OOTWW

Before I get started with the fashion friday (delayed by a day) post, I wanted to thank you all. I really appreciate every single comment I received yesterday from this post. I truly do appreciate it.

I’m thinking of stealing all of Jess’ clothes and making them my own. I met Jess at the blogger meetup in Toronto a few weekends ago, and she’s been posting similar posts to mine on Friday’s. Except I like her diversity into color, than me. So I think we’re going to have to plan a shopping trip together, to Forever 21 soon. So she can style me. Check out her Fashion Friday post here.

Note to self, branch out and wear more color (like Jess) haha.

It’s not all rosy over here

I’ve had a few people e-mail me lately, concerned about the honesty of my reviews that I do on the blog. I too have noticed that most of my reviews come off as rosy and absolutely nothing bad to say about the product I received or purchased myself. This is mainly because I do really love all the products that I pay for myself, or get sent for free. Some of the products that I receive don’t make it on the blog, because I quite frankly don’t have anything good to say about them. Thus not wanting to bash the company and say only things I disliked about it. Get where I’m coming from?

I want people to be able to relate to me, and trust what I say. Whether the reviews be positive or negative. I have made a change in pace when it comes to reviewing products now. For instance, I reviewed the Cheverolet Cruze and pointed out some things I enjoyed about the car and some things that I would like to see changed in future models.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to change my writing style completely since I’m not a negative type of person. I don’t want to be a complainer on my blog, but I think I’m going to switch things up a bit where I list both the pros and cons of something if I’m reviewing it. Whether it be free to review, or purchased myself.

It really struck me when I had a friend say she wasn’t sure if I really liked a product I bought myself (my favorite hair brushes) or if it was just because I wanted to give it a positive review.

Not that the cons would be complaining but I really don’t like to talk negatively about anything in life. So even though I’m completely honest in ALL of my reviews, I’ll try my best more to elaborate on some of the things I would like changed, or things I disliked about the product.

I appreciate you all sticking around with me and reading my blog!

Psst, come back later tonight to see my outfit of the work week.

Ebay finds

I can’t stand bidding on eBay. I’ve had a few things outbid on me seconds before the item expired. It’s almost stressful! That’s why I’m more of a fan of ebay sellers who list “buy it now” or “best offer” on their ebay site.

I don’t know what possessed me to look on ebay for clothes, but I think it may have had something to do with Laura’s blog post (Buy Now Blog Later) about this scarf that she purchased on Ebay. As soon as I saw it on her blog I clicked the ebay link and from there all hell broke loose. So far I’ve contained myself to four purchases. {1} {2} {3} {4}

So with regards to that, I’ve decided to compile a list of ebay sellers and items in particular I’m eying. Why does everything look great on the models? They’re so convincing!

Above is joojoocomco2010‘s ebay listings. {1} {2} {3} {4}

This ebay seller is probably my favorite: ccclothcc‘s ebay {1} {2} {3} {4}. I wanted to show you many more than four outfits. But then the post would be overwhelming. The prices are really low, compared to the one listed above. I also like a lot more pieces from her Ebay store than any others.

Above: auysfdesign‘s ebay. {1} {2} {3} {4}

Above: evajuni‘s ebay. {1} {2} {3} {4}. Who doesn’t want to accessorize their outfits with a little purse love? These one’s are mostly Balenciaga knock off’s.

What do you think? Did I convince you to start shopping on Ebay?
