What's the best bargain you've found this summer?

Behold the black suede wedge oxfords by Christian Louboutin I bought a couple of days ago at Bergdorf Goodman. I first spotted them there at the end of last season, fell in love, and immediately came up with about a million different scenarios in my head for which they'd be perfect. I'd been looking for a men's-style oxford for ages though none were quite right. Adding a wedge heel—which I never would have guessed would work as well as it does—brings a sexy, feminine spin to the style, and although it's quite tall, it's also surprisingly comfortable. But then I noticed the price, $695(!), which was way, way more than I was prepared to spend. In an awesome twist of fate, when I dropped by the store again this week, they had one more pair in my size and it was on sale, massively reduced to $278. Still not cheap, but at 60 percent off and considering how badly I had coveted them for months, how could I refuse? So I ask you: In this, the height of the summer sale bonanza, what's the best bargain you've found?

I found a pair of barely worn Tod's pumps at a secondhand shop for $10. Yes, $10. They're very boys' club boardroom chic...I can't wait to wear them when I travel for work.

Funny how things work out sometimes. On Tuesday, I left a pair of very nice sunglasses in a store. When I returned, of course, no one had turned them in. I was walking to my car when I glanced down... a pair of Fendi Sunglows, which they no longer make,just lying there. Not a bargain, but a nice surprise.
