New Anna Sui for Anthropologie Silk Blouse, Size 12 [SOLD]





Anna Sui for Anthropologie silk blouse. Size 12. This top has one of the cutest prints I've ever seen: Off-white deer amongst leafy teal and amber trees on a navy background. The construction is great, too. Short sleeves, inset waist gives a slight babydoll effect, gathers at front and back waist. 100% silk outer fully lined in black polyester. Back closure has two fabric-covered buttons and a small zip at center. New with tags and one extra button. I fell in love with the print but have come to realize that this is just too large for me. Please give it a good home!

[SOLD] Vintage Levi's Denim Jacket with Blanket Lining



Item: Vintage Levi's Denim Jacket with Blanket Lining 
Color/material: lightly broken in denim + navajo blanket lining 
Size: unisex medium, which would fit someone who normally wears a women's S-M (4-8) nicely. 
Condition: excellent vintage condition
Asking: $45 ($40 if you're in the northeast), which includes USPS priority shipping to anywhere in the USA
Listing ends: Friday, October 12th
I looked for a long time to find a nicely broken in Levi's denim jacket with a blanket pattern lining and was pleased as punch when I found this one. Unfortunately, instead of just being slouchy and oversized in a cool way on me, it's just too big. If you're taller than I am (5'4"), you will probably have a better time pulling it off even if you wear an XS-S. It's heavy, so the price reflects the expensive shipping cost as well. 

Wiksten Handmade Necklace [SOLD]


Awesome handmade necklace by Jenny Gordy of Wiksten. Three purple wool felt balls on a cord. All parts of the necklace are soft and feel great against the skin. Lightweight, too. Cord has a 16.5" in drop but can be tied to a shorter length. Third model photo courtesy of Jenny's blog; more can be found here. In excellent condition.

Asking $25, including US shipping (a bit more to Canada). Listing ends in one week. Please comment only if you're truly interested and remember to leave your email. Thanks!

Chan Luu Wrap Bracelet, O/S



Lovely Chan Luu wrap bracelet! Three rows of gunmetal grey nuggets strung on chartreuse cotton cord -- a great color combo that accents neutrals, blacks, navies. Sterling silver button closure. Very comfortable to wear as construction is flexible. Length is variable because there are two length settings (7", 8"). Width is just shy of 3/4". In excellent condition -- only worn once or twice. I just can't do bracelets these days!

Asking $40, including US shipping (a bit more to Canada). Listing ends in one week. Please comment only if you're truly interested and remember to leave your email. Thanks!

Long tassel necklace by AK Vintage. Chains of varying length form fringe "pendant" that looks really cool when worn. Clever closure functions like a push-button snap. Necklace portion has about 13" drop; tassel portion measures 3.5-4." In like-new condition -- never worn.

Rachel Comey Barbaro Boot, 8




Rachel Comey Barbaro Bootie, Black nubuck, size 8.

These ankle boots are so comfortable, easy to wear and go with everything (dresses, pants, skirts, etc.). As you can see, these shoes show usual signs of wear--creases near the toe, there is scuffing and fading on the heels, but because of the shape of the heel, it's hard to see when you are wearing them. They have been resoled and sprayed with leather protectant. They still have many years of wear ahead of them! Comes with dustbag.

Purchased in November 2010 from Bird for around $350.
Selling for $175 (domestic USPS priority shipping included, will cost extra for shipping outside of the US)
Please leave your email in the comments only if you are truly committed to buying this item.
