Another rare moment- a  very girly skirt that I like. This Yoana Baraschi skirt was $279, now $69 with no bidders. If nobody scoops this up, I’m keeping my eye on this one for a lower price next week.

Finally! I got this Milly top on eBay!

June 15, 2009 · 7 Comments

Okay… I’ve been wanting this top FOREVER. It’s been at least a year that I’ve been waiting to get this… seriously. Every few months I see one of these Milly tops pop on eBay, but it’s always either too pricey or not in my size. Milly also made a few dresses in the print which also periodically showed up on eBay in a size/price combination I couldn’t work with. I couldn’t hold out any longer when this top finally showed up in my size, in auction, with no reserve price! I won it for $86. I would have liked it to be a little less, but for something that otherwise would have been about $250, I can’t complain. Plus, all the waiting I’ve done for this makes it all worth it anyway. I’m going to make excuses to go out everywhere just to parade around in my new top!

The Watchlist: Liven It Up

June 13, 2009 · 3 Comments

It was rainy and dark most of the week here in NYC. When I woke up this morning the sun was out and I got excited. Then 10 minutes later is was totally cloudy. Now it’s raining again. For that reason, I’m posting only the most “energizing” eBay finds to counter act the blah-ness of the rain.

These do all the talking for you. It can’t possibly be rainy when these are on! Maison Martin Margiela boots, $56.69, ending today.

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…

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.

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!

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!

Solid Deal: Opening Ceremony Sandals

April 8, 2009 · 1 Comment

Just in time for summer I spotted these Opening Ceremony sandals on eBay. Each of them retails for about $300, but you can get them right now on eBay for about $50. Shopbop.com is currently carrying other Opening Ceremony styles at up to $460! I’m having a hard time resisting this major eBay bargain, as I am in the market right now for new sandals. These are all so modern, unique, and trendy while also being extremely versatile. This is a win-win situation! Click pics to link to auction, they all end in 1-2 days.

(Extremely) Fab Ebay Store: Kuku Vintage

February 8, 2009 · 15 Comments

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:

My Recent Wardrobe Additions… and Omissions

February 4, 2009 · 8 Comments

Let’s start out with what I got on eBay. Okay, eBay was slower in January than I anticipated, but there was still a huge pile of stuff I wish I could have purchased. I had to keep it simple. Out of everything I saw, I was very fortunate to narrow it down to this Reiss blazer which I won on eBay for just $27! I literally just spotted this blazer in the UK edition of Marie Claire and it retailed for about $450. I gasped when I saw it because I think it’s the hottest thing ever. Then it magically showed up on eBay, for cheap. Magic? Fate? Well, at the very least it’s very, very good luck.

5b23_12

I recently got extremely lucky and was able to pick up some items that had been on my wishlist for MONTHS. First of all, living in Miami means I normally can’t spend much on winter staples, but a few interviews in the northeast gave me plenty of excuse to run out and buy a coat. Unfortunately, I found myself unimpressed with the styles and even the post-holiday prices on coats in the Miami area, and I was in a time crunch to get a coat with interviews coming up so soon. In an amazing stroke of luck, my sister decided to send me a Nordtroms gift card to “celebrate the new year”, and Nordstroms.com happened to have the coat of my dreams on sale- this Soia & Kyo Joana coat. I managed to squeeze in some classic BCBG pumps on the gift card too! Obviously my sister is an awesome gift-giver.

Forever21.com  is a site I check pretty frequently, but for what seems like more than a year, I haven’t really loved many of their items. I was very pleasantly surprised when this hot bustier top showed up at just $12.80, and I immediately knew I had to have it. Plus the straps are removable. With a price this cheap, it was impossible not to buy it! It looks so hot with blazers and cardigans that I wish it came in every color.

56540968-01

I saw this Pour La Victoire shoe in several magazines many months ago and have wanted it ever since, but it was priced too high for my budget. After the holidays, Endless.com had the shoe on sale. I let just a few days go by as I considered if I should buy it at the new lower price, but by the time I was ready, it had sold out in my size in every color. It had almost sold out in all sizes actually. In a moment of what I call retail fate, I went to Zappos.com and found THE LAST PAIR IN SIZE 8 in the color I wanted, red, also on sale, and felt like I had just won lottery. This shoe is so amazing- I don’t know where to begin- the color combination, the gold zipper… the fact that it’s so comfortable- all amazing. This shoe definitely made me feel like 2009 was off to a great start. Zappos is out of most average sizes in this shoe, but if you love this shoe too, you might be able to find some still available on Amazon.com for just $59 including shipping!

8521-679719-d

So, the economy is a mess. Can’t buy everything. I saved up for some shopping, but even with the sales and the gift card hookup from my sister, I gotta hold off for a while. This is what else I may have gotten if it weren’t for the “tough times” and my “recent grad money issues” going on right now.

Marc Jacobs Coat. Still has the retail tag attached with the $1500 price! This just sold for $53 plus $15 shipping for a total of $68! OUTRAGEOUS BARGAIN. I wanted it so bad because I love this amazing color combination and I doubt this will pop up on eBay again… sigh*

9df8_1-1

Marni Sandals. $65. Seriously… these went for $65. sigh again*

cimg9597

Tibi Dress with Leather Belt. This went for about $50. I love it, but I just don’t need this sort of thing right now. Besides, I love my new shoes more anyway! (That’s how I help my self get over it lol)

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!
