Last thoughts on eBay Obsessed

In an act of true gracelessness and horror, I wiped out on the streets of New York yesterday. I wasn't paying attention, was carrying too many things and dialing my phone at the same time and, all of a sudden, there I was, on my back, dress up, phone broken, bag emptied on the sidewalk. Your basic urban nightmare. But then a funny thing happened: The people around me helped; they gathered my things, they checked to see if I was OK and they got me on my feet. It made me remember everything that is actually good, kind and generous about humans. I bring all of this up to tell you that the woman who helped me the most, the real accident angel, looked like a young Sophia Loren (one of my style fixations). She was wearing a wiggle dress and some of the best vintage red heels I've ever seen (I found a verrry similar pair on eBay).

I also bring all of this up because today marks the end of a little era. You may notice a new title on this blog. On Monday, I'll start living up to it. I'll be writing about all things Etsy and vintage and vintage-inspired (send me ideas! please!). There'll still be a bit of eBay, but it seems apt to end my truly eBay Obsessed days by obsessing over a nice woman with mad-inspiring style, all of which can be found on our favorite auction site.
