Things I Love - April!!
Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spike Boots (Black/Silver) - £36 / Urban Outfitters
Hey everyone!!
Hope you're all well!!
As you can see again there's a lack
of ootd posts, well that's because (in basic terms) I'm being lazy! I have been
out with and without make up; but by the time I get home I'm just so tired. I
know I'm being terrible; but it's just been an odd time at the moment (when is
it not). I'm sure everyone has these moments, so bare with me as we resume
transition (ha ha I made a joke).
Anyway...
I have some very exciting news...I
FINALLY OWN A PAIR OF JEFFREY CAMPBELL'S!!! I am so excited that I FINALLY own
a pair of these bad boys. Ever since I discovered the world of the blogosphere
I had seen these shoes everywhere; but had no idea what they were or where you
got them from. I must admit I did hunt these shoes down to see what designer
they were and what style they were as well. I think I'm almost an expert on
Jeffrey Campbell's now. Flash forward two years and at the end of every month,
I'm trying to justify spending over a hundred quid on a pair of these. Every
month I always find some excuse as to not buy them; but this month I couldn't
even think of an excuse. Now my original big purchase this month was my tattoo
(a unicorn yayayay); but a trip to Bluewater has changed everything. So like I
said I went to Bluewater yesterday with the family for a little outing and
wasn't planning on spending any money. I picked up what I wanted to get but a
trip to Urban Outfitters changed everything. I suggested to Charlie about
popping in there; because of their kooky gifts (it's her friend's birthday this
week). I headed to the graphic t-shirts, as I'm in love with their tees I just
hate that they're the price that they are. After losing interest I made my way
to the shoes and there sitting on top of a mini podium were the loves of my life.
I noticed they had a tag on them (which they've never had in the past); so I
made a beeline for them and saw on the tag they were £40. I literally went in
to shock as the tag also said size 8, but I wasn't sure what they consider a
size 8 to be. I picked up one of them and saw 42 on the bottom and I almost
died...ok not died but I honestly couldn't believe it. These are the same boots
that back in January were £120 and then had gone down to £88 and now £40!! I
grabbed them and tried them on immediately and the fitted (which I knew they
would). I have never held on to anything tighter in all my life, it's one of
those moments when I actually can't believe this is happening. I got some
cheeky discount and they became £36 which is completely insane. I was willing
to pay £139 and to get them for £36 is just darn right crazy!! They are genuine
Jeffrey Campbell's and I'm so FRIGGING happy. For the past two days I have gone
in to my room just to stroke and hug them. I know that sounds crazy but I never
thought I would ever own a pair - this has not only made my month but my year!!
You will definitely see more pairs of JC's in my shoe collection in the future.
If this experience has taught me
anything, it's that good things come to those who wait. I'm still on a high
about owning a pair of JC's that I don't ever want to come down. I may be being
over dramatic but hey I'm a girl and I love shoes - that's life!!
p.s I'm popping to Cheltenham
for a few days so I'm going to be absent for a bit, but I will definitely see
you guys when I come back!!
