Ebay ♥ Brights

It's spring and I want to look like I could belong in one of Carmen Miranda's hats!

I like blacks and neutrals even though if you were to look in my closet, you would see a cornucopia of electric hues and crazy-ass prints. I stick to a simple colour palette but I just love colour and collecting pretty clothes and Ebay is a mecca for colour. Seriously, I love how I can type so many permutations of one colour and get so many results.

Take pink, for instance. You know how when you go into a store and you're looking for something specific but whatever you find just isn't quite the exact colour you want? When I do a pink search on Ebay, I usually do pink, coral pink, salmon, blush, fuchsia pink, neon pink, bright pink, rose pink and dusty rose. That way, no matter how specific my colour is, I'm sure to pass something that suits my meticulous pink needs.

Anyway, here are a bunch of cool bright-coloured items I've stumbled upon over the past few weeks, some of which are still up for auction.

Ebay ♥ Gypsy Kimono

One of the trends I've been noticing on vintage Ebay vendors' sites are silk, burn-out velvet gypsy kimonos. I don't know where this started but I'm in love with these bohemian style kimonos and wraps. They're casual enough to wear over a tee and jeans but because of the detailing of the burn-out velvet and the beading, they're very dressy and fancy and can be worn with solid-coloured dresses.

Unfortunately, when the majority of these auctions were listed, I had no way of saving the photos and posting them up so they've all been sold but there are still some available. I just wanted you to see the wonders of these things and also get you familiarized with the going-rate (they don't come cheap!_

Check these out and tell me they're not gorgeous!

And if you're looking for a more cost-friendly way to get the same look, try looking up scarves or table coverings. I found this shawl/table covering from ranch-man and although it's not the exact same style as the vintage apparel, it still has the lovely peacock design that is so quintessential to the gypsy kimono. And this only went for $41.65!!!!

These are truly sensational pieces to have in any wardrobe and I'm sure they'll turn heads. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Ebay ♥ Jewellery: Cuffs

I like my jewellery like I like my paper weights: heavy. The chunkier, the better. I really can't stand pendant necklaces, itty-bitty charm bracelets or anything that needs a magnifying glass to be seen. I also am not a fan of modern jewellery and how even their larger statement pieces are made with cheap and light flimsy materials, so I do a lot of my jewellery buying at antique shops or estate sales.

Recently I've been getting back into giant cuffs. My favourite vintage snake cuff is losing some of its stones so I'm trying not to wear it out as much but I recently got this Club Monaco fish-scale cuff for a HUGE bargain and wear it all the time.

I've also found a lot of cool cuffs on Ebay and wanna share them with you. Unfortunately, since I stumbled upon all these auctions when my computer was unusable, the auctions are all over but I still wanna show you the selection of stuff that's out there.
