The last Friday Five for 2011! Wow, this year has gone past so fast :)

What I love most about the end of the year are the sales.. I get really excited when I get an email about the stuff on my wishlist that are on sale. I think that shoes are not as ‘season’ dependent as clothes can be and I buy mine mostly when they are on sale and here are some of my favourite ones on sale.

Topshop Garter block Mary Janes $70
Sam Edelman Lyla pumps $75
Bertie Kai low heel ankle boot $158
Dolce & Gabbana velvet-embellished bow sandals $188
Alexander Wang Luisa open toe suede booties $275

With so many sales everywhere, it can be confusing. My sale shopping rules are simple:
1. Would you buy it for full price? If not, put it back down. Cheap items tend to lead to impulse buys that never leave the closet.
2. Shop in Summer for cheap Winter clothes and vice versa. Stock up on basics like a white shirt or a trench coat, you can never go wrong.
3. Have a budget and stick to it (the hardest part!) :)
