Another very nice sale from a favorite eBay boot seller!

These Zara XL over-the-knee black leather boots from eBay boot seller "livefire" are definitely more my style than the Burberry boots in the previous post.  My size, too in a EU40/US10.  These boots, listed as a "blogger favorite," sold for their starting bid of $99.99.

These boots originally retailed for $199 and measure an impressive 25 inches tall with a sexy rear zipper.  They look great paired with skirts and jeans!  I could see pairing these with a black leather moto jacket and skinny jeans for a look I'd wear all season long!











A favorite boot seller returns with some amazing Burberry boots

One of my favorite eBay boot sellers "livefire" is back with some very sexy knee-high and over-the-knee boots.  As always, she features amazing modeling in her auction ads and often pictures the boots with jeans as well as skirts to show both casual and dressy looks.  Kudos to "livefire!"

These Burberry Prorsum black patent leather thigh-high boots sold for a deserving $360.00.  These were "new without box" and a large size EU40/US10.   The original retail on these boots was $1,320 and they measured a stunning 28 inches overall!  Note that you can even see the tags on the soles!

These are some of the few higher-end boots I've seen her list on eBay, including a rare Dolce & Gabbana over-the-knee pair a year or two ago.

I've never been into patent leather boots, maybe a little too "Pretty Woman" for me, especially in a thigh-high version.  However, these designer boots are surely very well-made and will make heads turn!










Vintage 1980s Halston boots make a rare appearance

Someone snapped up these vintage 1980s Halston boots for their Buy It Now price of $27.99.  These boots rarely appear on eBay these days and I remember seeing them sell several years ago in the $100-$200 range.

These classic black leather dress boots are the first "real" boots I ever owned, having bought my pair at our local JC Penney Outlet Store for $18.99 in the early 1980s.  I thought these were a real deal as they originally retailed for $80.  A fashion find for someone on a college budget!

The leather on these boots was buttery soft and they had sexy spiked heels and nice almond toes. I remember they fit snug and they looked better with a skirt or dress than they did over jeans.

The size 8.5 boots in the auction were even the same size I bought back then.  Thought about buying these for a trip down memory lane!






Some of the original advertising for JC Penney's Halson line featured these boots, pictured on the model on the far right.

Someone gets vintage black leather thigh-high boots for less than $9!

For just $8.76 US, someone got an amazing deal on these vintage black leather thigh-high boots from a seller in Australia.  Even though they were a small size 7.5, they look like really decent boots with some wear. 

I also liked how the seller modeled them nicely cuffed as well as uncuffed to show the different looks.  The style looks very much like vintage Pleaser boots.

At the low, low price these sold for, I'm pretty sure that shipping cost more than the actual purchase price!







A very sexy vintage black leather biker jacket from Express

This Express biker-style black leather jacket, which appears to be vintage, sold for a respectable $39.99.  The jacket was listed as a size M/L and the seller said it was only worn once.

The details in this jacket are amazing - the asymmetrical zipper pull, which is very popular right now, really sets the tone for the style of this jacket.  Then there's the rare zipper placement on the chest and shoulder.  The lower back is accented with two more zippers and six metal Express tags.  Finally, the epaulets are decorated with triangular metal studs.  I might also add that it looks great zipped up and unzipped and creates two very different looks, especially with the collar turned up.

I might have bid on this sexy jacket if I'd been more sure about the size.  I could definitely see wearing it with skinny jeans and boots on date nights!
