Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs & Diane von Furstenberg eBay Steals!

I've started to poke around eBay a bit both for a potential wedding dress and for a bridesmaids dress for my bestie's wedding in April. And HOLY HELL are there some designer steals and deals out there, assuming they're not fake of course.

($336, Zac Posen, eBay)

This listing's just for the skirt. Still a great deal. I'm not always a huge fan of brocade, but this whole look is so crisp and timeless. Too bad it's not an entire whole dress though. How great would it look with those Tuleste Market necklaces?

($149, Diane von Furstenberg, eBay)

Also just so elegant. A look you really can't mess up... unless you wear it with sneakers or something.

($139, Marc By Marc Jacobs, eBay)

This Marc jacquard dress would look HORBS on me but possible adorbs on YOU?

($239, Marc Jacobs, eBay)

... As always, check feedback and return policies stuff before you get all click happy.

Or, go with the known entity:

($39.50, Alloy)

Another great necklace to go with those Tuleste Market necklaces.

($39.50, Alloy)

These Alloy dresses, combined with the fact that Alloy's got free shipping (well, they charge like $1.95) until December 7th -- NO MINIMUM -- make me so FREAKING excited I practically wanna jump out a window like Kristin Wiig's Sue:

Richard Ruiz's Peacock Frock And Naomi Campbell In Feathery Zac Posen

I SWEAR TO ADONOI, this will TOTALLY be my last peacock post (at least for this week), but I had to throw in these two...

Naomi Campbell in this feathered Zac Posen dress, which was auctioned off to the tune of $50,000 at the Fashion For Relief Charity Auction last week:



Stunning.

And... not nearly as stunning but FAR more affordable: Richard Ruiz's sheath dress, which Lauren Conrad wore to the Nylon mag 90210 party:
Which is the SAME one that SHANNON DOHERTY (speak of the dee-veeyl) wore on Letterman, sparking a WHO WORE IT BETTER of the ages! To answer that question: I WOULD! Or you: Get it for $289 at Singer22.com.

Grammy Fashion Binge!

Hi 'Bingers! Both myself and MK were away, both at weddings (neither of which were ours, so reeeLAX!)

Anyway, a few Grammy abominations and atrocities:

Carrie Underwood is a gorgeous girl, but she looks soooo Stepford. Someone PLEASE condition her hair! Please! It's aging her. And this Zuhair Murad dress is gorgeous, but IMO, it just takes the floral fad WAY too far.

Much better interpretation of florals. Love Fergie's floral maxi dress. (Anyone know who did it?)

Speaking of hair don'ts -- Oy. Beyonce, girl. Fix. Your. Hair. This ice capades gown created some total weird-ass boob dysmorphia, and the hair looked SO frazzled.

It's wacker than hell, but I think it's actually fun and youthful. Way better than Beyonce's pageant hair. And speaking of pageants...

In her Sandy Spika silk gown, Taylor Swift channels Miss Teen Panhandle '94! Snooooooooooooooooooooooooooozola.

I expected more from Rihanna. Don't get me wrong, she almost always looks like a living doll, but in this blue Zac Posen piece? I dunno, dawg. Ques que ce "phoned in"?

Chris Brown matched the carpet and the nearest ice cream truck. WTF? He also inadvertently matched Miley Cyrus:

This girl freaks me out for many reasons, and this dress is no exception. (Another one being that her face is too big for her head).

Okay, bye!

Awesome Shit, Some On Sale

Two collections of gorgeous items. They're all lovely. They're just not all within my budget... Oh who am I kidding -- I can't stick to a budget.


STEAL IT

($865, Christian Louboutin, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Prettier than the prettiest princess in the pod. Sigh.

($578, Anna Sui, Madisonlosangeles.com)

Very cute. But maybe a little TOO early '60s??

($545, Thomas Wylde, Net-a-porter.com)

My favorite piece of the post.

($395, Michael Kors, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Nothing earth-shattering here, yet I just love it.

($350, Milly, Net-a-porter.com)

So elegant. So perfectly wintery. So want it.

($265, Jalda, Saks Fifth Avenue)
Luscious.

YOUR ACCOUNTANT LOVES YOU...

($496, Stella McCartney, Net-a-porter.com)

... Because you know a good deal when you see one. Plus, the layering practically means you get three tops for the price of one!

($339, Zac Posen, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Surely this is even cuter in person. And with some cute opaque tights and booties.

($312, Botkier, Ssense.com)

This is half beautiful, half looks like it came from within.

($258, DKNY)

If you can find a more versatile dress, lemme know.

($229, Ports 1961, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Gorgeous, eventhough this does sorta look like something you'd find at H&M.

($145, Mike & Chris, Rarechic.com)

Come and just TRY to tell me this dress isn't serious sexytime. And NOT just because this chick probably isn't wearing anything underneath. Ahh... just PERFECT for the office, no?

($97, Cass Guy, Rarechic.com)

How perfect would this look under a grey or navy cardigan?

($95, Plenty By Tracy Reese, Labelspree.com)

I know I've posted this before, but I rediscovered, and now it's even closer to cold weather time. Yay! Get it! (Whoops. My inner voice started typing).

($88, Dusty Of California, Bussstopshop.com)

Utterly adorable. I can't even deal with all of the what-to-wear-on-the-bottom options that this dress comes with.

($85, James Coviello, Saks Fifth Avenue)

Normally this sweater would NEVER be my thing, but it just has some sort of Natalie Portman je ne sais qoui. Although I'm fairly positive that simply wearing this sweater wouldn't magically give me an adorable pixie cut and perfectly placed mole. Though I didn't read "The Secret," and perhaps I should.

($75, Naughty Monkey, Redvelvetcouture.com)

This is a prime example of the type of thing I probably wouldn't dream of getting on my own, but then I'd stop by a friend's apartment on our way to go to the movies, and I'd just pop in to use her bathroom really quickly because it's on the way to the theater, and these would just be sitting on her living room floor next to the paper, and I'd see them and be like HOLY FUCK WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE? WHAT THE FUCK? THOSE ARE FUCKING AWESOME! And she'd blow it off because to her they're no big deal and totally her and we'd maybe be running late to the movie, but then all I'd be able to think about for like the next week would be those boots. And the movie would be totally ruined for me. That's how sick these boots are. At least to me.

($69, Dolce Vita, Shopbop.com)

Great, huh?

(Apprx $50 USD, Topshop.com)

These are so fun, but they'd be hard to wear without running the risk of some d-bag at work or something coming up to you and bein' like "So, you're bringin' the '80s back, eh, Material Girl?" or something completely lame like that, so it almost makes them not worth it...

(Apprx $30 USD, Topshop.com)

So you're probably best off going with something like this. Ugh. I hate d-bags.
