Hello red Willis

I've added another vintage Coach bag to my collection. After seeing Willis in red over the summer, I could not stop thinking about it. So I created an ebay saved search, waited, watched, and finally bid! She became mine for just over $70.

I contemplated calling this post "ode to ebay mobile", as that app has totally changed ebay for me. We had an on again - off again relationship for years, because having to be at my computer for the end of an auction could be problematic.

Enter the iPhone app; no longer does it matter where I am or what I'm doing - I get a push notification 15 minutes before an auction I'm watching is ending, and bidding is super fast and easy. I have no issues with getting in my bid during the final 10 seconds of the auction.

I love getting push notifications for all my saved searches too, even listing items is fast and simple right from the phone. I never visit the ebay website anymore, I love the mobile app so much.

Also new in this post, the perfect plaid shirt from J.Crew factory (40% off) and brown booties to replace the ones I purged. I literally tried on every pair of booties at DSW and bought these, the very first pair I saw when I walked in the door. Figures.

    I love that Coach bag! Can you believe I put 5 Coach bags in a huge plastic bag and sent them to Goodwill back in 2005. I'm kicking myself. Oh well. Love the color of those boots, super cute.

    I literally just put that plaid shirt on my wishlist for Christmas. I love, love, love it! It is comfortable? Sometimes I feel like their button downs fit weirdly.

    Your new bag is gorgeous! I get nervous with eBay and items being authentic since there's so many fakes on there.

    Oh you lucky lady! My dad in law is currently in the States and this time I did not only send him to J.Crew but to Coach as well. The bag I had been eyeing for a while was completely sold out everywhere though :( I tried eBay, but not living in the states makes it hard to get my hands on a Coach bag through there. I absolutely LOVE yours! That color is so beautiful :) xo

    What a gorgeous bag! The red shades that Coach comes out with are some of the prettiest ones in the whole handbag industry, I think... there's just something about the depth they have. And I'm absolutely loving it paired with your plaid blouse and fur vest - not a combination I would have come up with, but it works so well that now I want to try it!

    A girl after my own heart! I know that last second ebay bidding feeling too well... I've even gone into the bathroom with my cell when I've been out with friends so I don't get interrupted during the last few seconds lol.

    I like your style, blog and thriftness :).

    This. Bag. Seriously. I want one. I never knew the Willis was made in this color.

    Nice new boots! I've been thinking about getting brown boots, but I wear so much black I haven't decided if it would be worth it :P

    I love your new bag. I have my eye on a couple Coach bags right now. Maybe I will get one for Christmas. I need to download the Ebay app. I've never had much luck with Ebay before.

    LOVING this look! I like how you left the plaid untucked and it still looks chic and put together. Great find on that bag, too. Love finding treasures on eBay
