Buy the Bag Loot

Yesterday with my $5 Power Hour ticket, I went to Housing Works Buy the Bag Warehouse sale.



* Two 80s style sweaters. One had faux fur and beads and the other just had beads. Embellishments easily removed.
* One Leather Longchamp Handbag
* One giant Timbuk2 Messenger Bag
* One vintage bed sheet to be up cycled into a summer dress
* One Striped Cashmere Cardigan
* One Turquoise ECHO silk scarf
* One 80s style silk blouse
* One crazy faux fur hat
* One Blue and Gold Infinity Scarf

All this for one power hour ticket + $25 buy the bag fee + $10 car service there because it was too damn cold to bike there. I think I did pretty good ... Everything is in pristine condition especially the Longchamp handbag.

Bowl of fruit was not purchased at the event.

Window Dressing

I am pretty sure this is window features 80s Esprit. I caught it while watching an episode of Miami Vice.

Getting Close

I have been looking for a white bubble clutch that I had in high school. I remember the store I purchased it from. I remember trying to determine the best way to carry a clutch with all my books.

This is the closest I have found so far. It is for sale here.

I Heart Molly Ringwald

A few things about me ... I love "Pretty in Pink." I came of age during the brat pack era. I cried a little during this year's Oscar's tribute to John Hughes. I preordered "Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick"

And finally, I love advise books. In fact, I started collect them. My first purchase was Tiger Beat Presents Susan Dey's (from Partridge Family Days) Secrets on Boys, Beauty and Popularity.

I Heart Norma Kamali

Happy the weather is just perfect for my Norma Kamali - Women's Athletic Batwing Cardigan.

Norma Kamali is one of my favorite designers. I discovered her from my Up to Date retail days at the South Hills Mall.

Old School Benetton

Got this sweater last spring on a trip to San Francisco because I knew it was from the 80s and by Benetton. Today I wore it in public. Sweet!

80s Esprit

The latest addition to the collection.
