Hello Darlings,

Call it destiny or call it luck, but there are times when the shoe fits and there’s no escape from going home with it. I am not an impulsive shopper and always follow my heart when it comes to acquiring new items: I must really love something before I decide to buy it. There is one exception to this self-control rule: Marc Jacobs. With him, every rational thought is squeezed out of my head by cute tees with little Miss Marc on them, and the leather masterpieces most people call shoes and purses.

All reason goes out the window when I spot a new collection of Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes. Despite the fact that I walk into a shoe department and feel like hypnosis has been performed on me: “You are getting sleeeeeepy. Browse through the shoes, take out the Visa and swipe away.” But one way or another it never plays out quite that way, as I always torture myself over the prices of designer items. It’s almost as if you have to sell a limb in order to purchase something to wear on that limb! Therefore as a finance-conscious Marc Jacobs addict, it is hard to resist when you come across an item that makes your heart race. Then reality hits when you turn over the price tag and feel a heart attack coming on. No more heart skipping beats; it stops completely when your eyes lay upon those triple zeros. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone
