Yay for my new boots!
Permalink Closed

Via Spiga RussoI got them at Bloomingdales.  When the private sale is going on, you get 25% off when you buy 2 pairs of shoes and if the total is still over $100, you get an extra $25 off.  I presaled them so I can't have them until Thursday.  :(


I also bought a pair of Juicy flip flops only because due to this deal, it was $70 cheaper to buy both the boots and the flip flops than buying the boots alone.  I couldn't find any other real shoes I wanted.  I have this curse where if there is a discount if you buy 2 of something, I will not be able to find a second thing that I like to get the deal.

OMG - are those Via Spiga?!?! I tried them on this weekend and fell in love, but opted for a more "traditional" pair and get those later. If they are, I am using my coupons to get them!!! I love love love them.

AJ- do you know how long the sale runs and if you have to have coupons or the charge card to do it? I am desperately seeking my Burberry flats.

There were several pairs of Burberry flats there. I used a regular bank card so no you don't need a Bloomies card. The sale runs from Thursday to Saturday (although you can presale today or tomorrow like I did). The 25% off 2 pairs of shoes was automatic (if you go to Bloomies tomorrow, make sure to presale them so that you can take advantage of that offer. You will just have to leave the shoes there and pick them up sometime between Thurs and Sat). I got the extra $25 off because the salesman gave me one of the coupons. They keep a bunch of them behind their registers. I bet if you act really sweet, they will give you one.

Yup, they are Via Spiga, and you too can have fabulous boots like mine. I loooooove Via Spiga!

OMG thank you! I move to NYC friday- maybe I can swing by a Bloomies in NYC on Saturday- I will call ahead to see if they have those specific flats. They are the suede kiltie ones. Maybe I can find another cheaper pair of shoes to wear to work or around town or something. If i apply the $25 off (which I hope they give to me!!), My shoes would be $181.25, plus 8.something% sales tax Not used to that yet! Are the shoes full price plus the 25% off, or on sale plus the 25% off?

You need to buy 2 pairs of non-sale shoes to get 25% off. Then, if the total after 25% off is over $100 (which it will be), you can get an extra $25 off (if you get a hold of that coupon).

The Juicy flip flops actually didn't really qualify because they will be on sale on Thursday. He let it slide because I literally couldn't find one pair of shoes that I wanted besides the boots.

If you swing over to NJ, you can avoid the sales tax. :) In this situation, t would probably cost you more to get here than you would save though. Something to keep in mind the next time you are planning on doing some big shopping.

I should start posting there. You see, I am always worried that people will know who I am if I post my outfits. Like they would go onto ThreadStyle and be like, "Andrea's wearing that outfit today. Wow-Andrea Julia is Andrea! Gosh, that was so non-obvious before."

Aww, but then wouldn't that be cool that maybe you know someone who posts on here, that you didn't realize who they were before? Hopefully you'll decide to post! I would love to see outfits with those hot boots! Did they come in any other colors?

Haha! I think they would have figured me out by now unless it is someone completely random that knows me by face but has never actually talked to me. That is why I am such a weirdo for not posting in ThreadStyle.

They come in black, too.

Ok, I am going to Bloomies TONIGHT! Now I just need to decide if I should get the brown or black - I'm torn.
