What I Spent My Money On In Las Vegas Last Week

Kat1

You may've noticed that Gemma from Shoewawa and your Bag Lady editor, (moi), have been fairly quiet over the past week and a half - we've been off in sunny Las Vegas covering the CES event for Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest. In between all the frantic coverage of the latest gadgets we'll all be drooling over for the next 12 months, we managed to fit in a bit of shopping in America's fabulous department stores. Yep, Neiman Marcus, Macys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, we hit them all, and bought up a storm. I indulged in a bit of Marc by Marc Jacobs retail therapy, buying the nylon shopper on the left for $198 in Macy's (pick it up for only $178 at eLuxury), and the turnlock bowler on the right for $298 (Macy's don't list it on their website, the next cheapest I could find online was $398 from Nordstrom). Take a look under the jump for some more of my splurges...

Unfortunately that's all I could afford handbag-wise, but I did get a couple more bits and bobs, particularly in Forever 21, what a great shop! Still, I guess we have Topshop and Primark, so it's a good trade-off, no? The petite multistrand necklace on the left was only $4.80, and the red heart strand was $6.80. To top off my accessories spend, the Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses were a steal at only $90. I haven't managed to wear them in good ol' Blighty yet, but give the weather time!

    I've been looking for a bag that can be used for both casual and casual work days - large enough for a day or plane trip, ie. some papers, sweater, etc. I had bought the Marc by Marc Jacobs Teri tote which you featured but found the double handles too short to comfortably carry on teh shoulder, especially with a heavy coat on. I just found a Marc by Marc Jacobs beige leather hobo with the clasp pockets in probably the same line (looks like the bowler bag you got except it's a large hobo). Also looks similar to the denim hobo you talked about. I bought it at Nordstroms but have not been able to find it on any other websites. Was curious to if you've seen this bag and any thoughts on it. Thanks for any suggestions.

  • You're very right, Juji, and I'm almost tempted to go back in Spring to pick up another few bags for the new season!

    Lovely bags but you forgot to mention that the super exchange rate means everything was half price too! Isn't that almost worth booking another trip!

  • Loving your work, Kat! I *heart* the MJ bowler :)

  • Well, Fletch, we didn't have much time in Vegas to go drinking, as we were mostly working or shopping, but we did manage to go to the new Beatles bar, 'Revolution', at the Mirage, Social House at Treasure Island, the Baccarat bar at the Bellagio, and several places at the Circus Circus, where we were staying. It was a great time!
