J.Crew Snowbound Puffer Coat in Navy, XXS






This is a JCrew Snowbound Puffer coat that I bought at the end of winter in 2012, then never really wore much.  It's a lovely down coat that is NOT too shiny, puffy or noisy, and I love the soft lambswool collar.  Selling because I need to make room for more babywearing-friendly coats now that I have a little one.  

description and pics (of a different color) are still on the Jcrew website though the coat is long sold out: https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/outerwear/jcrewcollection/PRDOVR~54270/54270.jsp

description from J. Crew:
Stay sleek with this slim-silhouetted take on the traditional puffer coat. Carefully crafted in highly water-resistant fabric and finished with military-inspired touches, including a removable sherpa-lined collar for extra-blustery days, it's the perfect piece for adding that rugged-chic element we love. Down-filled cotton/nylon. Snap closure. Long sleeves. Patch pockets with snap closure. Hits at midthigh. Import. Machine wash. Online only.

material: cotton/nylon.  The cotton means it is not shiny, nor is it swishy sounding like many down coats.  stuffed with down,  lambswool collar
color: navy outer, brown wool collar
size: XXS (I usually wear a size 0 or petite 0 or 2 in Jcrew for reference) and this fit perfectly, even with a sweater underneath (though a super bulky sweater would probably have been tight in the sleeves)

paid: around $200 i think
asking: $75 plus $5 shipping to continental US

Steven Alan Sydney Blouse





First two photos are mine, and the last (pink) one is from the website to give a better idea of what the blouse is like.

I bought this top from Steven Alan's website awhile back. I loved the woven fabric print and even though they didn't have it in my size, I thought possibly a small would fit (learned my lesson, I'm always a medium, no matter what). So my loss is your gain. It's made from nice woven cotton. Not your typical oxford stripe fabric, it has this little square embroidery-type design. 

Size small
Retails $198
Paid $100
Selling price $80 (w/ shipping to the US, $5 extra to Canada for shipping and insurance)

Leave your e-mail below and if any questions, comment and I'll reply.


Thanks.

L.L. Bean Women's Bean Boots 8" Goretex/Thinsulate - Size 7 (fits like an 8)




Classic 8" L.L. Bean Bean Boots with Thinsulate insulation and GoreTex lining. Women's size 7B, but fits like a generous 8. I'm typically an 8-8.5 and can wear these comfortably with super thick socks. See the description on the LL Bean website.

Purchased new 3 years ago and have been worn on-and-off in the winters (but only when it snowed or rained) These boots have been broken in. There are some scuffs on the rubber and creases and a few stains in the leather (see last pic). Otherwise the boot is in good condition--no smells, holes, or rips. The soles still have a great deal of traction on them.

These boots sell out at LL Bean each year. Currently, they're backordered until January 29th. I'm only selling these because I already have another pair of Bean Boots that I wear more often.

Selling for $85 (includes domestic USPS shipping).
Listing ends 11/5.
