Marc by Marc Jacobs Petal To The Metal Evie Hobo

As you’ve seen, one of spring’s biggest trends is neutrals. Mostly, neutral platform pumps, which go great with jeans, slacks, just about anything, really. Whether you go with those, or opt for neutral flats instead, you need a matching handbag, right? Chances are, you have at least one basic-colored handbag in your closet, a black or a brown, maybe a tan or even off-white. Those will work for a lot of outfits, and most of your shoes, but even colors like this that are usually so versatile can clash with the latest neutrals of beige, ecru, and even blush-hued beige. If you’re going to work a trend, then work it all the way, don’t do it half-assed. [click to continue…]

You’ve seen old reruns of Bewitched, right? Remember when Samantha would get some kind of weird witchy disease that affected her magic?

Plus, the fact that this Marc Jacobs bag is called Classic Q Groovee just makes it fun in its own right.

Marc Jacobs Stones Joseph Messenger Bag

When I was a schoolgirl, I had a green canvas messenger bag that I carried until an ink stain rotted through the bottom and punched a good-sized hole through the fabric. I used to pin all sorts of buttons and jewels to the front of it – my idea of a fashion statement, I guess. I had one favorite button, a mother-of-pearl, shiny moon and star made of enamel. I lost that button one day in a fire drill and never saw it again – and I’ve missed it ever since. Now, I know I’ll never find another like it, but Marc Jacob’s newest messenger bag, the Stones Joseph Messenger, reminds me strongly of the bag I once had, and the button that once adorned it.

Berry, berry quite contrary…in Mark Jacobs that is when it’s this vivid berry colored quilted stam.

And what exactly is a stam? I wasn’t quite sure either, but after looking for 10 minutes via my search engine I gave up hope and realized it’s probably one of those fashion-forward words that haute couture designer types like to use to make the rest of us feel like silly little creatures.
