The Other Bag I Purchased on Ebay This Week

New Bag

I haven't bought many bags this summer. This I couldn't resist because of the classic style and the price (99 cents on ebay)

Pattern for the Future

No Bag Sunday

Dogs in wigs makes me laugh, how about you?

Enjoy the end of Summer

I think this was the inspiration to the Miu Miu Beach Bag I featured a while ago.

No Bag Sunday

Fence Mushrooms: An Installation by Big Time's Human.

No Bag Sunday

Man with Bag

While grabbing an iced coffee before escaping the City last weekend, I spotted this fine example of Man with Bag. Unfortunately, I couldn't determine the brand.

Levis Bag I Once Owned

Found this bag at a thrift store in Beacon, NY. It might be the actual bag I had since l donated to some charity ages ago. I thought about repurchasing but didn't.

No Bag Sunday

The Retro Arcade Museum (Beacon, New York) is just a train ride outside of New York City . Not surprisingly, it was not open when I stopped by before Noon on Saturday.

Miu Miu Beach Bag

It's a nice bag but I don't traveling in those circles where it is fine to spend $700 for a Miu Miu Beach Bag.

However, it does give me the idea of making a removable drawstring pouch to make my plastic flea market bag more practical.

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.

No Bag Sunday

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.

Lovely Market Tote

Only $10, click here to purchase.

No Bag Sunday

Thank you Neckface for keeping my travels in the hood interesting.

Happy 4th of July!

From coast to coast.

I love running across Neckface's graffiti; no matter what his message is.

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.

No Bag Sunday

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.
