Go Shoppish and Save
With the ridiculous prices charged for designer goods is it really any wonder that the newspapers have been full of Primark lately. Of course Primark are the most popular high street store. You don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford to shop there. Duh!When something like the Hermes Diamond Croc Birkin sells for $140,000 (which it did in 2007) it really is time for some perspective, don't you think?
Who the hell needs a bag that costs more than a luxury car? What would they carry in it - their tampons and a spare pair of knickers?
The truth is it is not necessary to spend a fortune to look fabulous. The savvy shopper knows that there are deep discounts to be had on just about anything you fancy. The secret is knowing where to look.
Auction Websites
You would be amazed at what you can get your hands on on auction sites like eBay. Granted you do have to pick through a lot of trash to find the real treasure but genuine bargains are definately to be had. The following links are to completed sales of hot designer gear just to show you what you can find on eBay:
A Hermes toga dress from the same collection as the lovely gown which draped Anjelina Jolie so beautifully and with a recommended retail price of nearly £3,000 was snapped up on eBay for the Buy It Now price of £549.
Fabulous cut out knee high Alexander McQueen boots with a recommended retail price of £990 - snapped up for £244.
With a little bit of effort there really is not much you can't find on eBay. The first car ever sold on eBay Motors was a Ferrari and unless Katie Price changes her mind, you may soon even be able to bid on Jordon's ex-implants. Maybe the winner could have them covered and use them as unique throw pillows.
