My Nine West Tenant Booties arrived from the USA yesterday. The whole thing was a bit of a drama but I am glad they are here.

Originally, way back in June I noticed the booties on sale in Australia on the Nine West site for $100. I was undecided so I didn't buy them. Later in mid-July I noticed they were further reduced to $89 or was it $79? In any case they were sold out Australia wide! We don't have a Nine West store in Tasmania so purchasing online was the only option. I hadn't seen nice shoe boots anywhere else in
town. I considered getting some similar ones from ASOS.com but was unsure of the quality of ASOS shoes fater reading up on them on the Vogue forums. I couldn't find my size on eBay either. I resigned myself to missing out on the booties. Then for some reason I typed in Tenant for a Google search and lo and behold Amazon.com had them, in my size, for USD$34.95 and free delivery across the USA (Amazon doesn't ship to Australia). Woot! I bought them and forwarded them to Aaron from the now defunct BoxVoyage forwarding service. Aaron closed down his business the day after I bought the shoes on July 23. Phew... The postage ended up costing more than the shoes but all up the cost of the shoes and the postage once converted to AUD cost exactly what I would have paid for the shoes on sale if I had walked into a Nine West store and tried them on.

They fit like a glove and look so cute! Can't wait to wear them somewhere...anywhere! But the weather is awful at the moment. Very wet and cold. The booties are satin covered so there is no way I am wearing them outside until they get at least 3 coats of Scotchguard on them :)

Here they are...
