I Heart Floral Bags

Another Fine Anya Hindmarch Bag

Ms. Laura T's summer bag. An excellent choice.

Sometimes a Photo is Enough

I think it is true for this bag.

Newspapers & MagazineTote

I would love to add this bag to my collection.

No Bag Sunday - Street Art Sticker

Sorry I haven't posted lately. I promise I am back.

Possible Bike Saddle Bags

I love the bike bag Ms. BitchCakes has her Hello Kitty Bike so I asked her about. It is this super cute brand called "Basil." I like this one!

Off to PA for the Weekend

Working for the Weekend

Fossil Bags

I am oddly attracted to these bags. I resisted purchasing one today. Still attracted none the less.

Empty

My heart is empty like the wine rack he made. Well, my heart isn't really empty and I need to purchase some wine.

I just thought it was a fun little quote I came up with the other night.

A Gift from the Nebbish Troll

It was a birthday present probably like 7 or 8 years ago. He really knew me.

No Bag Sunday - Fresh Flowers

Bag of Hexagons

Bike to Work Day

This day also marks two weeks of VALENCIA and I commuting to work on my bike. I love it! And VALENCIA is starting to.

Pears for Thursday

Patterns

I really enjoy this tile. I am sorry I didn't spend more time at this cafe. It was beautiful designed and served a lovely cappuccino and yummy pastry.

Getting Close

I have been looking for a white bubble clutch that I had in high school. I remember the store I purchased it from. I remember trying to determine the best way to carry a clutch with all my books.

This is the closest I have found so far. It is for sale here.

Great Bags on the Subway

Saw this a while ago on the Subway. I loved the color and shape.

No Bag Sunday - Flowers on the Waterfront

Dreams on Fire

Some times the hardest thing about dreams is you just got to sit back and let the universe do its work. Not too long ago, I made a list of some big dreams for myself. That list has been sitting in a sealed envelope like instructed, but still I was trying to work them instead of just forgettting about them, again as instructed. When I realized what I was doing, I decided I should just set them free and what better way is there than to set them a blazed. Of course, I still have my charm necklace with two dreams in lockets but those are there to remind me to be open when my dreams come a knocking.

Gone for the Weekend

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.

Sparkle Ballet Shoes

These arrived in the mail today. Can't wait to wear them!

Where's that May Weather?

Hoping it will be warmer soon.

Maiden Journey

No Bag Sunday - Shepard Fairey Print

Hello My Name is ______________

I am still feeling a little out of sorts. I think it could be because we are right in the middle of Mercury being in retrograde. For those who don't know astrology, Mercury in retrograde leads to communication delays and mishaps.

Beasties & Spade

I always quote the Beastie Boys when I am returning to Brooklyn from adventures in Manhattan, San Francisco or beyond. I think I might need to purchase in Fall 2010.

For Sale at Buffalo Exchange

One of the bags I recently sold to Buffalo Exchange. Even though I haven't used this bag in years, I kinda want to buy it back.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Discovered cascarones (confetti filled eggs)! They are awesome and should become a party staple.

Irregular Choice

Saw this quote while checking the Irregular Choice store in Soho. I love their shoes and its sense of whimsy.

My Black Dress

The perfect black dress to rock my Japanese style.

No Bag Sunday - Faux Flowers

My weekend wrist corsage ... made it by myself.

A Wish For Friend Going Abroad

Wishing my dear friend and former intern, Sara, an amazing adventure abroad. I can't wait to receive the emails about life in Israel and catching up.

A Fine Suede Bag

A Lovely Floral Bag

Getting My Bike Fixed Today

A lovely bike but sadly not mine. Today's plan is to bring my bike in for a spring tune up.

I HEART Flower Candlestick Holder

These are awesome!

Insides of My Faux Goyard Bag

It was the perfect bag for my trip to Miami back in January.

No Bag Sunday - VALENCIA & Bella

Thank you JD, Hy & Miss Bella for taking such good care of my baby.

Charm City = Baltimore

Road Trip: Charm City

I Heart Molly Ringwald

A few things about me ... I love "Pretty in Pink." I came of age during the brat pack era. I cried a little during this year's Oscar's tribute to John Hughes. I preordered "Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick"

And finally, I love advise books. In fact, I started collect them. My first purchase was Tiger Beat Presents Susan Dey's (from Partridge Family Days) Secrets on Boys, Beauty and Popularity.

Zig Zag-ing through Life

I have been a bit out of sorts the last few days. I was going through the motions and being more concern about Captain Craft's comfort then my own. I really hadn't realized what was happening until I asked a friend for a little advise. At the moment I said it out loud, it all made sense to why I wasn't getting satisfaction from my actions, why I was needier than usual, just plain uncomfortable and not flexible.

What the heck does that have to do with bags? Life is about zig-ing and zag-ing just like the bag above. I think I was just zig-ing, going though motions for him and ignoring myself. Once I realized I could zag and things shifted. With that one zag, I was open to others and could get back to being awesome me without worrying about everything else.

I Heart Norma Kamali

Happy the weather is just perfect for my Norma Kamali - Women's Athletic Batwing Cardigan.

Norma Kamali is one of my favorite designers. I discovered her from my Up to Date retail days at the South Hills Mall.

Orange Ya Glad ...

I am who I am. And you know me.

No Bag Sunday - Faux Flowers

My Charm Necklace

I've been wearing this necklace nearly every day since the Mondo Beyondo class ended.

Key to the Charms (Left to Right):
Large Heart to remember "You Can Trust this Dream", St. Expedient medal from an amazing road trip to New Orleans, Pope John Paul II medal that a gift from a friend who visited Rome, a small heart locket holding a dream of big love, handmade medal listing various adjectives to the word "religious" purchased in the East Village during the early 90s, a Frida medal from my trip to Seattle where I saw her show every day I was there, and finally an anchor of hope. There used to be other charms like a sun with various stones set in it which I purchased in San Francisco and a silver swallow I got in Williamsburg ... One fell off and the other fell apart.
