So I was going to wait until tomorrow to post about these, but I can’t because I’m impatient and rubbish at holding back things I want to share. Say hello to my new favourite shoes, a pair of suede 70s/90s platforms.
When I saw these puppies on eBay I fell in love instantly but didn’t count much on my chances of winning them. When there were five minutes left I sat and watched the auction, fingers poised, hoping that maybe my measly bid might be enough. I was expecting an all out bidding war but then, with seconds to go, nobody outbid me. Not one person. The auction ended and I won with a bid of £10.49. Ten pounds fourty-nine!
I can’t for the life of me understand how I managed to get them so cheap. Maybe I’ve gone crazy and they’re actually really hideous, but you know what? I don’t even mind because they give me five extra inches of height. And a rather comfortable five inches at that.
wow those things are gorgeous!! nope you definitely haven’t lost your mind :)
was fully expecting to read jeffrey campbell at the bottom of these pictures, the fact they are unique and cost my train fare to uni is even more enviable – great find! x
if you’re crazy, then i’m nuts because those are seriously the best find i have laid my eyes on in a very long while! just beautiful!
Ahhhh thanks Erin!
No way! Those are amazing. Maybe the eBay gods were just on your side that day.
Good heavens! Those are incredible! Lucky lady :) The only time I ever actually won something on Ebay, they got lost in the mail. Haha. But those are fantastic!

These shoes are serrrriously so cute. I absolutely love them!
ho-lee-crap! they are amazing!!! i never go on ebay, i feel like stuff like that never happens, but maybe i should give it a chance now and then.
your shoes are absolutly lovely! what a fantastic bargain! they are so wonderful looking, and vintage! i love the 90s. especially their shoes :D
Gorgeous! Such cool shoes!
I think they are pretty. I love the earthy color and the ankle straps!
They are absolutely gorgeous! I’m quite sceptical of such high shoes though – I’d be well over 6 ft with five extra inches of height.
Ah, I’m only 5ft 3″ so I need all the extra height I can get!
You’re definitely not crazy. These shoes are amazing. And by the way, I love the way you write it always makes me smile. And yours is one of the rare fashion blogs where I look at the pictures AND read the text :)
That’s such a huge compliment, thank you!
Amazing find, they look in such good condition too. Had clicked on over in the hope that they would be a high street find but alas I shall have to look on in envy! x
they look amazing on you! and cheap as hell!
Wow, those are some serious shoes! I’m bidding on some work boots at the moment, fingers crossed they won’t get too expensive!
Good luck!
Oh wow, what a bargain! They look incredible. And I love how you’ve photographed them – did you have to put them on after you’d climbed on the rock or are they actually deceptively good shoes for climbing in? :). x
It’s actually a fallen tree! I put them on before and then climbed up very carefully, ha. I did make the mistake of jumping down at one point and nearly twisted my ankle!
Oh wow they’re beautiful! I love buying vintage shoes on eBay, they’re always so cheap xxxx
Wow, if I’d just got these shoes I would certainly post about them straight away too! What a bargain!
They’re amazing, I can’t believe they were so cheap! They remind me of a Clarks advert in one of my Mums magazines from the 70’s xxx
These shoes are not hideous at all ^^ they are a little eBay treasure ^^ x
Fabulous, bargain! Jealousy is my main response. They are so flattering!
I think think they are amazing!
They’re super amazing!! I always think about bidding in auctions because many of them end in amazing prices but most of the time I don’t..! Have fun with them!
AAaaaaah I should go back on Ebay, these babies are AWESOME !
See U !
OMG! These are awesome! Great score!
Gorgeous shoes!x
They are to beautiful for words! Love them!
