I wanted these Chelsea Cobbler boots to fit me so badly. But my spindly calves put paid to that desire, so they’ve just gone up on the website. Then, flicking through a 1970 copy of Nova (as you do), I spy them on the rarely-spotted designer Georgina Linhart. Geek heaven + spindly calves = Geek Hell. Or something…..sigh. Please will somebody very lovely buy them from me?

Hi there-great pieces, really love the footwear, especially those first black boots! x
Those boots are amazing!
I love your blog and shop! a very lovely lady in Nottingham told me about your vintage wares and I had to check it out! Very catchy name else I would have never remembered! Thanks for your blog comments and your insightful Biba knowledge! x
Those yellow boots are stunning!
You can't beat a pair of black patent boots. I have the same problem with skinny calves xx
Porcelaindoll, Well I am very much bowled over by your lovely comment. And very chuffed to hear that my name is memorable (if it can't be sensible, it might as well be memorable!!).If no one buys them, I might just have to have some calf implants and keep 'em myself
