Welcome back to the Winter Wonderland of shoe shopping deals at Shoefly! Here are a couple more of my top picks from the Shoefly Winter Sale. First up: Claudia by Report. Word on the street is that glad lip gloss could be all the rage this season. Perhaps it’s the nose-diving economic outlook that’s bringing goth into mainstream fashion. Everything looks pretty bleak these days– why not our makeup? Or Maybe the dawn of the Twilight series is bringing fashionistas into the fold of the undead. Regardless of the black lip gloss tipping point, I’m on the lookout for shoes to match. Claudias are a perfect pair to bring together the Victorian undead look I’m going for. Sale price: $50. Regular price: $67. Extra money for YSL lip gloss: $17.

And for Shoefly Guys, I pick the PAO125X by Pawelks. Mens Designers on Milan’s runways showcased pieces with clean, tailored lines and a black-and-white color palette. As in womens trends, the art of mens fashion seems to be imitating life. Designers are “sobering up” as the world wrestles with the economic crisis. This is not the time for flamboyant fashion. These boots from Pawelks are a smart choice for these times. They’re well-made, so they’ll last through the upcoming lean years. And their geometric stitching pattern adds the touch of texture to help you stand out from the monotone crowd. Sale price: $209. Regular price: $299. That’s a savings of $90 to feed back into diversifying your stock portfolio.
