Vintage Coach

This weekend, I scored some serious vintage finds.  When I visit my aunt, I always take the things she wants to donate or consign to my local places.  When I picked up her most recent bag, I couldn't believe all of the beautiful vintage Coach bags she was leaving behind!  

I actually don't know why I was so surprised.  I still remember getting my first bag from her, which was a classic black satchel.  I got this bag when I was only 9 or 10 years old, back when I had no interest in anything other than sweatshirts and sneakers.  But I am glad I had enough sense to hold onto it.  Almost 20 years later, I'm still absolutely in love it.

Now don't get the wrong idea.  I'm really not obsessed with labels.  I actually often prefer a cheap bag so I can wear it out and not feel guilty about the wear and tear.  But I've always loved the classic styles that Coach has put out.  

This red bag is a something she wanted to donate, and something that I am SO not willing to let go.  Keep your eyes peeled for a few more vintage bags in future posts!

At the Ballet

Weekend recap: still fighting a cold, enjoyed a matinee at the NYC Ballet, spent some quality family time in Brooklyn.

Too busy stressing about the busy week ahead to handle writing in complete sentences... yikes.

I'm Honest

I took one look at my outfit in the mirror today and instantly knew I should be wearing black tights and heels... or at least my black boots.  But, I'm being truthful with this blog.  That's not what I wore.  

Instead, I chose the purple tights because the black ones where in the laundry.  And I wore rain boots because, well, it rained all day and it's horrible outside.  And my black boots need to visit the cobbler before I wear them again. 

That's just life.  I guess that sometimes life gets in the way of fashion.  Hey, at least I'm honest.
