A visit to The Outnet can often provoke a response of 'Nope! Still too expensive' followed by the rapid closure of a browser tab. But on occasion, we do spot something well worth bagging - and I'd say these adorable paillette-embellished booties from Marc Jacobs fitted squarely into that category.
A classic shape, made shimmery and party friendly by the sequins, these boots are typical Marc Jacobs. Why not make this your chance to own something by the designer (who, incidentally, usually sells these shoes at £426?)

There’s very little point in splashing out lots of money on lots of gorgeous shoes if you’re just going to chuck them in the bottom of your wardrobe or a pile in the corner of your room. Not only does it look ugly, but it can cause a lot of damage to heels, soles and those delicate little touches.
Taking care of your shoes doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming. You’ve probably heard of using polaroid pictures on the outside of shoe boxes to keep your shoes organised and easy to find. Great, but not exactly the kind of thing you want in your boudoir.
Bombay Duck are here to the rescue with their range of cute storage solutions to fit any budget. This set of 3 designer shoe boxes on the right is the perfect size for storing away your summer shoes for the next few months. They’re £29.36 for the whole set.

I couldn't believe my luck when I spotted my current favourite style by Georgina Goodman in the '60%' off section over at My-Wardrobeearlier today. Ladies, I think the word is 'squeeee!'
Goodman's designs have the trend for elegant and perfectly shapely shoes down to a fine art, and as if that style alchemy wasn't enough in itself, she's added a beautiful lace overlay here with (my favourite detail of all) stripey soles! The shoes are now £120, which makes them a great choice for a special occasion or treat shoe. Pick up a pair here. The slightly more out-there 'Agatha' style is also on sale...

What do you reckon the damage on a pair of these dazzling Giuseppi Zanottis would be? If your guess was over £500 you'd kind of be right - but not anymore, as the shoes have been reduced from £518 to £198 at Matches; a staggering saving for these showstopping designer shoes!
Seen up close, the peep toe heels have an unusual zig-zag pattern in different skins in silver, grey, black, gold and bronze. They'll add a touch of glamour to any evening outfit and in blacks and neutral tones will be a versatile choice, so might be one to consider, even if you don't normally buy designer...

As "deals" go, I guess this will only be considered a good one to those of you who already think nothing of spending $700 on a pair of shoes, because that's how much you'll have to spend on Louboutins to get a free pair of Kova & T leggings at Saks. What recession, I hear you ask? If you're in that fortunate position, though, the leggings in question are worth $100, are black and one size fits "most". Just enter code "KOVAT" at checkout to claim them!

I saw a very happy entry in a friend's blog this morning, which spoke of her delight at having fulfilled a brand new 'life goal': she'd bought herself a pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes. She'd tracked down a pair of reduced VM shoes on Hervia, where you can find many of the designer's unforgettable styles, and these cute, concealed platform Mary Janes are reduced from £339 to £169. I can see them working with almost any going-out outfit I can imagine, and at such a great reduction, I'm not surprised my friend was so happy!

Georgina Goodman's latest range for Evans is being launched today, with special events in larger stores across the country. There's still time to register online and secure yourself a goodie bag and a glass of bubbly if you head to any of the five locations tonight from 6pm. The collection is all created for broader feet in sizes 4 - 10, and will set you back a very reasonable £40 - £60 depending on style. If previous collections are anything to go by, the sandals are quite often fine for slimmer feet too so don't dismiss until you try! If you're headed to Marble Arch, I might see you there...
