tiamatladyTwo of the goodies I got while on Holiday!
I FINALLY got a pair of New Rocks!
Got these in London at the Pound exchange rate, instead of CHEAPER when I needed them in Germany *sighs*
They're not the ones I was lusting after, I was having serious issues with the buckles on them and my giant calves (hey![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halo the Same Problem I had with those boots I got from you. I still have those, I think I'm loathe to give up on them!) These have velcro, which I HATE the idea of but I have to admit, they work for me.
Plus, they have purple flames. *evil grin*
While in Germany at the Agra, I was told about the super duper shopping and finding things I'd never see again. I was actually disappointed since I didn't see MUCH, although I did see some deals (And if I were the stick figureemarkienna is I'd have bought some of it!)
But I DID stumble across a tiny little vendor, with just a table with the most AWESOME chokers! They were made out of leather, cut carefully into shapes, and then COVERED in glass beads. Black Natch! One large one with an Anhk caught my eye. I tried it on but it felt too much like a posture collar, so I reluctantly put it down. The seller, a VERY nice lady whose card I have somewhere, in a Russian accent got me to wait for a bit and she pulled out two more, smaller items.
This I'm CRAZY about!
That's the detail on the center of it. It ties with a ribbon around the neck. I'm thinking of beading a collar attachment around the ribbon so it fits tighter, the ribbon tends to loosen.
I can't WAIT til I have somewhere to wear them!
More is coming, I'm working on things right now!

It's the closest word I have for it) and they are SUPER ASS comfy! The other boots I tried on had the buckles which TOTALLY didn't fit, and another style with velcro (which were the heels I wanted) didn't have the panel, so they looked awful.
A nice Muslim man in Camden sold me these, informed me I was the FIRST to buy them (to which I snorted but then people later said "OH I've never seen this style before" so I started to feel better. *grins*) and they looked fabulous.
I'll warn you - they were NOT EVEN CLOSE to cheap. The price in pounds was bad enough, then the conversion rate *gags* My credit card was smoking! However, I think they're MORE than worth it and will give me much joy for a long time (or they had better!)
