There's a couple of cashmere sweaters, an Oscar de la Renta jacket, some snakeskin belts, a Burberry jacket, snake skin shoes, Ralph Lauren lizard ballet flats, a Burberry jacket, a couple silk scarves, a pashmina, some Pierre Cardin belts, a James Perse shirt, a couple Ralph Lauren tops and a Charles Jourdan bag.
