A few days ago she emailed me boasting that she just won this gorgeous Blumarine skirt for just $20 dollars. A-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ZING. This is exactly the type of thing that really gets me going! Blumarine skirts are normally $200 and up. I’m sure this skirt is even more beautiful in person, so congrats Courtney!

Be sure to check out Courtney’s blog, Wilmington Fashion Report, because it’s filed with cool, boutique-y designer stuff!

The Watchlist: Something Shiny

August 12, 2009 · 4 Comments

Metallics, satin, and anything with a little sheen caught my eye this week. And I’m drawn to a blank as to how some of these items are still at attainable prices in these auctions, but since they are, here you go:

Two pairs of this sexy Gucci shoe, in pale pink and green, are currently at $62 and $81 respectively. I remember drooling over this shoe when I first saw it some time ago.. it was on a number of celebrities. I don’t care who you are, if you’re wearing this shoe, you’re instantly sex-ified. Less than a day left for both of them!

You can’t go wrong with a 9-piece set of Chanel polishes right? And a Chanel makeup pouch… this would be the best gift ever, for yourself or anyone else. It’s currently only $35 with less than a day remaining! Get it!

Picture 12

Herve Leger Silver Sequin Slit Dress. Currently $241 with less than 21 hours left.

Picture 9

Tory Burch Studded Cuff, $21.50 with about 2 days left.

Picture 13

I’m impressed the hotness of this Just Cavalli skirt. $95 with 3 days left.

Picture 14

This orange Versace Pyramid Chainlink bag done in satin is like orange soda upgraded. And it’s not far from the price of few 6-packs at $17.50 with 3 days to go.

Darn! Just Missed It: A Tory Burch Necklace, Chanel Blouse, & A Prada Skirt

August 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I am a turquoise addict. I have been stalking big turquoise jewelry for months now. I really prefer turquoise and gold rather than the stone with silver, and that combination is less popular. So, when this out-of-control Tory Burch necklace popped up, I had “decided” it was mine. Tory Burch stuff is normally always pricey and on eBay, bids on her stuff are pretty competitive. I wasn’t worried at all, because knew I was “ready” for this one…. until I overslept in a nap one evening and totally missed the auction. Yeah. Awesome. The necklace sold for $117, and yeah it’s not cheap but it’s also not anywhere near the orignal retail price. It was higher than I wanted to pay for it anyway though, so I guess that’s how the universe works.

Picture 10

This Chanel blouse was calling my name because, other than the fact that it’s a great top, I just knew that a lot of people weren’t going to find the auction because the starting bid price was set at $75. And that’s exactly where it sold. If this item had begun at a lower price, more people would have found it, and it would have sold for perhaps twice as much. But no, somebody scooped up this Chanel blouse for the cost of a jacket at H&M. Major eBay victory high-five to whoever that was!

Picture 11

Picture 12

This Prada pencil skirt auction is still blowing my mind. It sold for $24.50. ARE YOU HEARING THAT? $24.50. No strings attached- in great condition, from a highly rated seller, for the price of dinner at a restaurant. The deal is so ridiculous, it almost needs a moment of silence.

Ebay Score!!!! I just landed a Brand New Cole Haan Bag for $17!!!!!!!!

August 10, 2009 · 6 Comments

$17.  YES.   YES.   YES.

This Cole Haan suede mini flap bag originally retailed for $225. There are select colors available (here) on the Cole Haan website now at the reduced price of $157.95. But I got this bag for a cheap-tastic $17, BRAND NEW WITH THE TAGS STILL ATTACHED. VICTORY!!!!!! I’m making an effort to get ready for the fall season a little early this year, and this little bargain triumph lets me know I’m planning it right!

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.

The Best of “Buy-It-Now”: Under $100

April 29, 2009 · 2 Comments

Don’t forget to check out the “buy it now” items in your favorite eBay store. Usually these are great items that are reasonably priced, but you have more time to think about purchasing them compared to items in auctions. Most auctioned items are available for 7 to 9 days, and often experience stiff competition. Buy-it-now items last for up to 30 days, and endure much less competition, because they are not made visible in auction listings! Most of you favorite eBay stores offer buy-it-now items that you might not find if you don’t know to look, so don’t miss out!

Marc Jacobs Top. $89.99.

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!

g2sm63ee3caf-e2ec-45bf-b3a7-3131a8fa9e91-34169
