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. But as you might imagine, when it gets closer to the holidays, tons of people will be bidding on eBay driving the prices way up. So shop now! Here’s more stuff I wish I were buying:

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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…

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:
Here’s a taste of some the cool stuff they set up:
Let me not forget to add photos of my prized takeaways- the gift bag, gift card, and key ring! : )

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.
Catherine Malandrino tube top sold for just $31.
This Dolce Vita dress retailed for $248, sold on eBay for $9.99. I should have been on this auction. It pays to look for designer lines that not everyone searches for.
Ralph Lauren dress retailed for $1500, but sold for $113.50.
Akris Jacket. Sold for $265, too stunning to not post.
Carolina Herrera skirt went for $123.
Tory Burch top sold at $107.
Vintage lace blazer sold at 37.50.
Chloe top sold for $102.50.
These unique Azzedine Alaia shoes sold for just $79!
The only reason I can understand how this Ralph Lauren leather jacket sold for $98 is that most of the country is sensing the spring/summer weather on the rise.
This fantastic Wunderkind skirt suit sold for just $102.50.
Zac Posen dress sold for $152.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Kooba hanbag sell for under $100. This one sold for $68.
Jimmy Choo Sandals sold for $110. I am still drooling over these.
This Marni sandals sold for $162
This outrageously sexy Gucci jacket retailed for $1369 and sold for $292. Yeah, still pricey, but too pretty not to post.
I’ve been wanting a yellow and white print skirt for a long time. This Prada skirt sold for $102.50.

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!
I aspire to one day have a dress by Leonard of Paris. These sold for $224 and $450 respectively.
Chloe Top. Ended at $157.
One of the best cardigans ever, from Moschino. Sold at just $37. I should’ve been on this one!
Ah yes, Milly. I love Milly. This top sold for $65. I wanted it.
80’s Beaded Scarf-Neck Dress. (Yes it is all one piece, she just added a belt).
Fendi Dress. I can only imagine the astronomical retail price for this, but the eBay auction ende at $118.
I wanted this Elie Tahari vest. It ended for $56.
Among the best vintage tie-dye dresses I’ve seen, this one with unique beading at the straps ended at $87.
I guess I can’t be surprised many other people notice the undeniable perfect of this vintage Trifari pearl and turquoise necklace. It ended at $101, much higher than I anticipated.
I’ve been hoping to grab something from Haute Hippie for a while. This studded pink dress went out of budget anyway at $132.
Rachel Roy Dress. Originally $675, sold for $108.
Rick Owens Jacket. This ended at $356. Yeah, everything Rick Owens ends steep, but it’s too cool not to post.
There are a million rompers on eBay, but no others quite like this, which ended at $56.
Jean Paul Gaultier Sweater, made cooler with an open back. Ended at $43.
Malo Scarf. $98. So special…
I fantasized about what furniture to put these Anthropologie drawer pulls on, but they ended for $56, close to what to seller originally paid for the set of 8. Hopefully I will come across some more glass-beaded home accessories again.
I couldn’t believe these Prada shoes ended at $32!
Giorgio Armani Pink Alpaca Coat. Sold for $101. Nice.

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:

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!
