Shopped: Marc by Marc Jacobs tote and makeup bag

I mentioned in a previous post, the one about my new H&M items, that I had been considering getting this specific Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. Well, I decided to go for it, having bought matching items for it already and all. So this bag is now on it's way to me:

As is this matching makeup bag, I thought it would be convenient to have a makeup pouch to go with it, in case I ever want to carry some makeup with me to work or something:

Now let's just hope that the H&M items actually match this bag when it arrives too!

My latest H&M haul

Yesterday, I went shopping at H&M, for the first time in quite some time, which is a bit unusual for me, since I usually shop there very often. I mostly buy basics, in different, trendy colors, though, and this time was no exception.

Some of the stuff I got was:

A pair of neon yellow flats

(I love H&M flats, as you may already know)

As well as a tank top in the same shade, from H&Ms Concious Collection

I especially like the scalloped edges on this top, they make a huge difference:

Because I have been eyeing this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag for a while, and I thought both the shoes and the top would match it quite nicely if I end up getting it (which I think I will, now):

I also got a neon pink basic top (because I wanted something to match my new Paul's Boutique bag, that has a big neon pink detail at the front):

And a mint green basic top (because who doesn't love mint green these days?):

As well as a very cool kimono style blouse with lace details, in red:

(unfortunately it really doesn't photograph well at all, though!)

And a black and white striped tunic:

As well as a sleepwear set in pink and white:

H&M makes really good sleepwear, so I tend to buy at least one set each and every season. And I guess this season was no exception!

So all in all, it was a pretty productive shop stop, even though none of the pieces are really very spectacular. But you really do need basics in your wardrobe as well!

Buy of the day

I have been a huge fan of Marc Jacobs’ mouse flats for years, but I have never ran into the perfect pair, at the perfect time until now, so I never ended up getting a pair, even though I really wanted one.

So far, my favorite mouse flats are still the really cute grey ones with a pink little nose. But since those are not being sold anymore, I decided to get a black pair instead.

That’s why I ordered these black Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats on ShopBop today.

I literally wear flats daily, except when it rains (it never snows where I live), so investing in high quality flats that will last for a long time is really a good idea for me. And black flats go with basically everything, so I really think this was a both fun and practical buy, despite the small whimsical touches on the flats. But aren’t those exactly the reasons we all love Marc Jacobs so much?

Sick, but cheered up

I've been sick for the past few days. I think I have some weird infection or something, because I am incredibly tired and have a high fever. I am trying to cure this by watching the American Music Awards and checking out the news on Net-a-porter. That's when I spotted this Effie cotton blouse by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Isn't it adorable? Very Little House on The Prarie (which I used to LOVE as a child by the way!)

Love it!

Today I'm loving...

... this skirt, that was shown on New York fashion week for Spring 2011 by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

The fabric is just great, it looks luxurious and fun at the same time, and the length is just perfect and so 50's, too!

Today I'm loving...

... this amazing Marc by Marc Jacobs moleskine notebook, from Barneys!

I have been thinking of getting a moleskine notebook for a while now (it is such a classic, after all), so I'll have a stylish place to write down ideas when I am out and about. But I haven't found the perfect moleskine notebook yet (even though I almost settled for a hot pink one a while ago)... that is, until I saw this one, that is just adorable.

So now the only question is if I can order from Barneys if I don't live in the US? Gotta check that out a.s.a.p!

Today I'm loving...

... this Marc by Marc Jacobs Sequined merino wool cardigan from Net-a-porter.com.

It's a great and simple way to add some sparkle into your every day life.

(I actually have a completely sequined jacket that looks a bit similar, but a jacket is much more structured and... not as fun to wear as a cardigan... so I'd actually prefer this cardi, by a lot!)
