My Shopping Conquests... Online... MBMJ iPhone Case... Rubber Bracelets

Guess what came in the mail today...


From Shopbop.com...


More Marc by Marc Jacobs items...


From pre S/S 2012 collection...

Mr Marc iPhone case...


I have been drooling over this Mr Marc iphone case ever since I lay eyes on it...

 http://borntoshopforcedtowork.blogspot.com/2012/01/drooling-over-marc-by-marc-jacobs-mr_04.html

But missed getting it and it became sold out... so imagine my excitement when I chance upon it again on Shopbop and promptly bought it...

Rumours has it that this might possibly be the last time Mr Marc Jacobs will be collaborating with Will Broome for Mr Marc/Miss Marc designs... which I hope is not true because... these characters have become symbolic icons for MBMJ and would be missed by many... myself included...

Marc By Marc Jacobs Rubber Turnlock Bracelet...


Made of silicon rubber... in neon hues of fluoro pink ( fuchsia)... amethyst (purple)... shock red (deep orange)... bright grass (green)... Iris (Navy Blue) and Black... and each comes with a small turnlock charm in either silver, gunmetal or gold...

I first saw these at the MBMJ store at Isetan where i bought one immediately as a gift for Sista CT's upcoming birthday...

So when I saw Shopbop offering these at a better price... I just couldn't resist...

I got both the the black with silver charm... and the Iris with gunmetal... simply because I couldn't decide on one...

Finally got my hands on... thru dearest friends that travelled... Marc by Marc Jacobs London Store Special Items...

Big thanks and hugs to RG and KW... for helping me to shop at the MBMJ store in London... as well as... helping me lugged back my mini haul...

I had to restrain myself from buying everything in the store... and decided on some items that I have been drooling over...

MBMJ Lock necklace... suede tour bracelets in black and brown... key fobs... Dark Heather Grey MBMJ City Tee...


The lovely black and olive green tote was a gift from RG... Thank you dear... Luv... Luv... Luv... it!

MBMJ Flip Flops... finally!!! Only GBP7 a pair!!!

Drooling over... Marc by Marc Jacobs London Store...Special Items

RG... who is on his romantic... much anticipated... trip in London... to visit KW... whom we have not seen in a few months... both were sweet and generous enough... to find time to whatsapp me from the MBMJ store in London... which carries a small range of Special Items... to give me a chance to shop virtual... and help pick up some stuff for me... Sweet yah???

Price is relatively just a few dollars more than what I would pay for if I were to get them in New York... but considering the exorbitant price of shipping... the UK price is comparable indeed...

Some snap shots of the items that were available...





Thank you RG and KW... you are the sweetest... thank you for sharing your London trip with me... and most of all... thank you for helping me get the things I have been drooling over... Hugs & Luv...

Have a great time in Scotland...

Today happens to be Mr Marc Jacobs birthday... 09th April 1963....which makes him 49 today!!!

My Shopping Conquests... Marc by Marc Jacobs... Standard Supply Tote... iPhone Case... Earrings

After scrimping and saving... here and there... everywhere...

I was able to 'reward' myself with some lovely MBMJ items I have been drooling over...


From MBMJ Resort 2011 collection...


Blue Denim Standard Supply Tote... Large...


This roomy tote... features 'M' banding at the front and back. Stenciled logo lettering at front... leather logo patch at back. Tonal double handles... velcro and leather closure... with a huge interior zip pocket...


From MBMJ S/S 2012...


Stardust iPhone case...


Marc Mini Charm Earrings... from F/W 2011...


Of course... I would have been able to save even more... if I had bought these online... but I felt it was time for me to get my very own Club 21 card...

and finally I will be let me in on Club 21 sale previews and clock points for vouchers... so I guess... that's savings for the long run???

My Shopping Conquest... Smart Magazine GWP... Head Porter Plus Wallet

Head Porter Plus is the apparel arm of Head Porter... Head Porter is... of course... the infamous collaboration between designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and Porter by Yoshida Kaban bags...

While in Japan ... I was drooling over not just the Porter but the Head Porter bags... Yes it is cheaper to get them there but they still cost an arm and leg... Then there are the street chic coats and apparel of Head Porter Plus... Double drool...

So I have been eagerly awaiting for May issue of Smart magazine... in particular its GWP... Head Porter Plus item...

This is not the first time Head Porter Plus has collaborated with a magazine for a GWP... there have been many other magazine Head Porter Plus items... like pouches and pouches and more pouches... ethere was once a  Swiss army knife... all of which I don't particularly care for or need...

But this time round... it is a wallet... a zipped around wallet... This I heart...


Made of black vinyl... with embossed stars and Head Porter Plus label... the zipped around wallet has lots of compartments for cash... cards and coins...


Kinokuniya still have lots of stock....
