You Gotta Start Somewhere....

I remember cutting out a picture of a pair of Burberry pink plaid open toe slides... I was OBSESSED with these shoes... It was about 8 years ago I think... I was a Nine West and BCBG girl. I always loved shoes but these Burberry shoes seemed so far out of my league. Needless to say, my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) gave in and bought them for me! They still have a special place in my heart and in my closet. Girls love shoes... its a fact.

Now my wish list is full of Christian Louboutins, Brian Atwoods and an occasional Manolo Blahnik and my closet is full of the same. I call it my jewelry since I LOVE shoes than Jewels! The moral of this story is to share a HUGE secret... If you want to start a fabulous designer shoe collection but aren't ready to pay those designer prices read further!!

January and July are the best times to buy designer anything.... all of the upscale retailers have HUGE sales... With Christmas in December and a June birthday, every year I say a gift card to use the following months would be the best gift ever... Barneys, Saks, Neiman Marcus to name a few all are in major sale mode! I check them every day... remember its my "work"... I say it all the time, anyone can pay full price... Its so much more rewarding not to!! There is nothing better than a "score"...
