eBay Wishlist #1 - Bags!

At present I have around 160 items being watched on eBay. I say "around" as there are more on my wish list that eBay wouldn't let me watch (the first sign you are addicted to eBay). 

The majority of these are items I've found via VIPXO's regular eBay hunts. She is like the eBay guru! Not only does she do weekly eBay posts featuring designer inspired items, there will often be several posts each day on her tumblr with links to items people have asked her to find.

Although I personally am extremely grateful to her for doing this - my bank balance is not. And eBay is obviously starting to get mad at me for watching so many things! 

I thought I would do a mini series of posts featuring items that are on my wish list, probably split up by type! This week will be bags (as the title of the post suggests!). 


The first bag is this fox face bag. I actually already own this bag but it's still on my watch list for some reason. I absolutely adore this bag and it's an absolute bargain! 

Next is this gorgeous clutch bag
I love the detailing on the knuckle duster handle and think it's a really good way of holding the bag. Bag and ring in one! It also comes with a strap although I am dubious as to how long that would actually be.

This tote bag I think is supposed to be a designer inspired bag but I haven't a clue which designer bag it is! Either way, it's a simple and cute tote bag that looks as though, size wise, it would be perfect for those of us that like to carry a lot of stuff around. 

This next bag I believe is meant to look similar to a longchamps bag but I could be mistaken. 
I'm still deciding what colour to get it in, although the one pictured is winning so far. 

This bag is a replica of a bag a lot of celebrities seem to have had in the past - as is pictured on the eBay listing. I love the studded detailing on the bottom and think that not only is fashionable, but highly practical! A little extra reinforcement to the bottom of the bag whilst protecting it from surfaces should you have to place it down anywhere.


This bag is a Celine 'inspired' (aka blatant copy) bag. I love how cute the face detailing looks. Although this listing only seems to have quite garish colours, you could probably find some plainer ones elsewhere on eBay.
I do quite like the one picture, with the red face, but when I eventually get it I'll probably go for a plain black one. I'm not one for coloured bags really! 


So that's it for the first post! Not too sure when the next one will be up/what it will feature but I still have plenty of items to share with the world! 

I'd love to know if any of you have any of these bags and what they're like so feel free to leave a link in the comments :-) Also if you have any questions about eBay I'm happy to answer any. I'm constantly on it either buying or selling so I can more than likely help you out!

What do I need in my life?!


I am looking for all of your recommendations!

What make-up, nail, skin, hair, whatever products do I NEED in my life?

I'm looking for new products to try out as I haven't bought anything like this for a while now and I've probably missed out on some really amazing things.

So comment below with your recommendations please :)

Sunday Summary #1

This week has been super hectic! As has the last few months really. I honestly don't know where my life has gone just lately. Everything is flying by. It feels like only yesterday I was starting this semester at university and now I only have 18 days until I finish! Crazy.

I am super excited to finish university. I know that probably seems quite strange to a lot of people - why would I not want to hold onto my youth?! 

But honestly, I'm at that point where I'm really bored of writing essays and spending all my time reading articles that are way beyond my intelligence. Although I have enjoyed being at uni and I am grateful for the opportunity to gain a degree, I really have not enjoyed this last year. And I really don't think my degree will be entirely useful to me in life any more, as finance is no longer a world I aspire to be a part of.

However, I do know I need to pay off this bad boy:


£18,776.03 worth of student loan debt - yikes! A part of me deeply regrets going onto this website but curiosity got the better of me! 

Most of my free time this week has been spent planning my move into my little flat at the end of this month. I have endless lists of things I still need to buy, things I need to do and my budgeting for the next few months. Argh - so stressful! 


I obviously, being the intelligent shopper that I am (...yeah right...), went for the most practical items first and purchased these cushions for my living room. Going for a light green sort of colour theme as the room is mostly cream with a white suite/carpet. I will probably do a little flat tour post once I am in and unpacked etc. 

I also babysat last weekend and found this cute little letter from my sister to my parents:

"To mum and dad. I am so sorry for knocking the cup. To say how sorry I am tomorrow I will do as your say and manage not to break anything. Sorry so much, katie"

She is 7 years old (8 this year) and is hilarious. She is possibly the cutest person I know! 

Anyway, I suppose I best get back to writing essays! Le sigh... 

I hope you all have had a fab week :-)
