Coveted Marc Jacobs and Lanvin Giveaway at ideeli

marc jacobs Honey STARBURST II $115
(orig price $310.00)

marc jacobs Coral STUD FLAT $189
(orig price $595.00)

Because chibi and I have spent so much money lately, I have no choice but to stop spending...even though these marc jacobs sunglasses and flats are calling out to me... ... ...Well, at least I can blog and forget about them...hopefully...

Ahh...having sunglasses in the color "honey" would make me look so...sophisticated...and different! I can pretend to have Jackie O vibe with that color, don't you think? Maybe I'm thinking too much. And so the story goes, I've been looking for a pair of red shoes since December (or was it November)...and it's actually pretty hard to find a pair that is both simple and impactful. I thought these marc jacobs shoes were just that! They reminded me of what Dorothy had in Oz...That's memorable, isn't it?

Both these items are part of the marc jacobs sale at ideeli, which is by invitation only. Join by clicking here. By the way, ideeli is randomly giving away this Lanvin tote to a winner. You have till 6pm Pacific time to enter.

Jill Stuart Sunglasses – Ribbons and Crystal - Jewelry for your whole wardrobe

We’ve already posted twice about Jill Stuart’s cosmetic line. Specifically, we drooled over her oh-so-desirable blush and eye shadow compacts, which Jill Stuart termed as “make-up jewelry”. Now, we are proud to present our new Jill Stuart purchase during our two-weeks trip to Japan: Jill Stuart sunglasses!!

As you can see from our loving photos, my new sunglasses have a ribbon embedded into one of its sides and a crystal dotting the discreet ‘Jill’ embellishment at the top right corner of one of its lens. Other JS sunglasses that we saw had a crystal highlighting a ribbon embellishment instead. How cute, ladylike, and quaint!

I’m convinced that these sunglasses will look great on anybody. With only 1% of UV rays passing through, they are comparable to brands like Dior and D&G. The mischievous MOD features make the sunglasses stand out without using any of the metallic or posh details that many brands are going for right now. Who cares if it’s made in China? As with JS’s cosmetic jewelry line, these sunglasses define a sense of ornate simplicity that cannot be rivaled by over-the-top sheen. Jill Stuart stores can only be found in USA and Japan, so remember to look out for them!
