{favorite things} Marc Jacobs Velvet Blazer with Polka Dots

If you are a long time follower you will have seen this Marc Jacobs blazer quite a few times [here, here, here and more]. It was one of the first, if not THE first, designer pieces I bought. It was 2006 and I spent a whopping $80 on it, not bad when it probably retailed for over $400.  I fell in love with it after I saw it on Emma Watson in 2005 and made it my mission to find it, I am still in search of this one from a photoshoot she did in Teen Vogue the same year which is also Marc Jacobs. (And one Rory Gilmore wore...I have a Marc Jacobs addiction)

I am still searching for the next size up on eBay because mine is a little small. There are a couple available right now, but unfortunately I need a size 8 because of my shoulders and because these run a bit small (I'm usually a 4 or 6 in jackets)...if you are interested: Size 4 $55 | Size 4 $72
