Ladies, if you have never experienced the thrill of shopping at a Nine West outlet then you are definitely missing out on one of the finer pleasures in life. Because Nine West shoes are so affordable, they have become a staple in my closet, and I look forward to purchasing at least one new pair every season. Not only do I blame my addiction to Nine West on their low prices, which simply cannot be beat, especially when compared to other designer labels, but also their chic designs. I can always find a pair of shoes which make me feel young and sassy.

Sure, I often find myself drooling over some Christian Louboutin shoe, but I can usually find a similar style from Nine West without having to worry about my bank account. Take for example, this pair of gladiator inspired Sulliban Ankle Strap Sandals which hug my feet like Cinderella's glass slippers. I can wear these shoes with just about about anything from my wardrobe, including shorts, capris, dresses and jeans. Not only are they fashion forward, but they're also extremely comfortable, which is important because I can walk for miles in them without feeling any pain.

Having only heard about the AMAZING bargains to be found at a the Nine West Outlet, I of course had to check it out for myself, and boy was I not disappointed. Not only did I pick up some incredible bargains, but I also found the sales staff very helpful and friendly. Now I have to say that outlet shopping is not for everyone, especially for those without any patience, because you will have to sort through a mountain of shoes. I had to try on at least 8 different pairs of shoes before I found what I wanted, but I left a happy camper. If you want to get in on the savings, which will knock your socks off, then by all means grab a friend, and make it an event. You can visit the Outlet Bound - factory outlet store directory for a full list of locations and start planning your next trip.

Those who know me know that besides being a fashion junkie I'm also a bit of a television addict. I won't admit to being a slave to fashion trends, however, and I like to think that I have my own personal style. That being said, I do get a bit of enjoyment out of seeing my favorite celebrities decked out in shoes or clothes that I myself own. In this case, it was Blake Lively aka Serena Van Der Woodsen of Gossip Girl fame, spotted on set wearing the Iceblue ($109) ankle boots from Nine West. I vividly recall waiting for these to arrive at my doorstep, and thinking how hot they were! If you covet Blake's look check out the items below.
