Missibaba handmade, handpainted leather clutch






I bought this gorgeous clutch a few weeks ago on the (unfortunately named) Deep Dark Africa bigcartel shop ... not realizing that it is a clutch rather than a wallet, as they labelled it. I suppose if I had paid attention to the measurements I would have realized what I was getting myself into, but I was too obsessed with finding a replacement wallet worthy of the discontinued Makr wallet whose theft in June I am still mourning (again, if anyone knows where to find one ... or wants to sell me theirs? ... taking offers).

You can see more pictures, measurements and details on the Missibaba etsy store (where they smartly describe it as a clutch): http://www.etsy.com/listing/78410885/wild-west-clutch-in-pink-and-coral.

material:
outside - smooth leather painted black and beige
inside - luscious blue soft sueded nubuck - these pictures DO NOT do it justice. The nubuck interior is so.amazing. every time I peek at it I decide not to sell this ...

there are two main pocket areas, an outer pocket and an inner pocket, as you can see from the pics, with one flap for each pocket and sturdy snaps to hold the flaps in place.

paid: $143 with shipping
asking: $90 incl. shipping within continental u.s. (let me know if you are somewhere else!)

thanks! serious commenters only.

NWT Nadinoo SS11 Fleur's Summer Breeze Skirt

(first two photos from Nadinoo webshop, the last is mine, just so you know I have the piece!)

I bought this Nadinoo skirt about two months ago, at which point I thought I could pull off maxi skirts, but at my height I really can't (or maybe I just can't pull off the style...). Since the label doesn't accept returns, I've kept it in my closet with the tags on, thinking I'd shorten it or it would suddenly look better on me. BUT neither of those things have happened, and since I'm in major need of cash, up on LoGE it goes! At any rate, the original listing for the skirt in the Nadinoo shop can be found here. It's meant to be worn high-waisted (but really, with the elastic waist can be worn lower), hits below the knees, and has elastic in the back of the waist (seen in the third photo). AND it has pockets! More deets:

Label: Nadinoo, SS11 collection

Material: Cotton, Liberty print fabric

Color: a creme Liberty print (see the second photo for a detail of the print)

Size: Small (the original listing also says: UK 10 US 6 EU 38)...I would say it could also fit a Medium

Price Paid: around $220 (125 GBP + shipping)

Price Asking: $170 (including domestic shipping...the difference for international shipping can be added)

Listing Ends: August 11th

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Striped Shirt, S/M



Posting for Karen


Size is S (but can definitely fit a size M)

I bought this a while ago, can't remember how much it was (I think it was around $30). I am asking $22 (includes shipping to the US).

This top is pretty much new, I've worn it only once. It has black and white stripes, starting out thicker from the top and getting thinner towards the bottom. The top shoulder of the shirt features white laces which can be loosened/tightened. The sleeve of the shirt also has a small pocket with the RLL logo in gold stitching and anchors.

Please comment and leave your name + email if you're interested!

Michael by Michael Kors Top, Size S/P


Posting for Karen

I can't remember how much I bought this for, but I believe it was somewhere around $35, I'm asking $20 (includes shipping in the US).

This is a pretty sleeveless top, featuring bronze beading along the neckline. This is an excellent top for those summer days! I've only worn it once so it's pretty much new!

NEW Stewart + Brown Knit Skirt




Stewart + Brown knit skirt with pockets in superfine Merino wool. Such a beautiful basic, but it is too big for me and couldn't be returned because it was on sale. This definitely needs to go to someone who will wear it. The skirt would transition well from work to play, and it is incredibly comfortable! Color of second picture is more representative.

with lots of stretch

Purchased for $98 + shipping

Calypso St. Barth Kaftan, Size M


Posting for Karen

New with tags!

I bought this when it was on sale for $50, and I'm asking for $25 (includes shipping in the US).

This is a lovely, sheer top, good as a coverup during the summer when you're hanging out on the beach! This is perfect resort wear! I bought it for a vacation that didn't happen this year, it has never been worn. It has long bell sleeves and a slight vee opening at the top. It is made out of 100% cotton and has a flowery print on it. The color is a tomato reddish color. The label is Virginia Witbeck but it was bought at Calypso.

AG The New Legend Jeans Size 24
New With Tags
Retailed for $159- I paid this much.

I LOVE these jeans! Ag's are some of the best made jeans out there and these are no exception! The only problem for me is when I bought these jeans I was "hoping to fit into them" which hasn't happened so I need to get rid of them because they make me sad to look at because they are so pretty! Laying flat these jeans measure (approx.) 13.5" at waist, 8" at thigh, 9.5" leg opening and 34" inseam.
** The stock photo is just to show the fit of these jeans, they are not the same color as the stock photo. They are the color that is represented in the other photos, which I took.

Marc Jacobs Floral Sequin Dress






Posted on behalf of Eliza.  Please email elizakate1 at hotmail with any questions!

Marc Jacobs Floral Sequin Dress
Size 4
New With Tags
Retailed for $2,900
This is an authentic Marc Jacobs dress. If I recall right, this dress is from 2009? It is a white material with light grey floral. There are light purple sequins at the waist and go all the way to the bottom of the dress. You can see the floral through the sequins making the flowers look a darker purple. At the bust, the material is sewn into a bow. First of all, i cannot believe I have never worn this dress! It is stunning, I have just come to realize that it is too stunning for a mother with small children and chocolate on their hands. This dress measures (approx. laying flat) 15.5" at bust, 15" where sequins begin, 17" at hip, and 42" in total length. This dress has been stored at the back of my closet in a mens suit bag, it has not seen dust or dirt. Like I said before, this dress is AUTHENTIC Marc Jacobs, it was purchased at Neiman Marcus and still has the Neiman marcus tag attatched. It retailed for $2,900 but I bought it on final sale for $1,015.00. I bought this dress right before the sticky chocolate hands came into play and have been looking for a time to wear it but just haven't so its time to let it go.
The first photo is the only photo I could find online where you can actually see what the dress looks like on. I took the rest of the pictures and would be happy to provide more!
I am asking $400 OBO + shipping. I would love to find this dress a new home where it can be loved like it should be so if you have an offer please feel free to send it to me!

'Brea' Camera Bag by 3.1 Phillip Lim


Posted on behalf of Catilin.  Email her at caitlin.shannahan at gmail with any questions!

This is the "Brea" camera bag by 3.1 Phillip Lim in black leather - there are two different blacks which you can see in the photos - I think this is the nicest version of this bag and it is impossible to find now. I bought it on a whim and it has never been used, I just have been continuing to use a tote bag:) It comes with its dust bag as well. I bought it on sale for $380 from ssense, but I would be happy to sell it for $300 with $10 shipping to the US (I am happy to ship outside the US but the price would have to be increased a little bit). It is super roomy, and has a lot of exterior pockets as well. There is an adjustable shoulder strap and two top handles. Ships from Brooklyn New York after 8/8/11. Thank you!

*reduced/relist* NEW Mociun Shasat Dress






This is a beautiful Mociun dress featuring Casbah print that has never been worn. It really deserves to go to someone who will wear it in style! The dress is quite flattering in the waist, and the beautiful pop of black and white Argon print in the pockets presents a unique contrast. Very cute and practical for summer. A stunning print and a true work of art. New without tags.
