My dream bag...

[bee*]

I posted a few weeks ago on the dream bag thread that I''ve always wanted a Jimmy Choo Ramona. Well the JC Riki is the smaller version. On friday when I was in New York, I went into a consignment store and they had one there! WOOHOO!! It''s normal retail price is $1600 and I got it for $495

So so so excited! I will post some photos later on today as I really need to get some sleep after flying back this morning. Also bought three pairs of Manolo Blahniks so will post photos of those too. All shopped out now for another few months

haha turns out I did

(Wishful thinking!!)

Thanks everyone-I will post a few pics now!

 

[bee*]

Whoops forgot to post it!

And another. I still can''t believe that I got it for that price. It came with a certificate of authenticity and I also took it to the Jimmy Choo store to make sure and it''s 100% authentic

 

[bee*]

I''ll get some better pics of the bag tomorrow when I''m less sleepy!

On to the shoes... I have one pair posted on this thread as they are going to be my wedding shoes

wedding shoes

Here is another pair that I bought. I was going to buy them in Barneys when I was buying the silver pair but I decided to wait until the next day to go to the actual Manolo Blahnik store as I love their bags. When I went to the MB store the next day-they were a third off there

I was so glad I didn''t pay full price for them at Barneys. The silver one''s weren''t reduced in either store.

One more of the red shoes

 

[bee*]

Due to the fact that I got money off the red shoes, I decided to be bold and buy another pair of Manolos-I got these black high heel pumps also. They are so comfortable. The photo''s that I''ve taken aren''t great but I''ll try and get some better photos tomorrow

BEE- you''re the best!!! I''ve been looking for fabulous shoes for the wedding and I think these red ones are them! I''m heading over to MB tomorrow. Just curious, when were you there and did they have a lot of pairs left and when was the sale going on until (if you know)??

 

[bee*]

Hey Scarlet-I was there on Saturday and I got a size 39. The woman said that there were a couple of sizes left. I''ve no idea when the sale is going on till but they had lots of shoes still for sale so I doubt it''s finishing yet. If you can''t get them there, Barneys had plenty of pairs, but they were full price unfortunately. Best of luck!

Bee, congratulations! That was quite the steal on a stunning bag.

Then you just HAD to go and mention the deals at the MB store... and taunt us with those pictures... and reiterate the great MB-only deals... you just made me miss living in NYC so very badly!!!

I''m sorry

. I know how you feel though-I would kill to live there-it''s my favourite city in the world and I just adore going there so much. Due to the wedding I probably won''t be able to get back this year so I have a whole 17 months to go until I hit NY soil again

It was definitely a steal on the bag though-I love consignment shopping.

 

[scarlet16]

WAAAA! So sad...just made a special stop over to the MB store and while the sale was still going on, they didn''t have the red (or even silver) shoe for me to try on! Oh, how envious I am of your on-sale beautiful red MB shoes, Bee!

 

[bee*]

aww nooooo! That''s rotten!

There''s always Barneys.......

They had plenty of them-granted there wasn''t any money off but still......

 

[Kaleigh]

Congrats on the bag bee*, and those shoes?? Love them!!! Lucky girl!!!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Shopping is great but nothing compares when you get such a good deal! I LOVE your purse and the shoes are all gorgeous!
You are so lucky! That purse and those shoes were meant for you ... enjoy them! ... as if I had any doubt that you would.

 

[bee*]

Thanks Kaleigh and Sparkalicious! The bargain definitely makes them all the more sweet. I''m still in shock over the bag though-even D has been telling people about the bargain that I got

 

[bee*]

Thanks SDL! The red ones are definitely my favourite

 

[Lorelei]
