About The Fashionable Housewife
Marc Jacobs is one of my ultimate faves. Everything is so very drool-worthy. I L-O-V-E the Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo in black. What do I love about this bag? I love that I can instantly dress up any look with this fabulous bag. If I have this bag slung over my shoulder, I can go to the grocery store in my sweats or the gym in my workout gear and still feel like I look chic. A Marc by Marc Jacobs bag can not a fail a girl. I’ll feel fabulous no matter what I wear, as long as I have this bag.
Possibilities are endless! I’d get the Totally Turnlock Faridah Bag and wear it with skinny jeans, knee high boots and a cowl neck cashmere sweater
I’ve been totally in love with the Marc By MarcJacobs Dr.Q Classic Groove Bag ever since it came out! It’s super stylish and versatile. I love how you can hand carry it or add the long strap and sling it over your shoulders. I’ve daydreamed about carrying that bag and rocking a black leather motorcycle jacket, pair of dark skinny jeans and some killer ankle boots. I would be out and about grabbing a cup of coffee and I’d run in my dream guy. He would compliment my bag, offer to pay for my coffee, and then ask me out to a date. Lol…. BEST DAY DREAM EVER!
I love so many of MJ’s bags!! But the Flights of Fancy Shopper has got to be one my most favorites! It will match pretty much anything and everything!! And it will look great on my when I have my tot in tow (and all her toddler things that go everywhere with us!!)! The colors and the animals (especially the bird,mouse and raccoon) will make me so very popular with my toddler and will be fodder for countless stories and antics to keep her entertained while I am trying to get my holiday shopping done!! I’ve never seen a bag like it before! Something with entertainment value for my toddler and also a bag for me! Amazing and inventive!!! The high quality leather, size and style will put me in heaven
Its perfect for the mom on the go!
I dont own but I would love to specialy when my husband and I get chance go out on the town when our kids are away doing something. I would like to have something nice since I have all boys and It would be nice to feel girly girl every once in awhile. Thank You for the chance to win.

The quality of the bags are awesome! My current fave is the Classic Q Natasha Messenger Bag. It’s so chic and stylish perfect for shopping trips!! I would wear it with my J Brand skinny jeans and Frye Boots.

So many bags, so little time! My favorite Marc Jacobs Bag would have to be the Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel in Grape Juice. From the versatility of using the handle or the strap, to the deep rich shade of purple, there is nothing that I don’t like about this bag. The sumptuous feel of the leather and the nipped in “waist” just makes me lust for this bag. This bag that would be seen on the arm of a celebrity, but not appreciated as much as it would be by me. This bag, that would hold all my treasures in undeniable style. This bag, that I would break a commandment to covet. If I go to hell for that so be it. It would be heaven on earth for me to own that bag
I really like the Marc by Marc Jacobs
Doodle Print Tote, it would work with my wardrobe for sure!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for a chance!
Oooooooh…the Flights of Fancy Shopper!! I have never seen anything like it. Even if you’re wearing your most colorless outfit, it breathes life into your entire persona. It would bring happiness to anyone passing your way and make any dreary day fade away. The animals, the color, the shape and especially it’s uniqueness…GORGEOUS!! Not to mention, my animal-loving teenager would swipe it at any given moment!
My favorite Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is the Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo in black. I would pair this bag with my dark grey leather leggings,my oversized gray sweater and my black suede over-the-knee-boots. Of course, my nails would be polished in metallic gray. I love oversized bags and black is timeless. This bag would look great with my entire wardrobe. Shopbop is my favorite online shopping website with all the latest trends and styles.
marc jacobs is inspirational! being one of the youngest well known designers and being able to do so much almost having every girl dying over his master piece of a handbag!!
I can dress up and down when I wear a marc by marc jacobs bag. i love how i can throw on a pair of jeans, a plain top, and boots grab my purse and still look classy! its every girls dream!
my personal favorite would be the marc by marc jacobs dr.q hillier hobo! its so versatile and doesn’t go over board with tacky logo/symbols which i love! simple and so chic! i encourage all ladies to snag their own marcbymarc!!
=-.

I love the Drawstringy Satchel – so perfect with anything!
When asked where I got it, Marc by Marc Jacobs I’d sing!
I can wear it with jeans & oversized tee to the mall.
Or out with the kids, carries diapers & even a doll!
Maybe with my evening gown of Twilight blue
Carrying just tissues and makeup hues.
Everywhere I’d go, whatever I’d wear
You, Marc Jacobs would always be there!
Wow, lots of beautiful purses/bags there. I have never paid over $75 for a purse, so I was in shock looking at these prices.
I like the Classic Q Hillier Hobo
My favorite of the bags is the Pretty Nylon Tate Tote in Parsnip Multi. Why? Because at 30% off its an affordable $138.60 (originally $198) and a $100 gift card would take a nice chunk off that price. And of course its not just the price thats appealing, its the whole bag in general. Just look at it… the print is colorful and fun and being made out of nylon (vs. leather like most of the other Marc handbags) its nice and lightweight. Right now I’m using one of the Marc Jacobs special items $10 tote bags for my school books, but the tate tote would be absolutely perfect for bringing along with me to school. That being said, I’d style this with anything! A nice floral boho style print dress to complement the print on the bag or a nice set of basics like a casual slouchy shirt with jeans shorts to make the color of the bag really pop. The print on the bag is so gorgeous and flattering to just about any outfit.. super in love with it!
I love Shopbop because they always carry such a great selection of handbags and on top of that always have the best sales! I’ve purchased from them more times than I can count and have always been 100% satisfied with their service and the products they sell. Although I have some Marc in my personal collection of clothing and accessories, I’ve yet to purchase a Marc item from Shopbop! Please let this one be the first
