Pewter)? They're $19.94 and just a tad dressier than your

Saturday Note from Style Bard
Of course when it warms up, it's pouring every day. If you even think about wearing sandals out of the house you're going to be in for a slippery surprise. I feel like I re-learn this lesson a few times every year, but it never sticks. Of course I also wound up wearing heels on one of the iciest days of the year, so maybe I'm just an idiot with a broken ankle in her

*Deal of the Week* 50% Off Balmain Shoes

WAS: $1,500
NOW: $750

I don't know where Balmain has been all my life, but this brand encompasses all of my favorite shoe styles: fierce, high-heeled, sexy, warrior, unique. I love military looks pair with femininity and urbanity, and this brand has it all. Better yet? Many styles are up to 50% off on Bluefly, like these "black leather embossed t-strap sandals" that are fierce as all get-out

Free Shipping on 6PM Orders Over $100

As if insanely low prices aren't enticing enough, you can also get your total order shipping for free when you shop 6pm.com by midnight. Your total order just has to reach $100, which might require a few pairs of shoes since sale prices are so low; take, for example, the up-to-65%-off AK Anne Klein page, where metallic wedges and fun flats steal the show. These "Jarana" peep-toe slingbacks neatly

*Shoes in Review* April 17-23

Saturday Note from Style Bard
To attest to the value of expensive, quality shoes: I spent 4 hours on my feet wandering the city, watching a show (standing) and going up and down stairs -- all in 4" boots. But Italian, designer leather boots. Total comfort.

Saturday Note from Style Bard
IT'S SPRING, IT'S SPRING, IT'S SPRING! The little tree outside my window is sprouting baby bulbs and delicate new leaves, the sun shines sometimes and I didn't wear a coat for three whole days in a row. Not quite sandal weather yet, but it's coming!

Last Day - Aldo Clearance Shoes on Sale

That title might sound a little redundant to you, but in fact all clearance shoes are marked down by an additional amount for one more day--and will go back to normal clearance prices tomorrow. All styles of clearance women's shoes are an additional 50% off. And if you missed last week's sale on clearance boots, it's time to redeem yourself because they're now 50%-70% off. And Aldo hasn't

*Deal of the Week* Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto

WAS: $420
NOW: $336

I. want. these. OMG. Just the right amount of athleticism and street chic, but a girl in wedges that high definitely means business. A little on the Lisbeth Salander side of fashion, but I just know I could make them work! If I only had hundreds of dollars to spend, that is; these are currently marked down but not quite enough to fall into the "writer's budget" category.

Right now, you can save 20% off shoes in the "Special Offer" section of the website (you can go straight there with the button below). Just use code ROCKGINA when
