January is officially here and as a woman with tons of shopping experience, I have to say this is the ideal month to buy any winter item you had your eyes on but was too expensive at the time you needed it most! January’s the time to gear up for the remainder of winter at a discount, and prep for next winter as well! That’s what I call smart shopping! Plus, you can never go wrong if you invest carefully in classic pieces that reflect your style. My friends always pay me compliments and keep asking, “Where did you find those boots?” “I’m searching for this style but cannot find it in such quality!” or “You must have been shopping for ages to find these babies!”. The truth is no, I’ve not been shopping for ages; it’s simply that I know where to shop and, let’s face it, some shoes never really stay out of fashion: the trends may change throughout the years but classic style stays intact.
That is very true when it comes to boots and booties. My shopping secret is that I avoid extreme designs, not simply because of taste (on the contrary, exuberant shoes pull me in like a magnet), but usually because I get bored of them quicker. After a period of “ooh’s” and “aah’s” these tend to become a bit of an eyesore. Also, since January is the ideal month to get great deals that will cover you for next winter, choosing styles you’ll certainly love when the season rolls around again is crucial to spending wisely. You also have an advantage–you’ve had enough winter-time to scope out what’s hot this season. Now, just add a touch of classic style to your observations and you’ve got a recipe for choosing the best winter booties for your standards.
Well, my own little “research” project ended with Chinese Laundry as that’s where I found classic patterns and crisp lines with a sexy touch that made every piece special and unique! An example is the Ringside boot, a knee high boot covered with fur and faux suede details that are destined to keep you and everyone around you warm on a dark and cold winter day. Pair it with a trench coat or skinny jeans and you’ll look fabulous all day long! Also, use Couponology’s up to 70% off Chinese Laundry coupon code to invest wisely in that January shopping!
Next, I couldn’t leave out one of the biggest trends of the winter: lace up boots. I prefer them in suede as they reflect more of a vintage style (my favorite). The best bargain I found was the Lannie boot. Lannie is a classic Oxford lace up with a 3 7/8″ stacked heel making it even sexier. I would definitely go for the black color to pair it with floral dresses and black tights and get the best out of it.
However, if you’re searching for something even hotter, then the Jubilee stretch ankle boot is without a doubt your statement shoe for the winter. Here’s the bad–its open toe feature will limit you to winter’s gentler days. The good? That very same feature will highlight your pedicure and make this a versatile piece for spring & fall, as well. Pair these with opaque tights for a timeless look. A back zipper makes slipping them on and off an ease, while the leather straps and buckle accents add a touch of elegance. Because sexy doesn’t necessarily means paying a fortune, Couponology has you covered with a 20% off Chinese Laundry promo code, valid until 1/20/13.
If you prefer more of an edge, check out the Riveted man-made biker designed boots covered in antique brass pyramid studs rivets and buckles. These boots are for the outdoor enthusiast or the tough, rebellious girl you hide deep inside. Their 1 1/2 inch wood heel makes it ideal for excursions and everyday wear while their vintage design is crying out “unique” in every step.
However, if you want to gear up for next season as well take advantage of the 10% Off 2+ Pairs Coupon Code to get 2 or more pairs of shoes with an extra 10% discount. If you’re going for this one, consider Letizia, Kristin Cavallari’s super stylish statement booties with sheer mesh paneling and rich suede that make it perfect for every occasion: going out with friends or staying chic head to toe at work. Combine it with a cocktail dresses or skinny jeans to create a different look each time and stand out from the crowd.
It’s always up to you to decide and, as always, we offer you the best to choose from! Boot up for this winter, and while you’re at it, the next winter as well with these deals from Couponology.com!
Yes, fellow couponers, it’s that magical time of year again. No, I’m not talking about Christmas or Hanukkah, I’m talking about the amazing annual Friends & Family sale at Timberland! Now, as a woman whose idea of an outdoor adventure is walking from the car to the mall entrance, outdoor enthusiast and for-the-rugged-type stores like Timberland have not always been my cup of tea. That being said, I was more than pleasantly surprised to learn that Timberland now carries much more than their classic winter and workman boot styles, which are usually geared toward the male demographic. They have tons of great new styles and fashion-forward women’s casual boots, too!
After my seemingly endless & unrewarding hunt for the perfect pair of everyday Fall/Winter boots, I was finally lucky enough to stumble upon the Bethel Buckle Tall Zip Boot in Black from the Timberland Earthkeepers collection. I immediately ordered these babies as a pre-Holiday gift to myself (sometimes it’s okay to be selfish in the name of fashion)! However, after discovering how wonderful these boots really are, besides the obvious aesthetic appeal, I may just be adding them to the gift-giving list for all of the ladies in my family, as they are available in both dark & medium brown as well. Not only are they crafted of premium leather & suede, making them an absolute bang for your buck, but they are also super comfortable and perfect if you’re on your feet for numerous hours of the day.
Plus, if you’re in the spirit of giving, now is most definitely the best time to get a jump start on your holiday shopping. Along with fashionable women’s casual boots, you can also snag gifts for the whole gang, like boots for him & the kids that will be sure to last them through the season and then some! Now, if that’s not enough to knock your waterproof socks off, then knowing you can get a WHOPPING 40% off your total purchase with this Timberland Friends & Family coupon code should do the trick!
The temperature outside is dropping but you still have to leave the warm comfort of your bed to go to work, hang out with your girlfriends, do some shopping or that morning workout. Now, you open your closet and go into deep thought about what to wear but don’t worry—you’re not alone. The clothes in our dressers are just never enough, and that’s every woman’s excuse for shopping. An even better excuse (as if we even need them!) is a good discount. You’re probably picturing yourself justifying a purchase with the good old “it’s gorgeous and on sale” line and I can definitely relate, so I’m here to give you the season’s best winter apparel deals from head to toe, in one ambitious post!
First up, nothing is more of a staple in your closet than the quintessential warm sweater. We picked up the best deal—a cozy and fashionable Shaker Cowl Neck sweater for just $19.97 with Couponology’s 40-50% off Christopher & Banks coupon. It’s the perfect length for a pair of jeans or leggings and comes in two colors: olive oil and castlerock gray. I went with the castlerock gray for easier matching. Another great deal I had to take advantage of was Chadwick’s $10 off two sweaters deal. I got the silk-blend boatneck sweater with ¾ dolman sleeves in black with elegant blue silk detailing on the shoulder. I also snagged the Moonlight Bay Tabbed cowlneck sweater in ivory, which has a gorgeous neck and short sleeves that allow you to show off your necklace s and gloves.
To complement your new sweaters, invest in a good pair of jeans. I like to stick to the classics, so I went with the 1969 Lightweight Always Skinny Jeans in black. I love that they’re versatile and can be work day and night with flats, heels and boots. I used the Gap coupon for up to 70% off women’s apparel, and got my jeans for just $24.99 (originally $69.95). With savings like this, I could shop all day!
To finish off your winter wardrobe, prepare for the weather with warm, gorgeous boots. I’ll share a secret with you—I discovered an astonishing exclusive deal at Couponology: 15% off DNAFootwear order when you shop online. The deal was enough to get me to buy the gorgeous leather Buckeye Low Heel booties by Kalso Earth, in black with brown details. Having already worn them for a while, I can assure you that the boots are so comfortable and warm you won’t want to go back indoors! I can walk for hours in these through any kind of weather and make the most of this season. Unfortunately for my wallet, I didn’t stop there. After all, a girl can never have enough shoes, especially when it comes to heels. I found a great steal using the 15% off Loehmann’s coupon to fetch the comfy but stylish Pacific Platform Loafer pumps by Adrienne Vittadini in black with a 3.75” heel–extra height for rainy weather! Who said heels aren’t practical?
I’ve shown you all the deals, the rest is on you! Get online and buy whatever suits your style; I’m sure you’ll find that perfect piece to complete your winter wardrobe. If these deals aren’t enough to make your guilt disappear, just wait until the new clothes start arriving—your closet (and wallet) will thank you!
