Dear Powers That Be, if you could somehow manage to make either this black-on-black stripy top hat or this black and dark red stripy top hat (clicky-links!) belong to me, that would be WONDERFUL. Please note that they are full-sized top hats, and therefore the Stroppy One has no reason to sigh, roll his eyes, and say "More mini top hats, Jilli? Really?" I covet both of those hats desperately. And you must admit, a stripy top hat is FAR more practical for me than a tiny tricorn with a pirate ship on it.

Boots! I didn't have my favorite black lace-up granny boots for a while, as they were having the soles and heels rebuilt by my mad cobbler. So I needed functional, yet cute boots. A while ago,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashbet linked to the Stark style boots by Jump; they were slightly taller than ankle boots, zipped up the sides, had cute button details, and had a rubber wedge heel. I liked them, but not enough to pay over $100 for them on Zappos. Then I went and looked on Amazon (clicky-link!), and discovered that certain colors/sizes of that style were on sale for under $40! Well then. So I got them, and marveled at the comfortable-ness of them. Plus, super-cute!
I decided to look at what other styles the Jump brand offered, and discovered the Bjork boots (clicky-link). Flat, with a rubber traction sole, bigger button details on the side, and oooh, the same sort of discount for certain colors/sizes! Yes, you guessed it, I got them too. Both styles work very well with my Victorian Gothic/Steampunk/Pirate-y wardrobe, and good lord, comfy! Soooo comfy!
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the discounting of the various Jump brand boots. Some sizes and colors are full-price. Sometimes none of them are discounted, and then a few days later they are. But if you're looking for new boots (and are willing to purchase them online), I recommend checking Amazon every week or so to see what the current prices are.
I now no longer need to purchase any more boots. No, I do not. And I'm contemplating selling off some boots that aren't quite what I wanted. Because I need to finance taking the purple pair of Bjork boots to the mad cobbler to have them dyed a more wine shade, and having the white granny boots that I found dyed cupcake pink. (Oh yes. I am going to have pink boots.)
But I DO need more top hats. Yes. There is no question of that.

Pretty things!
I was browsing the interwebs. These Cotton Candy wingtips (http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Shoes/Melissa+Wingtips+in+Cotton+Candy) reminded me of you.

I wish I could try those Jump boots on some place. Whether or not I wear 10 or 10-W really depends on the style and there's really no way to be sure without trying them on. May be worth the risk for that price though...for the Stark style I mean...

Oh, I'm sure that comm will be dangerous. But since there's actually very few MAC things that I omg need right now!, I should be okay. (I can hear you laughing at me, stop it.) ;)

Boots!
O.o
Do you get a discount and free shipping, or just free shipping? It looks like it's part of the supersaver shipping thing, but if you also get a discount I might have to slip you some cash...

Those are my beloved boots that were off with my mad cobbler. But now they're back and as good as new! I'm probably going to wear them tomorrow, actually.
