The Girl In The Check Scarf: marc by marc jacobs

It's extremely important to understand how to correctly say designer brand names (oh goodness, I'm so bad at this!). I found this list on dulcecandy.com, and I think it's pretty helpful. As a random side note, I am SUPERSUPERSUPER exited for London anad New York fashion week. If you don't know already, every London Fashion week show will be broad casted live online at Londonfashionweek.com, and Marc Jacobs will be doing the same thing on his website Feb. 15th at 8pm. YAY! So I'll need to pop some popcorn, grab my camera and a notebook and drool over Burberry Prorsom! Sounds like a fun week...
Enjoy...

I don't like having picture-less posts... Eli Saab spring 2010

So two summers ago I was helping out with a boy scout fundraiser (some of my guy friends are scouts and needed some more people to help out). They were selling things that people had dropped off. Things like old hats, jewelry, clothes, ect. So I looked around and found this really cute vintage-y charm bracelet. It was only 10 cents! Well, it's been sitting in my room and I have been using it for decoration( I don't think I have ever worn it out side the house...). So last night I picked it up and noticed that each charm said 'AVON' on the bottom. So I google'd 'avon charm bracelet' and found out that it's vintage 1970's, the stones are real, and sells for about $40. yowza! Never pass up a good yard sale...
