Not so hidden treasure...

Hi all, I just wanted to share with you the most amazing bargain I have picked up in a lonnggg time! Its no secret that I am bit of a shoe fanatic and generally dont deprive myself of  newbies if I spot something I want.

There is however a particular brand that has had me fascinated with their quirky range and unusal styles, and the brand is Jeffrey Campbell. It first started when I spotted my first set of Lita's and fell deeply in love.

My mum and boyfriend often joke about me looking like a clown as I have a tendency to go for large, clunky shoes which are a little out of proportion with my matchstick legs poking out! After perusing the Jeffrey Campbell website for some months I just couldnt decide on the design I wanted and figured that buying an imitation wouldnt satisfy my need for this brand, but when the shoes are £100+ these things do need careful consideration.

On Saturday my boyfriend and I went to do a spot of shopping in Newcastle and went to one of my favourite haunts, Urban Outfitters. I love that the place is crammed full of quirky one off pieces and has a mixture of accessories, shoes, clothes and even homeware. As soon as my feet hit the top of the staircase I was drawn to the shoes, for a change. I could see some leopard print, pony hair platform shoes. Instantly I knew whether these were in my size or not I had to have them as they were the last pair. Things only got better from this point as I picked them up and looked at the bottom fearing what numbers the little white sticker would hold. Much to my surprise it was a pleasant find.......£30. Bargain, they were in the sale and in my size. As I grinned away to myself I figured it may be a sensible idea to try them on, flipping them back over to undo the buckle was when the excitement really hit. Two little words glared up at me.....I had only just gone and found myself a pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes for £30. I didnt even know Urban Outfitters stocked the brand!

Keeping tight a hold I rushed off to find my boyfriend, who admittedly didnt seem as elated as myself but was probably relieved he wasnt going to have to dish out over £100 on another pair of shoes for me. Although I still dont have a pair of Lita's...........................................................................................

Has anyone else found a bargain they literally cannot believe, please share?
