I am in the throes of an eBay phase at the moment. It all started because I couldn't sleep one night so I decided to waste time online. And here we are, a couple of happy purchases down.
I am a specific shopper, only hunting for used Sass & Bide - an Australian designer duo I have always had a thing for since I bought their jeans in the early 2000's. I have managed to secure some absolute bargains and this top, as seen below, is one of them.
It's difficult to describe. Black jersey material, double layered, with rose gold details creating a zigzag pattern and a pronounced V at the front.
Normally their stuff retails somewhere near ££££ridiculous so I was pretty pleased with this...
FYI: That V can fall pretty low so for daytime we put a little Topshop body underneath!

Top: Sass & Bide
Jeans: Cheap Monday
Shoes: Guess
Bag: Celine
Sunglasses: RayBan (I have been asked about the model number and all the details have rubbed off but I think it's these - Link!)
This top is one of those one-off items but I am keen to know from any of you if you have uncovered some great finds recently - particularly if you know the eBay seller has stock! Let us know!
Hamsa giveaway!
...and finally I can announce the winner of the Hamsa necklace giveaway.
I always think giveaways are going to be so simple and straightforward but the reality is that I look over all the comments, make sure there are no duplicates and then do the random.org thing. It's always more work than I thought.
Anyway, the winner is.....

Congratulations! Email me your details at buynowbloglater@gmail.com and I will forward them on to Elisabeth, the store owner who will ship it out to you.
Thanks to everyone for taking part - I think I have ruined the purity of the "enter me" contest for many...that's my dirty mind for you :) Happy Friday!

Thanks Shen!
DeleteThe top is beautiful, I'm actually tempted to see if I can find one on ebay! I had a few pairs of Sass & Bide Misfit jeans in the early 2000s too.
ReplyDeletewe need to go back there i think...S&B jeans gave the best arse ever!! :) haha
DeleteLaura you look gorgeous! By the way, when does it become too hot in Dubai to wear jeans? :P

The weather is weird at the moment...not as hot as we all want it to be :) I think in a couple of months jeans will be just a memory :)
DeleteThat top is gorgeous. Wish there was more available!
ReplyDeleteI know :( you never know though ...worth a look!
DeleteLaura, do you know what the top was called? x
DeleteThat top is really lovely, looking gorgeous in that outfit, nice and casual too :)

DeleteI love that top. Looks so pretty with the rose gold detailing! Oh and thanks for the "enter me" comment. Still giggling. <3
ReplyDeletehaha no problem - i can't be the only one who saw the connotations of that :)
Deletei really like this one you. rose gold seems to look really good with your skintone :) also, i have serious hair envy. i need to get my hands on some bleach ASAP, but the weather has been pants here lately so haven't really felt the need to do it... yet!
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to go back to the hairdressers and get a higher up omnbre...once you start you can't stop :) haha
DeleteI'm always in the ebay phase, really like the top you got! xo
ReplyDeletehttp://prettypetticoats.blogspot.co.uk/

ah thanks Kerry :) x
Deletei went to the sass & bide warehouse sale in sydney today! there was lots there so it might be worth checking ebay.com.au in the coming days to see if any enterprising peeps have stocked up on sass & bide to sell...
ReplyDeleteOMG! How i wish i could go to an event like that :) That's a good tip - I will see how many more listings pop up :)
DeleteLove the top, I'm absolutely loving rose gold right now :) You look lovely.

Thanks Jenny! Rose gold is addicting :)

i love the top, looks so gorgeous!

Lovely top! I like the mix of colours. I'm not the biggest ebayer but yesterday I bagged myself a gorgeous Coast cocktail dress for £35 rather than £145, brand new- it was bought for a bridesmaid, who then couldn't make the wedding. It's beautiful, and just what I was looking for after days of scouring the internet for a dress for my Grad ball which I adored and wouldn't break the bank. Hooray for ebay!!
ReplyDeleteyay another cool blog discovered!!!!!!! great top!!!!!
ReplyDeletePretty top. Will have to look out for it.
ReplyDeleteI love ebay. Love finding bargains!
Oh Laura, I don't know how you do it but you always make me want everything you wear or have (although I know most of them won't look as good on me as they do on you haha!)
ReplyDeletei absolutely love what the outfit looks like, the shoes are amazing and go so so well with the top! Definate bargain. XXXXXXXX
