No Bag Sunday

Red velvet donut ice cream sandwich from Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Thank you Miss Heather for the introduction!

Marc Jacobs Beach Bag

Super cute...Only $18 at Marc by Marc stores...I wish I could find an excuse for another bag... Or maybe a future treat from the Williamsburg Gays for caring for Miss Bella.

TopShop Tote

Much cuter than TopShop Opening Totes...almost makes me want to spend money. Thanks Hy for the heads up.

No Bag Sunday

Flowers from my local CSA which I am not a member...maybe next year.

Colorful Plaid Market Bags

Spotted on my afternoon walk with VALENCIA. Only $20 at Houndstooth (Driggs Avenue between North 9 & 10 Streets in Williamsburg).

Part of the Cult

I broke up with Verizon and took up with AT&T. Yup, all for love of an iPhone. And guess what? I get better service in my apartment, at the yoga studio and a bunch of other places. Who would have known.

Can you believe I bought something from WalMart?

I have been looking for a new pair of summer shoes. I didn't want another pair of Havaianas. I didn't want another pair of CROCS sandals. And the patent leather Birkenstock just didn't look cute enough to justify spending $80.

Today, I explored the Norma Kamali for WalMart collection and discovered these Thong Sandals for only $6.00. I purchased two pairs and should have by Friday or Saturday. I hope they are as cute as the photo. I will let you know.

A New Direction

Hello Loyal Readers (Lauren, JD & Hy!),

Sorry I haven't updated A Perfect Bag for awhile. You may remember that I started this blog with the idea that I would document the beauty of bags every day for a year. I hit a year's worth of daily blogs/bags sometime back in March.

After a little break, I have decided to continue but with a twist...I am going to sketch a bag a day for a year.

I hope you will check back regularly because it should be interesting.

My Hero, RACHEL ZOE, Gives Back

Rachel recently hosted some ebay charity auctions of items from her personal collection. These earrings caught my eye but was out of my price range given my current economic situation. Ah, one can dream.

Plastic flower bits.

Thinking about a New Wallet

Here's one in yellow. This could work. I am watching it on Ebay - Ireland.

Thinking about a New Wallet

This might be more my coloring but I am not sure about the style. So much to think about.

Thinking about a New Wallet

And I am thinking it might be time for an Orla Kiely one. Here's one I found on Ebay. I am not sure if I am a red patent leather type of girl.

Next Project

A little something to keep me busy...I will let you know how it turns out.

Knitting/Crochet Brunch This Sunday

Nothing is better than a little knitting or crocheting (whichever is your poison) a pint of hard cider or bloody mary, a bagel with the fixings at Brooklyn Ale House and the little dogs.

A belated shout out to Lauren for the lovely knitting/crocheting bag...thanks.

Graffiti from San Francisco

I saw this sad candy corn a few times in San Francisco. I just love it.

Cat in a Bag: A Tribute for Miss Kitty

It is with real sadness that I inform you that Miss Kitty passed away earlier this week. She was a loyal cat who tolerated my love of little dogs especially when VALENCIA join our household.

I rescued Miss Kitty from a few months of caged life at the ASPCA in Poughkeepsie. She was not a young cat or my first choice. However she ended up being the perfect cat for me.

She spent most of her life in Williamsburg where she had worked as a fierce hunter during the early years and transitioned into a reliable alarm clock alerting me in the morning that it was time for fresh food and water. She was so good at letting you know her needs.

She loved bags nearly as much as I do. She always found a way to sit in any plastic bag left on the counter or sleep in a good shopping bag on the floor or to pose for the camera in an fancy bag.

It is sad to look on top of the fridge and not see her. Please take a moment today to think of Miss Kitty.
