Rachel Comey Low Tide Dress, Size Medium [SOLD]




Elegant Rachel Comey "Low Tide" Sailor dress in solid black. This is a workhorse of a dress, perfect for work or play. Sleeves are a slight balloon shape with gorgeous seaming and banded cuff details. Functional buttons all the way down the front. Soft leather belt in cognac fastens with D rings. 100% rayon fabric has slight texture and drapes beautifully. Taped French seams throughout. Sailor collar in back. Easy, relaxed fit. Best for size 6-8 (please see measurements below). In excellent condition. I wore this exactly one time. FYI: I did cut off the original string belt loops because they hit too low for my taste; the belt stays on perfectly without them and you absolutely do not notice the loops are missing. Made in Manhattan.

Waist: 20"
Overall length: 37"

Originally $450+. Asking $155, including US shipping with tracking (a bit more to Canada). Listing ends one week from today. Please leave your email in your comment!

Funky and upcycled vintage cocktail dress.  This used to be a much longer dress but it was shortened by the retailer to give it a modern edge.  Purchased at Deliciously Vintage in Chicago, which is no more.  I've worn this dress twice and it is in excellent vintage condition.  The perfect dress for a cocktail party or formal event.  Features beautiful beading at the waist band, tulip pleats, and lots of visual interest and texture up top.

Measurements
36" bust (with some give)
16" shoulders
30" waist
36" hips
31" from shoulder to hem

Asking $40 with US shipping included.  Paypal only.   If you're interested in a picture of this dress on an actual human being (myself) please e-mail nikoshkopa{at}.com

Zeha Berlin: Blue Suede Oxford (40) *reduced*




*posted on behalf of Heather*

I'm bananas for this maker: boyish, refined, super duper high quality.  Literally just purchased these from Lambs Ear Shoes, and the description from their website: "Four hole oxford lace up, blunt tapered toe with full brogue edges, back seam detail stitching and stacked heel. Beautiful royal blue suede."  The royal blue color of this oxford is exclusive to Lambs Ear.  Unfortunately their sizing notes were a little off for me and I did not end up with the right size; since these were on sale they are not returnable.  These are a 40 and unless you have ultra, ultra skinny feet, these are really a 9, trending toward a 8.5.  This is a shoe that will last you a lifetime!  They are brand spanking new, some very minor minor wear to the bottoms from tramping around my house trying to convince myself that these actually fit.

They are just between 10.5 and 10.75 at the longest point of the interior insole. They are narrow though, so unless you have extremely slender feet I would round down on this! 

Paid: $221 (originally $442) + shipping
Asking: $195 $180 (includes shipping with delivery confirmation to all lower 48)

Listing ends in one week, please feel free to send any questions to heat_er_girlie AT yahoo dot come (remove underscores) or feel free to post your question in the comments.

Rachel Comey Rufus Clog size 9.5 - Carmelo *reduced*




*posted on behalf of Heather*

No surprise, these are stunning - so well made, impeccable styled, and even with the platform and rise, extremely comfortable. I pretty much hike through the woods to work though, so have realized that these gems are going to be box bound if they stay with me. Here's the description from Pour Porter: "Super comfortable, heeled buckle clog shoe. The Rufus is the latest addition to Rachel Comey's classic clog styles. Shoe features bumper toe with stitching detail, wooden bottom, and adjustable monk strap buckle." I am a size 9 and opted for the 9.5 since some folks reported that these run a little small/narrow, but I think they are true to size as I ended up having to put an insole into the 9.5. They have been worn twice, they are basically brand new (these will be mailed in the original box), although there is one tiny abrasion to the leather on the buckle of the left shoe (smaller than a pencil eraser). Note that the leather has some inherent imperfections here and there, you can see this in a few of the photos from the Pour Porter website (you can still see more these through a google image search).


Paid: $410 + an arm and a leg in shipping
Asking: $185  $160 (includes shipping with delivery confirmation to all lower 48)

Michael Kors Yellow loafers, sz 7






*posted on behalf of Vilma*
I bought these shoes last spring and have worn them only a few times, which is why I decided that they need a better home. They are made of very soft, mustard yellow leather; the color can be seen more clearly in one of the pictures (I apologize for the abysmal pictures I took on my mac...I don't have a digital camera). Only been worn a few times, but there is a bit of wear on the inside soles, which is visible in the pictures.  Because the leather is so soft, there won't be much of a "breaking in" phase. They have a 1/2 heel and are slightly padded on the inside for extra comfort. Fit a sz 6.5 or 7.

Paid: ~$130, regular-priced
Asking: $50, plus $5 shipping

A.P.C. Dress Size M




On offer: a great A.P.C. dress, size M. I never wear it, so it's time to find a loving new home for it! The dress has little spaghetti straps that are fastened together at the 'highest' point, so they don't slip off your shoulder. It closes with three little buttons at the back. It's all cotton, apart from the metallic little stripes.
Only worn once or twice, the dress is in fantastic condition.


Paid: around 100 euro

Asking: $40 + $10 for shipping

NWOT: Humanoid Khaki Blouse Size M (fits like S/M)


On offer: a beautiful khaki blouse by Dutch label Humanoid. It has pockets and a ribbon through the waist, like a modern uptake on YSL's safari blouse.
I only removed the tags, and never wore it. It's time to find a loving new home for it!
The blouse is made from 50% linnen and 50% cotton. It's labeled a size M, but fits a little bit on the small side. The width under the arms is a little under 19".

Paid: about 120 euros
Asking: $50 + $10 shipping costs.

Lucchese Cowboy Boots




Beautiful pair of genuine Lucchese cowboy boots in chocolate brown with two-toned stitching.  These were my very first pair of cowboy boots and I wore them quite a bit until I got deep into my ankle boot phase.  Great leather with sturdy heels that I kept up-to-date while they were in my daily rotation.  Purchased at Alcala's, the great cowboy boot emporium in Chicago.  There is some snow damage to the front, but nothing a cobbler couldn't fix with some shoe polish.  Priced accordingly.

Size 9
Approximately 12" shaft 
Though I'm an 8, I wore these with thick socks and they were fine for me, but probably better suited for 8.5 to 9.

Asking $85 with US shipping included.  Paypal only.  Will not be shipped in original box since I no longer have it.

{SOLD!} Vintage Bomber Jacket


Rad vintage bomber-style jacket with awesome shoulder tabs.  Not sure this is leather, though it was sold to me as such.  I love the navy hue of the material and the fact that I feel like I'm in the "Beat It" video while wearing this, but I haven't worn it in quite some time!  It's time to pass this awesome vintage gem on to someone who will wear it.  Purchased from Axis of Evelyn in Chicago.  Likely men's, but I liked the oversized look of it.  In great vintage condition.

Color more aptly displayed in the second photo.

No size marked
19" shoulders
23" underarm to underarm
23" sleeves
21" long

Asking $40 with US shipping included.  Paypal only.

Loup Charmant Scoop Tank


Image of Scoop Tank :: P086

Loup Charmant Scoop Tank made of the airiest organic cotton around.  I've worn this twice under the Raglan Touring Dress and won't find myself using it now that the dress has sold.  Beautifully made, floats away from the body when worn alone, yet makes a wonderful underlay for more sheer items.  Low racerback with easy fit.

Size M
With an easy fit, recommended for M-L

Asking $30 with US shipping included.  Paypal only.

[Relist] BCBG Maxazria Black Flats size 8




Hi LOGE'rs

For your consideration, an almost new pair of BCBG Maxazria black leather flats with slightly pointed toes. I have worn these literally once. I thought these would be the replacement for my favorite pair of black flats but I just don't find myself reaching for them so time to give them up to make room for the next pair! The leather is super soft on these shoes and I was initially attracted to them because I felt like the pointedness was subtle enough to be slightly playful but elegant as well depending on what you paired them with. 

I believe these retail for about $69.95-79.95
They are yours for $50 shipping included. Paypal only, email me with any questions!

[Relist] SIGERSON MORRISON Size 8 Flats/Sandals - Lt.beige/almost ivory




Hi LOGE'rs!

For your consideration, absolutely beautiful size 8 SIGERSON MORRISON ivory/beige leather sandal-flats. These shoes have a an elegance to them that is unique to Sigerson Morrison - a little bit of flare, but not too much to allow for conservative situations and the ankle strap here makes provides a sexy edge. They can be worn 3 seasons, for sure. They just don't fit in with my wardrobe which is a shame because 1. they fit beautifully 2. they are gorgeous shoes. Truly this is a my loss your gain situation but I just can't justify the space in my closet as I have only worn these shoes a handful of times but each time I have received dozens of complements. They are that pretty. And for shoes with ankle straps, they are surprisingly comfy!

Retail - $249 (I got these on Gilt for $149)
Offering (paypal only) $75 plus 9.95 shipping
