A real steal on Balenciaga "All Time" boots!

These Balenciaga "All Time" thigh-high boots are near the top of my boot wish list, although I never thought I'd be able to afford them at their $1,695 retail.  I became kind of obsessed with them after I saw Celine Dion rocking a pair way back in September 2016 leaving the Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles.

Pointy toes, pencil-thin stiletto heels, sleek lines, sumptuous black leather with just the right amount of sheen...perfect!



Needless to say, I was very surprised when a pair showed up on eBay this week and only sold for $530.  I'd been upset if someone got these boots in my size at this price, but these were actually a small size 36.

The seller listed these as "new with defects" and went on to say that the uppers had some minor scuffs from storage and the shaft of the right boot had a faint white stain.  If the defects appear in the photos, I sure can't pick them out.

The 4.25" heels don't concern me as much as the 29.5" shaft on somewhat short legs!  They're actually meant to be worn in this season's slouchy style.  These boots are stunning, that's for sure.  






The writing on the bottom makes me wonder if these were purchased for $340 at a sample sale or off-price retailer?!

A deal on an Italian designer leather jumpsuit

Someone got an incredible deal on this designer black leather jumpsuit for it's starting bid of $49.00 with free shipping.  This sexy jumpsuit was a size 6 and made in Italy.  The black hardware is a nice touch, too.

A deal on a very nice black leather trench coat

For $41.65 plus only $9 shipping, someone got a deal on this very nice, classic black leather trench coat in a women's medium.  With the exception of a rip on the pocket, this classic trench appears to be in very good condition.

I especially like the double-breasted styling, wide lapels and collar, epaulets, and wrist straps.



Stunning Italian black leather thigh-high boots

These stunning Italian black leather thigh-high boots in an usually large size 13-14 (EU 45) received an impressive 49 bids and sold for a deserving $232.50.  These were listed as "new without box."

Stiletto heels, pointy toes, Italian leather - what more could you want in a sexy boot?

Vintage Italian OTK boots sell for $236.50!

These vintage black leather over-the-knee boots received 30 bids and sold for a very impressive $236.50!  These size 10 boots were made in Italy and nicely modeled with skinny jeans and a leather trench coat.  I especially like how they can be worn cuffed or uncuffed.

Vintage boots of this quality rarely appear on eBay these days!

A beautiful belted leather blazer

I've always had a weakness for belted leather blazers and this one by BP (Brass Plum by Nordstrom?) fits the bill perfectly.  This size XS lambskin blazer sold for $49.00.  If it had been my size, it would have been very tempting!

I taken a leather blazer and belted it with a wide leather belt, but it really needs to be double-breasted style like this one to pull off the look well.

I can see pairing this with a pencil skirt and dress boots for the office or skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots for date night!



Vintage Deerskin Trading Post black leather dress fetches an impressive "Buy It Now" price

This vintage black leather shirt dress by Deerskin Trading Post sold for its impressive "Buy It Now" price of $125.  Although I've bought and sold a few of these on eBay, it's been quite awhile since I've seen any listed for sale, especially in a desirable size XL.  The dress appears to be in great condition except that it's missing its original matching leather sash belt.  The seller also mentioned that it has a slight smell of perfume, which I sometimes enjoy when buying a pre-owned leather garment.




I found some photos from a previous eBay listing, showing it modeled and belted.

Another very nice vintage pair of Wild Pair thigh-boots

I'm not sure why, but the seller of the Wild Pair crotch boots in my previous post also listed these Wild Pair boots for sale, but ended the auction early because "they were no longer available."  I wonder if a nice offer convinced the seller to make a direct sale to someone?

These sexy boots were a size 7.5 and had a very attractive starting bid of $49.00.  According to the seller, they had very light wear as they were only worn indoors.

I've always enjoyed the sexy pull-on styling and spiked heels on this style, but have not been a fan of the reptile insets at the heel or the rear lacing.













A deal on vintage "Wild Pair" black leather crotch boots

These vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots made a rare appearance on eBay and sold just over their starting price of $200 for $202.50.  What's appealing about these is that they appear to be in excellent condition, and according to the seller, these are "much sought after" and "an almost unattainable" size 10.  I also like her text, "The leather on these is amazing.  Soft yet thick and the aroma is delicious."

Kudos to the seller for several quality photos, some nice modeling, and for taking full advantage of the 12 photo eBay limit!

Considering the condition and large size, I'd say someone got a deal on these as I've seen them go for around $300-$400.  Kind of makes me wish I'd put in a bid!


























Maxima by Wilson's Leather mini-skirt with boots

This Maxima by Wilson's Leather mini-skirt is listed at $40.95.  What caught my attention was how it was modeled very nicely with some black velvet-like slouchy thigh-high boots!

Pleaser thigh boots fetch an impressive price

These size 9 Pleaser black leather thigh-high boots sold for an impressive $99.  The Pleaser boots I've come across aren't the best quality leather (pigskin), but the styling of their thigh-high boots is classic.  It also helps that these are nicely modeled!

Given the timing, these could have sold well because they're in demand as part of someone's sexy Halloween costume!  With the rear lacing detail, these would make great "pirate wench" or Catwoman boots!


I also like how the seller shows them cuffed at two different heights.
