As you might remember, I was considering buying a pair of black Prada boots for 150$. I decided against them, mainly because I realized that since they weren't easy to pull on I probably wouldn't wear them as much. Today I visited another consignment shop and bought the shoe/pump version of those from Miu Miu (black, kitten heel, slightly rounded toe, and a mary-jane strap) NWOT for 50$! My shopping angel must have wanted me to have those shoes! :)
I also found a funky, strangely attractive (to me) pair of black leather lace-up booties, which I am still hesitating about (I put them on hold). I wanted to find a picture of them but I can't so I was hoping that someone here might recognize the brand: the inside of shoe had the letters EF and a picture of a mushroom. They looked really classy (great leather) and European-made.
