shop my closet.

have you ever wanted to shop your friends' closets? well now you can, even peeking into the closet of some of those "friends" across the country.

so you may have read last week that i'm moving to california...in two weeks! and before that, you can see i was trying to move out some of my clothes, handbags, shoes and jewelry that while it's hard to say goodbye, i can't take with me. plus, let's just say that rent is a little steeper in los angeles, and i'm gonna need that extra cash!

well, after trying almost all other options i gave in to the facebook ads for poshmark and signed up after hearing from a fellow blogger that she's had success. it is by far the most fun way to sell so far, even though i haven't actually sold anything yet. the problem is...i also want to buy, buy, buy! tons of allsaints leather jackets, ankle-straped heels from zara, gap boyfriend jeans and new-with-tags swimwear from stone cold fox keep seeking me out!

so, want to see it for yourself? here's a preview of my closet @pretaporterpb:

 shimmering pearl-colored jacket by isaac mizrahi for target

striped linen skirt from anthropologie

gold sequined sheer top from arden b

nine west brown crocodile-inspired flats

chocolate patent leather chunky heels by nine west...worn twice with tights!

bright green nine west strappy heeled sandals

click through to my account if you want to view more (with a touch more color!), which also has "racks" that include a theory dress, bcbgmaxazria gowns, skirts from h&m and banana republic, and tops from lucky brand, top shop and more.

and even though i'm hesitant to share because i don't want you to steal the items i want to snatch up, here are a few other cute closets i'm prone to scanning through:

out with the old, in with the old.

in an effort to downsize my closet (and ok, get some extra cash and space to pick up a few coveted vintage finds too), i'm attempting to sell some of the designer items i no longer wear. i feel like i've tried all kinds of avenues - ebay, antique row's consignment shops, craigslist, plato's closet and even a side station within an otherwise regular garage sale, but i'm just not getting the bites i want.

last week i went back to my starting point of ebay; dropping the original prices and relisting, thinking that might help. 

today i'm taking to the blog to get your opinion...what's worked for you? is there an ebay trick you want to fill me in on? an incredible consignment shop with the best deals for sellers that i should know about? or am i doing it all wrong, and should be hitting up the poshmark app instead, which seems to be the only facebook ad that has ever been  appropriately targeted to me?

here's a snapshot of just a few of the items i'm selling in case you have any tips to offer in the comments - or want to make a deal! 

 

louis vuitton porte monnaie coin purse

tiffany & co. elsa peretti carved heart link bracelet

limited edition coach patchwork wristlet

tiffany & co. elsa peretti open heart earrings

coach signature hobo bag

i've also got a ton of designer cocktail dresses and gowns from working palm beach galas that will probably never be worn again, since you know this girl always wants a new frock for the fête.
