Isabel Marant Parisian Asymmetrical Dress Size 2





Ethereal layered muslin cotton dress. This is the Isabel Marant line and not Etoile. This is a french size 2 which translates to a medium/6. I am generally an XS/S and this fit pretty good, not as fitted as i wanted it to be around the bust area but it is not meant to be a fitted dress anyways. It is of medium weight due to all its layering.
Beautiful mint color. Many intricate details. Knee length dress for the most part, asymmetry in front may past the knees, but may be slightly shorter if you're over 5' 4". This can also be an option for a simple summer wedding dress. Rare find! Please excuse the wrinkles, you can really see it from the side view photo. With ironing it will return back to its smooth, light look.

Bought at: Nida in San Francisco
Paid: $600 plus tax
Asking: $350 includes shipping

{SOLD} frye paige tall boots - 6.5B

[SOLD]Vintage Cherry Red Keds, size 8.5

congrats, Zoe!





Another lovely pair of shoes that I have been holding on to that aren't my size... in super condition, the insoles don't even look like they have been worn, but there is a bit of color on the sole, as seen in the picture. I have never seen a pair of keds with leather detailing, and decided to purchase them hoping they would fit, even though they are a size larger than I usually wear. Sadly they are a little big for me.
Size: marked 8.5. these would best fit an 8 to 8.5 (vintage shoes tend to run a bit small compared to current sizing).
Materials: Cotton canvas, with dark tan leather laces and details. Color in 2nd photo is most accurate.
Paid: $40 + shipping on ebay
Asking: $20 + shipping
Listing ends: April 6, random drawing to select recipient.

[RELIST] Talula denim trench coat, XS







The item: Talula brand (from Aritzia - a great Canadian jeans/fashion store) dark blue denim trench coat. I know this isn't a super high end designer brand, but the coat is really well-made and in excellent condition, and it seemed like an item people might be interested in. It's a great fit and has very flattering lines. Perfect for spring!

This has been hanging in a garment bag in my closet, unworn, for a while now. I'm not entirely sure why, I just seem to always grab other coats first.

Size: XS
collar to bottom hem: 36"
shoulder to shoulder: 13.5"
armpit to armpit: 15.5"
arm length: 23.5"

* the coat is missing a button but there are extra buttons sewn inside, so can be easily replaced [UPDATE: I have sewn on the replacement button, people :) ].

I also seem to have misplaced the denim tie belt. Personally I think the coat looks even better with a regular buckle belt, which I've modeled in the photos (not included), or can be worn open.

Paid: I can't even remember... probably in the vicinity of $100-150.
Was Asking: $35 + $12 shipping to Canada or USA (a bit bulky when rolled or folded).
NOW Asking: $25 + $12 shipping

Listing ends: April 7th. Please leave your email in the comments section and I will choose a winner at random. Thanks!

[relist, lower price] Martin Margiela MM6 Wool Navy Bomber



Amazing MM6 (Martin Margiela) dark navy wool bomber jacket. I bought this from Bird in Brooklyn for my sister, but she says it's not her style. It's a tiny bit big for me, otherwise I would keep it!

Navy blue wool blend (80% wool, 20% nylon), midweight, silver hardware, zipfront, two front pockets and an additional zip pocket at the breast. Fully lined in a soft fleecy material. It has this really interesting detail that almost makes it look like a vest over a jacket. New with tag from Bird; no imperfections whatsoever.

Bust: 19
Shoulders: 16.5
Length: 22

I think this will fit a 2 or a 4.

Asking: (was $170) now $155, includes shipping in the US.

Sorry for my terrible pictures! I can provide additional photos if you are interested. Listing ends on April 10. Thank you!

[relist, lower price] Gorgeous Hype silk blouse, size xs




This is a fantastic silk blouse by Hype. It is steel blue with a leaf pattern cream with accents of crimson, pale green, and tan. There is a very striking bright poppy trim around the waist and neckline, and ruffle trim at the sleeves. My friend who was with me when I bought this pointed out that Lorelei from Gilmore Girls wore this blouse on the show (I don't know if that's good or bad, but it didn't stop me from buying the top!). There is also a drawstring through the waist that ties in the back so you can cinch it tighter if desired. Sidezip. 100% silk.
There is a tiny spot on front of the blouse that I have tried to capture in the third picture. I can barely see it and I am pretty sure it will come out with a cleaning, but I wanted to mention it anyway. Otherwise in excellent condition.
Bust: 17
High waist (at the trim): 12.5 - 13

Paid: ? I remember this wasn't on sale, so I guess it was probably around $160 or $175.
Asking: was $45, now $35, includes shipping to the US.
Listing ends: April 10.

Sam Edelman "Colette" Orange Leather Ballet Slingback Flats Size 7


These are a gorgeous pair of Sam Edelman leather sling-back ballet flats. They're called the "Colette" and have beautiful snakeskin embossed detail on its genuine leather. Perforated detail on front. Awesome trademark leopard print lining on inside of the shoe.
Beautiful bright orange color with gold detail, gorgeous color of the spring/summer! (color on top photo with flash is most accurate).
Elasticized slingback heel strap.Fabric lining, cushioned footbed and flat traction rubber sole make these adorable flats incredibly comfortable!
Unfortunately a tad small for me (I'm usually a 38, these could go up half a size due to the elastic strap and round toe. Would best fit a US 7-7.5.)
Have been tried on once, in excellent like-new condition.
Paid $99+tax.

Asking: $25+ shipping ($10 to Canada, $12 to US)
These ship without box.
If interested, leave contact information in Contacts section. Paypal preferred. Thanks!

Jay Godfrey black dress w/ zippers, sz. 4





(please refer to C and R photos)

This listing is for a new-with-tag, smashing black shift dress adorned with zippers in front and back by Canadian designer Jay Godfrey; it is from his Spring 2008 collection. It was purchased at Intermix over a year ago and still has not found the right occasion for a debut - in part because it is a tad loose on me, but also because my social life, such as it is, does not call for even this rather tame level of "edgy." It is a classic LBD but the zippers make it tough and interesting.

size: US size 4
material: 93% silk, 7% lycra
measurements: bust: 16.5", length: 36"
style details: down the back zip, deep scoop back, hits just above the knee
condition: brand new with tag; never worn
paid: ~$119 on sale from Intermix ($459 retail)
asking: $80 with shipping (PayPal/shipping to US only, via USPS Priority Mail)
listing end date: April 10, 2010 - random drawing from replies
