If you live in New York you know that there’s something special about Fall. It feels like there’s a little bit of magic in the air once the humidity has subsided, the leaves start to change color and the cooler breeze in the air puts a pep in just about everyone’s step.
One of my favorite parts about Fall is no doubt the fashion. I live for the days when I can slip back into my favorite jeans, pull out my collection of sweaters and dust off all my favorite pairs of boots. It’s also the time I happen to shop the most!
At this time of year is also when I fall into monochromatic dressing. All white, all gray, all black – I live for this easy way to put together an outfit. But when it came to accessorizing an all gray outfit my handbag collection was lacking so I hopped on over to eBay to score this gray beauty.
I have the mini Furla metropolis bag in white and carry it so much that I decided to get the same style in a slightly larger size. I love the color of it and have already carried it so much. Better yet? While it retails for $428, I scored a brand new one for only $340.
And in case you haven’t shopped on eBay in some time, a few fun facts that you may not be aware of: 80% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new (like the new addition to my bag collection!) and 87% of items sold on eBay are “Buy It Now” meaning there is no bidding or internet stalking necessary.
Given all this, I’ll admit that I am already plotting my next handbag purchase on eBay as a possible “Merry Christmas to me” present – ha!
Paired with super soft gray jeans and a cashmere sweater with the cutest tie detailing, this outfit will no-doubt be a go-to for me in the coming months. (Topped with a gray jacket when the temperature dips, of course ;)).
Hope you guys had a great weekend. I went upstate yesterday to the Kykuit Rockefeller Estate and it was truly incredible! It put into context a lot about New York history I was previously unaware of. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area!

Thank you to eBay for partnering on this post.
Are you sure that bag is real? Designers don’t sell their bags on Ebay, especially at a discount. Usually they are fake ones from China. That is why I always buy directly from the designer. You know that saying, if it is too good to be true….
Hi Michelle – Appreciate your concern! Thankfully I do know how to spot fakes and feel comfortable with eBay as they have multiple ways in which they combat inauthentic products on the site! If I felt the bag wasn’t authentic they’d reimburse me. Great news is that I had a great experience with the seller from whom I bought and I love the bag.
