Stunning Italian black leather OTK boots by Gianvito Rossi

Beautiful-New-GIANVITO-ROSSI-Over-the-knee-leather-boots-sz-40-5-10-5



These Gianvito Rossi "Madison" black leather boots have been near the top of my Boot Wish List for awhile now.  However, even the starting bid of $400.00 was a little too pricey for me, especially considering they were a few sizes too big.  These size 40.5 / 10.5 boots ended up selling for $420.00.

From the seller's photos, it looks like these boots originally sold for $1,760.00 but were "on sale" for $1,232.00.



This style is near perfect to me - gorgeous Italian black leather, sexy stiletto heels and pointed toes, and the ability to wear them cuffed or uncuffed.  I also like the nice clean lines with the pull-on styling and no zippers.  These would look great paired with a gray tweed skirt at the office as well as with skinny jeans at night.  Sigh...

Super sexy soft black leather boots from Brazil by way of London

More from "br0nn1e," this time a pair of sexy black leather thigh-high boots by Office of London. These size 38/7.5 boots sold for $102.56.

These boots feature beautiful soft leather, sexy spiked heels, pointed toes and a new favorite boot feature - a rear zipper!  Including the heels, these measure a nice over-the-knee high of 26 inches. Interesting that these boots are made in Brazil, where most of my favorite vintage Wild Pair boots were made!

Some of the sexiest boots I've seen on eBay lately.  I'd like to get my feet into a pair in my size!









Some stunning stiletto boots from a UK boot seller

More from UK boot seller "br0nn1e," this time a knee-high pair.  These Boutique 9 boots received an impressive 37 bids and sold for $106.88.  These size 39/8.5 boots featured sexy stiletto heels and pointed toes.

They look stunning paired with the model's skinny jeans!  They'd also look great paired with a tweed pencil skirt.  The only thing I don't like about these is the ruching above the ankles.  I'd rather my boots scrunch naturally!









A favorite eBay boot seller returns with some vintage thigh boots

eBay boot seller from the UK "br0nn1e" was back selling lots of high-end thigh-high boots during the holidays.  As always, high quality boots and some stunning modeling!

These size 39/8.5 vintage boots sold for an impressive $117.72.  These boots measured a tall 30" include the 4" heels or as the seller stated "full thigh length boots!"













And they're the perfect length for wearing with this print dress!

A real deal on a vintage 1980s Emanuel Ungaro black leather dress

Someone practically stole this vintage 1980s Emanuel Ungaro black leather dress for its starting bid of $49.99.  This size medium dress features a button front and high collar with buttons.  The attention to detail on this dress is very impressive.

This would have been very tempting in a larger size and would look great paired with tall black leather boots, leather gloves, an angora beret and dark sunglasses.






Vintage Wild Pair crotch-high boots finally sell...the third time's a charm!

After listing these vintage Wild Pair black leather crotch-high boots twice at considerably higher Buy It Now prices (previously $275), the seller lowered the BIN price to $199.99 and she sold them within 24 hours by accepting a Best Offer.  These boots were a size 8 and appeared to have a fair amount of wear.

Some very nice outdoor modeling too, which is a rarity on eBay!

Even with nice modeling, quality boots sometimes don't sell

Although they didn't sell for their starting bid of $150, I couldn't resist posting pics of some great selfies of these size 7.5 Frye "Shirley" over-the-knee boots.  The chocolate brown boots look perfect paired with the belted camel-colored coat and skinny jeans.

UPDATE: The seller relisted these boots and sold them for a decent $145.50.







Vintage Italian thigh-high boots sell for $256!

eBay boot seller "marmfrut" has listed some incredible tall boots this season, but these are by far my favorite. These vintage Italian crotch-high boots by Pola sold for a deserving $256.00!  These size 40/9 boots measured a stunning 32" tall!  I would expect that the metal-tipped heels sound incredible walking across a hard surface, too!

As usual, superb modeling by the seller really shows off these incredible boots!













Some holiday deals on high-quality long black leather gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" continues to offer some exceptional quality long black leather gloves for sale.

At $34.00, someone got a stellar deal on these size medium, new without tags, long black leather gloves by Cache.  The photo collage is a nice touch as well!



These stunning 27" long black leather opera gloves by Fernando Berlin were another deal at $89.99. If these new with box gloves had been larger than a size medium, I would have put in a bid!


























These vintage Bergdorf Goodman Italian leather opera gloves sold for $142.99.  These 24" inch gloves were a size 8 and silk lined...nice!

In true opera glove style, these featured a mosquetaire button-opening at the wrists.

The seller said these were purchased at an estate sale in Los Angeles.  I'd love to go to an estate sale and come across some stunning gloves like these!
