Passport Holder

Not so long ago I received a request for a passport holder recommendation. Check out what I use. I like the bold color.

Vera Bradley Sunglass Case

German Market Bag

A colorful approach to string market bags.

I have found a crochet pattern to make my own...I just need to learn how to crochet.

The Passing of a Diva of Bags

It is with great sadness I share the passing of a phenomenal diva. She had a heart as big as the bag she is holding.

Elegant Monday

I am always delighted when I see elegant older women like this one. She was riding the M2 bus when I saw her.

No Bag Sunday

ABC Carpet is so thoughtful in its displays. Isn't this flower wall lovely?

Stand for Change

I always amazed by the creativity of others. I love this Stand for Change change purse.

Thinking about Obama

How should I show my support of Obama? I am thinking of getting this tote.

Who Can Resist a Cheap Beach Bag?

I sure can't. Especially when I am going to the beach the next day. At least, it wasn't much money; only $6.99 at Old Navy.

A Lululemon Shopping Bag

I have finally acquired the inspirational Lululemon bag. My new yoga mat strap was packed in it.

Not Quite a Bag

but it holds my yoga mat. It is a yoga mat strap making it easier to carry my mat to class. I will return to yoga this month!

A Modern Approach to Summer Straw Bag

Better than those tacky vacation straw bags we purchase on the island. This is one is perfect for a gal like me.

Thank you Weiss Family. I owe ya phone call!

No Bag Sunday

Here's a fine example of potted plastic flowers and a few weeds from the Jersey Shore.
Ain't it grand!

Trip on the B61

Last Saturday, I ventured down to Red Hook on the B61 to check out the pool, see if the food vendors had returned and check out the new Ikea. Of course, I also took the opportunity to visit the vintage shops in Carroll Gardens. Check out my new change purse...It was a bargain!

Once the sunny weather returns, I will definitely be swimming in the pool and I hope the vendors return soon.

It wouldn't be a Vacation...

if I didn't get a new bag.

It's a nice summer hobo bag.

I liked the detail in the fabric.

A Reward for Sticking Around

Yup, I am my father's daughter so naturally I would be around after my Step-Mom announced she wanted a divorce by taking all the recently purchased furniture from their home.

This beauty was found in their Miami condo, some how she forgot it when she was ordered to leave because she was living there illegally during the divorce proceedings. Oh, the scandal.

The Bag the Wallet came in

The Matching Wallet

It is not often that parents accept their mistakes. Getting a young lady a lovely Louis Vuitton bag without a matching wallet was one that they quickly fixed. Thanks again.

A Little More Love for Louis

It's a Louis Vuitton metro card holder. The only Louis item that I purchased. It was a gift to myself for my hard work at the US Open in 2003.

LeSportsac Bag makes the Perfect Vacation Bag

The little dog and I are heading to the shore for a few days of fun at the beach. I will catch up with new bags when I return. Stay cool. x0x0.

My First Love was Louis

This bag was a gift from my Dad and Step-Mom. I think it was for my seventeenth birthday. As you can see the bag and the box it came in are still in pretty good condition. That's quality.

Times Style Section Loves Goyard too

O Boya I want a Goyard

Sample Sales are Awesome

Some time last year, I visited the Le Sportsac sample sale. Le Sportsac has always be a favorite from way back in the day. The sale was fun after waiting over an hour to get in. I quickly realized that it would take even longer to leave if I paid by credit card since the had only one credit card machine working. I counted my cash so I knew what my budget was and could cruise through that line. I was able to purchase 4 bags and this was one of them. It is great for those weekend trips or those days where you need to bring too much work home with you. I like the mix of colors and the hexagon design with roundish shape.

Shiny Candy Wrapper Bag

Who would have thought that candy wrappers would make a lovely bag?

A Curvy Version of the Mexican Straw Bag

Love the Snap Handles

Such fun, old school snap handles on this modern take on the Mexican plastic straw tote.

Pink Gingham Plastic Tote

Barbie Bag with a Twist

It easily could be a Barbie bag with its pink color scheme. However take a closer moment to see that Barbie has raven hair and then look in the corner to see her wearing a jilbab.

Thanks Debbie. This is a great find. Check out her site here

Now, This is a Gift Bag

This was the Whitney Museum's 2005 Art Party gift bag. It was a collaboration between bag maven Kate Spade and artist Ellen Harvey. Isn't awesome?

Small Virgin Bag

Event Bag

As a sometimes event planner, I have certain supplies that I find essential to a successful event. This bag is one of those supplies. Sure I over paid for the first version of this bag but it all worked out when I purchased a second bag far cheaper. I am not sure what the math looks like but it felt like the right thing to do.

A Classic Bag

The Harrods Shopper.

Super Cute Bag

A Few of My Favorite Things in One Bag

This bag features a few of my favorite things; a sparkling Virgin Mary and many Saint medals. However the best thing about this bag is it is a plastic straw bag purchased in Mexico. It was made by crafts women in Oaxaca.

A Perfect Bag for the Beach

Orange Plastic Tote

This bag looked great with my orange crocs. Sadly the orange crocs time has passed.

Almost a Lady's Pride Bag

So close but the handles are wrong and it doesn't fold up into a clutch. So close..

Lady's Pride Set

I got some disappointing news toward the end of the day so once I got home I was looking for comfort. These Lady's Prides bags bring me a lot of comfort. Well let's be serious any bag brings me comfort.

It is also always special treat when you find a matching set of bag and make up bag.

Change is Coming

Today Obama won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. This is big.

As Obama said today, "...I want to make sure you understand what's ahead of us. Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that's very different from ours -- a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush...But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love..."

Let's get working!
