This is one of the most recent additions to my collection. My cute mom bought it for me at the Orange County Swap Meet when we were in California. I get many comments to the massive size of it, but it fits everything...
Another recent purchase that I bought at Santee Alley in Los Angeles, I love the purple color. I have yet to use this one...
The last of my new bags, but I think my favorite. I don't think I can use it until spring, but I love the floral print and the bright blue. It is just a fun, happy bag and I love it...
This bag was purchased on Canal Street in New York (where a large percentage of my bags came from). The print is so popular now, but I like that I bought it a bit before the trend hit Salt Lake...
Another Canal Street find, but this was purchased in a back room. Many of the store on Canal Street have these back rooms that have the "real" bags, or at least the bags with real designer names on them. The back rooms are always an adventure and you usually go through secret doors or stairways to get to them, so funny...
This bag came from a street fair in New York, I really like that it is brown and black, but whatever you wear with it comes out more. It eliminates the brown/black dilemma with a bag...
I wanted this bag while shopping on Canal Street but didn't buy it when I first saw it. When I later realized I wanted it, it was hard to find it again. I love this bag because Amy and Brooke found it at a store and called and asked if they wanted me to buy it. My mom was so confused when I had it later and I told her that "my people" found it for me. Yes, I had personal shoppers...
This bag has one of my favorite stories attached to it. While Jake was living in New York he had me for Christmas that year. It was one of the best presents I ever got, and this was just one part of it. My mom said that he went to Canal Street and called her several times describing bags and asking what I would like. He put so much thought into it and I love it!...
This bag was also purchased at a street fair in New York. I love the bright yellow color and the rope handles. This bag is also huge and could possibly fit a small child in it...
On Malcolm X day we were in New York and traveled to Harlem. We stopped by the ghetto fabulous store that had great cheap clothing, I found this bag and it was $10. I love the colors and the patterns...
This bag is a very old bag and not even a fun story, I think I got it at Ross one day...
This is another boring old bag, but maybe from TJMaxx. I do love the shape of this bag though, it fits perfect under your arm when you carry it, it is like it is barely there...
This bag came from Santee Alley in Los Angeles when I was there two years ago with my mom. It was my first time going there and this was another bag I saw and didn't buy at first and had to go back and find which store it was in (which is a challenge when every other store has the exact same things)...
I love this bag but it has no special story or purchasing location. This was a random lunch run to Ross one day...
I don't remember completely where I got this bag, but I believe it was while I was in New York, sad I don't even remember...
Another bag my mom was so nice to buy me. We went to Farmer's Market downtown early one Saturday morning together and I loved the bag (especially the giant zipper-pulls that always evoke a comment by others). The metallic color and the shape is just so fun...
After looking at all these bags I realize I need to exercise a little bit of self control when it comes to buying bags. I do not need another bag and could probably start a small business selling them. I do love bags and love buying them in fun places.
*Hopefully this doesn't come across as bragging or showing off, I have just had several people interested in seeing all my bags.

Nice, but honestly, I think that is only half of your collection??? Where's my favorite, The Pocahontas? I seriously do not understand the bag fettish, seeing how I just use an oversized wallet as my purse, but I love that you love them so much! I think my favorite is the green bag from Canal street, I am glad Brooke and I could be of service. Hey, we never got our fee for finding it and haggling the price down?
Holy freakin' crap girl! That is impressive! I only have one bag at a time. But I have to tell you, the red square one where you wrote this: "This is another boring old bag, but maybe from TJMaxx. I do love the shape of this bag though, it fits perfect under your arm when you carry it, it is like it is barely there...", that was my favorite purse of all time. I had it forever and never wanted to get another one and it got STOLEN out of my car, they busted my window and stole it and all my birthday money. I have missed it so much every since. So i'm glad someone else darling can still sport it around even though you call it "a boring bag".
I had NO idea you have so many bags!! But they are all beautiful and unique and YOU. Love it!
I LOVE this post. Never too much excess when it comes to bags. They are all so cute! I'm jealous of all the places you got to travel to get them. Love the orange bag from Ross. Have I seen that one yet? You've got great style!
Yes, Jill, Amy and I never got our fee income! Jill, come now! I love all of your bags. That will be fun when we live together and we can share!
Do you need a separate closet just for bags? If you have an old one--large and roomy I could use another one. My Hawaiian bag does't do too well in the winter does it?
WOW. THat's a lot of bags. If I go to New York someday I might just have tp get a couple.
Ok, whoa. Why the heck are commenting on my blog at 1:20 in the morning? Better question? Why the heck am I? Annie is up late crying so I thought I'd console myself with some blogs.
Now freaking post some new material! Loves!
Oh my...I just kept scrolling and scrolling and the purses just kept coming and coming. Do you have a separate room for all of those? Wow!
