About 2-3 years ago, I got really into Herschel bags. There was one pattern in particuliar that I desperately wanted. It was a bright blue with palm trees. I couldn't find it anywhere except online and if there's something you need to know about me is that I don't pay for shipping. Ever.
So I gave up the search and accepted that I would never have the bag of my dreams.....until one day when my boyfriend brought me to Mile End Kicks.
I live nearby yet never thought about checking it out because it completely slipped my mind that it existed.
But there it was. MY BAG *heart*. My boyfriend surprised me with it and I've had it ever since.
Now I make sure to visit every few months to see if they've gotten anything new recently that could be cool. I don't buy very many shoes so I usually skip that section of the store.
