Bag for Rock the Bells


The perfect bag to carry everything I needed to rent a car and spend all day and night at Jones Beach watching a little Back Pack rap.

Thank you Fred Flare!

The Artist's Receipts



The new job means that my work for the Artist will transition from Girl Friday to off-site bookkeeper. I am going have to
find a better system to organizing the Artist's receipts.

Starting a New Job


Just like the first day of school, the first day of a new job is a welcomed opportunity to purchase new office supplies especially when the office is only a few blocks away from Muji.

It feels good to be downtown.

Lynne, thanks for the gift,

A colorful approach to string market bags.

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.

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

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!

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 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.

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.
