if he weren't gay, i'd marry him.

So this blog is about fashion, shopping, and everything else I find fabulous. But I have to make one social/political issue very clear. I fully and completely support gay marriage. Just as an fyi. And consequently, I'm in love with a gay man: the one and only Marc Jacobs. Seriously, the title says it all. We're soul mates. Yeah that's him in the picture modeling for LV. See how amazing he is? If an inked, buff, semi-nude designer isn't enough to fuel your love, maybe the MARC by Marc Jacob's accessory collection that's in stores right now will ignite the fire. I'll admit I own only a few things from MJ (a necklace, perfume, a wallet, a t-shirt, a pair of shoes, a bag, and two pairs of sunglasses). Ok well typed out it looks like alot. So maybe I lied. But I guess the point is that I don't own enough stuff from him when you consider the fact that we're getting married. As graduation (and grad party and gift) seasons approaches, I've been looking for tangible items to suggest as gifts. When planning this post, I was just going to highlight a few pieces...but I got a little carried away

1. Glitter and hardware bracelets
2. Classic bow/label necklaces.
3. Monogram enamel bracelets
4. Pretty Nylon Little Tate
5. Graphic Print shoulder bag
6. Bow-toe Flats
7. Pretty Nylon Cosmetic Case
I'm loving the modern bows, the glitter, and the use of hardware. The enamel bracelets are modern with a twist; I'd take any of them in a heartbeat. And I'm a HUGE fan on the Pretty Nylon line. I have the large hobo in royal blue and I'm obsessed with it. All in all, I love the edgeiness of the MARC by Marc Jacob's line. It's young and hip, but still sophisticated. Not to mention it usually runs a little cheaper than the name brand line. Score. Got a grad who needs a gift? She'd be crazy to not flip for an MJ present.

And thank you all so much for reading, commenting, and following! I love hearing from everyone.

Step 1.5: go green, get green

I haven't even shipped in my electronics (see post below if you're confused) but I've already started envisioing what I could buy with that check. Go green, get some green...I'm a fan. My potential purchases are as followed. First are these stunning Kate Spade earrings. My friends got me a pair in an orangey-red color as part of my birthday gift and I'm obessed with them. I want another pair or two or five right now. Perfect touch of bling for any basic outfit. They're pretty big in diameter. It takes a bigger ear to pull them off, but they are beautiful nonetheless. My friends know me so well. What a fabulous gift (hint hint!). Next...ok I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for anything by Marc Jacobs. I don't know why there isn't a store in Denver. I'd work there in a heartbeat. If he weren't gay, I'd marry him. The new Pretty Nylon line is incredible. My mom got me a large hobo bag (to be featured in a later post; I'm a bag whore) and it's amazing. Super durable, super cute and goes just about anywhere. Now enter this pretty little pouch. I just want to own it to hold all my useless junk that I carry around with me at all times. Something men will never understand, the need for a large purse. I'll have to write about that soon, shed a little light on the maxi-bag trend. Last but not least, this pretty little headband from Jcrew. JCrew always has the sweetest accessories. Maybe it's the upper eastside snob within me, but I love headbands. Classy. Oddly enough though, I have an mishapen head or so it seems because very few headbands lay flat against my hair. Awesome. I've created a few clever ways to disguise this though. If I weren't so awful at doing hair I'd conisder posting about it. Maybe I still will. And as I learned from Blair Waldorf, the bow always goes on the right. Good to know. But all that aside...I guess recycling can really pay off!
