the best things in life aren't things

the thing i hate losing the most on auction sites is comme des garçons skirts. i've been hoping to finally own one some day in the near future, but for some reason all of the ones i end up liking get sold before i can act or cost more than what i currently have in my bank account. i'm especially sad i couldn't buy this ss04 skirt that got uploaded

one day you'll be able to be faster (and richer) and those fanatics that keep buying the skirts you want!

boobies!

i've been meaning to ask you, but i always forget. can you rec me any good fashion journals/comms/blogs or just anything random O:

maybe their servers will crash during the auction and you'll get the item?

thanks, i'll check them out later. i also liked the two blogs you posted, mostly because of the b/w photos 8)

you can always screen it?

.. we can always hope? i actually remember that happened once, but i had actually won the item and the person couldn't ship it to me, because their server crashed and they couldn't get my shipping address, haha :|
i'm glad i could help. and yarrrr screening it i am! i always get paranoid and feel like there's a way for people to see friends only posts/screened comments, haha.

ahh. i suck so bad at auctions. D: good luck with your bidding/searches!

(and sorry, i'm a jerk and stole those links and will probably be looking through them; but don't worry. i won't share them~ great. now i will want everything.) i skipped through one really fast and it had a paulo roversi photo <3 i love his photos~

i suck a lot, too. that's why i prefer buying items that are in the "buy now" category, even if they are more expensive usually :| the fact that i don't really have that much money and invest in one item i want at a time kind of explains why i'm so paranoid when it comes to bidding, thus leading to me not winning/not even bidding most of the time.. :|

(you can be a jerk all you want, really! i don't mind my friends using those links, but since the post is public, i didn't really want to leave them there in the open for everyone to grab. i know i'm selfish, meh.. also, i already screened the comment, so tell me if you want me to un-screen it if you're using the links from here and haven't copied them yet!) i have to admit i'm not really familiar with paulo roversi as a name, as i don't really follow photographers, but i will check him out..

i'm sort of paranoid about fake things being auctioned off (at least for things like jewelry... i considered bidding on vivienne westwood stuff but forgot about it just as quickly when i saw all the knockoffs..)

i think i copied all the links... XP
i haven't seen a WHOLE lot of paulo roversi's work, but i've liked pretty much every editorial i've seen him shoot. <3 i don't follow photographers much either, but his stuff caught my eye (:

vivienne westwood is probably one of the designers i would never buy off of ebay or some other site like that (though i guess yahoo japan auctions is rather reliable, as people in japan love their brands and almost never buy fake in the first place).

well, enjoy looking through them! i love some of those blogs (but most just make me really, really jealous.. or wonder how much money do simple girls who just happen to run a fashion blog have)!
i googled him and really like the atmosphere in his works!
