Shop at Brigadeiro's: SHOES!

Not quite in the 'Shop at Brigadeiro's', but my sister is selling some gorgeous shoes on Ebay, including these hot Sigerson Morrison sandals (in black) for Pringle of Scotland that were shown on the catwalk in their Spring/Summer collection. If these were half a size smaller I would be bidding on them myself:

My sister's wardrobe is even more packed than mine (can you believe it?), and she hopes to clear more out of it soon, so I will keep you posted (I have been lazy in that department myself, which I keep meaning to remedy).

Once again, you can find the shoes HERE.

Kate Moss for Topshop Dobby White Dress BNWT sz 8 - SOLD!

I have been avoiding this day like the plague, but have finally (begrudgingly) admitted to myself that I will never be able to wear this dress. From Kate Moss's first collection for Topshop, this Dobby white dress comes to you brand new with tags, never worn.

This highly sought after dress was the only one I really loved from Kate Moss's 'collection', and got caught in a bidding war to buy it (not as bad as the person who paid US$700 for it on ebay though!). Purchased it in Winter, and when Summer came, I could no longer fit it! I have kept it in a clothes bag in my wardrobe ever since, stubbornly telling myself I will fit back into it, but alas, the day has come for me to be honest with myself, and to let it go to someone who will actually wear it, and who perhaps, was as obsessed with it as I was. I love the one-sided lapel, lending this feminine dress some 'edge', as well as the swiss-dot texture on the cotton, and the draped skirt. I will literally shed a tear when this leav

Chloe Khaki Cotton Shirt by Phoebe Philo

Sell US$189

Rare khaki cotton shirt by Phoebe Philo for Chloe, this is so reminiscent of her more recent work for Celine, with its clean & simple utilitarian chic lines, incredibly versatile piece that would be a fabulous addition to any wardrobe. Button closure under hidden tab. In excellent, as new condition.

I thought I should let this go, as it is cruel to leave it unworn in my overcrowded closet. My loss is your gain; inspired by a 'conversation' with H of PretaporterP, I will once again attempt to clear my wardrobe and will be listing more items for sale, so watch this space.

David Szeto One-Shoulder Sequin Dress

RRP £915.00 - Sell for £250

Brand new, never worn.

Black one-shouldered sequin dress and slips on over the head. A knot detail sits on the left shoulder, the right is bare. Draped neckline, simple yet so elegant. White sequins trim the wrap front. The hemline falls above the knee. Currently on sale for £460.00 at Browns Fashion (this size is no longer available).

I have previously expressed my love for David Szeto's designs (here). I recently went on a David Szeto 'spree'. Having bought one too many dresses that were too small, and having a particularly 'fat day', I bought this dress in two sizes (having finally learn my lesson, I bought bigger than my usual size), and have decided to keep the smaller size of the two, although I could get away with either, due to the flexible sizing of this dress. It is meant to be worn drapey and fairly loosely around the body (as shown on the mannequin), and is so flattering! I plan on wearing mine in the evening with heels, or with a striped/plain tee and leggings during the day.

Rachel Roy Leather Jacket

Size US 6 (fits US 4 as well)
UK 8-10

This is from Rachel Roy's mainline collection, not her diffusion line, and retailed for well over US$1000.

I have not worn it myself, but lent it to my mom to wear it once for 2 hours. In pristine, as new condition.

Beautiful soft leather, fully lined, with subtle tweed detailing at the cuffs and under the lapels. Cute little round brass buttons, expert tailoring at the lapels, and two front pockets. Beautifully tailored/cut so that the hem curves downwards to be longer at the back, and clever pleating detail on the collar.

This transseasonal jacket can be worn casually during the day with a distressed tee and jeans, or in the evening with a dress and heels. I love this jacket, but the door hinges on my closet have come undone (seriously), due to too many jackets and coats (embarrassing much?). My loss is your gain.

Sell for US$249 for a quick sale.

Fendi Runway Cap-sleeved Dress BNWT

RRP US$2100

Exactly as seen on the runway (without the belt).
Brand new with tags, never worn.

Sell for US$499.

White cotton cap-sleeved dress with oversized flap pockets and a floaty skirt. Fendi dress has a sweetheart backline and a zip at the back to fasten, a paneled section throughout, a stitched band around bust and an exaggerated waistband. 100% cotton. Dry clean.

This dress could even be worn as an easy breezy wedding dress, to a gala, or with flat sandals to a beach party, so versatile! I bought this dress with the intention of wearing it to a party, but by the time the occasion arose, I realized I was pregnant, and my chest measurements had uhum...changed (boo hoo!). My loss is your gain. The beauty of this dress is that it is easily accessorised without losing its wow factor so mirror the runway look and adorn the waist with a statement belt.

I have reluctantly decided to start clearing my wardrobe again. During & after my pregnancy I bought a few gorgeous pieces that have not seen light of day. The next few days & weeks I will be letting go of some these items *snif snif*, and perhaps some shoes as well, so watch this space:

Richard Chai Draped Silk Chiffon Galaxy Dress
RRP $1775

This stunning silk chiffon dress has asymmetric panels that drape to the waist on the front and back, with a pleated neckline and drop waist. It is exactly as worn on the runway, but the colourway is slightly different, it was hard to capture the actual print, the colours are not as obvious as in the pictures (more like it is shown on the runway), but I wanted you to be able to see the detailing.

REDUCED to $199 - bargain!

Brand new with tags still attached.

Zimmermann Denim Coat

Love the pleated shoulders which give this gorgeous coat a subtle feminine touch, along with the pin-tucking at the front. My pictures do not do it justice, as you cannot see the fit, but it is beautifully cut to flatter the body.

Alannah Hill Cherry Knit cross-stitch top
US$49




The cross-stitching on this top is so cute! As are the gold 'x's along the neckline and armholes. Inside the straps are clever little ribbon & press-stud buttons to secure your singlet or bra strap (love details like that). In as new condition, the skirt below matches this demi-sheer knit top, although one can wear them separately, of course.

Alannah Hill Cherry Knit Skirt

Fully lined, and a cute pleated style. My picture does not do it justice, as it has that slight 'schoolgirl' look...Fully lined, invisible zip & button on the side. The red on the top part of the skirt (i.e. in the shadow) is the true colour, a gorgeous cherry red...

Bsouria brown pleated skirt with side 'tail'

Ae'lkemi Kimono Vest

The tag is still attached to this gorgeous jacket. Made of a thick boiled/felted black wool, it is cut absolutely brilliantly slim to flatter your body, and hits around the hipbone. The grey marle lined hood is removable, did I mention I love details like that?
