My birthday is in February, so let’s just get it out of the way that Feb is the best month of the whole year (not a personal bias, it is just a fact. Beautiful white snow, a few precious days shorter than all the others which makes it unique and special, and a glorious day full of praise, gifts, and attention for yours truly. How could that not qualify as the best month?).

Other than Feb, my favorite months are the summer months - full of sun, laughter, vacation days, and no wake motor boat trips around an adorable chain of lakes. This year, however, I have an even better reason to love the summer months… or more specifically the transition from May to June. Why? Why I’ll tell you:

To celebrate the transition into yet another glorious month (the first of the true summer months in my opinion… going by a school calendar at least), Barefoot Tess is having a “MAY all your dreams come true SALE” going on all weekend at Barefoot Tess! The entire site is 20% off for the last 3 days of May - an outrageous site-wide sale as we slide into summer. When you use the code ‘20OFF‘ you can grab sandals, sneakers, wedges, heels… all at an amazing 20% off discount!

May all your dreams come true.

May you be given 20% off all your favorite shoes at BFT.com.

May you thoroughly enjoy your final days of May.

May you have a wonderful June.

I could go on. I shouldn’t. I won’t.

Snatch up your favorite summer styles before May ends, and enter into June fully prepared! Don’t forget to use the code “20OFF” to collect your savings (enter code on the first page of checkout)

Very very well done ladies! After a few great guesses, the correct celeb was identified and a winner determined! So who was this lucky (talented) famous foot identifier?

I can’t seem to control myself and just say the name, cause I have this weird thing for drum rolls…

And the $25 coupon grand prize goes to this week’s winner: Stephanie! Congrats Stephanie! She correctly identified the beautiful and large-footed Geena Davis as our mystery famous feet. Ok, I’ll prove it to you:

Whether you got the $25 coupon or not, head over to Barefoot Tess and check out TWO GREAT SALES going on now: the after Memorial Day WHITE sale (discount code ‘WHITE’ for 25% off shoes in the “Shop by Style - White” category) and the Cocobelle and JP & Mattie appreciation sale (code ‘CJPM’ for 30% off Cocobelle and JP&Mattie shoes). And stay tuned to the site, a little birdie told me more great sales are coming up this weekend!

I have two words for you: Hot Diggity. Describes yesterday’s hot dog at your Memorial Day BBQ (or fancy bacon grilled onion hamburger if you are of the culinary crowd), as well as the new Gwyneth ‘Zola’ Sandal now available at Barefoot Tess.

Sandals are abundant this time of year, but gorgeous beaded suede sandals are one in a million. Add a cushion for comfort and a style to kill for and we believe we just might have stumbled on the perfect summer shoe. It’s a big claim. Then again, it’s one heck of a sandal.

Check out the new ‘Zola’ and all sorts of other shoe goodies at Barefoot Tess!

Once upon a time there was a girl’s basketball team at Maynard High full of stylish, shoe-loving females. One day these large-footed talented athletes stumbled across Barefoot Tess’s Team Size-Up Contest where the grand prize winners got to name a shoe. Name a shoe? they thought. Why we can’t think of anything more delightful.

And so they entered.

Other teams tried to step up to the competition, but these strong girls were always one step ahead. Finally, the scores were tallied and the winner was announced. The Maynard High School girls had won it all! Next step: shoe naming.

The perfect shoe was chosen - one that had style, charisma, comfort, and bright summer colors. This would be their shoe. This would be their legacy. And so, I introduce to you, the one, the only, the MAYNARD!!!

Go to Barefoot Tess to see this brand new shoe that has everyone talking. Order it today and get free shipping on any domestic orders over $100! And don’t forget about BFT Twitter-Mania still going strong!

The longer the mystery goes unsolved, the more clues I will give you.

Things that are greatly underappreciated:

Dryer sheets. Sporks. Shower drains. Butter and Bensimon shoe designers.

What would your life be like without soft fluffy laundry, the perfect tool to spear that runaway pea, hair clogged in gnarly drains, or a closet without adorable heels and sneakers? It would be much worse. Much much worse. But while most people have come to own, if not fully appreciate, the dryer sheet, spork, and shower drain - many people still do not recognize the brilliance of Butter heels and Bensimon sneakers. Alas, it is time to open your mind and enhance your world

Barefoot Tess is making it so that EVERYONE can enjoy these incredible and under-appreicated designers by giving 20% off ALL SHOES from designers Butter of Bensimon today only!

Butter heels will tickle your toes and leave you feeling smooth and hot as butta baby. Bensimon sneaks will have you prancing around town with style and vibrance. See what the hype is all about and check out the gorgeous array at Barefoot Tess:
