Style Report: 'Pretty Little Liars: Ctrl A'

I've been in love with Hanna's gold Chanel earrings for quite a few episodes now. Every time I see them, I try to think of a way for a normal girl, like myself, to get my paws on them!

If you love that Chanel too, try these.

Maya had some 70s-inspired fashion going on this evening as well, and I'm diggin' it!

Here's a similar faux-fur lined vest, at a very reasonable price I might add!

Why You Need to Be on eBay

eBay has come a long way since it began in 1995, and I'll admit my experience with them has been about 50/50 over the years. However, as they've perfected their processes for handling designer items (and the fakes that come with them) I'd say it's becoming safer and safer to be an eBay buyer.

Years ago, my now fiance was crushed when we found out he accidentally bought me a fake Tiffany jewelry set off eBay. The seller swore it was authentic, and at the time eBay had no rules set in place for selling name brand jewelry other than going on good faith of the seller. In the end, I had to get an appraiser at Tiffany to confirm it was fake in order for the seller to refund the money.

Now, eBay doesn't allow anyone to sell any type of name brand replicas. So you could shop for your favorite Coach tote at a fraction of it's normal price. Or the long-since sold out Betsey Johnson skull necklace from the "Pretty Little Liars" finale for just $7. Or any designer item you want! And you can rest easy knowing you're buying the real thing for a great price. (Remember I was recently searching for a sold out evil eye bracelet from Betsey? Now there are at least 2 on eBay!)

eBay has become a haven for the fashion-obsessed to purchase vintage, new, or used designer items for a fraction of what a huge department store would charge. The best part about it? You're helping the environment by purchasing previously-loved items! Visit eBay's Fashion Vault to learn more about their designer brands for real-people prices.  

Style Report: 'Pretty Little Liars' Finale

Now that we've come to the summer finale of "Pretty Little Liars" it's time to talk fashion. I love Betsey Johnson, and she was getting some serious love on last night's episode.

For their wedding outfits, Aria was decked out in a pink rosette dress and pink skull pendant necklace by Betsey. So I scouted the internet to bring you Aria's amazing style.

The bad news? The pink skull necklace she wore in the episode has been sold out in regular stores since July. The good news? I found it for a fraction of the price on eBay (grab it here) AND it's going to auction for as little as $1.04 for another 7 hours.

What were you loving about "PLL" fashion last night?

Give Your Legs Some Love

Tights have to be one of my top 3 favorite fall/winter accessories for 2 reasons: 1. they're super affordable and 2. you can wear them with anything.

You may be thinking that tights seem more like an accessory for the frosty winter season than the crisp fall. And to that I say, open up a little bit! You don't have to limit yourself to just one type of leg accesory, because there are so many options out there.

My more recent inspiration for tight-obsession would be "Pretty Little Liars." (As a side note, if you don't watch it you need to if only for the fashion.) Check out Hanna's lacy rose tights from last night's episode.

Transparent, light tights like these can double for fall and winter wear with dresses, shorts, and skirts. If you're like me, and you live in an area where it's a bit hotter later in the year, you can opt for a lighter version. You may laugh, but I love the look of socks (mostly because it takes me right back to watching Clueless)!

And socks these days give us so many other texture and height options than just "knee-high" or "over-the-knee." Socks are a great fall accessory to add with flats or heels for the fall. They add contrast and texture to otherwise bare legs. Check out just a few of the options out there.
