shellys london rainbow snakeskin flat- size 7.5/8- $50



i got these shoes from urban outfitters and they are yet another amazing british brand: shellys london. my number 1 thing i look for when buying clothes is that something is one of a kind/doesn't look like it could be from any store in the mall/has that extra ~it~ factor and these shoes definitely fulfill that criteria! they are a snakeskin, rainbow ombre pattern with a cute peep-toe that lets you show off your pedicure! they have the tiniest .5 inch heel but are still definitely flats and extremely comfortable. i've never worn these without getting at least 4 compliments (seriously) and they are in my top 10 favorite shoes i own. if noone buys them then off they go with me to spain even if i have to hide them in a strange orifice. bye customs!

bcbg max azria print shirt sz. medium- $30



this bcbg shirt retails for $118 but you don't have to get it for that price! i wore it to class with skinny jeans tucked into slouchy boots but it also can definitely be dressed up with the right skirt and heels for a night out! it has a truly complex and unique print which reflects that it is a designer piece rather than from forever21 or a cheaper store. it comes with a great waist-cinching belt that ties in the back but is detachable and can also be used to dress up a basic black american apparel tube dress or any other outfit you can think of! i love this shirt and i'm sure you will too!

joie sz. 27/28 acid wash jeans from shopbop- $30



joie jeans typically retail for 150-200 dollars on shopbop.com but these can be yours for only 30! they are a size 28 but fit more like a 27 or even a 26. they are acid washed jeans and bring a little of the london punk scene to monroe, ct while still conveying designer sophistication. the only ~flaw~ with these is that the signature red leather patch on the back has bled a little into the surrounding area, but it actually adds to the feel of the jean as a whole. these would look amazing with a strong cage bootie (the YSL original or a knockoff) and a flowy black shirt as well as myriad other outfits!

pink sequin express dress, sz. L- $10



i found this dress on extreme sale down from $200 at express one day. i always planned to get it re-fitted and re-tailored at a seamstress since it wasn't my size but it was so beautiful! im obviously not going to have time before i leave so instead it can be yours for $10!! its a size large and fits true to size. its also really long on me so i'd imagine it ideally fits someone whose at least 5'6". regardless of size, the detailing of the sequins is amazing! i included a picture but it doesn't really do it justice. this would look fabulous for a night out in the city or another special occasion!

sz. 4 banana republic cocktail dress- $30



i wore this gorgeous plum colored banana republic cocktail dress to the opera once (see the pic winkwink) and i loved traversing manhattan in it since it was so comfortable and yet also formal! it is a size 4 and would also probably fit a size 6 since i find banana republic to cut their clothes on the larger side. its a burnished metallic material with black satin straps and is low-cut yet ~classy~. you can see in the picture how it fit me length wise (im 5'2" and was wearing 4 inch heels). its a great dress for a winter formal, sorority function, etc. at an AMAZING price and once again was worn for mere HOURS! also, my mom had it dry cleaned so none of my ~cooties~ are on it ;)

vintage purple skirt sz 4/small- $15



this vintage skirt looks amazing with a tucked in shirt and can be dressed up or down. i love it with a lace element or something semi-sheer (as pictured above) since it takes it from day to night out. the color is so vivid and rich which makes it look expensive and despite being vintage it has not faded at all. i also included a pic of the GORGEOUS lining! the waist is small and fits a true size 2 more than a 4. as always, measurements can always be provided to insure a perfect fit!

sz. small y london brand shirt from LF- $30



this y london shirt from LF in westport is truly amazing and one of a kind. LF is one of my favorite stores since it stocks a lot of hard to find brands from europe such as y london (which means noone else will have it!) this shirt was originally over $200 dollars due to its ~rarity~ and amazing rutched detailing and meticulously placed sequins. i wore it clubbing for my birthday and every sequin stayed in place (which is NOT true with cheaper clothes from say forever21). this shirt is also great for a night out since it looks like a halter but also has sleeves so you won't be adjusting it every 3 seconds.

antik denim jeans sz. 4/27- $50




ive worn these size 27 antik denim jeans approx twice even though they are 200 dollar jeans! they are definitely a strong style statement and won't easily

be forgotten! i always wore them with heels/tucked into

boots since they are long and would fit someone whose around 5'5 or 5'6" in flats. if you need exact measurements/inseam etc just let me know! this is a great bargain on barely worn designer denim! atlantic city style for jersey shoreee prices ;)

sz. 2/4 vintage christian dior red power suit- $50 and $65





this look is SO kanye west @ the 2010 VMAS... well the girl version. im selling these 2 authentic christian dior suit pieces for 50 dollars (skirt) and 65 dollars (jacket) OR 100 dollars together as a suit set. there are a few minor damages to the jacket (discussed in a min) but the skirt is in PERFECT condition! the tag says a size 4 but really fits as a size 2 and is tight on my sister who is a size 2/4. it is a lot shorter on then it looks in the pictures and has a revealing slit so its more of a night piece then office wear unless you are like trying to seduce your co-worker.
the jacket is definitely bringing back the 80's in a good way! it is more of a true size 4 since it fits me (who is far from a size 2 lol). the jacket has shoulder pads and a very flattering nipped in waist. the only negative feature is the sewed on buttons, 2 of which have easily popped off. i have 1 of them saved but 1 will need to be replaced. you can either take it off the sleeves where there are 2 decorative buttons OR (what i am planning to do if noone buys this jacket) take it to the seamstress and add a zipper instead and readd the somewhat ineffective buttons as decorative features.
this is an amazing and au courant christian dior suit which can be yours for a true bargain!!

size 4 vintage 1970's skirt- $50



i loveee this vintage 1970's skirt that i found in my grandma's attic (anyone want to claim it? kelly? marybeth?) and i wore it once but it is a little too tight on me now after the ~holidays~. it is in amazing vintage condition, especially the strong white color which has not aged and yellowed like most vintage pieces. it is supposed to be worn on your natural waist which makes it REALLY short but i wore it more on my hips. the pockets are SO phoebe philo-era chloe and it would be the epitome of modern 70's chic with a tan turtleneck, navy tights and the jeffrey campbell tan tick shoes (fantasy outfit anyone?) this is a ONE of a kind vintage piece for the discerning buyer!

nicole miller cocktail dress sz. 6/8- $100





this is a gorgeous nicole miller bubble hemmed cocktail dress which originally retailed for over $400. i wore it for approximately 3 hours, dry-cleaned it, and it has not been on a body since. it is perfect for prom, a sorority formal, a cocktail party, or any other occasion! nicole miller dresses are rarely found for under 200 dollars even on sale, and i am selling this for half of that! it has such unique and pretty detailing and is made from the highest quality dress material hence its high original price, but it can be yours for 1/4 of that :)

seven7 jeans sz. 4/27- $20



these jeans are technically a size 29 but im not even a size 29 now and they look like absolute shit on me/have primarily been worn out by my sister whose a size 2/4. they fit like a size 4/27. part of it i think is that they are white/cream colored jeans which are inherintly small but also they just fit strangely. they are pretty long... i could only wear them with heels but they fit my sister who is 5'7" and were only the tiniest bit short on her. i really want to get rid of them since they have never fit me well hence why they are sooo cheap for seven7 jeans. there is a small stain near one of the pockets but it isn't noticeable in the pics/to the casual eye.

unique teal beaded bracelet- $5



one of my mom's friends i think gave me this and i really like it except i never wear jewelry! it is made of a ton of tiny bright blue beads with some sort of a native americn pattern. it is the ideal accessory to transition an outfit from day to night and would match free people or anthropologie type clothes perfectly!

bcbg max azria denim trousers. sz. 8- $20



first of all, these need to be drycleaned after every wear and they haven't fit me in a year and a half so that is why they resemble the texture of an elephant. however, after a quick run to the dry-cleaner they will snap right back into tip-top shape (i know from experience). this style is sold by bcbg every season for 200-300 dollars because they are formal enough to wear to work/an internship yet as comfortable as a pair of jeans. i wore these at least once a week when i worked at bcbg (and had them drycleaned weekly!) when i worked there since i could do every task from dressing a mannequin to cleaning out the dressing room with ease in this ~professional garment~. im selling them for only 20 dollars (aka 1/10th of the retail price) since im too lazy to get them dry-cleaned but if i dont sell them here then i will just dry-clean and put them on ebay where they will go for 50+ dollars in their drycleaned state. they are a size 8 and are true to size.

lucky brand jeans sz 6/28- $30




these jeans are in great condition and have hardly been worn! they are designer denim from lucky brand with a cool orange design on the pockets and include the signature "lucky you" on the zipper and distressed detailing. they are a size 6/28 in the waist but i can provide more specific measurements if you need them. they are a tiny bit long on me and i am 5' 2" but still wearable for someone near that height.
