La La Lola!

I hate to fall victim to pretty packaging, but I get giddy every time I see Marc Jacobs Lola fragrance. It's whimsical and girly and artsy at the same time. The scent is a little strong (it really does last all day) for my liking, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely. Besides, it'd be gorgeous sitting on the dresser, right?

Pretty in Pink

eLuxury is slashing 30% off on full-priced wallets for guys and gals for one day only (as in: NOW.)

I took a quick peek and now I've got my eye on this foxy little fuschia quilted zip wallet by Marc Jacobs.



I mean, seriously? It's perfect.

New Sunnies.

Sad, but true--my car was recently broken into and while nothing terribly valuable was taken, I am missing my favorite pairs of sunglasses. (Making that the second time sunglasses have been stolen from me!) The nerve... :(

Anyway, I probably won't be buying replacement pairs for a few more months, but in the interim, here are a few chic pairs that I wouldn't mind owning...

MJ Does It Again

Spotted: the latest, not-yet-released limited-edition Marc Jacobs Handbag dangling from the wrist of my little sister's friend.


MJ came out with identical versions of this bag in bright punchy colors this past season (with a glittering frog ornamental clasp as seen here), but the fall version features a deep olive mesh material topped off with a subtly gothic lace-and-satin top compartment.

I spied the bag immediately when I saw her and inquired about its whereabouts. She snapped it up at Neiman Marcus (being retail BFFs with the handbag clerk has its benefits) and has been toting it around town ever since. Other remarks? She claims that it's slightly heavy (I checked it out, and even when completely emptied out, the bag is quite weight-y.) Ugh.

Somebody's ahead of the game.

After today's impromptu shopping spree on Roberston and at the Beverly Center, I think I'll just admire this one from afar.

Or, maybe I'll sweet talk my way into borrowing rights after this post? ;)
