[SOLD] Les Prairies de Paris "Matchstick" Striped Flats from Anthropologie


Item: Les Prairies de Paris "Matchstick" Striped Flats
Color/material: Navy blue suede and leather stripes

Size: size 36 (runs true to size), fits a true 6
Condition: brand new without box, but with minor scuffing on soles due to being tried on in the store
Retail: originally sold at Anthropologie and retailed for $298, I bought them on sale for around $120
Asking: $35, which includes USPS priority shipping to anywhere in the USA
Listing ends: First come, first serve.

When I first saw these in the Anthropologie catalog a few years ago, they looked so charming and versatile and cute. When I saw the lone pair in the store in the exact color and size I wanted, I couldn't help it, I had to have them, especially because they were on sale. They were so dainty and pretty. Unfortunately, they didn't get as much wear as I thought--I'm more of a loafers/oxfords kind of gal and don't wear ballet flats that often and these have been collecting dust ever since. Time to let go and find them a new home!

[SOLD] Old Navy Trench Coat - Navy Blue XS

Item: Old Navy double-breasted trench coat
Color/material: navy blue with bright pink lining, thick weather-resistant cotton
Size: XS, fits true to size
Condition: worn but in excellent condition
Retail: $40, which I paid
Asking: $20, which includes USPS priority shipping to anywhere in the USA.
Listing ends: First come first serve!
In my hunt for the perfect trench coat, I ended up buying several and now am trying to get rid of all of them but one. This one from Old Navy is great for fall/spring weather and has a waist tie, side slant pockets, and a buttoned back vent. Very classic shape and hits above the knee/almost mid-thigh on me (I am 5'3").

[SOLD] A.P.C. Navy Sherpa-Lined Parka Coat

Item: A.P.C. Parka
Color/material: Dark navy blue, thick weather-resistant cotton with a cozy off-white sherpa lining
Size: Petite, which is the A.P.C. equivalent of an XS, fits true to size
Condition: brand new with tags from Barneys Co-op
Retail: $530, I paid $351 on sale
Asking: $250, which includes USPS priority shipping to anywhere in the USA.
Listing ends: First come first serve!
I am really struggling with letting this go, but I just moved into my new apartment and have been reorganizing my closet and realized that I already have 4 navy blue coats, which is totally unnecessary. This has all of APC's beautiful simplicity but with lots of features that I look for in a Parka: removable inner lining, chest pockets, adjustable hood, drawstrings at the waist and hem with leather stoppers, a zipper and button closure. All in all, it's pretty perfect, so somebody please want it before I change my mind...
It is completely sold out on the APC website right now, where it was on sale for $371. But you can still see the website for their description/pictures.

[SOLD] Steven Alan Band Leader Blazer -- Size 6




Congrats, Julie!

New Year's closet cleaning....

Description: Steven Alan "Band Leader" blazer in size 6. Dark navy, fine weave wool (like gabardine suiting material). Cropped body and sleeves. Slight shoulder pads. Beautiful seaming in back for perfect shape and fit. One button closure. Fully lined in lighter blue, chambray-like material. Perfect thrown over little frocks -- the fine material allows you to wear this more like a dressy cardigan. [Last photo is from Net-a-Porter. My jacket has a tonal button, not a white one.]

SOLD!! Steven Alan cashmere bonnet/hat



Just found this in a drawer. I remember buying it-- it cost in the region of $100. I wore it for one season and then forgot I had it. If anybody wants it, you can have it for $10, plus $5 for US Shipping.

100% cashmere
royal blue
Can fasten at nape of neck or under chin.
Great for the big-haired ladies (a "hat" that won't ruin your up-do!)

First come, first served

SOLD!! Vintage Mod wool cape-- small



It's so hard to give this up!! Apologies for the awful photos (iphone).

I bought this last year at a vintage store for around $80-$90. Wore it only once.

Label: "Raymond of London," Made in England.
Composition: 100% heavy-weight wool, completely lined in scarlet silky stuff.
Measurements: shoulders 16 inches; length 33 inches. Would be a good fit for anybody on the small spectrum.
Condition: Excellent! It even has two spare original buttons still sewn into the hem. The armholes could use a little reinforcing, but that's the only flaw I could find.

Asking: $35, plus $10 for US shipping.

New Express Charcoal Blazer Size 2


My impulsive buy is your gain. I bought this simple and classy Express Design Studio charcoal suit top/blazer on sale a year ago although a size 2 is usually big on me. I figured it may not be too bad in the winter over sweaters, but it's a little too big around the chest and just looks big on me! So this is brand new, never worn, but without tags. This suit has a black lining on the back and sides, and a white and gray striped lining in the sleeves.

I'm asking for $30 + $7 shipping and tracking. If memory serves me right, the original price of this blazer was $99, but I bought it for $49.99.

First person to respond to this posting with your paypal email address gets this blazer.

I'm travelling for work Monday through Friday of this week, so I can have this mailed out first thing Saturday morning.

Dr Martens T-Strap Style 8065 Brown Shoes US 7/ UK 5

First off, here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

This is my first post so I apologize if I miss out on any important information. This pair of Dr. Martens are super cute and hard to find. They are originals, Made in England, leather uppers with air cushion man made soles. They have one strap going down the center and two across with brass buckles. They are a little tight for me, and I've only worn them three times (twice outdoors and once indoors to try and break them in). So after a year of them sitting in my closet and my moving homes in May, I have decided to sell them. These shoes are a US 7/ UK 5 and will be shipped in the original box (although the box is a little tattered). These shoes are slightly darker than what appears in the pictures because of the flash and the two scuffs are barely noticeable but the flash tends to show them more in the pictures.

How much? I bought these for $92 online but am asking for $42 + shipping and tracking ($15)
First person to respond with your paypal email address for payment gets these super cute shoes.

Other information: I will be travelling for work Monday through Friday of this week so the shoes will be mailed out first thing Saturday morning.

Bensimon limited edition tennis sneakers 37






I bought these in France and accidentally bought one size smaller than I needed, which I feel really bummed about. I've worn them outside once for short walk and they are just too small for me, they would fit a size 6 or 6.5. Great condition and really cute, I've not seen this style anywhere in the US yet. I will wash them before I send them out (you can easily just through these shoes in the washing machine), comes with original plastic dust bag. I have 5 pairs of these and they are just amazing!

Asking $40 including shipping, paid $70
