I recently saw a pair of black boots with hearts on them on another blog – Lou’s Labyrinth to be precise – and being a sucker for hearts I decided to find out whether that brand (T.U.K) was available in Germany. I wasn’t planning on actually buying a pair – just looking. But when I discovered they were also available in red I was no longer able to resist – hearts and my favourite colour! It had to be done! Plus Amazon had them on sale for a mere 44 euros, rather than their usual 80-something. Obviously, it was destiny.

I placed the order on 13 February, exactly 6 months before my 30th birthday, telling myself it was necessary retail therapy to get over the shock of the big day being so close. They were dispatched almost immediately and arrived the next day – Valentine’s Day! It couldn’t have worked out more perfectly if I’d planned it that way.

The neighbour who’d taken the parcel for me wasn’t home when I got in from work, but as soon as she got back she brought it round to me. I could hardly wait to get into the box!
Even the shoe box had hearts on – a sure sign it was meant to be a Valentine’s gift to myself 😉
I think I might actually keep the shoe box to store things in. It’s too pretty to throw away!
Taking off the lid, I got my first glance of the boots.
Oh my! Prettiness!
Out of the box, they looked even nicer:
The next stage, of course, was to try them on. I’d never bought shoes from the Internet before and I was a bit worried about whether they would fit – quite often I’ll try something in “my” size on in a shop, only to find that in that particular style I’m actually a size bigger or smaller.
A perfect fit. Hooray! 50 euros well spent 🙂

Serendipity indeed 🙂 happy days 🙂
Very happy! 🙂
Congratulations on their pinkness 🙂
lol, they’re actually bright red. The pinky/orangey colour has something to do with my camera and the light in our living room, I suspect.
Well that’s a relief!
Gorgeous! Love em!!
Me too 🙂
Bargain! And I love that they’re so heart filled and arrived on Valentine’s Day! I used to have a gorgeous pair of TUK shoes, I’d forgotten all about them…*starts online shopping*…
Haha! I hereby absolve myself of all responsibility if you end up spending more than you can afford 😉
Wow, I love them! And they were clearly meant to be, arriving on Valentine’s Day like that!
Definitely – it was fate! 😉
Oooh! Very cute boots!!!
Aren’t they? 😀
