Internet Finds


Behold, my latest shoe buy over at ebay. I find myself ever more impressed by what you can buy nowadays on the internet. Recently I bought a pair of sandals and had them delivered to my parent's house in time for my mom's birthday. In that same week, I bought my father's birthday present and also had it shipped to their house. Honestly, although I'm late to the ebay bandwagon party, I am definitely making up for lost time. In the past month that I've been a member, I've won and lost more auctions than I can count. What do I have to show for all of these hours I've wasted scrolling through lists of products? Clothes, presents, and finally a pair of cute flats that I will treasure.

Making an ebay account may have been one of the best decisions I've ever made, but I have to warn all readers that creating your own account (if you haven't already) may lead to an addiction. However bad my addiction may be at this point (I check hourly), I have absolutely no intention of letting up. Especially now that I've bid on a pair of beautiful red pumps. If I win them, I'll be sure to post a picture on here.

For those of you who already have an ebay account, but refuse to buy used apparel, I urge you to reconsider. The worst defect I've found with the clothes I've bought have been a few water stains from being in storage, but they are all fixable. Needless to say, you really have to be careful when you buy stuff off the internet. Make sure you know your measurements, first of all, as you want the clothing you buy to actually fit. Next, make sure you take a closer look at the shipping costs! It's such a disappointment finding a product that you really want, but then seeing that the price doubles once you add shipping costs.

My apologies for these extremely spread out posts. Once summer gets here, and school lets out, I plan on setting up a schedule for my posts. I plan on having a set time to find some collections to review, write the actual review, and have some time to edit.

Until next time.
