stb's ebay relay: vintage furs

So, I’ve been making fun of my aunt for weeks, because she’s been in these non-stop bidding wars for these various vintage winter swing coats.  And she’s become quite successful with her bidding.  I think she’s up to about 15 now.  And, don’t get me wrong- they’re all absolutely adorable, but we live in Dallas, Texas.  The high today is 75 and it’s Feb 18.  So, anyway, I’ve never really gotten the whole ebay concept.  I know it’s been around forever and it’s a giant success, but the thought of buying someone else’s used crap really didn’t appeal to me.  Welllllllll, it didn’t appeal to me until now.  I don’t want to admit to too much, but my aunt has me hooked and I may or may not have spent the last 24 hours in a few bidding wars of my own.  And, I’ve become obsessed with something even more impractical: vintage furs. #wishilivedinaspen

Willa’s Wares

There are very few gals I know that can keep up with my shopping stamina or my “passion for fashion”.  So, last year when I met the ever so stylish Willa Ford I knew we were a match made in couture paradise.  My clothing highs have never been so great, than when I’m sitting on the floor of her closet in a pile of newly purchased vintage sequin gowns and sky high designer stiletto pumps.  And even though she’s out in LA right now, we text daily about her latest shopping endeavors: a late night Shopbop bender, an unexpected Target run, an eBay bidding adventure turned fashion feat!  I just can’t get enough!  So, it got me thinking, why not take these fab finds and do a bigger show and tell with them!  Let’s take ‘em viral!  So, I decided to create a new post on STB called “Willa’s Wares”- showcasing her latest shopping escapades!  See here a new outfit perfect for easy breezy dinners out with friends in LA.
