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!

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.

Topshop Shoes. About $49 USD with 1 day and 19 hours to go.

Someone is basically giving away this Dolce & Gabbana blazer for a fixed price of $19!

Vintage Missoni Boots. The minute any vintage boot lover finds these, they’re gone. size 9. $120 with no bidders yet. I’d buy these if I needed any more boots right now.

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.

YSL Okay it’s not cheap but it sure is a massive discount from $795. It’s $212.50, and it’s probably shinier and more reflective than every other metallic bag… ever.

Priced on eBay at $1,999, this Miriam Haskel Bracelet is one of those miraculous vintage finds for the serious collector. With mesh spiral covered in pearls, and two massive “blooms” on each end, the effect is truly astonishing. Rare is an understatement for this piece.
