Spring Make Up: Something Old & Something New

I’m trying to get better at looking in my closet/make up drawer before buying anything new. Hopefully “Shop the closet first” will become my new motto. I’ve been pretty poor at this in the past, which is evident by the 20 tubes of mascara that are currently sitting in my bathroom. For my spring make [...]

Kooba bags: 1 & 2

On the subway about two years ago I saw a girl carrying an amazing bag. It was an olive shade of leather with studs all around the handles and pockets. After a couple stops of inching closer to her and that amazing amazing bag I was able to read the Kooba nameplate. I had purchased [...]

LL Bean Hunter’s Tote and a stoop sale success story

One of my favorite things about living in Brooklyn is the many stoops sales when the weather is nice. Sometimes you find exactly what you have been wising for. I’ve had an LL Bean Hunter’s Tote in camouflage on my wish list for a long time (proof of this), not to take on a hunting [...]

Baggu Baggu!

I’m always in the market for reusuable tote bags and had been wanting to check out BAGGU since reading about the bags on Camp Comfort and Wiksten. I ended up picking up two in one day while taking a stroll around my new neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn. The duck bag was first as I [...]

Puckered Canvas Bag from Anthro

For some reason I always feel like I need to have a unique bag for the summer. During hot months leather seems so heavy and oppressive, and I want to carry something lightweight and slightly beachy. For the past too summers I’ve been happily using my JCrew straw tote, but this summer it just wasn’t [...]

Christian Siriano for Payless

I was going to write whole blog review about the Christian Siriano line for Payless…but then my favorite Fashion Herald went and did all the work for me..MWAAHAHAHA…so I’m going to be lazy and just link. My takeaway for this line is that it is super fun & fierce and SUPER impractical, which I assume [...]

..and the shopping gods smile on me

I had some major shopping scores this weekend. I got this beautiful silver necklace (originally from Mexico) for $40 from Stray Vintage down the block from my apt. I got this lovely Queens Maptote, also from Stray. For $20 I now have a new gym bag! And my best purchase of the weekend: a beautiful [...]

Hayden-Harnett for Target

Speaking of fab Target collections,  I have a sneaking suspicion that the Hayden-Harnett collection could be the best ever. Every bag from the collection looks fantastic. The bags hit the store on Dec 28th, so I’m going to make sure I have some money left over after all my Christmas shopping. The above bag is [...]

Anya Hindmarch for Target

I was pretty impressed when I saw the images for the Anya Hindmarch bags for Target and tried to purchase one this past fall when Target had a number of pop up shops in Manhattan for Fashion Week. Sadly the pop up shop was so mobbed I didn’t even see any of these bags, let [...]
