Sale: February 2008 Archives
The Shoe Box, one of my favorite Big Apple boutiques, just called to inform me that I’m on their “preferred” customer list (woo hoo!). I know I’m a likeable gal, but what could I possibly have done to deserve this? Then again, perhaps it’s because of the Luba J. patent leather bag and Loeffler Randall platform shoes I impulsively splurged on last month. Whatever the reason, one of the many exciting perks I’m now be privy to is access to “VIP” Shoe Box events such as this weekend’s friends and family sale. Sure my closet is full to the brim, but with 20% off any Spring '08 shoe or handbag, how can I possibly resist? And since I’m all about sharing the wealth, I’m happy to extend the same VIP treatment to my new iVillage family. Yes, that means you!
Head to this friendly, family-run biz for an insane selection of high-fashion footwear and handbags your wardrobe deserves. Glam up your gams with Marc Jacobs (suede booties), Nanette Lepore (peep-toe pumps) and so much more. Also not-to-be-missed are the dreamy Rebecca Minkoff shoulder bags, Lauren Merkin clutches and Anna Corinna totes.
But don’t take my word for it… sprint on over and see for yourself! When you arrive, ask for Fama (the adorable store manager) and she’ll enter you in a drawing to win a killer pair of kicks and shoulder candy. Happy shopping!

In case you haven’t guessed by now, I have a bit of a footwear fetish. One of my favorite New York-based stomping grounds for cool kicks is Clarabella - a cozy store-cum-gallery space that also sells a jaw-dropping assortment of stylish bags, belts, jewelry and even art.During one of my recent FashionJunkie shopping tours, I discovered that Clarabella is holding an insane end-of-season footwear sale. Since all their current Fall/Winter stock must go (Spring shipments are already trickling in), now is your chance to score some major deals. Read: 40% off all boots and 25% off all shoes.
Some styles worth noting:
Suede wedge heel booties with lamb fur lining like the ones shown here (Tashkent by Cheyenne, originally $420, now $252!), brown suede and knit over the knee boots (Tashkent by Cheyenne, originally $540, now $324), black suede over the knee wedge heel boots with fur lining (Tashkent by Cheyenne, originally $560, now $336), striped leather peep-toe heels (Marcello Toshi, were $320, now $240), red patent leather flats with side cutouts (Faryl Robin, were $130, now $97.50) and brown suede slip-on boots (Marcello Toshi, were $460, now $276).
Having shopped at Clarabella dozens of times, I guarantee you won’t head home empty-handed. That is, assuming there's anything left. Better hurry!
