Shopbop made me, I swear. I was very innocently browsing through the pages of lust-worthy shoes when my eyes landed on the most beautiful pair of boots I've ever seen. After just a week of deliberation and discovering there was only one size 37 left, they magically 'fell' into my cart and I was fishing out ye ole credit card (I only have it for the frequent flyers, ladies and gentlemen). With my heart pumping, I confirmed the order and come Monday, they were mine.

Now, I wouldn't usually splurge that much on a pair of boots. I pondered for months over buying my Tibi boots last year and I ended up getting them for around 70% off (bargain!). If that taught me anything, it's that I'm definitely going to get my moneys worth when it comes to leather goods, especially after the Tibi boots were practically superglued to my feet last winter. I can safely say that the Acne Jensen Boots will be the exact same, and some. I believe they're what you call an investment piece.

And just when I thought I'd had my fun for the next decade ( ha!), Shopbop had its way with me again. I blame the sale (or at least that's what I told Brad). What sale, I hear you ask? The Friends and Family Sale, of course! I ended up getting 25% off* a few full priced and sale items using the code 'INTHEFAM' at the checkout, including this silk Equipment shirtdress and mini  Botkier Tote. Like I said though, Shopbop forced my hand. There was simply nothing I could do, right?

*Excludes some brands/styles, but there's a huge selection included still, as my credit card found out. Again. Le sigh.
