I'm just going to put this out there before I even start my post, I LOVE NET-A-PORTER!!! Okay, now that that is out of the way on to the post! As I posted on Monday, I won a gift card from net-a-porter to their store for $100. I knew it wouldn't get me much but with my Christmas money I was able to get a couple of great items from Marc Jacobs without spending any of my "real money". They arrived yesterday and I must say: you really do get what you pay for. Net-a-Porter packages everything SO nicely, it comes in a nice black box with some ribbon and then when you open the box you have the items you ordered also nicely wrapped or in their boxes.
So, in conclusion, if I were rich and could spend hundreds of dollars on one item this would definitely be my go to shop. I am going to have to be very careful and control my urges to continually buy from here. But every once in a while when I want to get something nice, I'll definitely head straight to net-a-porter (or their sister site The Outnet which has off season stuff cheaper).
Here are some photos of the packaging and what I got! The purse is sooo cute, but I only have room my phone, some cash, chapstick and my credit cards, but I can deal with that since it's all I really need. I'm still not totally sure about the shoes...what do you all think? I think it is the point that is bothering me, how it's off center. But that's what Marc does, he adds quirkiness to clothes to make them more interesting. (click to see them larger)

I think those shoes are gorgeous and will add some great color and visual interest on your feet with outfits. Also, that purse looks VERY much like a Mulberry bag I was lusting over yesterday.

I love the bag! I'm not sure about the shoes... I actually like them a lot, but I'm not sure if they're so much your style?? Anyway, I'll be watching for your decision!
ReplyDeleteYes that's definitely what Marc does, and I have to admit I'd prefer a pair of Miu Miu shoes, but you were really lucky to win that card and to afford these ! I'm jealous :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Outnet and Net-a-porter were sisters, thanks for telling me :)

haha, decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeletehow cool that you won that card!!!! the bag is incredible!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the understated, classic elegance of the package! And I like the shoes, I can see how the off center tip would be vexing but it adds a really touch of uniqueness to the shoes and makes them noteworthy.

Thanx for you quick response! I guess I will have to try that... ;-D
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your new shoes, they´re really awesome!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Hun! ;-)
I love the color of your shoes and the purse is to die for :) Are the shoes comfy? The point seems like it might put some pressure on your big toe, but other than that they look cute.

I love both of your purchases - that purse especially! I like the quirkiness of the shoe, but if you're hesitant about it, then I'd return them and put the money toward something that you have no doubts about loving.
ReplyDeleteCute!!
