Last-minute bidding drives up the price on Tamara Mellon's classic "Icon" boots

These Tamara Mellon "Icon" boots sold for an impressive $405.  What's especially impressive is that I was tracking this auction and it went into the final minute of bidding with only a $71 bid.  I thought someone was going to get a real deal on these, but then the bids shot up within the last minute.

These size 39 boots were made in Italy and feature a sexy 105mm heel and nicely pointed toes.  These are the classic black leather knee-high boot style.  They're also trendy in that they can be worn slouchy.  They've just recently been discontinued by the designer, which is interesting considering how popular these are with the fashion bloggers.  Tamara Mellon herself also wore them for several photo shoots.

Nicely modeled vintage Dolce and Gabbana boots sell for an impressive $399

Even in a small size 36.5 (US 6.5), these tall black Italian leather boots by Dolce and Gabbana sold for a very impressive $399.  Especially impressive as these were the knee-high version of these boots and not the OTK version.

This style rarely appears on eBay, but when it does, always seems to garner some interest.  I've always liked these boots, especially the super sexy pointed toes and stiletto heels.

Although the seller indicated these came with the original box and dust bags, she didn't post photos.  For as many times as I've seen these boots appear on eBay, I've never seen them with the original box and dust bags.

Finally, they're very nicely modeled with the print dress, both sitting and standing.  A great work or holiday party look!  And a special kudos to the seller for posting the maximum 12 photos allowed on eBay - a nice assortment of modeled and unmodeled photos.

A real deal of sexy designer boots!

Some lucky bidder got an incredible deal on these designer Loeffler Randall "Myrna" boots for only $13.25!

These size 9.5 boots originally retailed for $795 and feature sexy stiletto heels and pointed toes.









They were also featured in an episode of the tv show "Gossip Girl."

Who knew Vince made sexy leather boots, too?

I'm used to seeing Vince leather jackets and jogging pants in buttery soft leather at designer prices, but who knew they made boots, too?!

These Vince black leather OTK high stacked heel boots sold for their starting bid of $115.  These size 9.5 boots would have been tempting if I didn't already own the very similar Candela "Cloti" boots which are very similar but with ankle straps.

A sexy, timeless style that would look stunning paired with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket for a great "date night" or concert look.

Interesting how the seaming detail extends all the way down to the bottom of the heels.

They're listed in a size 10 on therealreal.com for $150 with a 20% off coupon code, bringing them down a reasonable $120.

A deal on Anne Klein boots, nicely modeled

For $19.99, someone got a deal on these nicely modeled size 8 black leather dress boots by Anne Klein New York.  While they pair very nicely with skinny jeans, these would look equally great worn with a pencil skirt to the office.

A real deal on sexy stiletto boots by Loeffler Randall

Someone got a real deal on these sexy spike-heeled black leather boots by designer Loeffler Randall. These size 9 boots sold for $15.50!  These designer boots originally retailed for $495.

I've wanted these "Myrna" style boots for a long time, but just couldn't manage to pull the trigger on this pair, which had a little too much wear on the soles and heels for me.  Otherwise, I really like the clean lines, sexy spiked heels and nicely pointed toes.

I also wondered if they're actually knee-high considered the photos I found of these boots actually being worn on the tv show "Gossip Girl."  The actress wearing the boots, Ella Rae Peck, is my height at 5'5" and they come well below the knees on her.










I might kick myself later, as these boots are currently listed for $199 in a less desirable size 7.5 on Poshmark.

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!

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.
