I''m in love

[AmberGretchen]

I saw it yesterday at Nordstrom - sitting innocently on a shelf, grinning down at me. Its just perfection - the color, the size, the styling. I can''t stop thinking about it. I''m trying to figure out if I can scheme some way to get it...I don''t know if anyone else has seen this color in person - but its absolutely amazing

 

[LollyBear]

That''s a really cute bag - definitely

worthy!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Thanks StephensBride - I admit, I''m head over heels for this one. I''m sitting here at my lab, trying to do experiments, but really I''m scheming about how I can get this bag LOL

Is that your little one in your av? Totally adorable

 

[LollyBear]

If I were working right now I'd be right there with you which is why I try and stay out of the shopping thread (everything is too tempting here). LoL

ETA: Yup, that's my baby girl. >

 

[neatfreak]

Ohhhh adorable! I love it. I am such an enabler...I will see if I can find a coupon for you somewhere.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Hehe - thanks NF

Don''t worry too much about being an enabler - I''m perfectly capable of getting into plenty of trouble with these things all on my own

Plus, if I find a coupon, I can use "its on sale" as a selling point in talking DH into it, right?

I know they sell it at Nordstrom and Bloomie''s

Well, *technically* I'm not working right now either - I'm in a full time PhD program. But I do get a stipend, and they pay all my fees and tuition, etc...Plus I'm (hopefully) graduating in less than a year, and then I should be making a lot more money. Then I'll really be tempted to shop

Your daughter is darling - love the hair

Amber, is that Marc Jacobs? It looks lovely!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Yes, its Marc by Marc Jacobs, so not as expensive as the regular Marc Jacobs stuff, but still out of my (very limited right now) budget...

 

[gailrmv]

I love the color! Maybe it will go on sale? Check on Smarbargains, sometimes they have great deals! Fingers crossed that it will be yours soon.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Thanks sweetie - I''ve got my fingers crossed too, I''m going to keep an eye out for it on every website I can think of

 

[diamondsrock]

Man, that bag is gorgeous. I''d carry that anyday!

 

[beau13]

Beautiful style, does in come in a metallic color?

 

[AmberGretchen]

beau - I know it did come in a metallic in the Fall, in a similar style (might not have been exactly the same). Not sure if it does now.

Are you anywhere near a Marc by Marc Jacobs store? I''m in San Francisco, and I know we have one here, but not sure where else they are.

 

[iheartscience]

Ooh, I saw that bag at Saks and at the Marc by Marc store in Boston...the color is gorgeous! You have to get it!

It''s pretty new but you might be able to find a coupon code on The Purse Forum if you try!

I love the Turnlock bags! I have the Turnlock Teri in a great brick red color from a few years ago and it''s so soft and beautiful! I promise you won''t regret getting it!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Hehe thing2 - I think you and I are a bad influence on each other with the Marc by Marc Jacobs

Seriously, I don''t think I would regret it unless my DH stopped speaking to me...

But even then it might be worth it, as long as he only stopped for a little while

 

[Fancy605]

It''s a beautiful bag. Do you have a Nordstom''s Rack in your area? Sometimes if people return a bag with no tag or if dust bag or something is missing, they send it over to the Rack, where they GREATLY discount it. It''s a long shot, but you never know what you may find there.

 

[AmberGretchen]

That''s a good thought Fancy - we have several Nordstrom Racks near us, so I''ll try to check them and see if any of them are carrying similar things. I know the one that''s closest to my lab gets a lot of the designer stuff from the big Nordstrom in downtown SF, so that one might be a good bet...

 

[wishful]

Great color!!!! I hope you get it!
