I wrote a long article about how to spot fake designer goods on eBay, which contains all the general rules for making sure you don’t get ripped off.
I also get…

After the hubbub of Christmas, New Year’s can sometimes slip by. The way I see it, though, New Year’s sets the tone for the upcoming year. It’s a time to think about one’s priorities and make wonderful memories.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a memorable New Year’s Eve. My most memorable New Year’s Eve was when a friend and I dressed up in formal gowns even though we were just…

Coach is well known for their handbags, but who knew they could make such beautiful shoes?
These fine suede heels with velvet trim SOLD OUT would look gorgeous on the foot of a Renaissance court lady. Fortunately for you, they don’t lose any of their magic when paired with slacks for the office. They’ll bring a pop of personality in a sea of boring neutrals.
They’re now just $159.99, down from the list price of $229. The purple is…

It looked fab, you bought it, you took it home. You put it on for its public debut and felt”¦ blah. For some reason, that thing you loved is now leaving you cold.
Or, you love it but it doesn’t love you. It didn’t stretch like it was supposed to”¦ the ankle straps cut into your feet”¦ it doesn’t work with…

Sure, you can buy a canvas tote for cheap, but if you’ve got the money to buy an investment bag, this is it: a black leather Prada tote bag that’s practical as well as stylish.
The list price is $1,300 — but it’s currently available for just $499. That’s an authentic Prada bag for more than 60% off!
Ships to the U.S., APO/FPO addresses, and U.S. protectorates.
It’s easy to be sceptical of New Year’s resolutions seeing how many are broken over the years. Yet I still find it empowering to sit down and think about things that I want to change and — more importantly — can change.
Two areas of life that are actually easy to change are fashion and beauty. Nevertheless, we all get into ruts now and then, and some people stay in them for decades. That’s why it’s great…

Psst! Now’s the time to snap up some Bargain Queen-approved sweaters at further discounts.
They’ve been marked down further in the post-Christmas sales — such as this cashmere crew-neck for only $34.99 and this luxurious cable cashmere hoodie now priced at $89.99. Or select one of the delicious colours of the Isaac Mizrahi cashmere cardigans for a ridiculous $34.99.

Good things may come to those who wait, but sometimes you have to act fast to get great bargains. Usually we try to bring you bargains that aren’t almost sold out, so that more of you can enjoy the discounts.
But it’s not unusual to come across great deals where there is only one or two of an item left. So, for all the fans of authentic Coach handbags, here are some deals with very limited…
