When I was invited to get involved Wish's Winter in the City style challenge with Honda, my immediate thought was to these over the knee suede Stella McCartney beauties. I'm the self-proclaimed Queen Supreme of bargain-hunting on eBay, and I got these never-worn stompers for a quarter of their retail price - WINNING AT THE INTERNET.
It wasn't an easy decision, though. I've been trying to get rid of my wardrobe piece by piece in preparation of a life with minimal wardrobe space in NY, and have actually been succeeding. I was also meant to be saving money and generally participating in non-boot purchasing behaviour, but these were way too good to pass up. I justified it with the thought of sub-zero days where knee-high boots wouldn't be good enough to protect my quivering and cold thighs, and the concept of walking around NY in my first pair of sassy thigh-high boots. This may or may not had something to do with my Sex and the City binge.

Shortly after this I also fell under the spell of a pair of heavily-discounted Louboutin Pigalle 120s. Big girl shoedrobe, come at me.
