With Shoe Prices On The Rise, Where Can You Score A Great Deal?
Category: Fashion Shoes
Gas prices stink. But up until now, us city folk have taken solace in the fact that we could walk to a majority of our destinations (or rely on mass transit) with a little help from some comfy shoes. But now, according to the Wall Street Journal, another kind of pump price is on the rise. Notoriously cheap shoe retailers like Payless and Nine West will be upping their prices as much as 15% within the next year. US customers can blame the rise in production costs in China, plus higher shipping costs, and, of course, the weak American dollar. Alas, no more trips to Payless for mucho cheap deals on knock-off designer duds. However, as always, SheFinds believes there is always a deal out there to be had. We just have to seek it out. Discount shoe retailers, Zappos and Piperlime, may not have mass chains around the country or well-known household names, but they certainly offer ongoing sales on incredibly adorable shoes. Right now, you can score these Boutique 9 silver ballerinas ($60, were $24) or Chinese Laundry snakeskin flats ($70, were $28) at Piperlime for more than half off their original prices.  
At Zappos, we found these chocolate Sasha thongs ($175, were $230) and jeweled Vera thongs ($180, $240) discounted up to 25%.  
Piperlime has fantastic finds under $75 too. So shop the site for some great deals. Free Shipping BOTH ways on Shoes at Zappos.com!  For more fab shoe options, check out our Guide to Spring Shoe Trends.

New York Fur Fashion Week is going on two days this week, with top-name designers such as Michael Kors and Zac Posen participating. Unfortunately, the event no longer garners as much media attention or A-list attendees as it used to. [NYMag] Several luxury brands like Cartier and Prada are creating short YouTube videos to attract the attention of customers. [Gawker] A new reality show showcasing a model search for women over 35 will debut on TVLand June 4th. The show is called She's Got The Look. [WWD]

Fashion Top Five: Feminine Gold Hoops That Won’t Weigh You Down
Category: Fashion Jewelry Top Five
It’s no secret that gold looks great with a tan (regardless of whether it’s real). And next to necks and shoulders left bare by summer’s spare tops, elegant hoops look more elegant than overtly glitzy accessories - especially in smaller sizes with understated design details.
These Gold Hoop Earrings by Herve van der Straeten ($180) aren’t quite circular, making them the ideal addition to a slightly-undone beachy hairdo.
 Gold Hoop Earrings by O by Oscar de la Renta ($60) have a rich, antique look, thanks to the etched detail. 
These Juicy Couture earrings ($58) have tiny buckles at the front. 
These Hammered Metal Hoops ($7.50) from Old Navy are glamorous, simple, and ridiculously affordable. 
We’ve been loving Kipepeo’s Sakura Earrings ($129) for a while - the design inside is a clever way to make the classic gold hoop unique.

Earth Flip-Flops Make You Work While You Walk
Category: Fashion Shoes
What: Earth Breena Sandals, $99 Why: Usually, flip-flops are banished to the back of my closet - only taken out for pedicures, trips to the beach, and the occasional run to the downstairs deli when I'm too lazy to tie on some sneakers. And they've never cost me more than $5. That is until I found a flip-flop that actually puts my legs to work. The Earth Company has developed a new technology in their footwear called Negative Heel Technology that makes your legs work extra hard when walking around, thus forcing your body to burn extra calories. I was certainly skeptical at first, but as soon as I slipped on a pair of their Breena sandals, I felt the balls of my feet being pushed backward as I walked, forcing me to make an extra push forward to keep going. It was actually kind of cool. The Breena is made of leather straps and a silky suede footbed which makes them ultra comfortable to slip on, and disguises the fact that your legs are getting a workout. And anything that disguises a workout gets a big, fat gold star in my book. Get Yours: zappos.com
