Can Can

by cecylia on May 16, 2012

On the 2nd day of MBAFW, I rolled out of bed, into this ensemble, to meet 2 awesome ladies for a Parisien breakfast. The perfect milieu for a pre-show gastronome. I confessed to Megan, the Communications Manager of eBay, svelte, of Amazonian proportions, how much of an eBay-oholic I used to be. Maybe I should start an eBay-oholic Anonymous, there’d be a need for that, surely. And I also revealed my envy for Prue’s curly-wurly Prada sunnies, courtesy from her good friend Helen, Sassy Bella. A very good friend, I’d say.

You may have seen this necklace on my Instagram feed, a DIY project that is so simple I’m sure you have already worked it out and made your own by the end of this sentence. The vintage clutch was a spoil from eBay. Although small, it is mighty. With 4 separate pockets, it contained my entire life. And the skirt? You would have seen me sport it here, also with a dress. I don’t do fashion week without the assistance of pink.

Excuse me whilst I strike a Angelina Jolie. I was interviewed by another lady in pink who represented Fashion One but haven’t seen the footage…if you see me in a video speaking nonsensically, PLEASE let me know. I can only recall telling her that comfort is the key ingredient in my ensembles. I like to be able to jump, run and dance in it. And maybe even do the can can.

Where: Sydney Circular Quay

Wear: Vintage shades, DIY necklace, Claude Maus knit-dress, Arnsdorf skirt, Ghost & Lola bracelet, vintage watch, Zara bag, Lanvin shoes, vintage clutch from eBay!

What are you favourite spoils from eBay?
