Bergdorf Goodman Designer Shoe Sale

Attention shoe lovers!!! The Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale continues this week with savings of up to 40% off on chic designer clothing and designer shoes as well as designer handbags, jewelry accessories, and menswear and men’s shoes.

Last week, I shared some of my top picks from the apparel collections. But today is all about designer shoes! This Bergdorf Goodman Designer Shoe Sale offers an incredible selection of desirable finds from designer labels such as Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman and more. And, just as with the apparel collections, this BG designer shoe sale has been extended to include new arrivals! With such an exquisite selection of designer creations to choose from, you’ll no doubt find it difficult to narrow down your top picks. (I know I did!) But here are a few that are definitely worth a look:

Firstly for the more daring fashionistas, Bergdorf Goodman offers this super chic Jimmy Choo Patent Multi-Buckle Sandal. In Gray iridescent patent leather and Goldtone hardware, this sandal features a strappy upper with buckled straps and a 4 1/2" covered heel. Made in Italy, this classy and sexy statement sandal was originally priced at $750 but now on sale at just $338. I just love it!

I’ve always been a huge fan of the d’Orsay style pump, but this Christian Loubouton design has brought my adoration to new heights. The Triclo Crisscross d'Orsay shown below features a crescent toe and a 3 9/10” covered heel. However, it’s the spectacular crisscross straps that give this designer shoe its sexy sophistication. Crafted in Italy, it is available in Red or Black patent leather and features the signature Christian Louboutin Red sole. Originally $795, it has been marked down by Bergies and on sale now at $533. I want it!

Another of my faves from the BG designer shoe sale is the Cage d’Orsay from Jimmy Choo shown below. This beautifully crafted designer shoe is a sultry interpretation of the classic d’Orsay pump. I absolutely love the cutout detail. Combined with the ultra-feminine peep-toe, the Cage d’Orsay, is a true standout. Best of all, this designer shoe is one of those coveted multi-taskers that translates effortlessly from day to night – classic enough for the office but alluring enough for a night on the town. Made in Italy of Black kid leather, it features a 3 1/3” covered heel.

Originally $640, it has been reduced to $429. Given its high quality and versatility, I’m sure that I could easily wear this designer shoe more than 429 times in my lifetime. That’s less than a dollar per wear! Who can pass up a deal like that, my fellow fashionistas? ;-)

Look up “fabulous” in the dictionary and you should find a photo of the high-wattage Yves Saint Laurent studded platform designer sandal shown below. This showstopper features Gold-tone hardware, buckle detail at the inner ankle and stud detail on the vamp. It has a 4” covered stiletto heel. In addition to the Fuschia version shown here, it is also available in Black patent leather. Made in Italy, this statement shoe was originally $795, but now reduced to $533 during this Designer Sale. I think I would wear it with almost anything just for the sheer fabulousness of it!

I’m completely in love with this stunning Sedarby Jeweled d’Orsay by Manolo Blahnik. One of the newest arrivals to the BG designer shoe sale, this multi-green d’Orsay style pump, shown below is made of sumptuous nappa leather and features a pleated vamp with opulent jewel detail. Made in Italy, it has a 3 1/2" covered heel. Originally $715, this standout shoe is now on sale for $479. Buy it now and turn heads for years to come. It’s definitely on my wish list!

Also from Manolo Blahnik comes the Boflat metallic thong sandal shown below. Intricately adorned with Turquoise and coral-hued stones, this rich Bronze sandal exudes a seductive tropical vibe. As an added bonus, it has a flat heel and an elastic strap over the instep, both of which make it a comfortable choice for backyard gatherings on hot summer days; after all, who wants to find themselves with a stiletto heel suddenly stuck in the grass! Crafted in Italy from the highest quality nappa leather, it was originally priced at $815, but now on sale reduced down to $546. This designer sandal would look stunning with shorts, capris or, for a more romantic boho look, with a soft, flowing skirt.

So, if a new pair (or two) of luxury label designer shoes is at the top of your wish list right now, you may want to take advantage of the 500 discounted designer shoes included in the current Bergdorf Goodman Designer Sale. You’ll want to act quickly though because these high-end designer shoes are going FAST!

ShoeDazzle with Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush Photo Shoot in GQ Magazine

Kim Kardashian, perhaps best known for her social life, sex tape scandal, and her role on the E! reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashian's," and boyfriend Reggie Bush are featured together with a photo shoot in the latest issue of GQ Magazine which is out on stands now. Here's one photo of Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush from the first ever photo shoot of the pair together.

When talking about the GQ Magazine photo shoot in the Kim Kardashian website, according to Kim herself,

We were super excited for this shoot but also a bit nervous. We had never done a shoot together and didn't know what to expect!

It turned out super hot and we love it. The article also gives a glimpse into our relationship.

It also covers how we met, the things we argue about, and how we just work so well together!

We did the shoot at an amazing mansion in Los Angeles.

I also see from the Kim Kardashian website that Kim has been nominated for a Bravo A-List Award in the category of Television Reality's Guiltiest Pleasure!!

Now I will leave it to the celeb news and gossip sites to talk more about her latest nomination and the Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush GQ Magazine photo shoot but thought it would be a good time to review another Kim Kardashian project, the shoe club know as Shoe Dazzle at ShoeDazzle.com.

Kim Kardashian's ShoeDazzle Shoe Club

You might recall that ShoeDazzle was launched in November 2008 by Kim Kardashian in partnership with high-profile attorney Robert Shapiro. ShoeDazzle draws from Kim Kardashian’s years as a celebrity stylist. Essentially it's a shoe club. You pay $39 per month (which includes tax and shipping) for membership in this online show club and you get one pair of shoes per month sent out to you to wear!

To join ShoeDazzle you simply take a fashion survey and register. Then based on your survey results, the ShoeDazzle stylists provide you with a choice of 5 fashionable shoes each month, from which you choose one that you like best. You can also arrange to have more than one pair of shoes in any given month. So the $39 per month covers one pair of shoes in that month, the shipping and the ShoeDazzle stylists' efforts in choosing shoes for you.

Now if you don't like any of the shoes that the stylists pick for you, you simply call the customer service team and they will have their stylists send you new styles for you to choose from. In the event that you are unhappy with your shoes for any reason, you can exchange them for another pair or simply return them using the pre-printed return shipping label provided with your order and get a refund. Additionally, as not every woman wants a new pair of shoes every month, you can skip any month and you won't be charged for that month. You can also cancel your membership anytime without any cancellation fee.

Women's Shoes at ShoeDazzle

ShoeDazzle draws from Kim Kardashian's years as a celebrity stylist. The shoes provided are by Michael Antonio and other stylish, high quality shoe designers. On their website ShoeDazzle.com say that they choose shoes with great quality, high fashion, value and comfort.

Perhaps you've checked out Michael Antonio shoes before. From what I know, Michael Antonio shoes are not that expensive. In fact only last weekend Michael Antonio had a blowout sale in Montclair California where you could have bought 1 pair of shoes for $20, 2 pairs for $30, 3 pairs for $40, 6 pairs for $60 and 12 pairs for $100!!!

A Kim Kardashian fan maybe but are you a ShoeDazzle Fan?

Now I don't know about you but when it comes to shoes I’m very fussy and need to try them on. As well as seeing how they look I need to check out the fit. I also have some difficulty in choosing from all the shoes in the one entire store let alone from a range of just 5 shoes.

However, if you're a Kim Kardashian fan you may have already joined ShoeDazzle and let her and her shoe fashion stylists handpick some shoes for you. If so I'd love to hear from you. Were you happy with the ShoeDazzle stylists' choices? What about the ShoeDazzle service itself? Is the $39 per month good value for money? Are you happy with the style and quality of the shoes?

Now if you haven't as yet tried out the ShoeDazzle service, is this something for you? Perhaps you have a problem choosing your own shoe style and could do with your personal shoe stylist. If so then maybe having none other than the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet, Kim Kardashian and her fashion experts handpick your next shoe fantasy might work well for you.

Well if nothing else then the latest issue of GQ Magazine featuring the photo shoot of Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Reggie Bush might be be your fancy.
