Finally! My Century 90% off keepers :)

Now that sale season is finally over I'm catching up and sharing some of my amazing deals. You saw what didn't work for me on my blog sale, and a few pieces I teased on Instagram...now see what I kept :) 

 

This time I tried my best to not buy everything in sight. It was REALLY hard. Especially with receipts like this one...

Yes, I save over $8,000 on this transaction LOL.

I really was good. For example, when I spotted this Valentino clutch I got really excited - until I realized that I would be buying it just for the name. It was dirty and stud-less so I passed.

Instead I made a better choice with this Maison Du Posh python skull clutch. For $46 I walked away with a $1300 piece - in perfect condition. Stores like C21 really helps diversify my collection with designers that not everyone has.

Not everything I own is "super-designer." (That's my term for anything better than bridge designers. Tory Burch, Coach and the like are considered bridge.) I do try to elevate my wardrobe with every purchase these days but sometimes the cheaper stuff will do :)

This Natasha lucite clutch was only $7 so I figured, why not? I'm a sucker for a blue bag...and the ombre sealed the deal.

I do love a blue accessory - this $875 Janis Savitt multi-strand swarovski necklace came out to less than $20!

For $2.50 I got me and my SIL matching necklaces. I also got her these cute Steve Madden moto boots for less than $12 :)

So let's talk shoes :) I had already picked up 4 pairs at 75% off but at 90% I take everything that fits.

Yes, I did already buy these in green at 75% off but would you leave $35 Sergio Rossi strassed sandals in your size behind? I didn't think so.

Truthfully the green ones are pristine and these aren't (considering dyeing them) but again, $35!!!

OK, I know what you're thinking - another pair of nude satin shoes? (and I did just get the penny Pedro Garcia ones at the Rack...) The answer is yes, when they are Lanvin and under $29!

I know these B by Brian Atwoods are a little tight but they were $10. Insane.

Got these bright pink Emus for when my daughter is bigger. For $9 it's totally worth saving ahead.

I really need a flat black boot but I keep finding them with higher heels LOL. Michael Kors collection boots for $46? Yes, please!

And I may have gone a little nuts with in the bootie department. Starting from the top going clockwise; Chloe $40, Donna Karan $26 and Alberto Ferma $18. The funny thing about the Donna Karans is that they missing the tags so they weren't going to sell them to me. Luckily I pulled out my smartphone and showed them my blog, where I had previously posted this style (with the tag!) when they were 75% off. Lucky me! Found them cheaper and this time in my size!





And last but not least, these Paola Ferri black booties were just $16! I've been eying Rag and Bones for a while. Guess I don't need 'em anymore LOL. The studded leather gloves are one of my favorite purchases this round. I actually picked up one pair at 75% off ($11.25) and another at 90% ($4.50). I was thinking about returning the 75% off ones but I decided to keep both because they are amazing.

Found the runway shot from my $3090 Hache leather jacket. I practically stole it for $73 and even got into a fight with another woman over it (she tried to take it from me). It was from their Fall/Winter 2013 collection.

Charles Chang Lima black sheath - $22.77. Needs a new zipper but I love the corset details on this dress so I figure it will be worth the investment.

Valentina Shah 2013 Fall Winter faux wrap dress with leather detail, $28.71 :)

I guess I wasn't supposed to pull the leather thru and tie it LOL.

I spotted this Philosophy dress at 75% and was thrilled to find it for 90%, just $25.74!

I know it's a little similar to this Philosophy dress that I couldn't resist at 75% but it's a different fabrication so it's for a different season. I'm totally obsessed with the dress pictured below. So excited for Spring!

And now a few things I got for my boys. Reebok sneakers for my giant footed son for $4!

DH has been asking for a new leather jacket for a while. This one may be too cool for him but we're gonna give it a try anyway. Andrew Marc x Richard Chai $1195 leather moto jacket, $60!

 For my brother (who also wanted a moto jacket) I found this $1,500 Zegna for $65.

I also restocked my winter accessory bin with lots of cashmere and leather for 90% off! These first two pieces were 75% (should have waited a day) but they were gone at 90% so I was happy to pay the $6 and $10 for them.

Now for my wheel of $2.89-$4.60 gloves :)

And you'll remember from Instagram my $8 Missoni earmuffs and $4 Blumarine gloves :)

Pretty sure this $9 Qi Cashmere blue and purple scarf is for men but I'll have no problem wearing it.

My kids are always loosing hats. For $3.50, I don't mind so much, even if they are Portolano Cashmere.

Last but not least I picked up a rainbow of these cowl neck scarves by Echo for less than $2 each! Good news is that I got an extra in red - and I'm giving it away on Instagram! Click HERE for more details :)

Other than a few odds and ends (like $1.99 Ralph Lauren Ts for my brother and husband and a few $2-5 pieces for my girls) that's pretty much it.

Just wanted to thank everyone who purchased from my blog sale. All proceeds paid for all my new stuff - so thanks! There are a few pieces left so I'll be moving some of it to my Insta selling account @shoppinggalscloset over the next few days - with a few new pieces too!

Have a great weekend and happy shopping!

Blog sale - part 1

BLOG SALE NOW CLOSED - IF YOU'RE INTERESTING IN ANYTHING NOT MARKED SOLD PLEASE DM ME ON FACEBOOK OR INSTAGRAM :) 

 I know that if I post anything else you guys are going to kill me already so here it is...BLOG SALE!

ETA: Please read before claiming anything: 

Please post here ONLY in the comments below if you want something. With part 1, people texted me, posted here, and messaged me on Facebook and on Instagram. Now, in fairness, I have to go thru all the responses to see who posted first. Please do NOT DM me on Insta or my Facebook page to claim something - ONLY POST HERE. 

Also, once I've invoiced you, you have 48 hours to pay before I cancel the invoice and sell to the next in line.   

I'll share my finds soon, so for now this is what I have for sale. All items are new - some have tags and some don't. Most are Century extras that didn't work for me. You don't like my prices? Feel free to pay more on eBay or spend as many hours as I do hunting down these deals. All prices do not include cheap shipping (exact ship/pp fees) and you'd be surprised what I can pack into a flat rate envelope or box :) I'm only shipping domestically (sorry International gals). You can alternatively arrange for a NJ (Bergen County) meetup, no NYC pickups at this time. If you're interested in anything post SOLD in the comments below with your (confirmed) paypal address (and zipcode) and I'll invoice you. You can also message me on my ShoppinggalNYC Facebook page.

Feel free to ask any questions as all sales are final. I'm not taking returns unless I've grossly misrepresented an item (which I don't intend to do LOL).
