So working for The Spoil has its advantages. One of them is the bi-annual Marc Jacobs employee sale we get to take part in. Since The Spoil and MJ are owned by the same luxury goods brand we get to dip into their sand box.
For a hardcore, almost not normal shopper like myself, this is fabU news.
News of the employee sale started to circulate a couple of weeks ago and naturally everyone here at work was in an uber tizzy. I mean...purses for 75% off?? Like The Donna always says, "It's such a shaaaame to leave them there!" Words to live by. (I mean guys come on. My mom shopped so much when we were kids that I knew the names of the malls before I could walk.)
So as I'm tooling around the veeeeeeeeeeeery slooooooooooooooooooooow site yesterday, sweating and shaking from excitement, I see the purse I want:
(Cue angel music "aaaaaaAAAAaaah..." )
The Blake in Kelly Green.
I mean..."Hello loverrrrr..."
It's gorgeous. But alas...my heart belongs to another lover: The Large Gucci Horsebit bag in magenta.
So I was thinking of waiting until the last day of the sale and if I don't have a lead on the Gucci bag then I'll purchase the Blake if the color I want is still in stock.
There must be a string of full moons because I've been showing an awful lot of self restraint these days.........Not at all part of my character and I'm not entirely sure why it's happening.
What's next? I turn into a morning person and start getting up at 6am?
Ok fine...I didn't show THAT much self restraint..I did get the zip clutch in Canary. It's just too ja'dorable to leave there!!! But that's it!
