current tidbit

May 21, 2012

You’re still mad she burned Barbie’s pink headband. You know you didn’t lose the earrings you got for your 21st birthday. And the wedges she borrowed and broke after too much bubbly are a painful reminder in your closet…

Rather than bickering, the very fashionable sibs behind Accessory Auctions have channeled their obsession for adornments into a friendly battle for bling. HP grads Kristen Rudd Hillman and Janey Rudd Steward host weekly pop-up sales on Facebook—loyal shoppers wait breathlessly, mouse in hand, to snatch up low-priced goods. The threesome (little sis Margaret just graduated from UT and joined the team) source hard-to-find items like color-blocked clutches, eclectic scarves and jewelry from across the globe—the sales are so popular they’ve just added additional weekly events.

Status report: Sold. To the sister with the faster MacBook.

Live auctions take place Monday nights at 8 pm CT. Preview tonight’s items and watch Facebook for special new Wednesday sales.
