Are you thinking about taking the plunge and getting yourself a grey handbag for Fall? If so, I highly recommend adding this fabulous new Marc by Marc Jacobs bag to the top of your list. Why? Because I recently bought one myself (in Electric Violet) and I can vouch for the sheer amazing-ness of it.
The Classic Q Groovee Satchel ($498) definitely lives up to it’s name. Shown here in Aluminum, it’s a wonderful colour for Fall and can be used throughout the year as well. The bag measures a roomy 15¼”W x 10¾”H x 8½”D, but doesn’t feel …read more

Did you see the Marc by Marc Jacobs show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week? If you were wondering who created that punk rock makeup look to go along with the colorful fashions, it was Dick Page, Shiseido artistic director. Dick has done a variety of the shows at Spring 2010 Fashion Week, ranging from very subtle makeup to extremely vibrant.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs look was relatively simple. You can get that painted on lip color look that is inspired by the bright clothes.
Lips:
Lips were prepped with Aquafor before applying color to the lips. Next, the Perfect Rouge Lipstick in …read more

Earlier this week I talked about the travel friendly Lesportsac bag and while that little cross-body bag is well… little, it’s not practical if you’re the type of gal who has more things to carry around ‘just in case’. I’m one of those ‘just in case’ types myself so I can appreciate a cute, not too big, not too small messenger bag.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Sasha Shoulder Bag ($498) caught my eye immediately and not just because it’s a Marc Jacobs (that’s a plus!). The size, 14.5″W x 11.5″H x 5″D, is just big enough …read more

For the days when you don’t want to lug around 5lbs. of so-called necessities or the days when you’d rather keep your hands free and your back straight, I present to you the newest bag from the cool and quirky Marc Jacobs.
The Dreamy Logo Pocket Pouchette ($298) is shown here in a beautiful Rust colour. It’s made of leather and embossed with randomly placed letters spelling out Marc Jacobs‘ name.  The rust shade is perfect for fall and it’s complemented by the dark brown leather trimming and strap. The strap itself is a mix of gold metal links and leather. …read more

While some designers stick to what they do best, the classic styles and colours, you can always count on Marc Jacobs to add a little quirky playfulness into his handbag designs. He’s not shy about incorporating different colours, textures and adding more than enough embellishments (ahem, the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork bag, anyone?). The newest bag from the Marc by Marc Jacobs line is no exception.
The Flights of Fancy Shopper ($428 at ShopBop) is definitely not your average tote bag!  It’s made of pebbled leather dyed in about 10 different shades creating a playful scene.  You may have noticed the …read more

You can always count on Marc Jacobs to be a trendsetter. Purple will be one of the colours to have for fall and fortunately for all of you, it goes with every skin tone. For Fall 2009, Marc Jacobs has given you a choice of two gorgeous bags, in two price ranges and in two lovely shades of purple.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Groove Satchel ($498) is available in this fabulous Lavender shade. The rich, textured leather is complemented by the gold tone hardware and classic silhouette. It comes with a removable shoulder strap and feet on …read more
