Okay so this is my very first post. Milestone.
So first things first, ill explain what I'm all about.
Firstly – I am an internet shopping addict. Or – more accurately – I am an eBay addict. There, I have admitted it. It wasn’t so hard? My boyfriend would be so proud right now! ‘Then you should give it up’ he’d say. I’d say ‘Seriously, not going to happen’. I will never forget the day my mother introduced me to the most amazing thing in my life. I thought the whole thing was super daggy – but put in a bid on a pair of black flared billabong pants just in case. Unfortunately for me (or actually – considering they were BLACK FLARED BILLABONG PANTS fortunate is probably a better word) I was outbid at $15.66 with 20 seconds to go. That was my first taste of the internet shopping world – and I was hooked. Ten years (and 1244 positive feedbacks later) my eBay addiction and I are still going strong. My infatuation with eBay has become one of my most infamous traits – that and the size of my wardrobe. And with the introduction of the i-phone, it is right there whenever I need a fix. My eBay app politely sends me little reminders that something is ending, that a purchase has been posted (yippee – another delivery!) whilst collecting all the new items from all my saved sellers for my perusal so I don’t miss a thing. Genius.
Another life changing moment was my introduction to fashion blogs. This revelation came from a very like-minded friend who was amazed I hadn’t signed myself up for every RSS feed imaginable. So next day I was hooked up to them all – and have never looked back. Who what wear, lookbook, starstyleinc – I love. But what this opened me up to was a whole world of celebrity fashion – and I wanted in. Yes, I looked at all the 'celeb style' pages.. but Sportsgirl's polyester version of Winter Kate's silk kimono just didn't cut it. I wanted the real thing - but where could I get it, and, more importantly, how would I ever afford it?? One fateful day I stumbled across Nicole Richie wearing an amazing tie-dye halter maxi dress (okay so this was in THAT boho stage) and I HAD to have it. I was obsessed, and the search was on. It was like a treasure hunt – every clue got me closer and closer to the prize. I found out the designer – Love Tanjane. Plugging this into eBay – nothing. Plugging this into the web - found - love tanjane official website. Sold out - my dress. Plugging this into eBay worldwide – and BINGO. There is was – the EXACT love tanjane dress worn by Nicole Richie – buy it now $110USD. I hit that button quicker than you can say ‘express post’ – and within a week Nicole and I could be twins. Next obsession on the agenda - Olivia Palermo’s Kate Moss for Topshop fringed embroidered jacket – got it $140AUD ebay; then THE J-Brand Houlihan cargos as seen on everyone – got them $125USD Ebay, brand new. Trust me – the list goes on.
The proof is in the pudding:
WOOP.
So basically what I want to do here is enlighten the masses. The fashion you dream of is here at your fingertips. You CAN have Olivia’s EXACT wardrobe without spending a fortune. Forget cheap chain store copy-chic - its designer labels all the way baby! And that doesn't mean spending 12 hours straight searching the net for that elusive piece... leave the fun stuff to me! I can think of nothing better than spending all my free time trawling every online shopping site for the item of your desire (NOT sarcasm I promise!). All you need to do is click on the ‘specification form’ above.. fill in all the required deets and then sit back. Relax – that’s your part done! Check your email in oh about a week and there will be a gorgeous product package waiting for you – providing you with all the info you need to make your dream purchase. Ready?
DO IT! You know you want it!

OH and ill also be blogging about the searches I'm undertaking – totally anonymous of course – as well as amazing finds that I see in my online travels that SOMEONE (and not me L - well maybe some things – ill be posting about those too!) just has to buy! There are such amazing bargains out there just waiting for someone to snap them up.. I just cannot let them go to waste and need to share them with all of you! So bookmark me and keep coming back for more xx
