This week I completed half of my Christmas shopping on eBay! I am so tempted to post what I got, but that would ruin the surprise for my friends an family who check the blog. If you haven’t started shopping yet and you have some tough people to shop for, I suggest you start now! You can find high-quality stuff for really good prices on eBay right now.

A Gift from a Fellow Ebay Addict! J. Crew Necklace!

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH LAUREN for this astronomically awesome turquoise J. Crew necklace! Lauren is a fan of this blog, and even though she lives across the Atlantic in the UK, she took the time to send me this amazing gift. I had never received a gift from a reader before and not only did it blow my mind that someone would send me a gift, but also that the gift is literally perfect… so much so that I was actually considering buying this same necklace for myself on eBay just as her gift arrived, no joke.

THE. BEST. GIFT. EVER.

 

Lauren, you’re awesome. This is literally one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten in my life. I am so touched by this gift! And I’ve already worn it a bunch!

 

Daily Splurge Fantasy: Louis Vuitton Rubber Raincoat. Yes the WHOLE COAT IS RUBBER!

This is not your average raincoat made of vinyl or plastic. It’s made from the same rubber as your classic rainboot.  From a distance, it looks like any other coat, but the closer shots really show the material well. The original retail price: $3350. This is currently available on eBay at $1275. I’ll keep dreaming.

Ridiculous Ebay Splurge Fantasy: Dolce & Gabbana Magenta Coat

There is no other option but to be the center of attention in this Dolce & Gabbana coat. It’s a flashy magenta and gold combination with substantial crystal buttons, and of course the signature leopard print lining. This was $2995 originally, but now it’s on eBay at $1500. With the tags still attached, I wonder how long it will take for someone to buy it. The seller is also accepting offers, however, that doesn’t mean you can get it for “cheap”. I have a feeling, though, with Christmas around the corner, someone lucky will go for it.

I love you guys

As of this very minute, I am back in Miami. (As my last post explained, I am now looking for a new job, and it felt right to come back home for a while). Last night I finished all my business in NYC at the last second, with the help of Craiglist and UPS. I’m lucky to be here where it’s 90 degrees and sunny and the beaches are so calm. I’m even more lucky to have you guys as fans and reader of my blog. I want to thank all you readers who come to my site and enjoy the posts. You guys and your comments always make my day.

Back In Town… and I missed tons of mind-blowing auctions….

Okay… so it’s been a couple weeks. I lost my job a few weeks ago, and we all know that’s common in this economy (I was working for Weddingbee.com, the top wedding blog, and I loved it). Facing the reality of being back “on the market” with so many other people, I took some time to do tons of thinking, visit some friends, and now I’m back, ready to catch up with all the seriously astounding stuff selling on eBay right now. I still am not sure what exactly I’m going to do now, but I will have to at least temporarily leave NYC and head home to Miami. I’m moving back in about a week. After seeing all the eBay auctions I missed, I’ve been fantasizing about becoming a “professional eBay shopper”.  Talk about a dream job!

Armani Lace Skirt. I mean, come on, just look at it. This is AMAAAAAAAAZING. It retailed for $2695… yeah, and it sold on eBay for $249.99 with the original tags attached… yep. I want to offer mega-congrats to whoever out there won this life-altering skirt on eBay.

Someone nabbed these incredible, embroidered shearling Miu Miu boots. I envy the winner, who got these beauties for just $82.

Whiting & Davis Blue Mesh Handbag. I never imagined loving a mesh handbag until I saw this. Retailed for $300, sold for $74.99.

I also was impressed with this vintage Whiting & Davis mesh top which sold for $162.49.

Oscar de la Renta Boots. I remember seeing these in magazines years ago and being totally blown away. This pair sold for $271, another eBay victory.

Amrita Singh Necklace. Sold for just $1.34. Necklace from this line typically retail for $75 to $450.

Maybe 2 years ago, in an Anthropologie catalog, I saw this cardigan by OI Lin and gasped. I’ll call this a “statement sweater”. $213.47.

Topshop Shredded Top. $16.50.

Chaiken Dress. Sold for $26.76. A bargain on a designer dress just doesn’t get much better than this.

All the vintage jewelry lovers swarmed in on this jaw-dropping Trifari clamp bracelet, which ended $406.50.

Dolce & Gabbana Silk Coat. I can’t believe this sold for $151.

Karen Walker Dress. $96.80.

If I ever see this super sexy Gucci skirt on eBay again, I’m buying it. This one sold for $89.99.

This Dolce & Gabbana miraculously sold for just $114 despite retailing for about $1500… a bargain so hot, it hurts my brain.

Everyone wanted a piece of this 80’s sequined top, which sold for $285.

This Hanii Y cardigan/top make you looked almost layered, but without actually layering. $57.99.

Lady Gaga-Inspired Sunglasses. $70. Anyone considering dressing up as Gaga for Halloween, eBay has you covered.

Someone scored some chic Etro pants for just $19.99.

A very hot Shakuhachi mini-dress sold for $92.50.

Marni Belt. $58.

Cacharel Trench Coat. Another migraine-inducing bargain, this sold sold for a measely $30.

I LOVE this vintage enamel shield charm bracelet, and I rarely like charm bracelets. $64.

Dolce & Gabbana Tartan Bustier. Who wouldn’t want this? $157.50.

Blumarine Sequined Cardigan. $199.

Yet another lovely Dries van Noten scarf. This one sold for $46 and I’m regretting missing out. I love anything with a yellow and white print.

This stunning Alice McCall coat sold for just $70.

Karen Walker “The Outsider” Sunglasses. These are a lot of style for the money at just $33!

Etro Sweater. $63. I love it!

80’s Slouchy Oversize Coat. $105.50.

How about this SHOWSTOPPING vintage Pucci Dress?! It sold for $760 and it’s worth every dollar in fabulousness. Whoever won this dress should throw a party just to celebrate it.

Yves Saint Laurent Silver-Blue Leather Jacket. $158.50.

I fell in love with this vintage cream and tan wool hat, which sold for just $6.99.

I envy the winner of this cool and versatile Miu Miu top, which ended at just $55.02.

I really love these Marni sunglasses, and at $41, I’m hitting myself for missing this auction.

Tracy Porter Blouse. $56.

Miu Miu Heels. $90.90.

Manoush Princess Dress. $61.

I’ve been wanting a leather shirt like this for a while now. Sonia Rykiel, $162.49.

This vintage locket is simply a clear, 1″ sphere, but somehow that’s what makes it extraordinary, which explains why the auction went up to $158.49.

There are always tons of vintage beaded purses on eBay, but this one steals the show. This one ended at over $600, but didn’t reach the reserve price. Maybe it will be relisted…

Fab Vintage Ebay Store: Dolly Dagger Vintage

Thank goodness for Australia. It must be something in the air over there, because I consistenly find that all the coolest clothing is coming from eBay sellers down under. Dolly Dagger Vintage is one of those stores that clearly takes the time to handpick everything so it’s all “just right”. They collect a bunch of stuff, sell it all out in a week, and then come back with another perfect crop. So keep your eye on them to catch their newest round of vintage finds. Here’s some of their recent offerings:

I just got this on ebay – Anthropologie Stormy Sea Necklace!

This is still on Anthropologie’s website right now for $48 (here). And it’s worth the price, but I got it for $30 on eBay using a gift card I’ve been holding onto! Let me tell you, I’ve seen this necklace online several times and thought it was just “nice”, but it wasn’t until I saw designer Sweet Pea wearing it on Project Runway’s All Star Challenge last week that I realized “WHOAAAAAAA I NEED THAT NECKLACE!”. I pretty much logged into eBay right away and snapped it up! The photo doesn’t do justice to it. This necklace is large and has a lot of presence. What I really like it about it that the stones are subdued without looking cheap, and the gold beads really are semi-glossy-to-matte, and the gray strand is made of jersey, which makes the necklace extremely versatile. I wasn’t the only one who noticed how great the necklace looked on Sweet Pea… I saw people twittering over it and Sweet Pea herself got so many questions about it, she had to tell everyone about the necklace on her own blog, Sweet P Vaughn. Thanks Sweet Pea for opening my eyes (and eBay for being way too convenient)!

Please feel free to email me any of your eBay wins at elanarobinson@gmail.com, and I will feature it on the blog. Who doesn’t love bragging about a good deal? : )

Daily Ebay Splurge Fantasy: Rick Owens Stretch Contoured Jacket

This Rick Owens jacket takes the whole huge collar-lapel idea to a level of perfection that creates a massive impact, despite the quiet neutral color and total lack of embellishments. Notice how the sleeves are designed to look a little twisted and then gathered and the ends? What a dream. I bet there is no “wrong” way to wear this one. This jacket is currently selling on eBay at $457, ending tonight!
