Marc by Marc Jacobs




Marc's new Spring/Summer 09 collection and more, is available for viewing online at his website http://www.marcjacobs.com/ Although his MbyMJ collections are a little juvenile, I have to say they are constructed with all the love and care has is high end Marc Jacobs line. Personally I actually like the MbyMJ line better (I have the Airliner clutch from fall 08 and it's like butter) There are a few pieces in the 09 collect that just make me drool. Check it out.

MCM at Bloomingdales

For all of you that didn' t know, our favorite old school handbag brand is available at Bloomingdale's. Call me oblivious, but I had no clue until about a year ago. So, if you feel the need to bring back your "back to the 80's glory day's" Bloomingdales has your fix. You can find some pretty BUMPIN' (sorry I had the say it) bags. "Great, now all i need is Starter Jackets to make a come back and i will have all the things my mom wouldn't buy me as a teen". Yeah, I'm real bitter about the Starter Jacket situation.
