BLOG SALE #1

EDIT: NOW CLOSED!
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT BOUGHT SOMETHING :)
Hey everyone,
I'm hosting my very first blog post. I have a lot of clothes that sadly just aren't my style anymore but need a loving home!


Just some housekeeping:
  • I have 100% positive feedback on Ebay - so you can buy with confidence.
  • Prices include UK shipping.
  • I do ship overseas but ask for a fair shipping price.
  • Paypal only.
  • I think all prices are fair but feel free to haggle.
  • If you want more information about an item, ASK! I'm nice, I promise. ;)
  • No holding items (sorry!) and no trades as all proceeds are going towards my NYC trip.

Okies, on to the lovely stuff:

  2. I want the MK One dress. How much would shipping be to Germany?
    And is it really that stretchy? I'm a size 22 in stretchy dress things, would you think it would still fit me?
    I'll just try it nevertheless, just asking :)

  3. I like the Pink Necklace and The Black Heart One I also like the New Look black top with the unnatched strands. When are they going on your eBay? Are you puting them up as buy it now or best offer or just bidding? I'd prefer buy it now & best offer LOL, hope it doesn't sound cheeky lol.

  4. Coco: How is £8.50 in all sound? :) And it has plenty of give in the waist, so I reckon you should be fine! £8.50 to carlabenstead(@)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk? :)

    Emma: They're not going on ebay - they're sold here on my blog and payment etc is worked out through comments/emails etc. Lots of bloggers do it to save on extortionate ebay fees - I just put a link to my account so folks know I'm a good seller. If you'd like the items, that'd be £13 in all if you're from the UK? :)

  5. Blog sales are great ideas - I'm looking to do one sometime in the near future too - I've got such a ridiculous amount of stuff, & probably more than half of it has still got the tags in! (Honestly, I've got a problem..)

    Best of luck with this - although, looks like it's off to a good start :)

    GORGEOUS, a shame it's not in my size because I would've snapped it up else!

  11. 8,50 pound is super fine! I just paid you via paypal but I had to transfer money onto my paypal account. So it might take a while until it arrives. I hope that's okay! :)

  12. Hello MessyCarla,

    What a bundle of delights. What's still available from the necklace photo? I'd like the three on the left - yacht, peace and heart - but know someone else has expressed interest so do let me know. And a price for all three.

    Happy sale-age.

  13. Ohhh I would love the sailboat necklace and DP stripey dress. Any idea how much shipping would be to Canada?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Would you post to Singapore? How much do you reckon shipping will cost?

    I'm keen on this - Vintage 1980s dress. Size 18. Looks brilliant with a belt and cardigan. Worn once.
    £10.

    Still available?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Natalie: Only the sailboat necklace has been sold. Gonna give the other girl a bit to let me know if she still wants the heart. Peace necklace still available. :)

    Elizabeth: The sailboat necklace has been sold, but altogether the DP stripy dress would be £8.50?

    wastedfashion: I sure do, but I'm not sure for shipping prices (I usually only ship to America/Canada/Europe) but I'll find out for you :) xxx

  17. I love our blog! I mean, is great! I love that curvy girls (like me) forget stereotypes and show to all the people and the world we can be fashion and cute, no matter the size. Wehe I live (spain) is quite difficult find blogs about curvy girls so when I discovered your blog made my day happy :) You're a great and perfect model to follow for us :)

  18. Hi! Keen on the Betsy Johnson bag and pink necklace! Do let me know about shipping to Singapore for those two items. If the shipping's too much for me, I'll arrange for them to be sent to an UK addie :)

  19. VanessaValkyria: How lovely! Thank you, beautiful! I'm going to hopefully be visiting Spain for the first time at the end of this year - I can't WAIT :) xxxxx

    Serene aka: A few other girls have expressed interest in the necklace but the bag is still available. It may be easier for me to send to the UK addy, as you won't have to pay any extra postage - just £7 in all! :) xxx

  20. Could you tell me how long the chain is on the 'forever' pink necklace? If it's long I'd love to buy it, I just can't stand things too close to my neck x

    ReplyDelete
  21. Rai: 18inches - there's other interest in it, but I'm still waiting for them to get back to me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Such a great idea, i'll be looking to do the same in the near future xoxo
