Shoes, Shoes, and Then Some More Shoes

Regular readers here will know about my love for shoes at a discount. If you are a woman, it will instantly be clear, the spell that shoe shopping can cast; the driving force that lust for shoes can be! If you are a man, try and work with me here, if you can’t empathize, at least try to sympathize. Let’s explore some online shoe shops today.

A site that sells all kinds of stuff including shoes is Zappos. They have shoes, clothing, bags, accessories and all kinds of other stuff. While this is not one of your bargain sites, it has the attractive feature of free shipping both ways (if the shoe doesn’t fit, ship it back free of charge). What interested me about the site is its designer shoes on sale segment which you may want to check out.

Strappy sandalsPiper lime is also a site that offers free shipping both ways. I loved these Thong dress sandals for $40. I also liked their smart gray pumps for $ 50. They have a really nice selection of shoes for under $75.

Black peep toesAnother site for shoes is the self explanatory shoes.com with a very substantial sale section. These black crinkle patent shoes cost just $19.99; I think they are really smart.

Now sole fetish may not be to everyone’s taste, but there’s no cost to browse, so let’s check it out. If you are looking to stand out in a crowd, then this may be the place for you. As is my habit, I headed straight for the sale section there as well and look what I found: these (ahem!) eye-catching blue canvas boots were on sale for $55. And I actually liked these pink sandals for $70, down from $180.

Black wedgesBlack bootsUrban Original is another site which you may want to check out; it offers apparel, shoes, accessories, swimwear, lingerie, etc. There I found these lovely wedges for $14.99 down from 39.99! These black boots are available for the bargain price of $14.99 too, down from $79.99!

Gladiator shoes and sandalsThese gladiator like boot sandals are available for $ 30.99 down from $79.99.

Some of these shoes just made me salivate! Going shoe shopping anyone?

Wanna Buy Computer Accessories and Peripherals

In my last post I talked about desktop computers and laptops. Today let’s look at all the things that go with a PC, such as printers, scanners, external storage devices, flash memory cards etc.

Most people now want to go in for an all in one device that will serve as a printer, scanner and copier, negating the need for separate appliances to perform these functions.

HP printer, scanner, copierI have quite a bit of brand loyalty for Hewlett Packard products, so I would recommend this Printer/Scanner/Copier at Amazon which comes for the discounted price of $112.33. For just over a dollar more, you can combine this purchase with a Startech 6ft Premium USB 2.0 Ab High Speed Certified Device Cable . You can add a 2 year replacement plan for $21.99 ($11.99 for a one year replacement plan) when buying this product. You may not require a printer with so many functions, in which case you can buy a printer that only prints. This HP Printer will cost you $69.00 plus shipping.

Samsung HarddiskFor people who store a lot of data on their computer, it is always advisable to back up your hard drive by storing all your data on an external or removable hard drive in case your computer crashes, a virus corrupts data etc. This Samsung 200 GB hard drive will cost you $54.99 and comes with a three year warranty.

Pen DriveA small portable storage device like a pen drive that you can carry everywhere you go can be a very convenient item especially for those people who carry work home. This 16 GB USB Flash Drive costs $61.49 and comes with free ground shipping.

If, like me, you listen to a lot of music on your computer, good speakers are a must have. I invested in some good speakers earlier on. Logitech SpeakersWhenever I am doing other stuff around the house, the music is always on (with the monitor off - don’t forget this energy saving tip). The speakers are good ones, so I can hear the music in every corner of the house. Logitech makes a lot of computer accessories and their speakers produce good quality sound. This three piece speaker set from Logitech costs only $32.99.

I found pricewatch to be a very good one stop site for all your computer related needs. It finds you the best prices on any of many well segmented items and also points you in the direction of the best sellers.

Do let me know what your favorite brands for computer accessories and peripherals are. Any brands that you have had a bad experience with? Do leave me a comment.

Wanna Look Like a Celebrity?

Often think how much money celebrities spend on looking the way they do? The clothes they wear, the accessories that they carry, all cost a bomb! No wonder we can’t look the way they do! But do you really have to dress expensive to dress smart? I think with some wherewithal and a little investigating you can find places to buy that which looks like it could be a designer item, but isn’t! Call them knock-offs, copies, lookalikes, replicas or call them ‘inspired by’, whatever way you look at it, it is well worth checking out the possibilities.

Pleated dress Check out this very red-carpet-looking pleated neck tie dress for $29.99 or a smart little black dress for $49.99 at High Maintenance. I liked their inexpensive collection of tops as well. They have some nice distressed denim skirts, camouflage pants and capris too.

Red leather bagIf, like me you like handbags, then check out this site which stocksClutch bag ‘designer inspired’ handbags. I thought some of their leather handbags, like this one, were quite smart. Some of their clutches I found to be rather busy, but some like this one, were quite stylish.

Mother of Pearl watchIf you like bling, It’s Alot Alike is the place to go. I admit that I am not a bling person, but I really liked this mother of pearl cuff watch for $25. They have plenty of other items claiming to be inspired by designer bracelets, rings, necklaces and a lot of other stuff.

Red bagFashion heaven is a site that stocks ‘designer alternative’ bags, sunglasses and discount bridal accessories. They have some very neat bags in their clearance section, such as this red handbag.

Prom DressOh and just by the way, because proms (and obviously prom dresses because it is ALL about the dress) seem to be on a lot of minds, I thought I would also take a look to see what I could find. At shopshop.com, there is quite an extensive and reasonably priced selection. The prom dress shop has an extensive collection of designer and designer-like dresses. Fairy godmother has a selection, some of which I found to be a little risqué, even tarty.

So if you are planning to go shopping soon, I hope I have given you all some food for thought!
