it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

marc jacobs accessories
The Marc Jacobs store is always an interesting visit. I got hooked on the fantasy last year that I too would someday own a Marc Jacobs bag. This one, but in teal to match my eyes, as my friend Jodi pointed out. So what if it cost much more than my rent? I went to visit that bag so often at Saks that the sales people all knew me. Now back to reality, I still like visiting the store to be dazzled by the great designs. Currently, there are particularly lovely small pouch-like bags with wrist handles in subtle metallics. Under $200. Let me see if I can find them online for you. Forget it. The site is all flash. Maybe the bag is on saks.com? No not here either. Well anyway, the strange thing I find about the store is that considering the rest of the high prices, there is always something ridiculously affordable in the accessories cases. Why? Bangle bracelets for $35, leather key fobs for $5. A chunky (buy weird) necklace for $35. Maybe he is just trying to be true to his Rock 'n Roll roots. I don't know. It is nice though. I have 2 bangles and a barette. Go check out the store near you. You will love the wristlet bag.   Labels: accessories, fashion, marc jacobs, shopping
