eBay and Etsy Picks of the Day

June 22, 2009 by WendyB

Remember that so-hot, blue-leopard Lanvin dress from this post? A gorgeous acquaintance of mine is selling the short version on eBay. Unworn, with the tag showing the original retail price of $2,960 still attached! Click this link to check it out. And, as always, I’m going to remind you that if you want to win something really special on eBay, you need to snipe. Click here to read my how-to-snipe post.

    That Lanvin dress is hot!!! Probably too “crazy” a print for dudeguy, but what the hell does he know?

    @ InnyVinny, ha! What timing, considering you were just mentioning prints. Don’t guys always like leopard though? It’s very femme fatale.

    OOh the short version is much more appealing to me.I wish I could bid on it but then I wouldnt be able to eat for a month and I love food.

    Also that vintage trench is AWESOME! It definitely makes a statement and thats the kind of style I would want to sport. \

    One day I am going to be able to buy one of your pieces Wendy, oh but which one!!??

    That blue animal print coat is fabulous. I love it, could not wear it, but hope someone else gets to wear it. I would look like a whale in a mammal’s skin. Sigh.
