The gold belt trend has been quite prominent,

((Not sure whether the proper name is Gold Metal Belt or Gold Mirror Belt))

Its a simple yet very chic accessory to add to your closet, and I found it for just under 6 bucks on Ebay!

Here is a link, or simply search “Gold Metal Belt” on ebay, under Women’s clothing and accessories and you should find them for similar prices.  Most of the sellers have three sizes, I’m thinking about getting the B size, at 3.2 cm.

Here is some inspiration on how to style your gold metal belt

This summer I will be going to Barcelona (so excited!) and I plan to spend a lot of time on the beach, so I have been on the search for the perfect bikini.  I also, of course, wanted to keep the price low, and find something really chic.
I recommend searching on:
Ebay.com (Lots of great deal, huge selection)
Polyvore.com (Search items option in top right)
Forever21.com (They have some cute ones)
Asos.com (They have good sales, but expect about $30 for a bikini top; buy cheap bottoms at a local walmart or target) If you are a student, you can sign up to get a 10% discount from your purchases, you can join on the unidays section of the site or through my referral http://www.myunidays.com/r/BJukpbPB0sM/ 

 

Below I will be including some of my favorite finds.  But first, here is the bikini I chose from Asos.com

These gorgeous cases are by Csera on Etsy

Very unique and chic!

 

baroque iphone case

electroplating 1

I love baroque, rococo, vintage, etc.  So I needed a gorgeous and unique case like the one above in gold.  I found this on ebay for only $1.79 including shipping! What an amazing deal, just hoping it lasts.  It’s being shipped to me from Hong Kong, and should be arriving to my house in a couple of weeks.  I have previously bought cases around the same price from China and they have lasted me a while.  I found this case from the seller bessky_star

Here’s a link to the multiple colors auction
Find this case for other phones with the search terms “electroplating hollow pattern” on ebay

 

 

leg2

Now that winter is starting to come to an end, i’ve noticed lower prices on leggings on eBay.  These knit snowflake design leggings are only $4.59 with free shipping from the seller Ashopone.  Be aware they are from China, so it might take a couple of weeks to reveive them.

These are super cheap, and definitely look comfy

 

leg1

Galaxy leggings were a big trend for the fall and winter of 2012 season.  The price for them on ebay was always closer to $20 than $10.  I found these galaxy leggings for $13.99 – $14.99 on ebay with free shipping.  This item is also from China, so keep in mind it may take a while to receive.  They are from the ebay seller 2010mary6668.

 

 

skeleton hand ear cuffA couple of months late, but I still think it is cool.

A skeleton hand ear cuff, only $2.99 on Ebay

 

I purchased this item around Halloween time.

I love the look of ear cuffs, but they always hurt a bit after a while.  I’m also always scared that they are going to fall off.  Luckily i haven’t managed to loose this one yet :)
It has been a while since my last post, but I am finally on holiday for a couple of weeks, more blog posts to come soon!

After seeing Lookbooker’s like Jennifer Grace with chic mid-thigh stockings, I wanted to search for a cheap pair of my own

Style them either over nylons or by themselves

I found pairs in multiple colors on Ebay with free shipping, with prices ranging between $2 and $3

From Ashopone $2.35

From niceinthebox $3.22

 

Chic & cheap Ebay finds <3

During the Spring 2013 Rodarte Runway show, we got to see the models styled with dragon ear cuffs:

   

On ebay, you can buy your own dragon ear cuffs for only a couple of bucks! (including shipping)

$2.25

$2.00

$1.99

Add dragon ear cuffs to go along with the leather trend for fall, for that even more edgy look.

 

New category! Chic Ebay Finds, thought of this last night when I purchased chic fashion metal ankle cuffs for only $5

Plus I do often search Ebay for fashionable items at low prices, so I will be sharing my finds on here now :)

Here are the lovely metal ankle cuffs that I purchased last night:

I found them by searching ebay for “Metal Ankle Cuff”, currently there are a lot of listings for it,

Here’s a direct link to the listing I bought it from: mingxuejun

Make sure to order a pair, there are sellers who are listing pictures with two ankle cuffs but are selling them individually

Other colors are being offered too, including silver and gunmetal black.

Be aware that many of the sellers are from China, so expect a month from your purchase until delivery time.

 

I love these ankle cuffs! They are a super cute, chic accessory

Add them to an outfit with pointy-toed heels, pants/leggings, or flats

Can’t wait to receive them mid-October, and style them with my Fall outfits!
