Note: Please Read

Since I am in the midst of cleaning out my closet, I thought I would put some items up for sale to see if anyone was interested in buying them.  Now, as for the clothes up for sale, I have to say that when I priced these items, I tried to price them as fairly as possible.  Most items are new, or worn very few times, and I kept that in mind.  Damagaes are noted in the "details" section, in case you want to know more about the condition of a certain item. 

Please scroll all the way down to see all of the items!  Thanks!

Rules:

1. If you are interested in one or more of these items, please make sure you have a PayPal account, as that is the only way I'm accepting payment.  If you don't have a PayPal account, you can easily make one and then get back to me as soon as possible. 

2. If you do in fact want to purchase an item, please leave your e-mail address in the comments section, or if you don't want anyone to see it, please send me a message through Xanga.  If you are visiting from MakeupAlley, please just send me a message through there, whether it is about a possible swap, or if you see something you would like to purchase.

3. I will check any and all messages and whoever sends the message first about a certain item, will indeed get the item, along as payment is received.  This is a first-come-first-serve like ordeal.

4. I will only hold the item for you for 24 hours if you have sent me a request for a certain item.  If I do not hear back from you at all, then I will have to put it back up for grabs.   

5. However, if you are in fact serious about buying an item, and you send me your email address, I will then send you an invoice with the total amount of money for the item(s) you have purchased, which should be payed off within the next two days or so.  If not, then the item will indeed go back up for grabs.  But please, serious buyers ONLY.

6. I will ship all clothing items (including shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, etc) for $5.00 each only within the United States.  If you buy more than one item of clothing, I will combine shipping and add only $1 on for each item that you buy. 

7. As for shoes, I will ship for $6.00 each only within the United States.  Since shoes are quite heavy, it is going to make the price of shipping more expensive.  Although, if you do in fact think the shipping cost is too high, I am willing to work something out with you.

8. NO RETURNS, unless you contact me before buying.  I will accept no returns after you have already bought the item and it doens't fit, or you don't want it anymore.  Everything is final sale.

Also, if you have any questions about certain items, just leave a comment and I will respond to your question in the comments section.  Thank you and hope you enjoy the items!  I will also be updating the status of each item as frequently as possible with PENDING, PAID, and SHIPPED so you know which items are still available and up for grabs.

Finally, these items will all be on sale for exactly one week.  Sale ends Saturday, July 11th, unless I decide to have the sale for longer!  HAPPY SHOPPING!

2008_0710july50037

Brand: Tiger of Sweden Jeans

Size: 24/32

Details: Let me just start off by saying that these are incredibly small jeans.  Yes, size 24 does indicate that they are very small, but unfortunately because of this, I was never able to wear them when I first got them.  I let a friend borrow these, but due to her incompetence (yes, she was in fact quite brain dead), she dried the jeans and now they are even smaller.  They were worn once and washed/dried once by her, but are still in excellent condition.  The only problem, as stated before is how small the jeans actually are.  They were also purchased directly from Sweden and retailed for around $200.

Price: Not sure yet; ask me

summertime daze

If you feel like I've been neglecting fashion lately, you might be right because most of my money has been spent on makeup and hair products, and not clothes.  But don't worry because afterall this is the Diary of a Fashion Addict, so I would never kick clothes to the curb.  And what better way to buy new clothes than online...especially with the amazing prices of Forever 21?  I just placed my order about two hours ago, so obviously the items haven't come yet, but here is what I ordered!  Enjoy!

Also, tell me what you think of the items I got!  What are your favorite items?

hairy potter

wilde Just the other day someone mentioned to me that my hair always seems "so straight, long, shiny, and perfect."  Not only was I a bit taken aback by her comments towards my hair, but I also realized that afterall, maybe all the money I've spent on hair products over the past couple months was finally starting to pay off.  Despite going through multiple serums, shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, creams, gels, styling tools, and anything else you can think of in order to achieve "perfect" hair, I suppose I didn't realize that the results would be so noticeable so quickly.  Not that I expected anyone to comment that my hair was "perfect" in any way, shape, or form at such an early stage, but still, what a compliment to anyone at any time!  And let me tell you--managing almost hip-length hair is not an easy task, which explains why most opt for a shorter, easier to manage hair cut.  So when someone tells me that they love my hair, it makes me happy because I do take such good care of it and I can't help but to love the fact that people notice and adore it.  Although I believe that everyone should try to discover what works and what doesn't work for them when it comes to anything (especially in terms of hair), I decided that I will post my step-by-step hair care routine, just in case any of you are interested.  It may not work as well for you as it does for me, but at the end of the day, finding out what works for you and what makes you and your hair happy is the only thing that truly matters.  So enjoy, it's easy as 1, 2, 3!

all lacquered up

my opi

From left to right: Got a Date To-Knight, Bright Lights-Big Color, Sand in My Suit, Cosmo-Not Tonight Honey!, Melon of Troy, Do You Lilac It?, Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot!, Let's Do Lunch (Sephora by OPI), Casting Call (Sephora by OPI), Mermaid to Order (Sephora by OPI)

With my recent urge to buy high-end makeup products, including eyeshadows, lip glosses, and foundations/bronzers of all sorts, emerges the same aesthetic for my nails.  Now, I've always been one for painting my nails and buying as much nail polish as possible, but for a few years or so, I kind of went through nail polish withdrawal, in which I didn't paint my nails, or even buy anything relating to nails.  Sad, right?  Well, while my natural nails may have been bare and colorless a few years ago, they are now full of color and I have once again been launched back into my nail polish phase.  And to celebrate, within the past two days, I've started building up my collection again, with the best of the best nail polishes, OPI.  And while I only have 10 (or 11, if you count the clear OPI polish), they are only the products of two days of shopping.  Yes, it may seem obsessive to some of you, but how could you resist colors such as Mermaid to Order from Sephora by OPI or Got a Date To-Knight from OPI?  I have to say that I think I've found my new kryptonite...and OPI nail polishes it is.

Tell me what you think of the colors I got!  Also, what are your favorite OPI nail polishes that you've tried?
