Madewell Archive tall boots, black, size 6.5




Gorgeous knee-high leather boots from Madewell. The Archive is one of their classic styles that sells out every winter. The construction is great, with sturdy but soft pebbled leather.


I bought these at the end of October, wore them five or six times, and realized they are too tall for my very petite legs, so I'm selling them. They retail for $298 new. I bought them on sale, so I'm selling for $100 plus shipping.

Size 6.5. They run a tiny bit big - I usually wear a 6.5 in shoes and go up to a 7 in boots, but the 6.5 in these has room for thick socks.

Listing ends in one week.
Price: $100 plus shipping

Kate Spade Mary Jane flats, 9.5 M










Super cute, EUC Mary Jane flats in red patent leather by Kate Spade. Worn once. Pointy toe with gold tone buckle, rubber sole. Great craftsmanship--even the lining (leather) is gold! Stamped Made in Brazil, 9.5 M. Sad to let it go, but it's a tad too narrow and small at the toe for me. I'd keep these otherwise!Perfect fit I think for a narrow-medium width true 10, or true 9.5. Color is a true cherry red. (For reference, I am routinely a US 9.5/10 and an EU 40.) Think about them for that pop of color in the new year!

Color: Cherry red

Measurements: Outsole is just short of 11.25" Heel is a little over half an inch. Insole is roughly 10.75"

Paid: Can't recall--found them at a fancy consignor--at least over $175? Yours for $55 + shipping if if in the U.S. 

Listing Ends: 11:59 p.m. PST, 12/30

PayPal preferred. E-mail me at g(at)lilyspruce(dot)com for questions.

Shabd Shoreline Dress in Magma






Beautiful deep red silk charmeuse dress by Shabd.  There are infinite ways to style this dress.  At first glance, it's a simple shift, but with the scarf panels, one can redefine and transform the dress into a belted style, cap sleeves, and more!  Worn only once for a few hours.  Purchased from Anaise.  I would be happy to send over the little card with all the different styling options as well.  Dresses up and down with ease.

Size L (would work well for both M and L)
Bust 40"
Hips 42"
Length 40"

Asking $100 (was $125) with US shipping included.  PayPal only.  E-mail nikoshkopa{at}gmail.com with questions.

Searching for: Isabel Marant Elali Jacket (or similar design)

I know this is a shot in the dark, but since it's almost Christmas, I'd figure I'd try for a miracle!

I'm looking for the IM "Elali" jacket from a couple of years ago. If anyone has it in the navy with black trim colorway and in a size 0 or 1 (or maybe even 2?) and is willing to sell, let me know! I'd also be interested in similar styles like the "Etien".

H&M Isabel Marant Lace Top Size 2

If you didn't get a change to get this in person you're in luck.  I didn't get the memo that my local h&m was opening early so I missed out on everything I really wanted.  (Boots, single button wool coat?  Anyone want to sell theirs?)  But I did manage to grab this really cute top.  Too bad it is a size 2 and I look like a sausage in it.

If anyone missed out on this and wants it, let me know.  If not, I will return it directly to the store.

One of the images posted is from the lookbook and the other is a photo I found of it on a mannequin that shows the lace detail.
100% cotton but has a slight stretch to it.  Black. Slightly long tunic length.

Bust 32"
Length 26"


Brand new with tags.  Fits true to size.  99$ (price I paid) plus 5$ shipping. Payment must be made within 24 hrs of auction end.  (Sorry...It's my last week to return it) Listing ends Dec 28th.

-SOLD- APC dress, size MED





Super adorable cosmic polka dot printed APC dress. Bought this on LoGE a few years ago and it is still holding up rather magically well. Size Medium. Elastic waist to fit a whole range of sizes. It's the epitome of APC gamine-ness! So versatile and you're able to wear it nearly year-round!

Color: Navy body with pink, cream distorted dots.

Material: Tag was cut by owner so there are no materials info (my guest guess is a cotton/spandex. Thin, almost tee shirt material, but not see through. Pleats along the collar. Pleated pockets. I've handwashed cold and air dried every time.

Measurements: 19" across chest. 38" long. I've found you can play with the length with the elastic by using a belt.  

Price: Paid--no idea. Yours for $45 shipped. PayPal, US bidders preferred.

Listing Ends: 11:59 p.m. 12/17/13
