The shoes & boots are some wonderful thrift store finds that I wish were in my size. I actually own the belt & had bought an extra to sell. I just knew someone else would want one. It's so fun - I love mine so much!
Hello there, I came across your blog and very much enjoyed. Please come and visit mine too! It's a fashion blog with outfits and blurbs inspired by Portobello Road, London. I hope you enjoy it!
I got it to sell, then tricked myself into trying to keep it. Then, of course, I realized that it is entirely too slouchy for me :) I'm just a structured bag kinda girl. It's very rich feeling & I almost tricked myself into trying to keep it again while I was listing it. Save me from myself, please! This lipstick for your wardrobe is starting at $10 - jump on!
Below are two smaller nylon purses that I'm selling as a lot. I started them at $0.99 so someone is gonna snag a deal on these. Their really cute, I'm just trying to thin out the pack a bit.
As of now, I'm going to taper of my ebay selling & focus on blogging & bringing you as much new info & fun as I can. I realized I'm crap at selling on ebay & actually lose money since I shop so much more for myself while I'm shopping for things to sell. It's gotten me in a bit of trouble I'll tell you. I will be putting up the occasional listing when I weary of bits from my closet, of course. I always like to know my overflow goes to a loving home! :)
P.S. I had to empty out my closet this weekend since we are doing new flooring in it and I realized just how many things I own. I'm tempted to only put them back in the closet as I've worn them. That would be a very disciplined way to do it. However, it's all in such chaos right now, I'd probably end up just shopping for more instead of slogging through the mess if I tried to do it that way. :) It's a nice thought about closet cleaning though, isn't it?
New Items in the Store - Perfect for Gifties!
- 12/07/2008
I just added 3 new bags to my listings. I was going to wait & do a cool "holiday" post, since 2 of these bags are in very festive colors plus I've got another Dooney in green & a Franco Sarto in red that came out of my own closet that will be going up. But... the truth is that this is it. I am running out of time today & this is all you get. Which isn't too say you're not getting a lot. These bags are top of the line & really are good deals according to their MSRPs.
Here's an awesome Dooney & Bourke that I tried putting all my stuff in. I really liked it but I think it's better to share the handbag love. I am truly not handbag needy. Someone else out there might be & maybe their wonderful husband/boytoy will get this for them. One can only hope to spread it around! Anyway it is listing #270314524961 - these are so fresh that the links aren't even really up yet on my "other listings" page.
A Cole Haan satchel in green leather (cheerful!) and natural canvas. Love the woven panel on the front. Listing #270314511884. Jolly color scheme so far, huh?
This one is a really cool slouchy boho type tonal suede bag from Lucky Brand. Ni-ice! Auction #270314518326.
Well, I hope you see something you like. If not, thanks for visiting anyway.
I will be posting for the next week or so but my family will be in town, so I will most likely be a little scarce. Please have a wonderful holiday. Enjoy & stay safe!
Lazy Ebay Week
- 11/30/2008
I admit, I've been a lazy girl this weekend - as far as ebay goes anyway... See the coming posts for what I DID get done. I swear I didn't just sit around.
This is a Sunday evening bulletin on the latest goodies I have listed on ebay. If you are interested in any of these, please check out my listings here. See more info below each photo.
Von Dutch jeans, size 26
Stuart Weitzman, dark grey patent leather heels - never worn
Tahari trouser jeans, size 8, new with tags
Anne Klein brown nylon & leather satchel
Franco Sarto rasberry nylon satchel
Bruno Magli black patent leather slingbacks - never worn.
Ralph Lauren convertible khaki cargo pants, size 6 Petite
That's it for tonight. Sorry for the abbreviated post. I'm pretty tired after getting these all listed plus cleaning my house, organizing my office & ending world hunger. OK, I didn't end world hunger but I did bake some super yummy chocolate chip cookies!
Coming Soon to MissAmyShops
- 11/19/2008
Here's a teaser some of the goodies I found this weekend to add to the shop. From left to right: patent leather Bruno Maglis (never worn), Calvin Klein studded mules (actually these are currently in my closet - you'll have to wait LOL), Bandolinos (size 10, appear to have never been worn and Nine West (new with tags)!
I'm hoping I can get these & a lot more up next Sunday for you all. Christmas is coming & even if you don't buy too much for others, I like to encourage spending on oneself. I mean, who else do you know that you can really, truly buy the perfect gift for? You will know that you will use it & that it will fit, so why not splurge a little on yourself?
I usually end up doing it when I shop for everyone else gift. $20 for someone else, $20 for me. $35 for dad, $35 for me, etc, etc... I am really a greedy shopper!
I just re-listed a bunch of listings from this week. I changed them to auctions instead of Buy It Now's since I'm kind of missing the fun of having watching my auctions. I hope you'll join in!
The starting prices are at my rock bottom so there's some deals you'll like, I'm sure. Photos of what is up are below. If you like anything, click through here to see all my listings. There's quite a few nice things & with Christmas coming up it's always cool to be able to give great things without spending retail.
Italian Handbags
- 11/12/2008
What is it about Italian handbags that gets me all excited? I can't handle it when I confront them & innevitably end up bringing more than one home.
This week's listings only has one Italian bag in it (by Innue) - but I know if it doesn't sell I will be sorely tempted to keep it. That's what happened with the black patent Maurizio Taiuti bag. Photo below is Exhibit A of my lust for Italian bags:
Yup, happy as a clam that I was "forced" to keep it. And I have to say that I absolutely adore it. For a minute I thought it would be too slouchy & I might have a heckuva time finding things in it's depth - not so, at all, I am glad/chagrined to say.
Next, lay your eyes on this and I dare you not to covet:
It's the Innue handbag that I have listed this week. I can't get over how luxe & ladylike it is. The patent is so slick, the pony hair - so soft. The back of the flap is even a rich suede in the same deep burgundy/vino tone. This is such a great color to wear against all the fall/winter colors. It's very simple & classic with a large structured inside with one zippered pocket in it. This one's gonna be hard for me to resist... I will keep my fingers crossed that someone likes this one more than me!
"A longstanding dedication to innovation and exotic imagery, Vivienne Tam is truly one of the world’s most passionate and symbolic designers in fashion today."
But words just aren't doing it for me right now - so check out the eye candy below:
I love the gothic influences in this one. Plus the models come from every direction on the set/runway. I much like it!
Why am I suddenly so interested in Ms. Tam? I recently laid my hands on a dress by her. It is listed on ebay right now. Such a great find! I knew her name but I had not looked into her as a designer until now. Check out the Vivienne Tam dress in my listings!
Maurizio Taiuti Purses
- 11/01/2008
I have been digging Italian made bags lately. I've also been finding them for a song & have a few extras I'll be listing on ebay.
Here's one of the new favorites of mine - Maurizio Taiuti! I really love this bag! It's extremely slouchy with lots of sections and pockets. This is one I may end up keeping if it doesn't sell. Please save me from myself! I so love how the main bag is patent but contrasted by the regular leather handles. And then there's that regal purple lining! There's also hooks you can use to add a shoulder strap if you have one, so there's the convenience factor as well.
Seriously, I'm begging you - check out this Maurizio Taiuti Italian handbag. Grapple it from my greedy purse-loving grasp. I promise to thank you!
Francesco Biasia Handbags
- Have I ever told you how much I love Francesco Biasia? They are such a luxury brand of Italian leather.
I found my first FB bag at TJMaxx, I think it was. It is a gorgeous semi-matte black leather bag that is structured and oddly angular. It was so simple I knew I would have it forever.
I also am featuring an FB bag in my ebay listings right now - it is new with tags & a great deal at $99 buy it now. It's such a great style - it can be worn shoulder style or across the body like a messengar bag. The leather is so nice and luxe. Just so classic but a little tough with the hardware. Click here to check it out!
I also ended up keeping one I was supposed to sell as well. It is a dark brown & from the same line but a different style. I may still put it up at a later date. But I need to sell the black one to pay for this one LOL. So, do me a favor & check out listing #270293112652
Purse Explosion
- 10/12/2008
I just got 4 new purses up on the ebay. There are more to come. Six of the current crop are new with tags! Yeah, I hit the motherload the other day. But I've also paired down my personal purse brigade (again) and will be putting up a few x-favorites. (I have to, when I had my splurge I bought at least one that I am totally keeping! And really, how many bright orange purses does one girl need?)
Anyway, here is a very visual post of all the ones that are up or will be going up. Oh, and I also threw a close up of the magic belt in there.
A Franco Sarto in gorgeous lipstick red leather!
