Dear Rodarte, you’re finally mine.

It took me almost a year since Rodarte’s much-acclaimed runway show to get hold of these boots. I bought them from an Ebay store (Chic Little Devil) whose buyer was lucky enough to snatch 4 pairs of them from the recent Rodarte sample sales.

While these boots are as beautiful as I’ve always imagined them to be, the store’s service disappointed me greatly. The auction’s description failed to mention four, yes, FOUR studs missing from the back of one of the boots. When I mailed them about it I was told that he/she doesn’t know about the flaws and offered a full refund.

Needless to say I was extremely furious at the lame excuse but there was no way I’d return them so now I’ve decided to replace all the back studs. We’ll see what happens once they’re fixed.

A word of caution to those who are thinking of buying from the abovementioned store. Make sure that the item is completely free of defects before making your purchase.
