WTH Wednesday-Everyone wants to Ebay

Courtney Love, the sometimes volatile, always strange, but never boring queen of grunge has decided to open an Ebay store. Oh…be still my heart. Called Courtney Love Couture, the store claims to have authentic pieces worn by Courtney Love.  And like Courtney, there is beauty and crazy loaded up in there.

 

 
Vintage Satin Slip WORN By Courtney Love
2 Bids: $202.50
Because everyone wants a stained unknown maker satin slip.

 

Marc Jacobs Gold Applique Dress OWNED By Courtney Love
0 Bids
I do like this one. But I’m shocked Marc Would even let her near his clothing.

 

 
Red Baby Doll Dress OWNED By Courtney Love
1 Bid:$299.00
This should have stayed in her closet. Wayyyyyy back in her closet.

 

 
Rick Owens Leather Jacket OWNED By Courtney Love
1 Bid:$399.00
I’m on the fence with this. It looks cheap. But a fab price for Rick Owens.

 

Now if your thinking of bidding, the ebayer running this store- c.lovecouture –has 100% Positive feedback. Of course, they also only have 3 feedbacks, I admit I’m shocked they can even sell. See, the Ebay rule of thumb (for us peons) is that you must have a feedback of 10 before you can sell anything. I see this did not apply to c.lovecouture. That makes me wonder if they are also being help to the frozen fund rule. That rule states stat all new sellers will have their funds frozen until buyer leaves positive feedback or item shows delivered. Somehow, I’m thinking no.

 

Either way, if your jonsing for some of Courtney Love’s castoffs-look no further then Ebay.

Derek Lam + Ebay= Saturday Stimulation

Everyone’s jumping on the “limited collection collaboration” wagon lately. From H&M to Macy’s we are seeing more designers broadening their appeal by designing for the masses.
Derek Lim has entered into the fray with a collection for Ebay. Set to launch Feb 16th, here is one early look at what you can expect to see of his collection.
 
Check out ELLE’s March issue for more from Lam and tune into ELLE.com for the other 15 looks on the 16th.

The Worst Review Ever
A funny and interesting blog where authors can submit the worst review they have received of their work for an award. There are really are some funny ones on there.
I admit, when I first saw this I RAN over there to see if an author had nominated one of my reviews. Nothing. Not sure if I was happy or sad about that. LOL

 

 Karl Lagerfeld to Design for Macy’s

Yes my lovelies…the rumors are true. Karl Lagarfeld is designing a one time limited edition for Macy Department stores. The collection, which is set to tentively release in September 2011, will be comprised of jeans to formal gowns.
Karl won’t be the only designer to take this step. The well known retailer has many other famous designers (Calvin Klein,Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Versace and Costume National) lined up to offer designs that will rotate every 2 months starting in February. 2011 seems to be starting out with a bang.

 

Tired of the 80’s look?

Well have no fear because according to WWD, it’s the 70s style flares that are rocking this season. Again. Damn it. Here is a look at what the stores are holding for you.
