Duct Tape, packaging peanuts, extra large fun! bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and studded heels ($10, Basic - acquired from work).

So begins my quest to ship 8 or so pairs of shoes, a set of 4 tumblers and 4 bowls, a vintage boater hat, and a microsuede winter coat to New York where my dorm awaits. The box, after much revision, stuffing, and layers of packing tape, is finally ready, though alas, I have yet to receive my new P.O. Box for the year, so it must wait and wallow in my closet a little longer.

Brown ankle boots, thrifted in Paris (Free'p'star), €10.

G by Guess, Frollic Combat Boots - Macy's Online, $59 +tax (I hate Alameda County's absurdly high taxes, even for California!)

Unfortunately, I had to make a smaller box for these shoes because not only had the original box been squished in shipment, everything was too big for the last inch of space in the one big box all these smaller boxes got tucked into.

Bisou Bisou "Rivera" Leopard Wedge Sandals, $65

Loved the box top!

Turquoise/Aqua Paten Leather Doc Martens, eBay, $43

T-Strap TopShop Platform Sandals, £70

I packed everything obscenely well, which resulted in a 24lb box. This is why Parcel Post is my friend! Especially when you’re shipping cross-country.

Aaaaand, that would be me in a box nutshell (for a better, more title relevant pun).
