There really is no all summing title for this one... Non OOTD, Tips, Happiness, Questions?

We are going to pretend that is me for today. Kay? Because I have been bed-ridden for the past three days due to illness. (And while I wish that after staying in bed for copious ( check out that word! ) amounts of time, My hair looked just as attractively mussed, my face as pleasantly flushed, and my attire just as adorable as that lovely picture...  welcome to reality flash. My hair does not look that good at all and I'm really wearing grey shorts and a my 8th grade maroon House t-shirt with King Alfred House emblazoned on the front. Not exactly a look out of a fashion magazine. So we are going to pretend, that right there is actually me. ) Bet you just didn't realize I actually stepped out of a Jessie Wilcox Smith illustration. See, you learn something new everyday. =)


O.k. Now back to what I was actually going to tell you. 

Ebay. is. Amazing. 

Just felt the urge to impress this wonderful fact to you. Maybe it has something to do with the two Anthropologie skirts, one vintage J. Crew skirt, and yet another Anthropologie dress I just won on there this weekend...  but who knows? 


I do however, feel very victorious at the moment. Especially considering :
A.  I won them all below original price value. Always a  bonus. 
And B.  On the J. Crew skirt I beat this one other bidder by a whopping two dollars. It was definitely a nail-biter. But I came out empowered. And I have a new skirt. I suppose just four new items isn't really enough to do an infamous "haul" video but I was just so darn excited I had to tell someone about it. 


~One of them is Cherry red with pleats! 
~And another looks 50s-ish. Its navy with a white anchor appliqué. Love! 
~And the other is pink floral with buttons down the side. I'm a sucker for buttons. Especially big ones. 
~Finally the dress is a navy shirt dress with a satin sash. Can't wait to see it in person.


I told you my whole closet was some form of blue and red. 


Anyways just in case you didn't know. Tons of people list well known brands like Anthropologie, J. Crew, Talbots, Boden, Modcloth, and others on ebay often for less than the original price. How they make money? I've no earthly idea. But I love it. So if you saw something really cute on Anthropologie and couldn't quite make the cut as far a pocket money. Check back on ebay  about three months later and odds are it could be there for a lesser price! :) 


There, thats my tip of the day. And now I have a question. Its vitally important. O.k. not really but here it is. What is your opinions of merchandise from Forever 21? That sounds like a silly question, but believe it or not I've never shopped there. Ever. (Giant gasps from the audience usually insert themselves here)  But I found a couple pairs of shoes that I really like and I wondered what the quality was? 
Pretty much ever other girl on the planet seems shops there so I figured someone here would know. Help? Thanks. Very very muchly. 


And Happy Tuesday!
