Lust List: Currently on the Hunt

7/18/2016

0 Comments

 
Happy Monday everyone! (sick joke, I know.)

So lately I've shared a few posts about the successes I've found shopping eBay (check out the post on my gorgeous "new" LV bag here!) It may be hard to tell, but finding these kinds of deals is a long process. I start with the initial step of scoping out what kind of quality I can get at different price points, and once I find a quality and price I am happy with, I start the bidding fun. It takes a lot of self control to stick to a budget, and not get swept up in the whirlwind of the bidding war! For those who may be to new to eBay, check out my blog post here about how to shop smart on the bidding site.

I currently have a few items on my lust list, and I decided to share those items, my budget, and my process with all of you!

1. Louboutin Heels // Budget: $100

The luxurious red bottoms! Louboutins are an iconic shoe brand, and I think the pop of color on the sole is super sexy for date night or going out. A pair of Louboutins retail STARTING at $600, and I've seen pairs priced up to 5 figures. (!!!) I'm looking for a classic, secondhand pair of pumps that I can wear with a variety of outfits, and have only moderate wear. I have found pairs in very good condition, with only light scratching to the platform of the red sole,  going for around $100-$200. I really like the former, and have this magic number in my head. I have come super close, and I'm hoping to hit the jackpot very soon!
2. Gucci duffle // Budget: $250

As I start to accumulate more and more stamps on my passport (yay!), I've become in total awe of people that can pack their entire getaway necessities in one easy carry-on duffle or rollerbag. In the long run, it saves you money in luggage fees, and you get to skip the total pain of baggage claim. (This always gives me panic sweat, I am so weak and practically get dragged around the belt as I attempt to haul my bag off!) While new Gucci duffles start at around $1800, beautiful vintage pieces are selling for under $500 on eBay. I wasn't sure if I could manage a duffle on my own while traveling, but the strap makes transport easy, and who knows, maybe I'll gain some upper body strength.
3. Prada sunglasses // Budget: $50

For the past few years, I have been totally faithful to my Rayban wayfarers and aviators. They are both classic, go with practically every outfit, and can literally survive anything (toilets, sidewalks, toddlers, you name it). I've been looking to add some variety to my eye game, and have been searching around for a few more iconic, fun new pieces. ( I recently just added a new family member to my sunglasses collection, that fancy find will be up later this week!) I love the bar over the nose and the round frames of these Prada glasses pictured above. I'm actually totally sick about it, because as I was searching around for price ideas on these glasses, I came across a pair very similar to the picture above, that ultimately sold for $40. Yes, that's right people, only 1 zero at the end! I didn't bid yet, because I was still not too sure about what kind of deals I could find. Fast forward a few weeks later, and I still have yet to come across a price anywhere near that! Fancy tip: If you find anything Prada for only double digits, BUY IT.

As I mentioned above, I'll be sharing a new fancy find later this week! Make sure to follow fancy free on facebook, IG, and twitter (links on the home page) to keep up to date on posts and for fun behind the scenes! :)
