Anyhoo, I couldn't not stop in the Rack and after rummaging thru a few non-exciting refurb bags (just Tory and Kate Spade) the SA mentioned they got a few shoes in too. So I ran. Good thing I did.
The all-black kitten heeled Rockstuds are a perfect size 40. I won the worn and refurbished lottery. How often does EXACLY what you want turn up? I had $80 in Nordstrom notes so they were just $170!!! Plus I triple pointed the day to get even more bang for my buck. I had to take the gold ones too even though they are size 41.5 because they aren't that huge - but I will have to have additional holes put in because the straps are a little loose. But again, for $250 they had to come home with me. I know I have a mixed audience so some of you don't get spending so much (even if they are $1000 shoes) but I REALLY wanted these. For a REALLY long time. I literally hit the jackpot.
I've also been stalking Century's 90% off stuff and my advice is to keep checking for returns. Yesterday I found these red Chloe flats for $27.72 (they still have the $695 Saks tag on them!) and the metallic ones for just $17.82.
So yeah, it's been a really good week. I finally have my Rockstuds. FINALLY. I went in to pickup Rockstud totes for friends and walked out with my dream shoes. Call it karma...
For all of you still waiting for yours, may the Rockstud gods be with you too!
XOXO

i luv u soooo much haha. I hope you make so much on the bags that you end up getting your shoes for free. and those chloe flats are tdf!! so happy for you (and me). you are the most amazing friend, thank you for making my dreams come true too <3
ReplyDeleteAw thanks V - honestly I'm not making much on the bags. I probably should have ebayed them for double but I'm trying to pass along the savings to friends and clients.
DeleteAnd I know I always say it but you're so funny. Can't wait for you to be back in the City :)
amazing finds! very excited for you!

Thanks so much! So excited for me too :)
Deletei have those valentino shoes in the kitten heel! they are super comfy and practical.
ReplyDeleteRight? They are the perfect heel. Still can't believe I found exactly what I wanted.
DeleteYour waiting paid off, I really like those gold pair. I have the kitten style to and they have passed the all day in NYC walking test. It was definetly your good karma rewards for 2 pairs!! How many of those totes were you able to pick up. I got a bunch of DMs too, but the store is too far for me to make another trip after a 10 hr day at work. Hope you got for those I couldn't :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm not sure I'd walk around all day in them but I'm sure I can last longer than the standard 3 hours I do in most of my heels. I grabbed 5 totes and left at least 4 of the $520 red patent ones behind. They said they sold 8 the day before too. These prices are insane!
DeletePs- adore those metallic red Chloe flats. The 90% off is dry downtown. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks - it was just a random return. I keep checking every day LOL.
DeleteBB doesn't have any of those stores near here... and something tells me my hubby +BabushkasSweetie is probably very happy about that. ; ) Glad you were able to find what you wanted. BB2U
ReplyDeleteThanks - at this point my husband knows to leave me alone when it comes to fashion :)
DeleteHi i cant follow your ig . Are you blocking me? My ig is prommintr. Would you please let me know if you find any valentino bags please? Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteI didn't see a @prommintr on Insta - is that spelled correct? Often I block private accounts that only have a couple followers or posts as they tend to be spam account. LMK and I'll unblock you. No more bags right now but I'll be sure to share if I find more :)
