Marc By Marc Jacobs Diamonté 'Marc' Brooch
(Reveal from 'Shopping Sunday Continues...')
A lot of guys do not like accessories or jewellery. However, I am a firm believer in adding small touches to enhance my outfit. And accessories or jewellery does the trick! They add a new dimension and sometimes glamour and sparkle to an otherwise plain ensemble. Be it something masculine, something flashy, something slightly feminine...I think if done right, anything looks great on you, regardless of gender.
Hence, after acquiring my Lanvin Grasshopper Head Jacket Pin from Club 21 mens last Saturday, I head down to Marc By Marc Jacobs for a second round of shopping (Which I got a bigger item on Sat's visit but I will reveal that on another post:-P). However, during this trip to Marc By Marc Jacobs store on Saturday, something else caught my eye. It 'inspires' me with ideas on how it could make my jackets look even more eye catching and interesting:-) Perfect for a grand event like attending a fashion show or a party. I knew I could not resist not owning it.
So here it is, I went back to buy this on the following day, Sunday....presenting the ultra 'bling' Marc By Marc Jacobs Diamonté 'Marc' Brooch in light gold! With a script-like font design, it feels like wearing Marc's handwritten signature:-) Very cool. Not really a logo and yet it says Marc Jacobs. Okay, I am a 'showoff' sometimes.
Ingenious little touches such as the drooping chain and metal gold ball (engraved with the brand logotype all around) that are attached to 'Marc' word makes this brooch even more gorgeous! I attached it on my new Zara jacket and the brooch just adds glamour when pinned onto the lapels! I am so in love with this now. Because the size of the brooch is not too big, it has just the right amount of visibility without making you look like some 'can-can' dancer.
And lastly, before I forget to mention, this is meant for the fairer gender:-P I feel a bit shy buying this at first and told the SA I wanted to give this as a present. Yeah, half of that is true, I did mean this to be a gift, but to myself:-) Dun we love to give presents to reward ourselves?:-P
(Next up soon...reveal from my Blackjack shopping bag (Blackjack is a multi-label store by Club 21 stocking cult labels like McQ, Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, Y3, Raf By Raf Simons etc.) and of course not forgetting the big Marc Jacobs bag!:-P)
