Happy Thanksgiving!

Be sure to check back tomorrow and this weekend for a looooong list of shoe sales taking place on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Then check back again first thing next week for the details on the Style Bard Shoes boot giveaway! Sorry to be such a shoe tease, but I will tell you more after the holidays.

All Bandolino Shoes - 60% Off

Bandolino is one of my favorite brands for work shoes. It's not just because the brand focuses on a wide variety of work-appropriate styles. Most of the time, you can depend on the brand for comfort throughout long hours, too. Another important feature is that the shoes provide both of those traits without compromising aesthetics, so I can go to work feeling like a put-together businesswoman, and also slip off to cocktail hour after 5 o'clock. This week only, every single pair of Bandolino shoes at 6pm.com is 60% off. This discount is reflected in the price shown, so you don't have to enter any codes or do any extra work. From sandals to boots, there are hundreds of options available. These 'Cattail' pumps will be perfect with almost any ensemble, especially because they're available in Black, Brown or Combo (pictured). They're a medium heel with a padded footbed and just the right look to impress your boss and carry you through the second or third round at the bar, and a superb bargain at $27.60 while this sale lasts.

Flat Rate Shipping $6.95

20% Off PacSun Sandals

Believe it or not, I have still been wearing sandals around NYC. Well 'around NYC' might be a bit of a stretch, but a short trip to the local bodega or laundromat doesn't really warrant a pair of socks and shoes if it's still above 30 degrees outside, as far as I'm concerned. But although PacSun is known for their sandals and flip-flops, did you know they also sell a wide variety of sneakers, shoes and boots as well? Now when you spend $75 or more, you'll receive 15% off your entire order. When you spend $150 or more, you'll receive 20% off. Just use code THANKS when you're about to check out to see discounts apply. PLUS, this week warrants Free Shipping on all orders from PacSun, regardless of order total, so be sure to keep that in mind as you shop! (PS: If you came here looking for PacSun sandals, fear not, because those are also still available and also a part of this sale!)

Last Day for 25% Off Gap Clearance

Today is the last day you can save an additional 25% off all clearance shoes at Gap. That means these plaid flats (available in four colors), which were originally $39.50, and are now on sale for $29.99, will now cost even less! No minimum purchases are necessary, all you have to do is enter code GAPSALE25 when you're ready to check out with your sale shoes. Plus, take advantage of Free Shipping on all orders over $50 through December 15th, 2009.

Last Day for Paris Hilton Shoe Sale

Today is the last day that all styles of Paris Hilton shoes are on sale for the flat rate of $24.95 on 6pm.com. Slingbacks, sandals, wedges and pumps that typically sell for as much as $100 will now be marked down by as much as 75%! Style Bard faves are these overworked 'Carie' cage pumps, which come in Black or Brown patent as well as this color, which the site inexplicably calls Orange. Although the Black seem a little too dominatrix and the Brown obscure some of the details with their dark, rich coloring, the so-called Orange color is the perfect middle ground to show off all the many embellishments on this shoe without looking like a novelty style. Originally priced at $89, these shoes are very on sale if you act before midnight.

Orders Over $100 Receive Free Shipping

Free Shipping on Robeez Shoes

All Robeez baby shoes now come with Free Shipping. No codes are necessary, no minimum purchases are needed to qualify. Although I typically find Robeez shoes intolerably adorable all year round, the new line of 'fashion' booties are especially precious. They're also non-slip, washable and approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Safe for new bipeds and beloved by mothers, Robeez footwear are an excellent choice for keeping your infant's tiny little toes warm this winter. Now, I don't have any children of my own, but you can just see how I might be tempted to keep these on hand any way, if not just to coo at and maybe put on my cat--I mean, err, except for the fact that I know that would be wrong. Unless--no, no, it would just be wrong. But if you've got an actual baby at home, definitely check out the styles available while this deal lasts.
