Jacob's Wristlet

It's funny what fashion can do to a person. In my case, it's changed my wristlet cravings from this totally normal Coach wristlet ($68)...


...to these seemingly ridiculous and yet totally endearing animal wristlets from Marc by Marc Jacobs ($98). The owl one is my favourite.

Happy Anniversary!

I was so thrilled to head over to Nordstrom to check out the anniversary sale and scope out some possible bargains...but this may just be my Nordstrom, in Chicago, but I was actually kind of underwhelmed. I will admit that I didn't have a lot of time, so I didn't really get to go into the clothes, but from what I saw as far as accessories are concerned, there wasn't really much that got me going. I suppose I didn't really go in with a mindset to buy something, but I did just deposit a paycheck and would have splurged had the right bargain come along.

There was one thing that caught my eye, and it usually is this type of thing that does during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's a punchy, pink, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch that I tried on in-store. It's only $82.90, reduced from $125...and I love it. I've been looking at watches lately, because I've been wanting to up the ante as far as staple pieces are concerned (like wallets, watches, and other things you use every day) and I figured a really cute designer watch would be a great way to do it. Unfortunately I didn't make the jump today, but I wasn't really in a spending mood. Maybe next time?


Also, just a side note: I've never really been into fancy brand-name brushes, because I think they're a waste of money, but I tried out the MAC 131 brush, and all I have to say is...love. It's super-soft and light and perfectly shaped and I can just feel that it would be amazing to apply foundation. The lady in-store said the brush was $32, but she might have forgotten because on the site it's listed as $40. Ah well...

Marc...

I could've tried to make a more creative post title, I really could, but...I'm just so quietly happy with my latest purchase! It may seem ridiculous to most, to spend $12 on a hairclip...but I love mine to death. Know why?


...cause it's from Marc by Marc Jacobs. I love Nordstrom Rack! I don't really think there were a whole lot left, I just had to dig through a bunch of headbands (all from Burberry but all very unflattering on me!) to find this lovely little piece of loveliness.

I think I've gone crazy, getting so happy over a plastic hairclip.
