THE SHINE: VIDEO
- Alison Syrett, Lucky magazine
Secondhand designer shopping gets a little tricky in the online world. Bereft of tactile senses, customers must consider new methods for spotting a fake. However, if you know what to look for, used luxury goods are a great way to save some money and score a really unique piece. Still a little nervous? Don't be. Here are five scam-proof tips to keep you safe:

1.) If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
We can not stress this enough. Finding a Chanel, Hermés or Louis Vuitton bag for 75 percent off would feel like winning the lottery, right? Well, it's actually about as likely, if not less. Hitha Prabhakar, fashion writer and author of Black Market Billions: How Organized Retail Crime Funds Global Terrorists says if an in-demand item is put up for auction, "the open market will price it out-if it's real-to the price it's supposed to be."

Each week we'll have a different theme and a dedicated space (on the right side of the Shine fashion page) where readers can upload photos of their clothing, accessories, and beauty look. Our last topic was handbags, and amongst 17 great submissions, we spotted our favorite: A vintage leopard print purse submitted by a woman named Sarah won the title of Shine Reader Look of the Week. Take a look at all the awesome bags Shine readers were carrying around last week.
This week's topic is RINGS. Please send photos (through email or Twitter) of your pretty cocktail rings, silver rings, gold rings, vintage rings, engagement rings, and wedding bands. Forget arm parties--we're dying to see pictures of your best finger jewelry, and we'll show you our rings too! Stay tuned for a compiled gallery of rings and the Shine Reader Look of the Week on Friday!

If there's one thing that can polarize even the most apathetic sorts, it's the Ugg boot. Love 'em or hate 'em - everybody's got something to say. Sadly, when it comes to making money, that whole "any press is good press" thing doesn't really apply. Ugg's sales are down 31%, and the company has plans to slash prices (the boots currently start at $135 and run upward of $200 for some styles).
The brand has made numerous efforts to right the ship, including buying advertisement in a number of fashion publications to boost street cred and expanding the product line to include a variety of shoes, boots, coats, and more. And while an ad campaign featuring Tom Brady (and an unofficial endorsement from André Leon Talley) has boosted sales on the men's side, his influence still isn't enough to meet the bottom line.
We've always sort of assumed that Uggs would hang on in some form or another for years to come. After all, even in NYC, you'll still see plenty of pai...Read More »

It's not like it's all sunshine and roses for women in 2012, but ladies, let's thank our lucky stars it's not 1944-1966, which is when it was apparently neither ironic nor misogynistic nor intentionally hilarious to show women looking and thinking like they do in these ridiculous lingerie advertisements.

...Read More »Last week we told you about the world's coldest dress made entirely out of ice, but this brown paper bag jacket is even more ridiculous. Yup, United Bamboo is selling this unisex jacket made of brown paper bags coated in varnish for a whopping $480.
The ragged jacket (which we think is supposed to be a blazer? It's hard to tell ...) looks like it's going to disintegrate on the model's body at any moment. And it has tiny bits of duct tape stuck on the front that we really think gives it a "vagrant chic" vibe.
OK, we get it. Fashion designers love to push the envelope and create things that make us go, "um…what?!" That's nothing new. But even if this jacket weren't made out of torn up paper bags and duct tape, it still wouldn't be worth $480. The bulky cut, linebacker-esque shoulders, and the awkward sleeve length are totally unflattering, even if this jacket were made out of 100% silk.
And when our number one pro

Natalie Matthews, Lucky magazine I don't care how many girls in the same restaurant are wearing a peplum top-if you can find a different way to weave it into an outfit, you'll look fresh. So for that and other recent majorly trendy pieces (varsity jackets, collar necklaces), we'd suggest these updated combos. They'll send those pieces from predictable outfit territory to something double-take worthy. More from Lucky magazine: 5 Drastic Ways to Change Up Your Look 15 Secrets from Top Dermatologists 50 …
