"You dolls already know that eBay is like an endless attic of a chic great grandma you always wish you had, but with the arrival of celebrity stylist Annabel Tollman to fashion.ebay.com, it&amp;#x27;s about to become a whole lot easier to dig through those overstuffed bins and boxes to unearth the buried treasure of your designer dreams. She shares her five best tips for making those discounted Louboutins yours, after the jump. Annabel has spent her career dressing the likes of Scarlett Johansson and the Olsen twins, so she knows a thing or two about honing in on your personal style. She also has, as one of my favorite movie characters of all time puts it, &amp;quot;a black belt in shopping,&amp;quot; and she&amp;#x27;s sharing her tips exclusively with us to help celebrate her partnership with eBay&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Fashion Voice&amp;quot; section. Here&amp;#x27;s how to get the goods: 1. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#x27;re embracing the summer season&amp;#x27;s lingerie-as-outerwear trend, then search for 30s girdles to wear as mini-skirts--with a stripey t-shirt and flats!&amp;quot; 2. &amp;quot;Shop out of season--not that many people are going to feel the lust for a mink coat or over-the-knee Louboutin boots in July. That&amp;#x27;s what storage units were made for.&amp;quot; Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! 3. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#x27;re uncertain about whether an item will fit, ask for measurements and then compare them to the measurements of a piece of clothing that you have that fits well.&amp;quot; 4. &amp;quot;If you love vintage rock tees, but are particular about finding really thin and worn-in ones, then make sure to include the word &amp;amp;#8220;thin&amp;amp;#8221; into &amp;#x27;vintage, unisex &amp;amp; t-shirts.&amp;#x27; If you love vintage as much as I do [EDITOR&amp;#x27;S NOTE: WE DO!], check out &amp;amp;#8220;What&amp;amp;#8217;s Your Vintage&amp;amp;#8221; video on fashion.ebay.com where I give shoppers advice on how to find and wear vintage using style icons through the decades as inspiration.&amp;quot; 5. &amp;quot;Bid at the last minute, and only at the last minute. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been known to set my alarm right before an auction ends. If you bid early, you&amp;amp;#8217;re just inviting somebody to outbid you and push the price up.&amp;quot; What do you dolls think of Annabel&amp;#x27;s tips? Are you a big eBay shopper?
