Marc by Marc Jacobs - Saving the Birds!

Marc by Marc Jacobs has done it again. Yet another offering of products I'm finding it very hard to resist spending my life's savings on ... Must. Resist. Must. Resist. MUST RESIST!

Any regular readers will be aware of my soft spot for bird-related items, so all these lovely things from Marc by Marc Jacobs have got me weak at the knees (and purse strings... NO! PUT IT AWAY!)

Let's have a peak shall we . . .

Shoegazer loves: Bags + Birds = BAG LUST!

Oh my. I am in love with a bag again. And again, it's too expensive to own! Woe is me! But... but it's so perfect! It's the exact shade of leather bag I've been after AND it has the most adorable little birds acting as clasps. Oh Marc Jacobs... who knew you'd become my favourite bag pusher??

More affordable is the smaller grey version (£175 on Net A Porter). I can't really justify spending that much on a bag (where's a birthday when you need one??) so I found another way to satisfy my leather+bird cravings (see below). But first, let's all drool over this brilliantly birdy bag.

Rather than spend all the money I should be saving on a bag, I got this lovely belt by NW3 for Hobbs (via ASOS) instead. It has much the same vibe as the Marc by Marc Jacobs bags but is much much more affordable and I'll be able to add a touch of bird-love to many outfits....

Shoegazer finds: Bags bags bags

Look at these bags by Judith Leiber... I don't know what I make of them yet. They kind of remind me of those polystyrene cats you get given when you're little by a crazy relative at Christmas, and would subsequently have to spend several hours/days/lifetimes sticking sequin after sequin to the rapidly crumbling polystyrene cat with pins... you know the ones? Hmm.
Prices for the bags range from £3,000+ to £5,000+ See what you think...

Oh, sorry, my mistake - the last image is a 3D Sequin Art Cat.
