Abercrombie Cashmere Hoodie

Geez! It's snowing up in the Northeast right now! That just made us want to cuddle up in soft sweaters and drink steaming tea. And even though spring is coming which makes sweaters seem obsolete, there are a couple chilly days left! Before they get here, try on Ezra Fitch's (Abercrombie premium line) luscious cashmere hooded Monet sweater. It's available in pink, grey, navy, and some other colors at a steal of a price on Ebay! These went for $140 originally but now they're flying off the listing pages at less than $50! So, so cozy!

Bath and Body Works Yummies

Somehow, in the short but flavorful history of Bath and Body Works, we all became somewhat fascinated by their products. Do you remember the first scent you received as a gift in tissue paper or the first scent you picked out for yourself in the red-and-white gingham decked cracker barrel-esque store? I think we all do--but at a cost! The tasty lotions, soaps, and beauty items have always been priced at just around 10 bucks a bottle. If you're all set on your scent and product line, however, you can nab your favorites for less than retail on Ebay (and sometimes in lots of more than one bottle for even better savings). Ebay is also an excellent resource for finding discontinued products! (And you thought you'd never see original Freesia again!) Click here for a few of our favorite scents: Sweet Pea, Cucumber Melon, Sun Ripened Raspberry, Warm Vanilla Sugar. Or just mill about the thousands of possibilities available on Ebay!

Ikea Magazine Storage Files

Love IKEA design but don't have a store near you? Or maybe you just need to pick up some more magazine racks! We love these inexpensive files for protecting your centuries of Vogue from scuffed covers. Classic white is available in massive quantities or try a flashy color or polka dot! Whatever you choose, IKEA never lets you--or your style--feel unappreciated.

Cole Haan Alexa Tiny Roll Bag

A classy basic for all your essentials! This cute "tiny roll bag" by Cole Haan has a buckle flap closure for keeping your goodies inside. The hardware is gold matte so it's sophisticated without being flashy. And two cute side zip compartments can hide your secret stash! Cole Haan is synonymous with well-styled, concise, designs constructed from some of the most luxurious and durable leathers available. The Alexa line is one of their most popular and trendy! Oh, and if you're worried about that lime green, never fear! There are pink, beige, black, white, and other colors available!

Boho Leather and Disk Belts

We featured these awhile back, but we can't help showing you what's new! Ebay keeps seeing a string of gorgeous tooled, embroidered, stoned, and disked belts in the vintage boho style. Dress up some jeans or dress down a skirt! !A fabulous way of adding shape to a slim cut outfit or adding structure to a flowing silhouette. The belt of the moment! Definitely scout out the selection on Ebay as you'll find the most unique and readily available selection anywhere.

Pink Tags Is at the Beach!

Hey girls, just wanted to let you know that we're heading to the beach for Spring Break! Browse the archives to see what we've had recently and check back in a week for more awesome items (sure to be inspired by the tropics)! And PS - if you've been waiting to join Ebay but haven't, now's a great time! Go here to sign up!


Update - Pink Tags is back from the beach--tanned and relaxed! And we're happy to resume bringing you fun and fine Ebay items, daily!

Seven Havana Destroyed Jeans

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seven seven seven. All of mankind has 'em now, blah. Yeah right! After spending centuries in the dark ages of garment factory denim, Seven got hip to the destroyed style and has now got these Havana wash flares!
Non-stretch with classic denim styling means these are "jeans of the century"! They'll just keep on looking better the more you wear 'em in.

The uber great part is the destroyage detailing on the left butt pocket. Rawr. Did we mention 50% off on Ebay? Oh, yes. Ohhhhhh, yes.

Hollister Breakwall Denim Mini

Californian or not, ya gotta love the lifestyle! And Hollister is all about making the beach bum fashions into a daily routine. So effortless, so fun! We love this semi-pleated bleach wash mini on sale in stores now. Scam it for a starting price of 30 bucks off retail when you buy on Ebay! (Or buy it now for 10 bucks off retail!)

Painted Wooden Bangles

Fun wooden bangles. Stack 'em up and slap 'em on. These painted ones are extra fun and festive with their bright colors and clacking sounds! If you missed out on raiding your mom's vintage closet, get your own brand spankin' new ones for a couple bucks.

Paige Premium Denim Jeans

Try buying these anywhere and you'll get fashion rejection: "Paige? Those jeans are back-ordered until April!" But Pinktags is here to save you! There are a limited number of Paige Premium Denim pairs popping up on Ebay right now, and the amount will soon be increasing. The revolutionary denim line was released to retailers February 1 and is set to take over Seven, Miss Sixty, Paper, Hudson, and True Religion in a matter of months. With three California-named fits available, Laurel Canyon, Mulholland Drive, and Hollywood Boulevard, you'll definitely feel star-styled. Last bit of goodness? The fit is impeccable! That's because designer Paige was a fit model for all of the top denim brands and now has tons of experience to devote to designing her own line. So snap up a pair before your friends do!

Juicy Couture Dip-Dye & Linen

Spice up your Juicy wardrobe with a new fabric (linen!) or a new color combo (dip dyed!). The linen pieces are exceptionally comfy for no nonsense sunny days. Try on some wide leg linen pants in vibrant colors! Pinktags currently loves the gorgeous dress featured above--dip-dyed linen babydoll with bands of color at the bodice and hem. Other dip-dyed options include everything terry--jackets and sets, dresses, skirts, etc. We love Juicy's fresh new take on their successful originals!

Moroccan Disc Belts

At last you can get authentic hip-slung Moroccan belts without going on an exotic vacation! Perfectly effortless trendy accessory for jean capris, boho gauze skirts, and wrap jersey dresses. Get the exact Kate Moss look or find a unique personality of your own; there are hundreds to choose from on Ebay. Mmm, exoticism at its best!

Vintage Cowboy Boots

We're not kidding when we say people kill for these. They are killing, and they're doing it with money! Now you, you savvy shopper, can get your own vintage cowgirl kicks for much less than Screaming Mimi's five hundred buck price tag. Pinktags recommends using Ebay to get them for less than a hundred, sometimes way less! You can even one-up Mary-Kate Olsen and Sienna Miller with your incredible fashion sense by personalizing your pick from the array of choices. Here's a quickie guide to what's available!

Brandwise, Pinktags recommends Abilene, Justin, Laramie, Frye, and Capezio (they make Britney's favorite butterfly design) vintage boots. You'll find gorgeous inlays, superb authentic leathers, and interesting detail work on all of these boots.

Colorwise, Pinktags recommends black with colored inlays (a la Mary-Kate Olsen's fab riders), hues of denim blue (awesome with jean skirts), the shades between ivory, cream, and white (reminiscent of those performing cowgirls), and that ever-elusive neutral tan color (perfect for pulling off the cowboy look while retaining your long-stemmed sexiness, a la Sienna Miller's cowkicks).

Pricewise, we have noticed that even the most innocent looking auctions (staying at $10.00 for several days like these amazing blue beauties which eventually went for over a hundred) can grab a huge draw at the end. That said, you will also find tons of options that stay under fifty bucks and keep you stylish on the cheap. Just keep your radar up and keep checking your auctions. (Pinktags tip: Also try this search for Western boots, excluding cowboy boots. You'll get some more options!)

Silk Scarves Galore

The scarf--what happens when a piece of fabric gets a life of its own! Wear it a million ways (head wrap, headband, handkerchief top, sash, belt, mini mini skirt, bracelet tie, necklace tie)! To find exactly the pattern and shape you want, you can start by sorting through the thousands of silk scarves available. Or if you want something more specific, try a wildly designed Pucci, a classic plaid Burberry, a vintage original, or anything colored in turquoise and aqua.

Juicy Couture Terry Dress

Juicy's gorgeous smocked tube dresses are back for another round of casual glamour! What you didn't know about Juicy, though, is that you can get both this year's and last year's at scene-stealing prices by shopping Ebay. Seriously, there is so much Juicy to be had! Grab a couple terry tube dresses while you're at it!

The Best Vintage Tees

What to wear this morning? It's a crappy day so you pull on your fave broken in jeans and...? There is no better solution to this predicament than a vintage tee! Need help thrifting for yours? Ebay's got an array of choices. Here are some of our recommendations: Vintage Vantage tees, tinypony tees, retro tees, crazy mixed tees, and another wild mix of tees. (PS - this hot White Castle tee is available from Vintage Vantage top shelf, home of the real good stuff.)

Earnest Sewn Asymmetrical Mini

A brand new take on the mini! Asymmetry! Earnest Sewn has done this clever mini skirt in a lovely traditional Milk Blue color. But it's not totally normal! The waistband wraps around to the back and meets askance for a handsewn look. They've also slapped a random pocket on the right cheek! So witty with a simple tank for summer! (And sixty bucks off retail when you use Ebay!)

Juicy Couture Royalty Sets

Aaahhh! What every girl wants! No need to blabber on about how sweet, hot, and cute these Juicy sets are. Fleecy goodness on top and bottom with royal seal to boot! Get yours in black, pink, white, blue, whatever! Save and live large when you get your Juicy Couture on Ebay!

Cool Change Spring Dress

Inspired by the casual flair of Jessica Simpson, this gathered tube dress by Cool Change makes the mundane sundress into a fabulous flirtation! Lovely pastel sherbert colors (so hot this spring!) and embroidered flounce. Yummy Caribbean flair, too. We love it!

Bohemian Gypsy Skirts

Sienna Miller has officially started a revolution with these long, flowing patterned skirts. On Ebay you can get everything from the top-of-the-line shimmery Alka Vora skirts to the more vintage floral styles available (also cheaper!). Decide on a general color or pattern type that works for you and then start sifting through the myriad of skirts available! Don't forget to accessorize with piles of jewelry and a flowing top!

Harvey's Seat Belt Bags

Even though they've been around for awhile, Harvey's seat belt bags keep winning us over with their durability and power to attract jealous stares! Made entirely of tough nylon seatbelts, your seat belt bag will not let you down! Ferrari Red, Rally Green, Pontiac Purple, Cadillac Pink, Limo Black... so many automobile-insipired hues! And you guessed it, these totes are perfect for car rides!

Calvin Klein Lowrise Thong

Hellooooo thongs! The strappy underwear of choice for I-feel-sexy days. Calvin Klein has honestly perfected the thong with his extreme low rise string version. Soft microfiber that hides neatly in your pants where it belongs. Usually nine bucks retail, you can get them for less than half of that online. So desirable!

Sweetees Yoko Tops

Adorable feminine top by Sweetees! This is actually two tops in one! A shrug style cropped pullover (in pink, blue, or green) over a colorful Asian print camisole. Wear together or apart for an extremely versatile and fun look!

Chip & Pepper Bareballer Skirt

Chip & Pepper is back for another hot denim season. Check out the tasty Bareballer skirt in destroyed "XXX" wash. (Some intern got off naming the spring '05 collection, eh?) Ripped out hem, damaged details, barely there skimming length! (And get it for more than fifty bucks off retail!)

Ronny Kobo Terry Clutch

Ronny Kobo is about to take handbags by storm; so what better path to success than delicious terry cloth? Ronny Kobo's most popular line of clutches is covered in soft, manageable terry and decorated with antiqued metal adornments. Adorable for running to get ice cream with friends!

Converse All-Star Chucks

Chucks! Quit denying yourself basic sneaker glory! Try on some green, turquoise, or blue Chucks to delight your feet--Ebay has a brilliant selection of colors, sizes, and styles at absurdly affordable prices! (Now for the outfit... Perhaps pair them with your Juicy socks?!)

Juicy Couture Tube Socks

Who said tube socks were for your little brother? Snatch up your own pair, done with colorful confidence by Juicy Couture, and slap 'em on with a miniskirt and heels or sneaks. Pinktags recommends the double top-stripe socks from last season over the banded color socks being sold this season. (Long live graphic, sexy stripes!)
