Things I Love - July!!
Jeffrey Campbell Tardy Lo (Black) - £45.94 /
Ebay
Hey everyone!!
Hope you're all well!!
I've had such a busy week full of
work (well 3 days, but you know what I'm like).
Not to mention worrying about my
Nan.J (she's still in hospital).
On the upside I had my first driving
lesson after two years!!
YAYAY!!
I didn't crash the car - GOOD TIMES!!
Anyway...
Although I have been a little busy
bee, I'm trying to stay on top of things here in my little fashion world. I
think I'm doing rather well, as I do have a habit of neglecting some important
aspects. But I'm back again and soon enough you won't be able to get rid of
me!!
Sooooooooo....
I HAVE ANOTHER PAIR OF JEFFREY
CAMPBELL'S!!!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Sorry I'll calm down...
NO I CAN'T!
I'M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!
I think I'm more excited second time
round about these shoes then first; but I think that's because I never thought
I would have another pair this soon. I suppose it was the same as when I got my
two tattoos this year (one in January and one in April); I never thought I
would get them in quick succession. I honestly check the
Soletrader website and
eBay probably every week, but every week I
never find anything I like/my size isn't in stock. By a sheer flook I was
having a look on
eBay and decided to check
out the
Jeffrey Campbell's.
That's when I saw the listing for these bad boys - the
Jeffrey
Campbell Tardy Lo's. Now I have only heard of these shoes on occasion.
Unlike their big sisters the
Tardy's,
the
Tardy
Lo's are not as well known (well they weren't to me). As you guys may know,
the
Tardy's
themselves are without doubt the rarest
JC's out there. This is part
where I actually didn't realise the
Tardy
Lo's are just as rare. Anyway, I saw that these beauties were up on
eBay and had only one bid on them. In the
description they were listed as a size US11, now this made my mind go all
gobbaldy goop. I think I looked at about 10 different size guides and then I
just decided to bid. I actually forgot about the shoes until last Sunday (I
bidded on the Friday) and I received an email congratulating me on winning. At
this point I was slightly in an 'O M G WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?' I was so worried
about the sizing/paying and all that jazz, as I've never bought anything off
eBay before. I paid straight away and waited
a few days, until I received another email telling me to contact the seller. I
literally had no idea what to write, so I just asked about the delivery and
apologised for being incompetent. Eventually I received confirmation that my
Tardy
Lo's were on their way to me. About 7:45am this morning the postman came a
knocking and I literally legged in to the top step. My Mum came in with the
package that I have been waiting for all week. I sat outside in the garden with
my parents (freezing I might add) and I revealed the loveliness from inside. My
first reaction was 'OMG they're higher than I thought they would be' but my
unconditional love kicked in. They're just as pretty in person as they are in
the picture. I honestly couldn't stop giggling and the excitement flowed
through me, (yes I know they're a pair of shoes but they're lovely). I sat on
my bed and took loads of pictures of them to put on
Instagram
(priorities). I was excited to have the
Jeffrey Campbell box as well! I
know that sounds silly; but I've always wanted a
Jeffrey Campbell box
(preferably with shoes inside). I ended up going back to sleep after deciding
to try them on at a reasonable time. When it came to trying them on I was a
little bit scared, I honestly had no idea whether they would fit or not.
Thankfully by some absolute miracle they fit and they are so frigging perfect.
They are insanely high (well for me); but the shoe boot look is amazing and
they're really sturdy when you stand in them. I did have to pretty much
completely unlace them to get my fat foot in; but they're still comfortable
even with a swollen foot (it didn't hurt - good times). I am really happy with
these shoes and I can't believe I own a pair!!
These may only be my second pair of
Jeffrey Campbell's, but I am
literally obsessed with
JC's
and I can't wait to build my collection.
