Miu Miu snake skin pointy low heel flats NEW 36.5

I can't believe this: as I was packing for my move, I found *another* bag of shoes that should be given away.

These are Miu Miu snakeskin flats with a 1 inch heel. Brand new, no scuffs or wear on sole.

They are an Italian size 36.5. True to size. I had a pair of these in black, once upon a time. They require a week to wear in, but despite the high cut they're quite comfortable when worn in.

Someone who wears a 36 could also wear this with an insole.

I am looking for someone to give them to -- the shipping + packaging will be $13.

Hope someone can enjoy these!

Brand New Black Grey Ant Shirt Dress Sz 0

This is a brand new shirt dress by Grey Ant. Sz 0 with mandarin collar, detachable tie/scarf around neck, tie at waist, 3/4 length sleeve. Pleating details on shoulder and back are exquisite. Inverted pleat in back. It is made of incredible, soft cotton -- a cotton that is both soft and structured at once. The fabric is my favorite thing about this dress.

Why I'm giving this up: I ordered it from OAK NYC this past fall -- during a phase when I really, really hoped I could pull off wearing leggings. It turns out that I just don't do so well with leggings.. I decided, ultimately, like the Burberry shirt dress I listed below that the length doesn't work for me, and I'm not a big fan of wearing leggings, so someone else ought to have it.

I think it is also designed for someone taller than me (I'm 5'4") with more assertive shoulders.

Size: 0 - but because of the pleats in the shoulder and bust and tie at waist, could accommodate up to a size 4

Material: very soft, structured cotton.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Bust: 18"
Shoulders: 15.5"
Waist: 17.5" (max) -- tie at waist
Sleeve length: 18"
Length: 37" in front; longer in back -- 39" to cover backside. Sides come up to 28" so leggings or jeans should be worn underneath.

Condition: brand new with tags

Paid: $341 - I paid $250

Asking: $140 (including shipping) I am asking a bit more than normal for this because it is in perfect condition with tags and is such a classic, cool design and is very right for Fall '09. I'm also having a hard time parting with it -- the quality really is extraordinary.

Sporty, Small Leather Miu Miu Bag

Hi all,

This is a cute, old-ish, sporty leather Miu Miu bag. There is an interior pocket with a pull. Closes with a magnetic button. Embossed discreetly with "Miu Miu" on the exterior.

Materials: Leather with canvas trim. Metal rings. Lined in nylon.

Why I'm getting rid of it: just cleaning closet, that's all.

Condition: slight scratches on right side of exterior (see last photo.) The white trim has yellowed a tad. The inside is pristine.

Measurements: 10" x 5.5" x 2" Handle drop: 12" It's small -- would fit a wallet, keys and phone. Just fine for a night out.

What I paid: ?? but it was at Neiman Marcus and was probably too much.

What I'm asking: $15 + $5 shipping.

Thomas Burberry (from Burberry boutique) tunic shirt dress sz XS

This is a tunic shirt-dress from Thomas Burberry -- Burberry's secondary line. I bought it at a Burberry boutique in Spain last summer. (belt is not included)

Why I'm giving this up: This tunic shirt-dress is sheer enough that you'll have to wear leggings with it. I thought long and hard about this one because I could alter it into a shirt. I decided, ultimately, that the length doesn't work for me, and I'm not a big fan of wearing leggings, so someone else ought to have it.

It's too bad because the light cotton fabric is great for summer and the pink/brown pin-stripe pattern is especially nice.

Size: XS

Material: very soft, semi-sheer cotton.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Bust: 20.5"
Shoulders: 15"
Length: 31.5" in front; longer in back -- 36" to cover backside. Looks good belted, so could be worn shorter.

Condition: I have worn this exactly once and washed it once (on low, hung to dry.) The fabric is supposed to be linen-like and soft, not crisp.

Paid: $220 yikes.

Asking: $40 + $5 shipping

Strapless Pintuck pleated with lace trim top Sz XS or S

The tag says MNG Suit -- I take that it's from Mango. I must have purchased this when I worked in South America, where Mango is a popular store.

Why I'm giving this up: It's a little too big for me. Also, trying to accomplish a major closet purge. This is a great casual summer top. Has elastic in band around bust and at waist so it can be adjusted to fit a wide-ish range of sizes.

Size: the label says XS, but I think it could fit a size up.

Material: very soft cotton. Body is cotton and lyocell blend.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Bust: 16.5" (elastic band stretches from 16" to 17", really)
Waist: 14" - 19" (elastic band at waist)
Length: 21"; however, can be adjusted to fall higher on waist.

Condition: Brand new -- the tag is still on.

Paid: According to the tag, I paid $45 USD for this top.

Asking: $12 (including shipping)

Original Helmut Lang Jean Jacket circa 1998 Brand New, Never Worn

Helmut Lang Denim Jacket, designed by Helmut Lang circa 1998. Never worn. Production date on tag. I folded the cuff up in the photo to show one way to wear the sleeve. Two pockets on the front.

Made in Italy.

About this jacket: I bought this from the Helmut Lang boutique on Greene Street, NYC in 1998. Is more "shapely" than "boxy" and features shirt-like styling.

Why I'm giving this up: I have a jacket "problem." This is an exquisitely made jacket I think deserves to be enjoyed and definitely looks cool now. I am also moving to an apartment in which I'll have less closet space.

Size: 38 (Size XS)

Material: 100% cotton denim. My recommendation for washing is to wear it until it's more dirty than you're comfortable with. Then dry clean, only (twice a year, max.) This is my favorite way to wear in raw denim. The results are incredible.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Bust: 18"
Length: 23"
Sleeve: 24"

Condition: Mint, never worn.

Paid: I remember paying in the low $200s for it back in 1998!

Asking: $50 + $8 shipping

There are princess seams front and back, and a zipper that runs the length of the left side.

Vena Cava Black Grosgain Bronze Beaded Necklace

This one goes to Becky! Thanks for all the interest!




Vena Cava necklace from one of their early seasons. It's made of a pleated black grosgrain ribbon that's 1.5" thick. There's all different kinds of bronze-colored ornaments sewn on. The clasp is metal, large, and chunky. It's mainly decorative, so there's an additional spring clasp underneath. This is definitely a unique statement piece!

Inner circumference is 15"

I've worn this once or twice, and I'm letting it go because it's a little overpowering on my very petite frame.

Costs:
Paid ~$50, asking $30, includes shipping.
