Ebay Lust-haves (Designer Version)

by cecylia on August 20, 2009

 Everyone loves a bargain and hence Ebay is such a popular place to shop. You can find just about  anything your heart desires- designer wear is usually quite heavily reduced on the Internet and hence there are many stylish women sitting behind a computer, browsing through millions of gorgeous garments. However, if many fashionistas all have their hearts set on the item you want, then you have to bid even higher to get what your heart longs for. Sometimes, this is not practical…

Recently, I discovered some beautiful (and expensive) things on Ebay, however I could only look but not touch.

grey mint ferregamo

Every lady needs a pair of elegant and timeless heels from Salvatore Ferragamo. I already own a black patent pair. They are leather inside out and are so chic. I have baby-sat two puppies who shared similar taste in shoes as I and they managed to each chew the bows on my shoes. My Ferragamos are still wearable but they look grungy now…hence my gaze drifted to Ebay to replenish them. These minty flats are very cute, but I do not think they are genuine…

jimmy choo brown leather bag

Jimmy Choo is the ultimate accessories luxury brand. Everyone wants to own a pair to strut their stuff around in. I found a sweet Jimmy Choo bag on Ebay. This bi-zipped tote is quite wearble and the leather looks buttery-soft. The starting price was already sky-high though.

sergio rossi patent leather shoes

These shiny Sergio Rossi brogues are incredible! You could almost admire your reflection in them! I would wear them with skinny jeans and a boyfriend blazer. They are a fantastic shade and I love it how the laces are in the same colour- metallic peach =)

ysl bag

Now this YSL bag is to die for. It is from the current collection. It is modern version of the Hermes Birkin and in my favourite colour! This carry-all would be seen on the wrists of first-ladies as well as on women who like function and style. You can imagine how many bids this bag had…the winning bidder is certainly one lucky lady.

christian louboutin booties

I am sure that most Ebay-oholics have Christian Louboutinson their lust short-list, who does not love the red-lacquered soles! I saw these cute patent tuxedo style heels recently. Even though they are super hip ( love those tussle laces) and they seem to come in a genuine shoe bag and the box, I just do not trust Internet sellers sometimes… They just look a little too shiny and did you notice that the heels of these shoes are not shown? If they are genuine and I was the seller ( I would not be selling them), I would take photos of the soles!

I have been heavily influenced by the youngest and richest fashion blogger Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes. She owns 3 pairs of these Ann Demeulmeester lace boots- ion white, tan and black. I saw the black version on American Ebay. I was very tempted…however because I think it may be dangerous to purchase expensive shoes without trying them on first. I tried finding them in shops around Melbourne, but I had little success. They are a show piece and will forever be in my memory.
