Chloé slingback sandals, size 37




Black leather Chloé slingback sandals, size 37. Purchased from Saks Fifth Avenue in 2006, and worn fewer than 5 times since (really). I had a cobbler add a no-slip sole to the base, to protect the bottom of the shoe; heels are original and, as you can see from the third photo, are hardly worn down. The leather's in mint condition.

These are perfect and so versatile, and I'd keep them if they weren't a whole size too small on my feet. They're a basic necessity for any closet, and are great for any season - barefoot summer, with tights in winter (cute!!).

These shoes are so comfortable that I kept them, because I could technically wear them - but every time I went to put them on, I realized my toes stuck over the edge (I'm a true size 8) and it just wouldn't work. Finally giving up that my feet will ever shrink to fit, and I'm hoping someone else can appreciate them just as much!

Platform measures 0.5"
Heel measures 4.25"

Paid $618
Asking $390

Chloe cotton blazer




Chloé cotton blazer purchased from Net-A-Porter in 2006. Worn twice (really); it's beautifully cut, beautiful fabric, hangs perfectly, but it's just not my style. It's been hanging in my closet on it's original Chloe hangar since purchase. This is awesome paired with a feminine camisole or sundress.

Blazer is brown with very narrow black and white stripes. 
Lovely off-white/blue striped lining.

100% cotton

Measurements, taken laid flat:
18" at bust
27" length

Paid $1010
Asking $700 or best offer (shipped)

Isabel Marant Joris linen shirt, XS





Size XS. This is a beautiful blue, 100% linen tee from Isabel Marant. I bought it 2 weeks ago from LaGarconne, removed the tags, wore it for 2 hours, then realized it's too small for me. This size is sold out at LaGarconne.

Even though I did little more than try it on, I've gently hand washed and air-dried it. The paper Isabel Marant tag is attached by pin.

First photo is mine; second and third photos are from LaGarconne, and are more representative of the actual color of the shirt.

Paid $205 from LaGarconne
Asking $185 shipped

Into the Fields - Fieldguided Tote bag


Anabela and Geoff of Fieldguided designed a tote specifically for the Toronto storefront Robber. The tote is made with a super dark 10 ounce denim and has been pre-treated to prevent dye transfer. It has "into the fields" screenprinted on the front. I just have so many totes, that this one hasn't ever had any love. Brand new without tags. 

Here are more photos that Anabela took, over on her blog: http://blog.fieldguided.com/2011/06/into-fields-tote.html (photo above courtesy of Anabela)

Hussein Chalayan linen batwing top, M/40




Title: Hussein Chalayan linen batwing top

Description:
Just in time for summer, one of the summeriest tops ever! A linen/cotten blend, while with embroidered green, purple and blue stripes.

Like lots of Chalayan's pieces, this top metamorphizes. If you don't do up the shoulder snaps, it's a flowy batwing top. If you do, it has a more standard, sleeveless fit.

Size: 40 (fits like a M)

Details: Made in Italy; 88% linen and 12% cotton; Hand wash only
One of the buttons reads, "this item can be considered as a piece of future archaeology, a container of information contemporary to its making".

Condition: Like new; I've worn it maybe 5 times

Price: I got it on sale for around $175; I'll ship it anywhere in the U.S. for $85.

Rachel Comey 'Beaufort' clogs, US 6.5




Another hard to find Rachel Comey style, these are a light-weight platform clog with leather uppers and lining, wood heel, original rubber sole, and a round toe. Run true to size, and fit securely so your heel doesn't lift from the footbed when walking.

Heel hight is 3.75" with a 1.5" platform -very easy to walk in and fits nearly like a flat sandal. Theres a small seam at the end of the toe, and a little bow at the top.

These have been worn less than a handful of times, and have been sitting in the closet since.

 Originally bought for $345 asking $175 plus $10 for shipping.

These trousers have wide legs, pleated waist, and a drop crotch. The cloth has a nice subtle sheen (68% cotton, 32% silk). Fully lined (100% polyester). Warm cream-white color.

DOSA Lace Camisole, Size 1






This camisole is made out of 100% cotton over dyed lace that has been sewed edge-to-edge into a fabric. Dosa is a line that has always been inventive with the re-use of scraps/overstock from their production, and this is a good example. Made in Los Angeles.
Diagonal paneling at bust that is flattering to curves - in fact, this is why I am letting go of this, I have none and this just hangs on me oddly! Worn and washed once - no signs of wear.

Straps and neckline are made of heavier floral lace. Not adjustable.

Measurements
Width armpit to armpit (flat): 16"
Width at hem (flat): 18.5"
Length from front of v-neckline to hem: 13"
Length from top of strap to front hem (flat): 21"

Original: $300+
Paid: $52.00 on eBay
Asking: $40.00 including shipping in US.

Diane von Furstenberg Bikini top and bottom size SMALL






Hi LOGE'ers!

Up for your consideration is a BEAUTIFUL DVF bikini, brand new, never worn with tags. I bought this before trying it on (eBay) and much to my dismay I could not fill it out on top. It is a seriously beautiful suit. It is called the 'Nashi style Mini Halo Buds Red'. It is so pretty, so cute, and I sadly cannot wear it. Both top and bottom are size small. I wear a 34A (my friends would say I am an A minus) and I would say this suit would fit a B cup well and possibly a more endowed A cup. I would also say it would fit a 36 better than a 34. 

This suit retails for $120 for the top, $94 for the bottom
Yours for a steal for $48 flat  for both top and bottom (shipping included with that price to anywhere in the continental US - International is negotiable)
