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.

Messenger Monday

I like the idea of this bag but am not sure how it would work in real life with stuff in it.

Bike Commuter

One of the down sides of becoming a bike commuter -- especially one with just one basket which VALENCIA rides in --is that my handbag choices are very limited. I love my old school Brooklyn Industry messenger bag. I also love a little variety. I will be getting a basket for the rear wheel.

Sturdy Messenger Bag

I purchased this Brooklyn Industry messenger bag back when I produced events.

It was the best bag to fit my event binder, laptop, mobile phone, misc. chargers, sharpies and trusty notebook. It also carried my personal survival items like tea bags, iPod, sunglasses and rosary beads.

I always carry a set of rosary beads. In this bag, there is a plastic set that was given to me by the former Production manager of the GoGo's who happened to be jewish.
