YES! I have been waiting for this sales event for months! MONTHS, I TELL YA! And now that it's finally come around.....at first I was completely underwhelmed. But I think that is cause I am sick this week. I went back to Homeland last weekend cos it was a long holiday in Workland and caught my nephew and nieces' bug.
Anyways, I digress. The point is - I LOVE BLACK FRIDAY DEALS! I have just completed my first ever Black Friday purchase and I love it! I was looking for interesting deals via The Budget Babe's site cos she has a special Black Friday/Cyber Monday section and saw an entry regarding Endless.com's 30% off on selected merchandise in shoes and accessories. I thought I'd take a gander and look around to see if any of the shoes I've had my eye on would qualify for this special discount.
And whaddayaknow? Of course there will be two of the footwear I've been dying to get qualifying for the 30% off discount AS WELL AS free priority overnight shipping! I got myself the Steve Madden Tsunamii motorcycle rainboots in Black and the Reebok RunTone in Gravel/Brazenberry.
I wanna talk about the Reebok's first. I have been looking at these shoes since last year when I was trying to figure out all these toning shoes. These atheletic footwear have a RRP of $99.95 but I have been averse to paying that much for a pair of sneakers. So periodically I will check around during the major sales events and the Reebok EasyTone/RunTone range ARE NEVER INCLUDED in the sales. I will always be majorly disappointed once I've put 'em in the cart and enter the promo code and it always comes back that the shoes are ineligible for the promo. So when I saw on endless.com that these athletic footwear would qualify for 30% off, I immediately did not hesitate to get them. I ended up paying USD69.97, woohoo! And even better that they had it in the black/fuschia color combo I had been eyeing. That's simply the perfect mix - great price and great colour. Love it!
The Steve Madden Tsunamii rainboots I've liked after seeing them on the Bloomies site at the tail end of Summer this year. They are a new release by Steve Madden and became available in September if I'm not mistaken. I have been wanting to get this since and have just been waiting for the right site to give me the best possible discount. I recently had it in my Piperlime cart cos I got a 15% discount when I signed up for their email newsletter but was holding out for Black Friday before I checked out.
And I'm soooooo glad I did. At $55.96 after 30% off, how could I not??? I have been looking for a good pair of knee high boots to wear that are not pleather. These are made out of rubber which could look (and smell) awful but because the material is quite matte, the boots don't look so plasticky. I originally wanted Hunter rainboots but in the end I came to my senses and decided that somthing below 100 bucks was reasonable. I also love the contrast zipper stitching in red. I think this detail gives the boots a very fashionable air and serves as a fashion piece as well as for the obvious practical reasons. The other reason I thought this would be a great buy is the fact that it has an adjustable buckle at the top of the boots so calf fit should not be an issue. Sometimes boots can be too loose/too tight at the calves so it's great to have the option of tightening/loosening the straps and that they actually serve a function and are not simply decorative. Also, love that these rainboots can be zippered into instead of having to pull them on/off from the top. Saves one time struggling to get in/out of them :D
Total spent was $125.93. I am sooooo happy with that. I think I should stop at this for Black Friday shopping but since the weekend is coming up and I have no plans, I'm most likely going to end up sitting at my laptop and browsing. And when I browse, I usually end up buying :P
