buying secondhand from places like the TRR (but also consignment stores, vintage shops, etc) only sucks if you're only interested in whatever's trendy, especially whatever's trendy in the designer space. I snagged a great, practically new olive green leather tote from Cuyana for over half the retail price. Know what you like!!!

In the 90s, their tagline was “the difference between dressed, and well dressed.” Some products age much better than others and these are up there. Narrow the search to shoes and bags.

Did Coach drop the coolest bag of the year? Yes. It’s also a bargain (comparatively) as opposed to other hot girl bags™️ — The Row Margaux +$3,000 / Saint Laurent Sac De Jour +$3,000 / Hermes Birkin $HAHAHAHA — all are competing with a ~$700-ish bag. I absolutely love when brands put out items that punch way above their price range. And Coach‘s leather game has been incredible for years now, even if the bags they packaged the leather in weren’t always as incredible. Not saying you should go drop the $ tomorrow, but I do think if a bag was on your radar, this is the best bang for your buck in terms of stepping into the higher-end bag game. Also did we acquire one for wifey today? — HELL YEAH WE DID.

About a month ago I was at a drugstore not far from my house when something chic happened. This was surprising because the circumstances (refilling a prescription for a pill to treat a fungus on my toe) and the location (a Walgreens in Bushwick), really weren’t chic at all. Nevertheless! There I was browsing the shelves when I saw this young cool woman carrying an amazing bag. It was a crossbody nylon Prada purse—I don’t know if it was actually from the ‘90s or if it just looked like it was—and crucially the strap was chain link, making it seem like a Chanel knockoff. I followed the woman around stealthily trying to catch as many glimpses of the purse as I could, and when I got home I started googling the resale sites and found something similar! Thank you anonymous Walgreens inspiration! (The link I put in is for a sold-out bag but you can probably find something similar if you search eBay etc.)
