Currently Coveting: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Marc by Marc Jacobs makes up a pretty gargantuan part of my wardrobe. I really enjoy the carefree, whimsical aesthetic of the diffusion line. The pieces are always great quality - I don't have anything from MbMJ that I've been disappointed with. I am tremendously in love with some of these new Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces!
 
  I am a self-proclaimed cardigan fanatic. This beautiful piece might just be nice enough for me to break my ban... If you adore it, too, you can buy it here.
 This polka dot silk blouse is perfection. It is light and breezy - perfect for spring. The polka dots add a touch of subtle, signature Marc whimsy. I see this tucked into a cute high waisted skirt, or even dressing up a simple pair of black skinnies. You can buy it here!
This blouse is incredibly interesting in that it is classic and timeless, but also very trendy. The angular collar is very current, but it is essentially a basic silk blouse. I would love to pair this with my Cara Couture necklace from this post. I can also see it under the Theory sweater from this post. You can purchase this blouse here.

There are so many things I love about this skirt. I adore the colors, the pleats, the pockets, and the whimsical little birds. You can buy it here.
 These black polka dot shorts would be a lovely addition to my spring wardrobe. I don't really have many shorts, and these are perfect. I can totally see them with my Prada Baroque sunglasses! If you like them, you can buy them here.
Moving on to accessories now...
I love the stripes on this cosmetic pouch. You can  buy it here. This polka dot case is adorable too!
 I've posted this MbMJ Amy watch before and while I do love it, I'm concerned about the metal coming off or getting scratched. I'm debating between this one and this leather strap one:
I like white watches, but I don't like ceramic watches and usually white watches are ceramic. I like that this one is leather and rose gold. I might get this one instead of the other one. You can buy it here.
This polka dot bangle would match the polka dot blouse or shorts wonderfully.

These are the perfect earrings for spring! Buy them here.

I want to start stacking bracelets more, and these bangles seem perfect for that. You can buy them here

These star bangles are incredibly fun and whimsical! Buy them here.  

As you can see, the pieces I've chosen all have a very similar color scheme. I simply love creams, navys, and reds (and pinks!). I also adore polka dots and stripes. I hope to be able to purchase the clothes in this post sometime in the near future, because I love them all! I also want to get one of the watches. Which one do you like better? :)

  2. What makes you think most white watches are ceramic? Ceramic is actually less common and much more expensive. You can get a white Michael Kors that is acrylic for half the price of their ceramic watches.

    1. Really? I just assumed all the plastic-y looking watches were ceramic. Thanks for the info though!

  3. i really like the rose gold watch better than the white strap watch. i just simply think its more classy.. but maybe its just me. i feel like you'll never be too old to wear rose gold watches but for the white strap.. i just feel that its something i would wear for about 5 years and then feel too old to wear it afterwards. although i agree that the rose gold watch would scratch up too easily... the white strap also have its own flaw. My friend have a white MJ watch and she wore it for 1 summer but the strap got so dirty that she never picked it up again. (she needs to change to new strap.. which isnt worth it if you need to change the strap every 1-3 years depending on how careful you are.

    P.s. sorry about this long comment. LOL. i'm been looking for watches too and i thought i would just give my own opinion. =x

    1. Don't be sorry for the long comment! I really appreciate that you guys all took the time out to give me your advice/suggestions! :D <333
      My mom actually said the same thing you did when I asked her - that the white strap would get dirty. :( I wish it came with a dark strap and a white face, but the only black leather strap watch I've seen from MbMJ has a black watch face, and I want there to be more contrast if I get a black strap. I prefer the rose gold in terms of how it looks but I don't want to spend so much if it's just going to be poor quality! :(

  4. Can I just say that I absolutely love your blog? I check daily for new posts. I love how you've organized it and enjoy seeing your buys and potential buys. Thanks for sharing with us. I also want to cast my vote for the rose gold watch. I completely agree with Honeybee's comment, plus I'm quite partial to rose gold in general. Well..this season anyway.

    Quick question, have you ever had any issue with Marc Jacobs' jewelry tarnishing?

    Thanks Yana!

    1. :') Aw, you just made my morning!!! Thank you so much Jackie! <333333
      I love rose gold as well! I think the regular gold watches from MbMJ and Michael Michael Kors look kind of cheap for some reason. :( I have read reviews and heard from people that watches from both the brands get easily scratched up which really deters me from getting one :(

      Unfortunately, I actually don't have any MbMJ jewelry or Marc Jacobs jewelry, but I assume the MbMJ stuff would be okay as long as you are relatively careful with it (like don't shower with it, things like that). I have some jewelry from Moschino's Cheap and Chic line, which I assume is similar quality-wise, and I have no issues with it tarnishing. I hope that helps somewhat! :)

  5. I prefer the leather strap watch more! I have a gold stainless steal Michael Kors watch that i've owned for a little under two years and the gold paint is already starting to wear off. It's not incredibly noticeable, but I can point it out. So if you're looking for durability, I would definitely go with the leather strap! My friend owns a MbMJ watch and she said the same thing happened to hers so i'm guessing it's the general quality of these types of watches.

    1. Thank you for the advice! I really don't want to splurge on a watch that's just going to deteriorate. :( I love the MbMJ Amy watch, so this sucks haha. Maybe I'll just get a top instead xD

  6. Hi,
    Did you ever purchase the MbMJ Amy Watch in Rose Gold? And if so, did you have any issues with tarnishing? I've read some reviews about that happening but the majority of reviews seem great otherwise.
