Don't get me wrong, I love sparkles as much as the next person (actually, probably much more), but when it comes to finding the perfect pair of embellished sandals, they often cost a pretty penny. And no matter how pretty they might be, I just can't justify spending an arm and a leg on a pair of flat sandals, especially considering the fact that they'll have to be retired to the closet when the warm summer season comes to a close. I usually find myself spying a pricier pair and just waiting impatiently for them to go on sale like these Steve Madden studded sandals, but that doesn't always work out in the timeliest fashion! You may be surprised, however, to see that it's actually totally possible to find chic bedazzled sandals at a surprisingly reasonable price to start, like these Jewel Sandals from Wet Seal, for example!

The good thing about procrastination, when it comes to stocking up on swimwear that is, is that you get the chance to get a feel for what's out there before you decide... and you get to take advantage of some serious discounts! Sure, sometimes all the good styles are already picked through, or worse, sold out (gasp!), but if you have a good eye and some hardcore shopping talent, you can still cash in on a great bargain and a hot bikini for the season ahead. That's where I come in! I've rounded up a selection of cute suits that would be worth the splurge if they weren't already a ridiculously good deal! At these prices, you could even afford to buy more than one to round out your collection before the weather gets hot enough to make you want to jump in the pool with your clothes on. Don't believe me? Check out the slideshow for my 10 favorite swimsuit picks -- bikinis and one-pieces alike -- all under $50!
