Fab Vintage Ebay Store: Dolly Dagger Vintage

September 23, 2009 · 2 Comments

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 went to an eBay party!!!!” continued….

August 7, 2009 · 2 Comments

Ok, so last week I had the immense pleasure of attending the 2009 Ebay Holiday Preview Event in NYC. The event was fantastic, so I have to fill you in and show you some pictures! They had tons of cool stuff, plus cocktails, a DJ, and (yes!) gift bags!

First of all, the event was designed to help enlighten people about the limitless scope of the product offerings on eBay.  Many people have heard of eBay, but most people still don’t understand that there is almost nothing you can’t find on eBay. I’m so glad they had this event to showcase the vast array of what is available, from fashion to electronics, vintage to new, because I feel so strongly about that message too (I mean obviously, I’m and eBay addict). The also gave insight into some of the biggest trends that have been going on in the last year on eBay, which I always think is cool. I love statistics about what items are getting more popular on eBay.

In the midst of being amazed at all the items they set up, I was able to mingle with all sorts of people involved with different aspects of eBay. That was fantastic because, as if meeting eBay people isn’t enough of a perk for me, I got some great ideas/advice too!

So this was the entrance:

Here’s a shot of the early crowd (it got packed later). Notice the cool chandelier made from belts, necklaces, and license plates! My boyfriend and I are in this shot, next to the mannequin in the black jacket, near the TV screen on the right:

The Watchlist: A Few Days of Fantasy

May 28, 2009 · 6 Comments

Honestly, if I had a lot of money, I would be having a field day on eBay this week. I found such a large amount of amazing stuff at insanely good prices, I am going to explode. Pulling myself away from spending… is not going to work much longer! I can’t take it anymore! Too… much… hotness…. I…… can’t resist…

Fab eBay Store: CHIQ VINTAGE

May 27, 2009 · 1 Comment

California-based eBay store Chiq Vintage offers a little bit of everything, but I especially noticed their selection of skirts and dresses, many of which look refreshingly simple and contemporary. The best part is that most of the items can be had for $20-$50. Come here for vintage items that have a little retro flair but don’t scream loudly for attention. Be sure to check out their vintage swimwear and accessories too!

Catching Up: Only The Best

May 14, 2009 · 6 Comments

Moved to NYC, check. Got a job and an apartment in 6 days, check. Realized I had done it all too quickly, and made the tough choice to quit the job, check. Just sat down yesterday to breathe for the first time in more than 2 weeks… and saw the Star Trek movie last night, check. You should go see it too, it’s perfection. The only thing I sadly didn’t squeeze in recently was these great eBay auctions, too lovely for me not to post. Enjoy catching up with me, and be ready for a slew of hotness this week, as I can tell that eBay seems to be ramping back up to it’s true glory again (perhaps its the air of optimism that the economy is getting better soon).

I’m dubbing this “Ebay Item of the Month”. I know we’re still early in the month, but this will be very hard to top- a Prada chain mail top. This is so runway! The auction started at $0.99 and ended at $275.99 and this top is worth every penny of that and so much more. I don’t even want to guess what the original retail price was. I wish this were mine, but want to say major congrats to whoever won this piece of art! This sort of thing probaly won’t show up again for a long time.

This Prada dress wins a close 2nd place… retailing for a super-heftly $3315, this to-die-for piece sold for $769. I swear if I EVER see this dress again in my size I will have to at least put in a bid.

Hussein Chalayan Dress sold for just $48. This was probably at least $350 in retail stores.

Sigh*… just missed it

April 19, 2009 · 5 Comments

So, I am in the process of packing up to move to NYC. I have been scrambling around in mounds of clothing and boxes, trying to get it all together. When it’s all done, I will have had a total of 10 days to pack. Is that enough time or am I just  inefficient? My real problem is the “junk drawer”… I have 4 of those. I am vowing to get more organized, so I want to sort out all the junk and pack it up in a very organized way. In the midst of that lofty goal, I missed quite a few outstanding eBay auctions. I am recovering.

A stunning Christian Dior Dress ended at $172. Whoever one this dream dress, major congrats!

(Extremely) Fab Ebay Store: Kuku Vintage

First of all, I want to say that Kuku Vintage is currently carrying about 10 items that are worthy of being dubbed “item of the week”. Secondly, I want to say that it’s stores like this that make it soooo hard to stop spending, especially if you love a little avant garde flair in your closet. Leather? Check. Lace? Check. Big Ruffles? Check. The list goes on. For the vintage fur lovers, Kuku Vintage has also got you covered big time with much more fur than similar shops. Somebody please tell me how they found an amazing big 80s sweater that I am dying over! I don’t even like sweaters! I also am not a fur fan, but they have a teal leather vest, with wide shoulders and fur panels, that actually may be the hottest super-80’s vest I’ve ever seen. See what I mean:

Fab Ebay Stores: Neon Life Vintage & Twenty Three Vintage

February 2, 2009 · 3 Comments

Neon Life Vintage is a great little stop if you love quirky vintage pieces with unusual details. I had never seen an 80’s pastel-floral-fringed jacket actually look good until I saw the one they’re selling right now. I also have no idea how they found a denim studded jumpsuit that look cute. They might inspire you to take a few more risks, so check them out:

Twenty Three Vintage is a pretty new store, but they started off with a bang. I don’t know her name but I swear their blond model was on a season of America’s Next Top Model. Their attention-grabbing clothing is impossible to ignore. I can’t even believe how many items I am lusting over from this store!

Ikahn Vintage has an unusual mix of vintage 70’s and 80’s items with contemporary lines such as Ya-Ya, Rebecca Taylor, Tocca, and Vena Cava. They caught my eye this week with one of the coolest 80’s jumpsuits I’ve ever seen. Plus they squeeze in a few cool shoes and accessories, so check them out!

Fab Ebay Store: Hipsters Playground Vintage

January 26, 2009 · 4 Comments

This store discloses it’s US location as “Hipsters Playground” rather than naming the actual city. I’d love to take some guesses as to where that is, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that their clothes are cool. They offer a carefully chosen variety of vintage items that are in excellent condition. You won’t find any flaws here, but you will find some super 80’s gear, leather, lace, and sequins.

Fab New Ebay Vintage Stores: Bambi Bones Vintage & Trendsetter Vintage

January 14, 2009 · 6 Comments

Bambi Bones vintage seemingly dropped out of the sky (from Toronto actually) with one awesome piece after another. Once I found myself wanting an orange fringed cardigan, I knew I was going to have to post about this store. I’ve bookmarked them and can’t wait for them to post their next round of items.

Trendsetter Vintage

I’ve been watching this young store for just a few weeks and I’ve been impressed back to back with some of their items. There have been numerous great avant-garde looks, and well-chosen vintage classics. It’s worth checking by this store periodically so you don’t miss out on any great deals before this store gets too popular!

2009 starts off on the right foot- A Hot Watchlist:

January 10, 2009 · 5 Comments

It’s good to be back home in Miami. After some adventurous holiday traveling, it has only become more clear to me that Miami truly does have the best weather in the country, except for maybe Hawaii. With a low at a “chilly” 67 degrees (lol), it’s a shame I really do not need to buy any more jackets yet I’m still tempted by eBay’s prices. For those of you elsewhere in the USA, it’s another prime week for on eBay for ridiculous discounts on jackets, among other things.

Christian Dior Leather Jacket. $53 with 5 days remaining.

g2sm87027ed5-dd12-4998-9f4f-10b76f75a6c9-29806

Reiss Tuxudo Jacket. I’m in love with this. $20.55 with less than 24 hours to go! STEAL! (retail was $420!)

Burberry Short Trench Jacket. $26, ending in 2 days.

g2sm998281c4-ffd0-49a8-9241-9aebf2e6fe67-29529

g2smaac7d562-bc2e-48ae-bc0d-56165649994d-29751-1

Etro Plaform Sandals. $199 with 3 days left, no bidders yet, but if no one grabs this I recommend waiting for the seller to relist this at a much lower price.

Up & Coming Fab Ebay Store: Bunny Hut Vintage

December 10, 2008 · 6 Comments

A little vintage, and a little avant garde, Bunny Hut Vintage pieces make it easy to add a bang to your look. This seller from Diamond Bar, California seems to be doing her own thing, setting an icy cool tone for everything that makes it into her store. Some of her vintage items also happen to be from big name designers, such as the high-waisted Dolce & Gabbana pants available right now. Auctions start at 9.99 and because of the up-and-coming status, you won’t have to compete in auction with a massive fan base… but I’m sure that won’t last too long.
