Set Adrift 
Too often we tend to favor simpler palates of neutral shades. But what if we dig into the archives and go for something a little more, well, gauche? Here, the wood paneled walls paired with the orange door and runner in the hallway might be a little much for modern tastes, but the massive piece of ’70s driftwood serving as a foyer table is still pretty spectacular even by today’s standards.

David Bowie Is…
London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is currently showing the very first international retrospective of the artist, who is as famous for his music as he is for pushing the boundaries of art, fashion, and sexuality. More than 300 items have been collected for the show, including handwritten lyrics, original costumes, set designs, and more. Though no one has ever been able to put David Bowie in a box, this remarkable exhibition comes as close to containing the man as anyone ever has. Running now through August 11th, 2013.

Tom Ford’s “Natalia” Bag
With its exaggerated gold hardware and well-structured shape, the “Natalia” bag has been quickly snatched up by Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Aniston to Carey Mulligan. It’s reminds us of a sexier version of Celine’s gorgeous “Box Bag” — which seems about right considering the designer. To see where to purchase this classy piece and many others, head on over to Polyvore.

Your New Best Friend
Proenza Schouler held it down with their “It Bag” of the last two years, the PS1. As indicated by the countless knockoffs that ensued, including a rather cheeky attempt by Target, the PS1 was a wild success. Competitors will certainly start trying to replicate their newer style, the PS11, seen here. There’s a flood of PS1’s on eBay right now. The newer PS11 is harder to come by.

In a Clutch
If you haven’t already, it’s time to say farewell to your hobo bag. Structured purses perfectly compliment a sleek and sophisticated wardrobe and we love this bright orange methacrylate box bag from Zara. So what if you can only fit two credit cards and a Chapstick?

eBay Search Alert: Balenciaga’s “Pumpkin Papier” Tote
By Jauretsi
I’ve been coveting this sweet creation since I saw the images floating around this past New York Fashion Week. It’s the Balenciaga “Pumpkin Papier” Tote created by Grace Coddington and Nicolas Ghesquière. It’s not an easy find… we suspect because nobody wants to give up their Limited Edition jewel. Until we spot one of these rare birds on eBay, here’s a few other Balenciaga Papier Bags or Totes to satisfy the itch.

eBay’s Polyvore Contest Launches Today: Winner Gets $500 Gift Card
by Jauretsi
Our contest, Fall’s Finest with eBay, has successfully enjoyed its first day with approximately 1,000 Polyvore entries. The rules are simple, just use at least one, two, or three eBay items (found on the contest page), and then whip up your own collage narrative. The image (seen above) was submitted by contestant Kat79 on Day #1. Notice how wisely she incorporated eBay’s tan clutch with an organic leafy spirit to illuminate the Fall season. 
The competition runs another four days, so log onto eBay’s contest page and start curating. I’ll be hanging around the site — perusing, commenting, and widdling it down to the final winner. Best collage takes home $500 gift certificate from eBay.
