Deal or No Deal

What you are about to read may evoke a twinge of jealousy, but I could not keep this from you. The other day I purchased this Marc Jacobs Peet shoulder bag in grey.

Here's where the amazing part comes in. I paid $118 dollars for it! Down from the original price of $1,150. In full disclosure, the price reflects my Bloomingdale's employee discount, but it was 75% luck for being in the right place, at the right time.

If this doesn't go to show that you should never buy at full price, I don't know what will!

What's the best deal you've ever bought?

Take Me Back In Time

Last night's episode of Mad Men inspired me to peruse the fashion web for pieces that are 60's inspired yet still up-to-date for fall. Fashions that include structured blouses, billowing A-line skirts, and dresses that show curves and not too much skin just like Peggy, Betty, and Joan wear on the show.

These pieces pay homage to the style of Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Jackie O. Today they are seen on the likes of Zooey Deschanel, who always rocks preppy chic to the fullest. You can't avoid the influence of the era when you come upon the collections of Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, either.

If your interested, the show also has a blog Fashion File written by Faran Krentcil of fashionista.com.

I do want to know though...is there a TV show that inspires your style? Cause I definitely found mine!
