I don’t know when it happened, but in the course of a few years the prices at Steve Madden have gone up and up and up. Yes, the man makes some cute shoes, but come on; they are supposed to be for the common (yet chic) lady.

Well, the good news is he is having a major online sale. And I mean major. Up to 75% off of what seems like a thousand different styles.

Unlike other sales I have found lately (namely, at KateSpade.com), this sale isn’t on the old and outdated stuff. Sure, there are some ugly inclusions in the sale section, but most of the stuff being marked down is simply marvelous. Looking for a hot new pair of boots? There are so many good ones to choose from!

I am overwhelmed…and totally ready to spend.

The best part is that I can finally buy those shoes that I don’t quite need but I totally need. You know; the ones that don’t really go with anything but a black top and skinny jeans but would look absolutely killer at the bar. I could never justify spending the $70 or $80, but these puppies are like half off now! Happy belated Hanukkah to me!

I guess the only problem with this mega sale is that all sales are final. I guess I am just going to have to pray that these guys are more comfortable than they look.
