Goodbye D&G!

I recently read that Dolce & Gabbana are closing down their D&G line. So I thought I could post the most beloved piece in my wardrobe:


D&G cherry print skirt.

This was a super lucky Ebay find. I got this skirt for 3 euros, if I remember correctly. It's so OTT but I've always been a fan of Dolce & Gabbana's fruit/veggie prints. Today I spotted a D&G denim and silk long skirt at a second-hand clothing booth (local market). It was a couple of sizes too big for me and I could had it taken in but...it smelled so bad (super gross!) that I HAD to leave it there.

When they don't have a clue about what they're selling...

...you get a Burberry trench coat for 10 Euros! *super happy*


Last year DH and I went for the first time to this consigment store near our new apt. I was not impressed and we were about to leave when I decided to have a look at men's clothing. I spotted with Burberry long trench coat! It felt authentic to me but I'm not a Burberry expert! Price on tag was 10 euro so I took the chance! I had it authenticated by the lovely ladies at the Purse Forum (Burberry Sub-forum) and it was deemed authentic.



It was in almost-pristine condition with some wear on belt/sleeves buckles. At first DH wanted to keep it (it was his size) but after trying it on a couple of times he decided "it was not his style" (also he's to comfortable with second-hand clothes!). So I listed it on Ebay and sold it almost immediately - DH's loss was someone else's gain!






Miu Miu flea market find!

Hi, I just noticed that a new Miu Miu store is opening in my city, so I'm posting these for the occasion:



Miu Miu 5X4852 Cammello Vernice flats

These were a SUPER lucky flea market (church booth) find, truly in pristine condition. I got there EARLY - and I mean EARLY - in the morning and managed to find these beauties. They came with original box, tissue paper, 2 dustbags and Miu Miu booklet.

They went to a new home last month. They were not my size but too good of a DEAL to pass on them. You know what I mean!!! :) Yes, I resell some of my second-hand finds. That helps me saving for the next purchases!

A Salvatore Ferragamo's bag for my first post!

Hi, I will start my blog with one of my most recent (flea market) find - a Salvatore Ferragamo's bag. I'm pretty sure this is a vintage piece, but yet has a very actual shopper/tote style. Super chic!
