I have a strange attraction to ugly things. I´ve noticed that it´s often the things I hate at first that I end up loving the most. One thing I´ve always hated is bolo ties. I think they´re hideous. Yesterday evening I came up with the great idea that I would get one and today I clicked one home. I don´t know if this will end up being one of those things I love to death, but at least I don´t have to be afraid of running into someone with the same accessory.

I got two things I´ve won on eBay today. One was the Dior clutch. I still can´t tell for sure whether it´s fake or not, but it looks vintage without being worn too much. It´s in great shape and looks pretty no matter where it comes from. The second was the Whiting and Davis bracelet. It came in a huge box, probably in an attempt to match the ridiculously high shipping rate I had to pay. I asked them to send it cheaper, but they never replied my mails. Even with the big box they paid just 1/3 to send it of what I paid them. Annoying, but at least it made it to me in one piece.
