back in december, i posted my christmas wish list. to my surprise santa forgot all about me and didn't get me a single thing. i'm not sure why he didn't. i was really good. i'm starting to think that jolly ole fat man isn't real.
one of the items on my wish list was the pendleton plaid weekender, sold by urban outfitters which was the same as pendleton's brodie tartan weekender.
i called back in the late part of november they had 22 available. however, a wonky job situation put better judgement before me and i didn't buy it. i just couldn't justify spending that amount money on something realizing it would be used once or twice.
i called for days to both urban and pendleton, in december and january and february and the weekender was sold out...still
2 saturday mornings ago i had lucky lottery winning feeling.
called pendleton...no bag
called urban outfitters "i'm showing one available sir." i said, "book it...no no...i meant i'll buy it"
and i did...
as i prepare for my quick trip to ny to visit the nate show, i figured it was needful to travel light...yet in style...
and here it is...in my house.
touch it...go head...doesn't it feel all nice and- oh...wait...sorry...i had a moment...

Ummmmm yeah- it's gorgeous! Perfect for a stylish trip to NYC- Im so very excited for you!
Haha, Rashon! I had those feelings for a weekender bag too, several years ago. A beautiful red bag and I bid like a mad woman on eBay for it. I still love it and even though I don't travel a lot, I have gotten enough pleasure out of using it to justify the purchase. You will look oh so stylish traveling to the Nate show with this bag! And, look, it matches the books you are holding it up in front of in the last pic!
Love it and of course you need the perfect bag to travel to see Nate!!
Oh it's just lovely!! How lucky you are!
Phew...I'm glad you got it. I totally agree, traveling in style is much like living in style. It makes us feel good! You deserve it! : )
Don't you just love it when all the stars align ? It was fate that you got it!!!!
That is one snazzy bag Mr. GWH, Perfect for a trip to Nate's show or anywhere. It's good to get something that makes your heart sing.
First of all don't let anyone tell you santa is not real...people have tried but I just stick my fingers in my ear.....la la la la la. Now...WHAT you are going to be with Nate???? Damn I wish he played for my team. Last...that bag...pure class...in the best way!
Woot! It is an awesome bag. I eyed it too but couldn't justify buying it when I have 5 overnight bags. I am sure you got it for a STEAL!
Ooooh, I am jeal-ous!
About those chairs....I talked someone into buying them!!! I could not just let them sit there :)
you will for sure look like you are a native to NYC coming back from an overnight in the Hamptons :)
That is a great bag! OMGosh...I can so see why you wanted one!! It is the perfect size too. Hate hauling oversize luggage and bags for short trips.
Lucky you...I love Nate Berkus! and what a perfect bag to travel with.
PS Santa is REAL he just gets a little busy...merry Christmas.
