{Started From the Bottom. . .}

 

Now, we're here!

You know I love to streamline (and I loathe hanging/overdoor shoe racks),

so I paid The Container Store a little visit over the weekend.

I organized all my other shoes a while back, 

and it was time for me to complete the last stretch.

As you can see, they don't all fit (and I still have a few more in boxes),

but this will do for now. This is what I purchased to display my stilettos.

In other storage news, I recently completed a comprehensive makeup storage project. You can see past makeup storage "experiments" here and here.

 

. . .Aaaaand, I tied it all together in this little number from Ikea.

Does Pantone's color choice for 2013 make you want to don 

your ruby pumps and follow the yellow brick road or what?!...

I couldn't wait to have my favorite nail tech, Ann, 

paint my nails the stunning shade of green pictured above!

My 2nd pair of Justines copped for $29.99 from Nine West

...fitting color, right?! I have one more pair in red/black on the way--so excited!

What items are you looking forward to picking up in this coveted green shade for 2013? 

Do tell!

{Mean Shoe Game Steez}

Self-proclaimed chick with a mean shoe game....(check the instagram @savvy_siren)...I have recently been on a shoe-buying frenzy! Post-holidays=what I do best...SALES! I've also been known to scour the internet for promo codes every time I shop online, and I normally don't ever come away empty-handed.
*Diva pats self on back*

Up first, the Justine in green & black leather by Boutique 9...
(Started off at $140, went down to $29.99, used my Rewards Pass and got them for...
$21.49 total...CHANG, CHANG, CHANG!) ...I want these in a few other colors, too.

These damn Love Furys keep going on sale, and it's getting on my nerves! I recently RE-purchased the pair you see below because I screwed up my first pair putting the emergency brake on in my car. *blank stare* Imagine that. I don't even normally drive in my good shoes!! :-P ANYway, I bought again because the color is deliciously unique from any other pair of shoes I own, and I got them for $47.99...but wait. There's more. They then went on sale for $39.99 afterward. I would normally raise a fuss and call for a price adjustment, but Nine West just loves to insult customers' intelligence by making them believe they'll only do a one-time courtesy adjustment. I've gotten multiple, teehee. And if I really wanted the sale price, I'd just repurchase and return whichever pair hadn't been worn in the allotted time frame. Sorry for ranting. Rant's over...Voilà:

My last pump purchase, the Rolene suede pump, shown below was found at Lord & Taylor. They have so many sales I don't even know how they've stayed in business for so long. They were having a one day sale yesterday until 2 AM this morning, and everything--I mean, everythang--on the website was an additional 25% off. I also received free 2-day shipping on all of the stilettos you see in this post because I ended up getting a gratis year-long subscription to ShopRunner last year. Works for meeeeee!! To-tal price paid here: $27.55 including tax, after starting out at $90 and being reduced to $34.99.

Behold the Frankie by Vince Camuto...

these sneakers--for which I found a random code and received an additional $30 off, serious-- were too sophisto-chic to pass up (plus I love a black/gold color combo!)...and I don't even utilize sneakers except to exercise/play sports. I plan on wearing these with some cute liquid leggings. Can't wait.

Have you guys been able to take advantage of any post-holiday/New Year's sales? Do share!
