Haute Hippie Black Tulle Dress Sz S (2-6)

This gorgeous, flirty Haute Hippie dress in size S (2-6) is made from incredibly soft, drapey jersey combined with layers of tulle for a look that can be a little bit edgy, a little bit ballerina, but totally flattering and feminine. Haute Hippie is a New York City—based label known for its luxurious embellished pieces perfect for a fancy night out or a festive party! This black dress can easily be paired with a chic blazer, or a stylish leather jacket, even a cotton hoodie works. I bought this dress for an event, but ended up not attending; it was originally $495 at Saks Fifth Avenue here in New York and I'm selling it for $140 plus shipping. This fabulous dress is on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!


Delman Gray Suede Ballet Flats Sz 10 (11)

The Delman Mona is a gorgeous classic ballet flat with a rounded toe that features a refined suede upper, leather lining, and a sturdy rubber sole with brand detailing. Made in Spain, this is an incredibly popular style the company makes every season and sells for $206/pair ($199/pair on Zappos). This particular pair comes in gorgeous gray suede and is marked as a size 11, however, the fit runs around a size smaller in part due to the elasticized heel and it is actually a truer size 10 (I am normally a size 10). These shoes have never been worn and come in their original dust bag. I am selling them for $75 plus shipping. Let me know if you have any questions! They are available for the next 7 days on eBay, right here.

Zara Beige Leather Motorcycle Jacket Size M

I've been looking for a leather jacket for years now; I really wanted a chic black one that I'd imagine casually throwing over any outfit as I headed out the door ... but every time I'd try one on it would look so silly. Like I was trying to look tough, or like a kid in her big brother's motorcycle jacket. It just wasn't me! Not to be discouraged, I finally settled on a really gorgeous, buttery leather jacket from my beloved Zara in a versatile beige; it looked little more subtle on me than the black. Of course, it's still not really me, and I've only worn it once (and please note, I did very delicately remove the label, I have included a photo of where it was below.) I bought it for $279 and am selling it for $99; it's in fantastic condition and I hope it goes to a home where it will be enjoyed, it's such a waste to have it hanging here. (Taunting me.) Let me know if you want to see more photos; this jacket is available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!






Kenneth Cole Full-Length Brown Wool Coat

I fell so in love with this full-length brown wool Kenneth Cole coat; it has just the right amount of military styling, and it's perfectly sophisticated and warm and perfect for the winter. And of course, it's been hanging in my closet because I'm always running around here, there, and everywhere and I never think to grab such a beautiful long coat for fear that it will get dirty. But this coat deserves to be worn and enjoyed, it's so flattering and elegant on! It's a size 6, made of wool with a touch of nylon for durability, and is fully lined. The style is double-breasted with 4-button closure. Let me know if you want to see more photos! Originally over $340, I'm selling it for $125 plus shipping. This coat is available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!



Tony Cohen Deep V-Neck Cotton Dress

Dutch fashion designer Tony Cohen has slowly been working his way into the U.S. market, with select items available at Zoe in Brooklyn and online at Shopbop and Revolve. Every time I go home to visit family in Holland, I'm so excited to stop in at his boutique in Amsterdam to say hello to his very lovely wife and to see what's new. A couple of summers ago, I bought this blush-colored flutter sleeve bubble dress, which features a deep v-neck and front pockets. I love it but it's a little more feminine than I normally dress, so I haven't really worn it. It's a European size 2 (M) and I'd guess it would work for a size 6 or 8. (It looks extremely full in the photos, but that's because I bloused it out; the bottom half does have some volume due to the bubble hem, but with the structured top and delicate fabric it's really not unflattering.) Originally just under $300, I'm selling it for $65 plus shipping. Please let me know if you have questions or would like to see more photos! This dress is available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!


*SOLD* Etoile Isabel Marant Tunic *SOLD*

French designer Isabel Marant is known for her minimalist, bohemian clothing, and this fabulous tunic top is no exception. A perfect balance between a tailored jacket and a slouchy top, this wool/linen blend pullover is structured in all the right places, with small pockets in the front. Incredibly unique and versatile, it was originally $435 at Bird in Brooklyn; I'm practically giving it away for $75 plus shipping. The top is in almost-new condition with just a tiny fabric catch on the inside of the front opening where there was a small snap closure. (It's hardly noticeable but would be easy to fix or you could take it to a tailor to have them attach whatever closure you'd like: snap, hook, even a button.) The size is a European 2, which would make it about a medium; I guess it would be good for sizes 4, 6, and 8. The top is fairly roomy and hits at the upper hip. Please let me know if you'd like to see more photos! This item has sold!





MinkPink White Eyelet-Detail Dress

Australia-based MinkPink makes lovely fashion-forward clothes that are quite affordable and always a fun addition to your closet. I bought this white eyelet-trim batwing dress in a size M at Coclico on Mott Street, one of my favorite boutiques in New York City, but because it's a little short on my 5' 10" frame, I haven't worn it. The dress comes with a white fabric belt that you can use to tie it like a tunic to be worn over jeans, else of course it works well as a sexy dress, especially if you're a bit shorter than I am. The square neckline is perfect for piling necklaces on top. I bought the dress for $120 and am selling it for $65 plus shipping. This beautiful piece is available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!




Vintage Brown Cowboy Boots

I think it was a photo of Nicole Kidman wearing cowboy boots with a flowy white dress that got me thinking that I too should invest in the comfy, versatile style ... except, cowboy boots have never really been my style and I don't tend to wear long flowy dresses, and so after buying them and adoring them from afar, I've only worn them once. They are really gorgeous and well-made from quality, sturdy leather; these things will last forever. Size 10 and originally over $200, I'm selling them for $50 plus shipping. Let me know if you want to see more photos; these beautiful boots deserve a loving home! These boots are available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!


*SOLD* Mike & Chris Bailey Hoodie Jacket *SOLD*

This is the jacket that launched the Los Angeles—based fashion label Mike & Chris into the big-time: the fleece empire-waist hooded Bailey, which sold out everywhere within days when it hit stores a while back. Featuring 3/4-length sleeves, 4-button closure, a bubble hem, and an easy sweatshirt style, it's been a couple of years, but this coat is still a fun addition to any wardrobe, plus, it's super easy to layer for year-round wear. Gently worn, I bought it for $260 and am selling it for $45 plus shipping. This item sold for $55 on eBay on December 6—hooray, my first holiday sale!


*SOLD* Frye Kelly-Green Ada Pumps *SOLD*

Here is another pair of Frye's incredibly popular Ada Peep Toe—style shoes, available in a bright kelly-green color, size 10. The heel is low and comfortable, making these elegant two-piece shoes are perfect for work to walking to a night out on the town. I love this color but wore them to work only once since I don't tend to wear heels a lot. The bottoms are slightly scuffed from this light wear, but beyond that the shoes are in perfect condition. Originally $178, I'm selling them for $75 plus shipping, in the original box. This is item has sold!



Frye Navy-Marine Ada Peep Toe Pumps

Known for their quality and durability, Frye is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States, so you know anything you buy from them will last. Although it's their boots that first made them famous, their stylish, gorgeous shoes have been growing in popularity for years now, particularly the Ada Peep Toe, here available in a deep navy-marine color, size 10. The heel is low and comfortable, and the shoes are perfect for day to night. I wore them a couple of times, with tights out in the evening; the bottoms are slightly scuffed from this light wear, but beyond that the shoes are in perfect condition. Originally $178, I'm selling them for $75 plus shipping, in the original box. This item is available on eBay for the next 7 days, right here!



*SOLD* Marc by Marc Jacobs Purple Silk Blouse

This gorgeous purple Marc by Marc Jacobs blouse is 100% silk, size M, and features pleating along the front and back, as well as pretty ties on both shoulders and flattering shirt bubble sleeves. I've worn it a couple of times, but it's in good-as-new condition and looks great worn loose over jeans or anything black. Dress it up, dress it down, this blouse is really special. Originally $175, I'm selling it for $75 plus shipping! This item sold on eBay.
