This took the longest time to arrive... 1 month to be exact... Not once have any of my online purchases taken a month to arrive... thru no fault of the seller... I was starting to worried that it was lost... I was so happy when I opened the mailbox today and there it was... It totally lifted my spirits and kept me in a wonderful mood the whole day...
I couldn't wait to rip open the package but not before I took a snap...
Presenting... from the Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2011 collection...
The seller enclosed a vintage postcard with the package
MBMJ black leather bracelet with gold/tri coloured alphabet enamel disc...
I first saw this bracelet at the MBMJ counter at Isetan Scotts and shall I say... It was love at first sight... I fell deeply in loved when the SA took it out and double toured it around my wrist... sad to say... the S$160 price tag nipped the 'relationship' in the bud before it even had a chance to 'blossom'...
Determined to reunite... I started my hunt online...
As Fate would have it... I found it online 2 weeks later... as if it was meant to be... the Buy It Now price was... US$35!!! with S/H at only US$10!!!... My eyes almost popped out...
"It's too good to be true"
"I must have seen wrongly... there must be something wrong"
I must have read the item description at least 3 times...
Nope... I read correctly... it was brand new with no defects... there were no hidden fine print anywhere...
Absolutely convinced it was totally legit... I clicked the buy it now with shaky fingers... Few seconds later the deal was sealed...
Destiny... as they say...
"It's mine... It's mine..."
I was totally delighted... anxiously waiting for it to arrive... 2 weeks became 3 and then 4... every day I would open the mailbox only to be disappointed... yes... my heart literally dropped each time...
"Why is it not here yet?"
Just when I have given up... just when I thought that it was all to good to be true... just when I was contemplating if I should contact the seller...
It came...
Oh oh oh... It more pretty than I remember.
Thick black leather band, studded with jumbled gold enamel discs of white, black and powder blue... embossed gold alphabet on each disc... un scramble the discs and what does it spell???
What else but...
... MARC BY MARC JACOBS...
At S$60... it was... for my sake... I hope it not the last... the steal of the year...
