To occupy the remainder of your Friday afternoon we have chosen some great pieces for our eBay picks.
Star of the show is the deep green '60s cape which will make a feature piece in your winter wardrobe. Dotted tights are the best and the Christian Dior pair are brown, which is a little different and a little less 'Allo Allo' than black. If that doesn't tickle your fancy choose from a ritzy sequinned belt and bag set or a classy patent handbag. Full product links after the jump.

Molly Ringwald has wardrobe regrets over 'The Breakfast Club' - we don't!

mollyringwald_breakfastclubregret.jpg

If you weren't a kid (or a fan) of the '80s, then you'd probably find most of what Molly Ringwald wore in her hit teen flicks pretty unforgivable. And why wouldn't you? Looking back now, it was merciless what the poor thing was made to wear. That's why it comes as little surprise that Ringwald is carrying around regrets about her former days in The Breakfast Club. She recently told the Star Tribune: "Now, I wish that I'd kept those boots. I loved those boots,"

Ah yes, those Ralph Lauren lace-up brown boots (above, right)... We feel your pain, Mols!

Hard up for cash? Peaches Geldof flogs clothes on eBay

peaches_auctionebayclothes.jpg


Do you wish that you could look like Peaches Geldof? And no, I'm not talking ASOS.com here either! Now you can actually wear the clothes literally off the socialite's back, since she has taken to flogging her threads on eBay. We're not sure whether daddy Sir Bob has decided to disinherit his daughter (there was that horrible drug dealer incident recently) but Peaches is auctioning off vintage, designer and high street pieces online, as we speak.

Ninja Vintage plaid skirt

ninja vintage plaid skirt paperbag pencil.jpgAfter taking a break from fashion for a while one of my favourite vintage stores Ninja Vintage is fully back up and running, hooray! I love this plaid skirt which has been done up tight paperbag style. True to Ninja Vintage from it's an affordable $21 which a great price for such a unique skirt.

The ruffled waistband gives a little kook to an otherwise preppy skirt so team it with chunky sandals and a white wifebeater vest top for a great summer outfit. For something a little more geeky start with brogues and a retro kid's tee. Thick glasses optional!
