It all got cranked up a notch when I discovered that you can save your searches. Once you do that, you start getting email updates. So, for example, I got it in my head that I wanted one of those Garrard wing pendants. I did a search, didn't find what I wanted, but saved the search so for weeks after that, I got notified whenever a new one appeared. When the right pendant at the right price appeared, from a seller who looked reputable, I was right there, hunched over my keyboard, calculating how high I was prepared to go.
Some things do get passed on to the very nice people at Banardos. But, overall, I think I do pretty well. Fab finds include the above mentioned wing pendant, as well as a few pairs of perfect jeans, a great vintage houndstooth overcoat by Aquascutum (not pictured because it's at the dry cleaners - in Glasgow I whole heartedly recommend Aqua on Great Western Road), a jewelled DKNY coat, some Kurt Geiger chelsea boots, some Stuart Weitzman for Russell & Bromley clogs (yes, I fully intend to wear clogs this summer. I loved them when I was six, and I love them now.), a suede shirt from Jaeger, and this Escada Sport sweater. Tennis anyone?
