Momo Suzuki Black Crane Wide Dress, Size Medium



posted on behalf of Jennifer

This is a really comfortable, great dress by Black Crane. It is brand new without tags (I ordered it from Mohawk General Store online, and it didn't come with tags attached). I'm selling because I ordered a small and a medium, but took too long to decide which size I wanted to keep and missed the return window. I love it because it can be dressed up or down. The first picture is from Mohawk General Store, and shows the fit of the dress.

Care and composition: 100% cotton. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

Measurements when flat:
Bust: hard to measure because it's sort of dolman-like, but approx 26.5"
Length: approx 33.5"-34"

Paid: $80
Asking: $40 + $6 shipping, more for international

Please e-mail me at jwal506 (at) gmail (dot) com with any questions! Thanks! Listing ends one week from today.

Rag and Bone High Rise Skinny Jean in Heritage, Size 26



posted on behalf of Jennifer

This is a great pair of jeans by Rag and Bone. I've only worn them a couple of times, and there is no fading, tears, rips, or flaws on these jeans. They are very flattering, and the color is very versatile. I just don't wear them as much as some other pairs I have, because I'm a creature of habit. I'm hoping these find a better home!

Won Hundred Olive Green Cotton Parka, S/36

Posting for Joanne




I was so excited to have found the perfect lightweight parka for spring/summer from Danish label Won Hundred, but sadly it's way too big for me. I'm normally an XS or 0 and thought I could get away with a S (Swedish size 36), but I'm completely swimming in it. It's made of really soft and durable 100% moleskin cotton, is a pretty olive green in color (color is exactly as it appears in last three photos, courtesy of Totokaelo). Unlined, zips/snaps closed, has removable hood and nice roomy front pockets. It's brand new and unworn with all tags and extra buttons attached.

Size: Small / Swedish 36. The model in the photo above is wearing the size small. It measures 34.5" from shoulder to hem, 19" across from shoulder to shoulder.

Asking: $135, includes US shipping (originally $300)

Ends: February 16, 2012 (or one week from post date)

Feel free to comment if you have any questions!

Gray and black BCBG Max Azria dress, size 4

Posting for Leah

Subject: Gray and black BCBG Max Azria dress, size 4

Dear LoGErs,

I'm finally facing the facts and hoping to pass on some beloved dresses to good homes where they'll actually be worn. Some I've worn only once, and some never at all (shame on me!). Hopefully my loss will be your gain.

BCBG Max Azria
Size 4
100% Silk with acetate lining

Measurements (flat)
Bust 14.5"
Waist 13.5"
Length 24"

Gray silk strapless dress with black waistband and hidden zipper at the back. Non-slip band (the kind used in strapless bras) along the bust. My favorite thing about this dress is the one-length skirt made of layers and the solid overlay that skirts out ever so slightly (can't really capture it on a hanger). The layers on the skirt and the bust are somewhat askew, adding to the overall look and charm.

I wore this dress one time, and sadly it just doesn't fit.

Paid $150 brand new
Asking $70 shipping within US included (extra for international)

The fine print: Listing ends in one week. Please include email address for random drawing. Buyer has 2 days to complete transaction. Please email lglushien at gmail dot com for any questions. Thank you!

J Crew Coat, Size 4


I want to sell this J.Crew double cloth pleated coat that I bought last winter. I really love this coat, but unfortunately, it's too tight in the bust and I waited too long before trying to return it. It's well constructed and very chic, and still has its tags on. In very good, like new condition, I've only worn it a handful of times to try it on indoors.

I apologize for the less than optimal pictures, taken with my phone.

I am not sure exactly how much I paid, somewhere in the $200 range, but I am asking $100 + $10 for shipping

Size 4, True to size

Color: Black

*Reduced/Relist*: Rare! Mooka Kinney Floral Mini Dress, Size 2 / $90


Posted on behalf of Lauren.

This is a GORGEOUS dress—and a rare find from the Spring 2008 collection of the (sadly) now-defunct label MOOKA KINNEY (design duo Rachel Antonoff & Alison Lewis).

The dress is without tags but BRAND NEW, never worn.

I'm in love with the print—a stunning autumn floral—which is why I've held on to this dress for so long. But I finally had to come to terms with the fact that I will never fit into a size 2! It's perfect for fall, and a classic/very flattering mini dress cut.

Details:
Size 2 (true to size)
100% cotton
Pit to pit measurement: 17 + 1/8"
Length (front neckline to hem): 27 + 7/8"
Sleeves are very subtle puff sleeves.

First 4 pics are of the actual dress.
Pic #5 is from Sotto Boutique.

Retail: Don't remember anymore! But I think it was around $150.
Asking: $90.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

Wooden heel sandals from the Summer 2011 A.P.C. collection. Adorable, beautifully made, so classic—great for both casual & more dressed-up.

These shoes are essentially brand new & have been worn only once. Perfect condition! They come in the original A.P.C. box + they have only ever been worn one afternoon (before I realized I am not very good at walking in heels and should stick to flats!).

DETAILS:
Caramel-colored leather straps, studded on the sides.
Leather heel pad.
Rubber half sole and heel tip.
Heel height: 3.5".
Women's Size 39 (Europe) / 9 (US).

Retail: originally purchased from A.P.C. for $310.
Asking: $230.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks!

*Reduced/Relist*: DUSEN DUSEN Nordic Print Silk Button Up Top, Size L / $150


Posted on behalf of Lauren.

This blouse is one of the favorite pieces from Brooklyn-based designer Ellen Van Dusen's FALL 2011 DUSEN DUSEN line, & it's sold out everywhere. I myself looked high & low to find this blouse after I feel in love with it! Unfortunately, I realized it's just a bit too big for me (I have narrow shoulders).

Never worn, absolutely brand new, tags still attached.

Blousy/boxy, VERY flattering fit. Best for someone who is an 8/10 on top. "Nordic" navy/slate blue with black geometric print. So cute!

100% silk with wooden buttons.

(pics on top from DusenDusen.com + Totokaelo; last 2 pics of actual blouse)
Retail: I purchased it in September for $180.
Asking: $150.

Ends on February 13, 2012.

No 6. Clog Boots Black size 37 (reduced)







*Posted on behalf of Xing*

Brand new, never worn (not even around the house) pair of No. 6 15" Nappa Shearling boots.They are black in colour and very very very soft. These currently retail at $420 (not inclusive of tax!) on No.6 official website. It says "This boot is one of our leather shearlings and has matching fur lining. It is slightly thinner and smother than the aviator shearling. It is water repellent, great for foul weather and best enjoyed barefoot." I bought them at the No. 6 store in NYC thinking that I would one day lose my chunky calves to be able to fit into them but have realised that that is never going to happen in this lifetime. They come in the original box, cardboard shoe tree that came with it when I first got it. Doesn't come with the No.6 paper bag though.

Size: 37 (I'm usually a 36 or 36.5 in other shoes. No.6 recommends going 1 size up); good for size 6.

Condition: Brand new (never worn, not outdoors, not indoors, not ever. my calves won't allow it)

Original price: 420 excluding tax ($457 including if my mental calculation is correct)

Asking for: $350 + Shipping (was $400 + Shipping). Paypal only.

Listing ends February 20, 2012.
