I've recently started to sell on eBay. It's currently a small collection of mid to high end items from my closet or that I have found while thrifting. Everything is in very good to like new condition at great prices.
While I have been working on this "shop" I have seen a lot of amazing deals. As many of you know I'm really into fashion and I'm a sucker for a deal on high fashion item. My personal shopping philosophy is to buy what you can afford. While right now I may not be able to afford to buy designer I can buy designer on eBay. I think mixing well made, high-end items and one of a kind vintage statement pieces creates a dynamic wardrobe.
It's a lot like the thrift store in that you never know what you're going to find but, better because it involves a search engine instead of looking through endless racks. Also, if you know what you want you can favorite a search set up so that if that item gets listed you're notified.
I favorite searches for designers and things that I like and check my feed often. Since, I'm already on eBay looking at pricing and researching the market I have started to really add to my "Collections". "Collections" is where you save and organize eBay listings that you like. I've started with just a few categories but, my lists grow by the day. Some of the items you'll see the most in my Collections are designer shoes (especial Prada), designer clothes, designer accessories (especially purses), J. Crew (one of my favorite retailers) and, great vintage finds.
Check out my profile here. I would love to share, so follow so you don't miss any of the great things at great prices!
Have an amazing day!
Best,

Getting Real with our Closets
Sometimes we have to "get real" with our closets. I'm not just talking to the ladies out there, gentlemen. Everyone, once a season needs to go through their stuff and look at what you're working with. The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and I'm changing over to sandals. I drag out the "boot wearing season" every year because they're one of my favorite things. However, the time has come to say fair well to those gold studded ankle booties, those Ralph Lauren ridding boots, and those new brown lace-ups.
Okay, now down to the dirty stuff. I can't allow myself to fall into my Grandmother's path of being a semi-hoarder. I try and always keep what works and put the rest back out into the universe. So, in times of wardrobe transition I take a hard look at the things that I'm transitioning in and store the things that I'm taking out. This way I can evaluate if an item works in my current closet. Also, going through only half of your stuff is a little less daunting.
Most importantly, I keep it real. Do I wear it, does it fit, do I love it, and does it work with what I currently have. Yes, I know we have heard it all before but, you must above all be firm and strict with these answers. Don't dream up "events" that will suddenly make this shift dress relevant. Just face the fact that it's kind of itchy.
Lastly, feel good about putting your things back out there. Don't dwell on the lose. Think of the person who will end up with your Ninja Turtle shirt from 10th grade. It will get to live a new life with someone who loves it. I know I'm sounding a bit dramatic but, if you didn't have feelings for the item then it would have already left your life.
Well, Happy Spring (and spring cleaning)! I hope this blog was the kick in the pants to some of you needed.

I love shoes.
I quote I read went something like: A girl will never say she has too many shoes.
This truth is near and dear to my heart. I love shoes. I just love them.
So, I made a slideshow of some mine that I love the most. The song that accompanies it is "So Insane" by Discovery.
