Bebe Ivory Cropped Trench Jacket


Bebe Ivory Cropped Trench Jacket

$15

This is the year of the trench, and although this jacket isn't
technically a trench, it has enough trench styling to qualify
as a close cousin! I love every thing about this jacket. It is a rich,
creamy, off white cotton/nylon blend with a satin
charmeuse lining.

Oh, why can't I be an XS?


The details on this jacket are perfection. At first glance, you
notice the oversized buttons on the front flap detailing.


However, behind that is a row of smaller buttons. There is a
row of buttonholes hidden behind the front placket, allowing
you to button up the jacket and leave the larger buttons undone.


I love the belted cuffs on the sleeve.


The back view is just as pretty as the front.

I want to point out that there are a couple of very minor stains.


On the left sleeve, the two arrows indicate
very small brown spots.


On the back, I am pointing to one additional spot.
( I should have had a manicure before I did this!)

I do not know if those stains are permanent as I am selling
this as is.

But personally, such tiny imperfections are not that big a deal to
me. These are so small that they are only really noticeable if you get
really up close and personal. I know that I will probably be
responsible for much bigger spots before all is said and done!


Label: Bebe
Size: XS
Material: Body-54% Cotton 46% Nylon
Lining-Not shown, but it is a synthetic satin charmeuse
Measurements: Bust-17"
Shoulder-15 1/2"
Waist-21 1/2"
Hips-24"
Length-22 3/4"
Condition-Very good. Three very tiny spots as shown above in photos.

Express Bahama Blues Flounce Dress


Express Bahama Blues Flounce Dress

$15


Fashion has really been feeling the blues lately, and I don't mean
economically. It seems like shades of blue are everywhere. That is
what drew me to this dress. The rich blues and greens reminded me
of a tropical vacation...the colors of sea and sky and lush vegetation.

This dress is perfect for summer. The elasticized top looks beautiful
when worn off the shoulder, showcasing a tan. This dress is
elasticized at the hips also, above a ruffled flouncy skirt.

Summer, here I come!

Label: Express
Size: Medium 
Material: Dress-100% polyester chiffon  Lining-100% polyester
Measurements: This dress is meant to be relaxed and loose in its fit.
Bust-22"
Hips:14 1/2"
Length: 26" (from armpit to hem)
Condition: New with Tags

Kay Unger Jacket with Beaded Sleeves

Kay Unger is an American designer whose designs are featured at
Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstom. She is also regularly
featured in editorial features in More, Teen Vogue, Inside Style, Self,
 People, and Us. You can see some of her designs here, where you
will see that they sell between $200-$670. In other words, her

I fell in love with the beaded detailing and exuberant colors on
the cuffs of this black jacket. Although this jacket was originally
designed for evening wear, I regularly wear jackets like this with a
simple tee shirt and jeans.

Unfortunately, I am not a size 2. But, I bought
the jacket anyway, thinking I could figure out a way to make it work.


Well, I can't. It just doesn't fit me. And it is such a beautiful jacket,
that it deserves to see the light of day!

Simple jewel neckline. Fully lined with hook and eye closure
at waist. Vent on each side seam.

Label: Kay Unger
Size: 2
Material: 100% Polyester (But I have to say that this is the
most luxurious polyester I have ever felt. It has a magnificent
hand to it!)

Shoulder: 15"
Sleeve Length: 23"
Waist: 14 1/2"
Hips: 17"
Length: 24"

Elie Tahari Champagne Silk and Black Lace Top

$24

I so love this top! The black cobweb lace is deftly layered
over champagne silk charmeuse.


The deep scoop neck bodice is gently shirred to flatter the bustline.


But my favorite part? The black grosgrain ribbon sash features the
most beautiful embroidered and beaded detail which has the appearance
of a belt buckle. The center features a faceted jet stone.


An invisible side zipper makes it easier to put on and take off.


I agonized about keeping this top, but I have nowhere to wear it and it
deserves a better life than hanging out in the dark recesses of my closet!

Express Black Leather Biker Jacket

Biker chic has been a major trend recently, with many designers sending variations
down the runway for Fall 2009. 

Alexander Wang                Armand Basi                       Blumarine                      William Rast


Express Leather Biker Jacket

$38

Here is a chance to express your own biker chic(k) for a lot less!


This black Express biker jacket is a soft buttery real leather with silver metal zippers.


The back panel is perforated all over for an extra touch of style!

Label: Express
Size: 13/14
Material: Shell-Genuine Leather 
                            Lining-50% Nylon 50% Acetate

Bust: 21"
Waist: 19 1/4"
Shoulders: 17 3/4"
Sleeve: 24 1/4"

Condition: Great! There are a couple of almost imperceptible little scuffs
that I tried  to show but they are so slight that they don't show up in a photo.

If you don't normally wear a 13/14, don't let the number throw you off. This
type of jacket can look cool when it is oversized. Kind of like you threw
on your boyfriend's motorcycle jacket. I normally wear a 4-6 and I
would wear this in a heartbeat!

Besides, this price is too good to pass up!

noticeable. If there are others, I could not find them. The rest of the dress

be seen on the left side of the picture above.


There are approximately 5 silver beads missing on the Greek key design on
