How to shop EBAY auctions and score some incredible deals!

A lot of you have been asking me to write about this for some time now. So here we go! I will try to make this short and to the point. Most of you message me and asking me omg how did you buy those $1200 authentic Chanel shoes for $100??? Well here is how and it doesn't always work but beginners luck is definitely a thing.

Basically EBAY is a place where you can win some amazing auctions at very low prices. Most big EBAY stores/sellers will start their listings as low as 99 cents in the hopes that it will go up higher, but this is not always the case. A lot of the times new sellers attempt to do this as well and that is when you get super lucky! why? well because they don't know what they are doing and you get the chance to get lucky and score it for a low price. The whole thing is quite psychological if you think about it.

So here I will give you step by step of how I buy on auction and win Gucci shoes for $30 or even Chanel shoes for that same price. Of course most of the time they are second hand but who cares! No one actually wears their heels more than 3 times. Or so that's what I assume and of course you can always look at the photos of the listing and decide for yourself. Alright here we go.

1. You will need an EBAY account.
2. I always shop and search by brand and size.
3. Always select the lay out to be priced from low-high pricing and make sure you select auction style listings only.
4. Find what you like and click on the "watch this item" Icon.
5. Continue to watch it and set your reminder via Siri to check that auction 5 minutes before it ends.
6. Bid ONLY in the last 5-10 seconds. If you bid earlier you're only screwing yourself and losing the chance of the item selling for less $$. People forget this and thats how the seller gets lucky. But you as the buyer is what counts here.
7. Never overbid. What do I mean by this? Set a price in your mind for that particular item and never go over that amount. Example shoes are at $25 in the last 6 seconds and in my mind I'm not willing to pay more than 50. In that last 6 seconds I will bid $50 and if I win and don't get outbid than amazing and If I do well then it wasn't meant to be. onto the next one. I used to get upset when I lost auctions but not anymore! You have to take it with a grain of salt and keep it moving. it's a thing after all.

Good luck!! Feel free to drop me a comment or email me with your wins! Would love to see all of you saving some $ and buying some amazing designer goods as H&M prices :)

NYC Fashion > LA Fashion

As I recently took a short trip to NYC I of course observed all the fashion and the visual displays on Madison Ave, 5th Ave and more. NY is such a beautiful place to be and there is so much to see. I would walk at times on my own and just observe and take it all in, it was an amazing experience. NY remains to be my #1 place to live and be a part of . Its really the center of the universe with its diversity. Now onto the Fashion. As always I love designer resale stores. NYC happens to have some of the best ones. I went to my favorite again which is simply called "Designer Resale" also known as "The miracle on 81st  Street". Not only are things priced fairly but they have the best selection on the Upper East Side and in NY period. As I walked in I fell in love with a Chanel bag. Imagine, small elegant on a long chain and python. I asked the sales girl to let me see it. I thought to myself its probably over 2k but let me just see it ! To my surprise it was a fraction

Revelations .... written 11/15/11

Isn't it funny how most people prefer to read personal blogs and are more interested in the drama and the gossip than anything else? I was debating all day today whether I should write a personal blog about my feelings and or what I'm thinking as of today and decided to go for it. As in the past it might have hurt some people and or got me in some trouble. But this is purely about my thoughts. Recently I have experienced some lows in my life and I noticed that it happens through out life and you begin to grow and discover more about yourself every day of your life. Some people enter your life while others exit, some interests replace old ones, some feelings develop as others disappear, so on and so forth. At this point in my life I feel disconnected from a several people in my life. It can go both ways, It may be me and how I feel or it may be the other person depending on what your preferences are in different situations. One thing is for sure, you cant expect people to have t

just thoughts.... after being in a trap

Hi everyone this is my first blog, I haven't really wrote one in quite a long time. I'd like to express myself by revealing my feelings and thoughts from time to time. At this time I'm going thru what you can call a revelation. I've realized that the person I was dating on and off for 3 yrs now has turned out to be a complete stranger to me. I know him inside out probably better than he knows himself but I'd prefer for him to be a stranger from now on. Although we've lived together for about 2 yrs the whole relationship was pretty much on my shoulders because i was the head of the relationship unfortunately because I was blindly in love. But what can you say more than just shit happens and you have to live and learn and move on. It was almost like babysitting a child, he had no job was trying to do stuff with his life but it wasn't really working out, and i can admit that he was pretty much taking advantage of the situation, but because love is so blind i
