New Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

New bag alert! I scored this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag at Barney’s SF for a STEAL over the holidays. Normally retailing around $328, it was at Barney’s for only $99! It’s a great casual bag, really roomy, and I adore the red/tan striped strap.

Though I’m always tempted to buy something right when it hits the shelf, I constantly have to remind myself to be patient and wait for the sales. Luckily, most of the items I want don’t always sell out and if they does, there are always ways to hunt it down. I guess that’s what eBay is for right? I spent almost a year hunting down the Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Sasha Bag and I eventually found it! Of course the down side is that I had to wait one whole year to find it, but that’s another story. If you’re not living in New York and not competing with other fashion crazed people to have the latest and greatest clothing item, waiting one season is really not that bad.
