Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Mouse Tote

There’s something about cute little animals that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My husband and I took a trip to the zoo just a few weeks ago and I have had animals on the brain ever since. I especially loved seeing the adorable hyraxes perched high up on the rocks in the desert exhibit. Oddly enough, however, I also have a soft spot for the not-so-furry animals in the desert exhibit as well. Heh… but I’m sure not everyone that visits the zoo feels the same way about them as I do.
Being that I love animals so much, it’s no surprise that I simply love it when Marc Jacobs incorporates animals into his designs. So when I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Mouse Tote, pictured above, I just knew I had to write about it. I absolutely adore the chubby little mouse printed on the front side of this tote. He even has gold-tone studs for eyes and a Marc by Marc Jacobs button adorning his ear. Obviously, this tote is not meant for everyone. But if you loved the Marc Jacobs Mouse Ballet Flats, then you should definitely add this piece to your collection! I think this cotton tote would make an adorable bag for school, a casual day of shopping, or the even beach!

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Graphic Mouse Tote 20″ x 10″ x 6″ and it retails for only $128. Pick one up at Shop Bloomingdales.com.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Salma Satchel
by BrS on June 8, 2009 6 comments
Leave it to Marc Jacobs to be down-right unpredictable at times! I love Marc, but sometimes I just get blindsided by something completely unexpected. Take the Marc by Marc Jacobs Salma Satchel bag for example. Pretty plain-looking, isn’t it? My point exactly! Marc Jacobs has had some pretty wacky and crazy designs lately, some of which I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at. But with this bag, Marc has done a complete 180!
So how do I feel about the Marc by Marc Jacobs Salma Satchel? It’s actually starting to grow on me! I admit it is a bit plain and so out of character for Marc, especially when it comes to his MBMJ line. But I really think this would make a wonderful bag for when you want something sleek, simple, and structured. Something that you could use when you’re headed to a business meeting or other event that requires some serious attire. Plus I’m really liking the asymmetrical seams and the cute little MBMJ buttons. They give this bag just the right amount of character.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Salma Satchel measures 13″ x 8″ x 4″ and it retails for $398. Find it in Black at Saks: Marc by Marc Jacobs Boutique.

*thrifty thrill* Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Sailor Marc Tote
by Marissa on June 1, 2009 14 comments
I’ve never been too fond of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc collection.. Fashionista’s world wide have been in love with Miss Marc for some time, but to me the collection was always so bland. I recently came across the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Tote, and I was pleasantly surprised that I actually loved it! It wasn’t tacky, and was the perfect little tote for a sunny day.
The tote is made of canvas, has dual handles, and has a front exterior zip pocket. The measurements of the tote are, 14″ wide x 14 1/2″ high giving you plenty of room for all of your essentials. Only downfall about this handbag is that I wouldn’t wear this tote all year round. Being that the handbag is white with colors, and features Miss Marc on the front; I would strictly wear this handbag during the day and only in the Spring and Summer. To me, the handbag is too fun and wild to be worn in the Fall or Winter, but of course that is just my opinion.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Tote can be purchased at Zappos for $129, which is a great price compared to the $152 original price tag. Miss Marc is one of Marc Jacob’s most popular designs, and if you like the tote I would purchase it quickly because with a sale price like that I’m sure it won’t be around for long.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Tobo Bag
by Marissa on May 28, 2009 8 comments
Marc Jacobs never disappoints when it comes to designing handbags. Whether it’s for his Marc Jacobs or Marc by Marc Jacobs line, he always has stunning handbags for each collection. My newly favorite Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag is the Softy Tobo Bag. The Softy Tobo Bag comes in three different colors: Bianco (white); Black; and Deep Fuchsia. Each color on the bag looks gorgeous. Usually when a handbag comes in a variety of colors, only one or two colors look decent on the bag. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Tobo Bag looks so good in all the colors it comes in, that it may be kind of hard just to choose one to buy!
Some details of the handbag include: a magnetic snap closure; exterior elastic slip pockets; interior pockets; and striped lining. My favorite detail of the bag have to be the exterior slip pockets. I love when their are pockets located on the exterior of the bag because if I’m in a rush I can easily put my keys, lip gloss, or even cash in one of the pockets without shuffling through my purse.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Tobo Bag can be purchased at Nordstrom for $498. The bag is adorable but I do believe that the price tag for this purse is a little much. I would rather put that big chunk of change towards a Louis Vuitton Speedy but of course that is just my opinion. High price tag or not, this handbag is adorable!

Marc Jacobs Softy Zip Around Wallet
by Marissa on May 22, 2009 7 comments
I have been drooling over zip around wallets lately. They seem so convenient and much easier to handle and carry around than a button wallet. Also, they definitely give you the peace of mind that nothing will ever fall out of your wallet, since the inside is fully closed with the zipper.
One zip around wallet that caught my eye on Zappos was the Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Large Zip Around. The wallet is simple, but yet it’s stunning. Who knew that such a simple wallet could catch someone’s eye. I think this wallet is eye catching due to the cursive writing on the front of it. The wallet features a logo plate that says, “Marc by Marc Jacobs.”
The wallet comes in two different colors: Black and Pale Grey. My ultimate favorite is the Pale Grey, which is shocking because usually I’m in love with anything that is black leather. I love the Pale Grey so much because it really lets the logo plate stick out. In the black version the logo plate is kind of unnoticeable because of the ultra dark color.
Details of the wallet include: quilted accents; zip around closure; leather interior; credit card slots; and a full length zip pocket.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy Large Zip Around can be purchased at Zappos for $201.95. The price tag seems a little high for a wallet that is so simple, but no one can deny that it’s stunning.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply Classic Tote-Ally Tote
by Marissa on May 20, 2009 6 comments
I love carrying a big tote to school because I’m able to fit everything I need in it and I don’t have to carry anything else! It’s so great when a bag is big enough to carry all my books, notebooks, lap top and all my other essentials. It definitely is convenient when you can find a bag that can fit everything you need in it for school or even for work.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply Classic Tote-Ally Tote has writing on the front that says, “Marc by Marc Jacobs, Standard Supply, Model # 0221.60, Type: Tote.” I always think it’s tacky for nothing to be on the handbag but big writing that pretty much gives free advertisement to the designer, but on this bag it’s not that bad. I feel like the writing on this tote suits the it well.
Some of the details of the tote include: dual handles; contrast stitching; platform bottom; top zip closure; interior pockets; and interior lining. The measurements of the bag are 14″ (width) x 10 1/2″ (height), which gives you plenty of room for all of your essentials. As stated above, the tote is so spacious that is would be great for work, school, travel, or just on those days where you have more than usual to carry.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply Classic Tote-Ally Tote can be purchased at Zappos for $151.95. It can be purchased in either, Faded Army Green or Washed Ink, which is basically black. Whichever color you choose, this would be a great tote to add to any collection.

Big handbags are definitely in style. Every designer out there is making extra large handbags, and bagista’s world wide are buying them up. Marc Jacobs has come out with a beautiful handbag called the Classic M Gathered Hobo for his Marc by Marc Jacobs line and it’s stunning. Not only is the handbag huge, but it’s also made in three different beautiful colors: Chamois (pale yellow); Pale Grey; and Pebble (brown).
All three colors the handbag comes in is gorgeous but, I have to admit, I think a black version would look best in this handbag. The measurements of the Classic M Gathered Hobo are, 19″ (width) by 12 1/2″ (height), which gives you so much room that the handbag would be a great for traveling or just on those days where you feel the need to carry more than usual.
Other details of the handbag include: Marc by Marc Jacobs hardware detail on the front; interior lining; interior pockets; and a removable shoulder strap.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic M Gathered Hobo can be purchased at Zappos for $437.95. The price of the handbag isn’t that bad considering that it’s spacious, gorgeous, and is designed by one of the hottest designers out there. If you love Marc Jacobs, then this would be a great handbag to add to your collection.
