STEVE MADDEN
With so many shoes to love, it's just too difficult to pick a favorite pair. But with the upcoming warmer weather on its way to a city near you, we thought we might offer you some advice so you can put your best (looking) foot forward. Here's what you need to look for when you're out shopping for the perfect sandal.
Wedges are always big for warmer weather months, just like boots are big for chillier weather. Much like pattens and geometrics were spot on styles for tops, bottoms, outerwear and dresses on the runways in the fall, patterns and geometrics are strutting their stuff - again - but this time on your feet!
Switching up the wardrobe for each season is essential. However, staying in style can get costly! With this spring’s wardrobe essentials much different from last season, those of us on a budget have to sift through all the various styles for cost-efficient duds that will keep us on trend but won't empty our pockets. So what is a girl to do? Why, go on a bargain hunt, of course!
Check out our list of hot spring shoes under $50 and remain fashionable while staying economical.
According to New York Magazine.com, actress, Zooey Deschanel, has filed a 1.5 million dollar law suit plus interest and legal fees against the mega footwear brand, Steve Madden. Zooey had signed a contract with Steve Madden to promote the brand, but the deal turned sour when Zooey was not paid what she was promised, 2 million dollars. Hopefully it is all just a big misunderstanding, no one wants to see either parties go down.

This Thursday, September 24th, marks the first ever Lucky Magazine Boutique Crawl. 24 stores located up and down Bleeker Street are participating in the event, ensuring a shopper’s paradise complete with discounts, drinks, snacks, and live music.
Lucky editors and stylists will be sprinkled throughout the shops for your convenience, ready to give tips and spread style, while photo shoots set up at Juicy Couture and Olive and Bette’s will be ready to spot style (i.e.: leave the sweatpants at home, it’s not that kind of shopping trip).
Get 30% at Steve by Steve Madden, 20% off 7 For All Mankind jeans, and 10% off Cynthia Rowley creations. On top of all the discounts being offered, Lucky Bucks can knock even more dollars off the price of those Juicy Couture boots. A Lucky Bucks coupon will save you $50 off your $200 Juicy bill and an extra $20 at Tommy Hilfiger.
Reiss will be offering 20% discounts, serving cocktails, and housing Lucky editors ready to style you. And that MZ Wallace bag you’ve been thinking about lately? Or maybe that LuLu Guinness snakeskin clutch? Both shops will be serving up champagne while offering 20% discounts throughout the store.
Shopping make you hungry? Stop by Bond No.9 for a 10% discount and Magnolia cupcakes, or head towards the Van Leeuwen Artisan ice cream truck for free ice cream. Shopping make you sleepy? Grab an energy cocktail at Verve, where accessories will be 15% off.
And if you need to make some room in your tiny NYC closet after all that shopping, stop by Housing Works thrift shop and donate your vintage designer pieces for a free gift.
Check out the map for a full listing of participating stores, as well as promotional details. The event runs from 6pm until 9pm and I recommend you get there as early as possible, for obvious reasons.
