Tano Boogie Bucket, dark green




Dark green "crunch" leather Tano Boogie Bucket bag with silver hardware and dark brown leather trim. In excellent condition. The interior is clean; no stains or marks. I special-ordered this color from Luna Boston several years ago, but only used it a short time and it's been in storage ever since. Nice and roomy. Has a magnetic closure and a bright nylon interior with a cell phone pocket and a zipper compartment. Very comfy shoulder strap. The "crunch" leather has a slightly vintaged look to it; it's thin but is very good quality and, despite the name, very smooth. This means the bag is light and comfortable to carry.

Dimensions: 14" long x 12" wide x 5 1/2" deep. Shoulder strap has a 12" drop (and is not adjustable).

Paid: $200 from Luna Boston; asking $110 including shipping in the U.S. 

Listing ends January 8th.

All Black Open Wedge





*posted on behalf of Pauline*

Description: New in box, All Black brand, grey leather lace-up wedge, lightly "distressed".
It's hard to find a closed toe wedge and I obsessed about these for a long time before finally buying them. Now I'm feeling like I don't really need another pair of shoes and that I should put the money towards paying off holiday bills! :) They're completely unworn.

Size: 38.5, FITS AN 8. I wear a solid 8 but I bought the 38.5 because the 38's were way too tight.

Paid: $150 (including tax)
Asking: $125 includes standard shipping in the U.S. (If buyer wants priority shipping, there will be an extra shipping charge.)

Listing ends: Friday January 6.

The first two photos are from the website of the store where I bought these, the third photo is the actual pair.

Include contact info if you're interested. Buyers have 2 business days to complete payment via Paypal. Thanks!

*posted on behalf of Karen*

Hi there, I’m cleaning out my closet after a shopping heavy Christmas season! These lovely flats were purchased from a sample sale and sadly are too small for me!

They have a quilted toe and heel caps, and little gold baubles on the ends of the bows. Ships without box, but let me know if you need a box or additional tracking info as I’m trying to keep shipping costs low = )

Bobbi Brown Beach Fragrance - 1.7 oz



Bobbi Brown Beach Fragrance
1.7 oz.

I've used a tiny bit of this fragrance (as you can see in the bottom photo)
and I love it but I just don't wear fragrances much in general so
I'd like to pass it on to someone who will enjoy it.

From the Neiman Marcus website:



If one scent could capture the atmosphere—and attitude—of summer,
Bobbi's light fragrance is it. Designed with a combination of sand
jasmine, sea spray, and mandarin, it's wearable anytime, anywhere.


Paid: $55, plus tax
Asking: $25, including shipping

Kate Spade classic agenda *authentic*






Kate Spade day book/planner, for the purists. I tell you, even in this iPhone/smart phone age, I still love writing things down! Alas I have succumbed to technology and am letting go of my trusty, authentic, six-ring, microfiber planner with snap button. Comes with A-Z address tabs. Classic Kate Spade red.

Comes with:
- Black leather interior pockets for holding credit cards; other side also has tuck-in compartments, a pen holder, a ruler with a woman's silhouette and I am including a brand new "to-do" sheet package bought new at Bloomingdale's years ago (never opened, never used).
- Includes tabs I bough with "expenses, "notes," "projects," "to do" and "travel"

What's great, is that Kate Spade *still* makes these agendas, so you can buy the filler sheets!

On the back there is one tiny watermark and a slight one on the front, but it is not noticeable unless you look up close. There are also two pen marks from my calligraphy pen which again you can't see from the front but is visible on the back.

Pricing: I bought this new, can't remember where, for $95 I think? (Nordstrom I think?)
Yours for: $20 (reduced from $40!), shipped.

Steven Alan Herringbone Wool Skirt, Size 8 (Taupe)




*Just* bought this on LoGE, but sadly, it's a bit tight on me. I am an 8/10 so I would say this would fit a smaller 8 and a 6 perfectly. Otherwise, I'd keep it! It's a great, straightforward work skirt with a slight A-line shape. Picture and description from the original listing, below:

Lovely Steven Alan taupe herringbone wool skirt, size 8. New and never worn. Outer fabric (75% wool, 25% poly) is lovely and soft; interior fully lined. Two side pockets. Pleats at front. Small back slit and back zipper. Really well fabricated and quite flattering. Made in USA. Very Ali McGraw in "Love Story"!

Approximate measurements: Waist = 15" across; overall length = 21".

Asking $50 (what I paid), including US shipping (will ship to Canada for a bit extra). Listing ends 11:59 p.m. Thursday, January 5.

Include your contact info if interested, otherwise you will not be included in the random draw. PayPal users preferred. Buyers have 2 business days to pay or make arrangements with the seller before losing their spot. Please e-mail me with any questions, genevieve[at]enth[dot]net. Thanks for looking.

Poetic Licence Dot Tie Flats






These are a pair of brown and yellow Poetic Licence flats. They are really cute, but I never wear them. Most of their lifespan has been spent walking around hospitals on rotations, so there's more mileage yet in these shoes! There are minor scratches on the front, as you can tell from the second photo, and they are priced accordingly. Replacement heels (pictured in first photo) will be shipped with the shoes. I do love the bow tie detail and cute brown polka dots.

Size 8 and fits true to size.

Purchased from Nordstrom.

Asking $30 with US shipping included. Paypal only. Will not be shipped in box because I no longer have it.
