I confess, I have no self control. Just when I told myself I was going to rein in my spending, there I was buying two more wallets I didn't need. How could I not anyway? I was in One Half, one of my favorite stores in the city where everything sells for half the original price all year round. During sale times, their merchandise even sell for lower.

As soon as I picked these two colorful leather cuties up with an attractive image of NYC and a mural likely from SF's Haight Ashbury, I couldn't put them back down. Total damage: $24 for both. Now that's a steal in uber expensive San Francisco.
