When I was in the store yesterday, I saw some quilted handbagsthat looked VERY Marc Jacobs. For people that want that look, and don't want to drop 1000.00+ for a bag, they might be a good alternative, especially with a % off coupon. For that kind of money, I'd rather stalk March Jacobs bags on Ebay.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 8:52Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-10775557585853096562008-07-07T16:33:00.000-04:002008-07-07T16:33:00.000-04:00For me it is a leave it, unless it goes DRASTICALL...For me it is a leave it, unless it goes DRASTICALLY on sale. I don't particularly like the colors, and it is too one dimensional for everyday usage. It would be like, oh no, here comes Jeannie with her huge red patent bag again. I am more into LV which is subtle and goes with practically everything (cleans up nicely too). I did order the Owen bag in the champagne color, but who knows if/when that will ever arrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-61027156233144801452008-07-07T14:51:00.000-04:002008-07-07T14:51:00.000-04:00Hdayton: I think it's an adorable bag and yellow i...Hdayton:<BR/> I think it's an adorable bag and yellow is a great color.

I don't hate it or think it's ugly, it's just a plain bag.<BR/>About paying more for shoes and bags: every once in a while magazines will do something about cost per wear, meaning that since you use a bag more than you would use something else, it is okay to pay more.

I am considering buying Las Palmas bag in Platinum at full retail (minus educators discount). BTW, as a last year resident, I am teaching as well, so from now one I think I can get an educators discount. If only my stores would allow it in top of sales.
