New handbag love
Hi friends! We are still having an incredible time in Vegas
and I have a fun new purchase to share with ya….
a new handbag!!
As you guys know, I’ve been in the market for a new bag for quite a while but have been waiting to find my soul mate. While venturing around the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace this afternoon, it finally happened.
The winner was from a store called Scoop, which is AMAZING. They have so many awesome designers, jeans, dresses, I was in heaven and tried to focus on the handbags only 😉 It’s hard not to get distracted in places like that.
Here’s a pic of my new bag from online, since mine is fresh and wrapped in plastic – I want to keep it wrapped up until it survives the plane ride home tomorrow:
It was a little pricey, but I like to think of importante purchases in cost per wear. I’m going to wear that handbag pretty much every day for at least the next year. 😀 Also, it will match pretty much everything. Love <3
We’re off to hit up the gym, but I’ll be back in a couple of hours with a re-cap from last night’s dinner and show.
Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
xoxo
Gina

my Marc Jacobs bags have NEVER let me down. congrats on your purchase! 🙂
398.00 is a whole lot less pricey than that Tiffany bag you were eyeing! I love MbyMJ everything. Great choice!
so true, and i like it so much more!
purdy bag Gina! 😀
OMG.. I die. SO cute.
Oh my god it is GORGEOUS. I commend you for your good taste, girl!
<3 it!! 🙂
Lurvvvee <3 good things come to those who wait and that bag looks like perfection!
Mmm 🙂 That is a beautiful bag! I’m in the market for a new bag but I just can’t let myself buy one unless I am in love with it!
I don’t think it’s a lot of $$ for a good bag. Good quality items cost but they also last!
so true! i was expecting it to be more, so that was a good thing 🙂
You can never go wrong with MJ. My MJ Stella is 5+ years old and still looks brand new. I love the Hillier Hobo and the color you chose is gorgeous!
<3 the bag! I Just bought a new purse this past weekend too! I've been needing one sooo bad!
pretttttttty <3
Ahhh love it! The last time I was in Vegas (3+ years ago) I fell in love with a Kate Spade handbag at Caesar’s Palace. I lusted over it for two days but kept saying I couldn’t justify the price. Then, fate struck and my husband won $400 on a 25 cent video poker game…and went out and bought me the bag! I STILL use that bag all the time since it’s a pretty classic style though it’s finally starting to look worn. I definitely got my money’s worth out of it! 🙂
love the bag! Definitely something you’ll use a lot. I think of my big purchases in $/use/wear too. Helps justify it 🙂
Love your new bag Gina.. so smart to keep it wrapped for the plane ride!
I have that bag and I LOVE it. It’s been almost two years and it still looks like new. Great choice!
OH MY GOSH, that bag is divine!! I’m so jealous! Have a safe flight back home tomorrow 🙂
congrats girl!!!!!!!
you deserve it! and louis, gucci, chanel, hermes and whatever else your little heart desires! all in good time 🙂
I know you have WANTED a marc jabobs for ages and now…you have it. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!
pretty handbag :))
LOVE the new bag!! I’ve been wanting that one in hot pink forever. Can’t wait to see it in your outfit posts!
I love that bag – I’ve been eyeing that one and the Kitty Satchel.. can’t decide.
when I was young my dad taught me about value and price vs. use – I use that rationale All The Time. plus, quality lasts longer. that’s my backup rationale 😉
have a great time in Vegas!!
quality always wins 🙂
Gorgeous purse!! I’m guessing it’ll last you close to forever too 🙂 Love it!
Umm, so I just wanted to say that I’m a long-time reader, and as much as I love your exercise/food posts, I LOVE your fashion section! More, more, more!!! 🙂
yaaaaay! i’m so glad you like it 🙂
I’ve been carrying the same Marc handbag since high school and it really has stood the test of time!
Love, love, LOVE the new bag! Congrats on finding your soulmate. 🙂
OMG obsessed! Especially loving that color…the perfect shade of gray that will go with everything! Congrats on your new bag!!!
Lurveeeeeee the MJ bag!!! I have 2 and they are some of my faves!!!! Loving the bloggie updates and the fashion section is great!!! Love the color of the bag also!!! Have a great time in Vegas!!! 🙂
Sooooo cute! My everyday bag is a grey Rebecca Minkoff, and grey is awesome for daily use! Goes with everything and works in every season.
You will love!!! I have the same one the large version!!! Best bag ever and it totally goes with everything 🙂
Holy crap that’s GORGEOUS. I used to have a MBMJ wallet but it got stolen. :'( Mayjah sad face.
Love the purse!! Great choice. I live it even more than the other ones you has shown that you liked. New purses are so fun!
Good choice! 😀 I’ve been eyeing that bag (or one like it) for the past 4 years! Maybe one of these days I’ll finally take the plunge and get it.
My mother and sister both have that Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and love them! I’m currently in lust over them and waiting to save up some money and purchase my own. You’re sure to love it like they do!
scoop is my all time FAVORITE store first time ever went there started freshman year of high school lurve it have one on long island..but the one on the upper west side is amazing its literally 4 stores in one!!! and I used to have to go into the city every week for a doctor so my mom always took me there once in a while and love mjbymj<3 <3
EEEEK! Love it! Fantastic choice.
Ohh congrats on your new purchase! A friend of mine has that bag in brown and I am always drooling over it! But I love the smoky gray color you got- such a good investment and it will go with so much!
Love it!!! You go girl! Wear your bag with pride! 😉
Omg love your Hillier Hobo! We’re bag twins! I’ve been carrying that bag for years and it still looks great, I LOVE it! Its such a good investment!
Isn’t that the bag that Anne Hathaway gives to that RENT girl in The devil wears prada?! Sorry, I’m obsessed with that movie… (and with obsessed I mean, I’ve seen it about 50 times, whoops)
Love the new purse Gina – it’s gorgeous! Is that the color ‘Smoke’?
yep!
LOVE the new bag! Did you get the huge size ($498) or the regular size ($398)? I have a couple MJ bags and they’re the best!! Congrats!!
the regular size, which is totally big enough to fit my giant camera and all my stuff 🙂
oh man, I recognized those shoes immediately! I have the same pair, one of my favs! Big bummer they broke! but thumbs up to new ones! 🙂
That bag is so pretty!
