Pencils. Hair Gel. Bindas.

 

I am quite aware that the man in the Target commercial is saying ‘binders,’ and not ‘bindas,’ but doesn’t that sound like what he’s saying?

Sigh, I love back to school time. The commercials, the new clothes, fall fashion. When I was in school, my mom and I would collect all of the September issues and rip out items for our Fall wish lists.

Ha! And nothing has really changed. Except this time, I took my search to eBay to find something that I have had my eye on for quite some time.

A Cambridge Satchel. I found the classic 11 in a pretty brown for Fall. Even though, I reeaaaaally want the pink one. Like, really bad.

I had a hard time even deciding to get the satchel in the first place. I couldn’t decide between that, wedge sneakers, or something out of eBay Fashion’s curated shops. Have you checked them out? It’s really impressive, there are designer outlets, even a Century 21 and Spanx outlet. American Apparel just joined, woot woot.I had no idea all this existed. I usually shy away from eBay because of the risk you take when you purchase something from someone else but I have to say, the bidding war was fun!

Here’s the thing, though. The bag was labeled as a Cambridge Satchel. Now before I even bid on it, I did hella research to make sure that I was getting what I paid for. So far, so good, so I entered the winning bid.

It comes in the mail and there isn’t a Cambridge Satchel logo on the back. Which was the main thing I was worried about.

Hmm.

Further research showed me that this is from Leather Satchel Co., and are made the same way that the Cambridge one’s are–in London, by hand. I’ve already fallen in love with the bag since it works for perfectly with the school boy look I’m growing quite fond of.
But I am not fond of knock-offs so I just wanted to be clear this wasn’t one.
 I’m about to wear this baby with everythiiiing. Yall know how I do. I’m slowly working Fall items in. First a dark lip, then the satchels and now I’ve busted out the Minnetonkas.Do you guys shop on eBay? What to you think of eBay Fashion?

From the new to the hard to find, when it’s on your mind, it’s on eBay.
p.s.  Compensation was provided by eBay via Glam Media.  These are my opinions, I’m in love with my new satchel 🙂

    The Absent Game

    Involving me and my husband we have owned a lot more MP3 players over the years than I can count, which include Sansas, iRivers, iPods (basic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few several years I’ve settled down to one line of players.
