Shopbop.com & Marc Jacob Bags: Come and get them!
Hello All,
In my household you will tend to hear me say my hubby’s now a bunch ok many, many times throughout the course of a day. Jon do you have a second?, Jon can you help me hang this?, Jon where are you! You know the typical life of a husband that is married to a decorator. Poor guy.
His name though is not the only man’s name that is said in my home. I have a bit of a problem and it is all caused by a guy named Marc!
Marc Jacobs can do no wrong in my eyes. His handbags and wallets are my downfall. I love them and on almost every wish list I have ever given people for a birthday or Christmas there is a Marc Jacobs item in the mix.
Now today I’m able to share the wealth and help you add a little Marc to your life with a $100 Shopbop.com instant gift card to one fashionable commenter who makes sure she is a follower of the blog and then tells us which of the Marc Jacob bags from Shopbop.com is her favorite, and why.
The most creative response wins – how will you make your comment stand out from the crowd as much as Marc Jacob bags do?
Here is a brief little history on Marc Jacobs for those of you that are not in the know:
Marc Jacobs, the designer, has electrified the fashion world since the 1980s. He has received numerous distinctions in the fashion world; in fact,in 1987, Jacobs was awarded “The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent,” which made him the youngest designer to ever receive this distinction. Today, Marc Jacobs serves as the Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton and is the owner and designer of the Marc Jacobs Collection and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Collection.
His diverse, fashion-forward vision currently ranges from fragrances to menswear, from shoes to, of course, handbags. Marc Jacobs bags are unusual works of art, both stylish and functional, ranging from tiny clutches to totes, including his signature quilting design.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Um. OMG. I die for the Turnlock Aidan Bag. The dark green would be a great pop for any look!
I like the classic Q Jessica Bag…it would be great for the winter!

What a fabulous giveaway! I am crazy for the Nylon Q Lil Riz Hobo in Newsprint. (What a cute name for a color!) I can see it working with so much! And the lining it KILLER.
I hope I win!!

My favorite Marc Jacobs bag is the Twisted Q Riz Bag. It's a classic bag with a "twist", which adds great detail. The black and espresso colors would go with any outfit while the brick would make a bright addition to set you apart from the rest.
You had me at Petal to the Metal ! Love those bags. Pick me pick me !
And your link takes you off your page – you may wish to have the Marc Jacobs link open in a new window. Don't want to lose anyone to Marc Jacobs… he's distracting to us all !
Again I beg, pick me pick me !
Here is my blog post and I also tweeted it as well 🙂
http://scientifichousewife.blogspot.com/2009/11/hhfitd-shopbop-giveaway.html
Where to start- first I must say I have loved Marc Jacobs style for a long while! His bags are my favourite! I especially love the Marc by Marc Jacobs Hobo Bag for its simplistic style and roominess- for all those needs in a busy day- day planner, (my daughters phone and lip gloss,) makeup bag, my cell,etc. all my "stuff" that doesn't fit in other shoulder bags!
Second- I love following your blog- it's interesting and fun! Love your designer tips too!
have a great day!

I have been stalking the Q Aiden satchel since the moment I saw it in Harper's Bazaar. Every couple of weeks, I look it up online just to check in on her.
What a great giveaway!
There’s not a Marc Jacobs I don’t adore
But the Totally Turnlock Aidan Bag I can not ignore
From it’s nice roomy shape
To the way on my arm it will drape
With this bag, my ensembles won’t be a bore
I am a happy, happy follower! I would like the Croc of Q Lil Aidan handbag- in the bright blue. I think you should pick me because my family is on the Dave Ramsey Plan and said plan totally goes against my core beliefs as a shopper. While this bag would not hold credit cards, it will hold many lovely items such as Purell and little treats for my little one. Oh please pick me!
Michelle
How exciting! I'm in love with the Classic Q Hillier Hobo in Grape Juice — I just adore purple bags!
ohmygosh this has got to be the best blog giveaway ever! My fav is the Classic Q Huge Hiller HoBo… I need something this large to lug around all the random stuff I carry with me on daily basis!
Firstly, I love anything Marc. Secondly, I LOVE Shopbop!!! Two of my favorites in one place! My favorite Marc bag is the Classic Q because it's so versatile…you can wear it over the shoulder or across the body depending on the look you're going for!
This is easy! The Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo in black is perfect! Great size, great shape, classic color. I love it!
I just tweeted about this, which will also put it on my Facebook page. 🙂

With its smooth shape, luxe lining and charming little padlock, the Bombay Mevie will make me feel hot on even the coldest winter days.
I would have to go with a classic shape and color, the Totally Turnlock Core Faridah Handbag. Gorgeous and roomy enough for me to throw in some of my kids stuff too! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Croc of Q Linda Clutch in Smoke.
Hand it over and no one gets hurt.
Seriously, please hand it over, I NEED!
I like the one on SALE…the classic Q Huge Hillier Bag in WINE.
Fantastic Strap Length on the oversize bag. Would LOVE it.
Marc Jacobs is fabulous…I'm wearing a pair of turq suede ballet flats today from six years ago. Still love them.
Great blog, Thanks.
How can I choose just one? I'd like to have one of each. I would love them all so much, it's too hard to choose. If I had the option I would wear one on each arm and figure out a way to wear one on each leg, maybe sling one around my neck. … Well maybe thats going a little overboard … but you get the idea, they are all beautiful bags 🙂
My Favorite is the Twisted Q Groovee Bag … because its Groovee! But I can't decide if I like the black or metallic gold better! HOPE I WIN!
I've just come across your blog and am wondering, WHY didn't I find it sooner?!
Marc Jacobs is.my.absolute.fave. I work in radio and we have this thing called Purse Party every year…it's so hard not to "borrow" the fabulous Marc Jacobs bags for awhile!
I have 5 or so favorites, but I think I would go for the Bombay Large Satchel. It'll go with everything 🙂
ummm … Classic Q Aidan Bag! It is meant to be! I can see it slung across my arm as I am the cool, casual, confident self that I am in my dreams! Perhaps they can become a reality! Plus I think that Bag will make any of my jeans skinny jeans! It is the magic of Marc!!!
I'm crazy about Marc by Marc…love them all, but if I had a gun to my hear, I would choose the Twisted Q Riz Bag….
I just tweeted this! @thebeautyfile
I love anything Marc and any of his bags will do since I'm willing to donate blood for anything Marc Jacobs and that says a lot.
Sorry I've been m.i.a for the last couple of weeks. Guess what? I just got engaged.
Just became a follower and found you from thebeautyfile's tweet!
Marc Jacobs is my fashion husband and I am in love with the Petal to the Metal Evie Bag!!
Will Tweet also about this now!

AH! MARC! i've been pining from a far! it would have to be the Classic Q Hillier Hobo in Grape Juice or Twisted Q Lil Riz Bag in Brown. i can't choose!
i'm a student who doesn't really see MARC entering my life anytime soon. it's difficult to be a student financially as we all now, but also at times fashionably. i've been trying to save up for an investment piece but when i get close something unexpected comes up. his bags are gorgeous definitely something i plan on purchasing sometime in my life. the classic looks and timelessness of his bags would be an asset to my dwindling student wardrobe and give me that extra umph in my style! i would be the talk of the university. oh yeah baby.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed!

A girl with curly brown hair in a red peacoat sprints down the street. A black knee length dress whisks against her legs as she rushes towards the stop light only to wait for it to change. She taps her silver high-heeled shoes impatiently as she wills the stop hand to change to a little walking man. A bus begins to pull away from the terminal, and the girl takes her chances and dashes across the busy street. Her toe just hits the sidewalk, and the bus speeds away.
She smiles to herself, in spite of her bad luck, and sits on bench in front of the stop. Her Marc Jacobs Doodle Print Tote rests neatly on her lap. She takes a small black book from the bag, and the quirky, confident girl and the quirky confident bag wait together; lost in themselves and the moment.
petal to the metal!!!!
love so much
I interviewed with Marc when he was at Perry Ellis, at the "Plaza" – at The Oak Bar. I did not get the job, but I still remember what I wore to that interview many years ago. He told me he loved my drawings!
I always thought, he is going to be famous, there was something about his smile and "his eye." He has a flair for everything!

C-
oops, sorry, I would love the Classic Q in any color, but that purple is wonderful!

oooo, how awesome! this is the best give away! I like the Q Lil Riz Hobo in Newsprint!
Classic Q Hillier Hobo! Thanks so much for such a fun giveaway! – Allie
I LOVE MJ! His bags are super durable,too! Any of the turnlocks have been my faves this year! I'm really craving a green (malachite) or a lapis blue for some punch!
Awesome giveaway!!! The Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo in black for me, please!
Oh Marc Jacobs! I used to work across from a Marc Jacobs store…let me tell you DANGEROUS. I was in there a lot. Just dreaming of owning all the gorgeous items. So I'm going to have to agree with what the Editor's picked, the Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel bag is HOT. Love it. The shape is perfect, the leather looks incredibly soft and the color isn't too bright so you could wear it with just about anything!
I like the Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel the best. I looked at all of them, without glancing at the prices, and of course my eyes focused on the MOST EXPENSIVE bag on the page. I'm doomed! It's beyond my control, but I really do like that one the very best 🙁
What: I absolutely MUST HAVE the Classic Q Huge Hiller Hobo and in black of course!
And Oh the why: I am a SAHM with a 7yr old & 2 month old and my husband is a 3rd year medical student. You can't purchase a super spectacular bag like this on student loans! And this bag is the perfect size to keep all of my things + baby's things in- that way I can stop carrying my wallet and lipstick in a diaper bag! Can you see the need!?
P.S. I love your blog! Mine is private but I will send you an invite via email, because I have blogged about the "bag begging". Great givaway!
Love love love it! Already a follower 🙂 My fave bag would totally be the Purple Nylon Q Lil Riz Hobo! That nylon material instantly made me think of a Christmas Story when the little boy is all decked out in snow pants & his winter coat and can't walk! What a FAB winter bag!!
Camila – what a great giveaway! I love Marc Jacobs almost as much as you do, and especially love the "Pretty Nylon Small Cosmetic Bag" in Clementine. What a great pop of color and a great place to keep your make-up safely stored away! Thanks for the history on Marc Jacobs as well – so informative!
I am definitely a follower already I LOVE your room designs.
My absolute favorite bag is:
Totally Turnlock Baby Aidan Bag
In Ink BLUE!! Wow that bag would make sweats and chucks look like couture! It would go with ANYTHING! It would go with a teenager, a new mother, an older mother an anyone and especially a me!
The shape is so beautiful and the color reminds me of the sea. If I owned that bag I would never have to go on vacation, I would just look at my bag and it would take me to the ocean!
As you can see I am in love with the bag and I hope I win!

I like the clutch the best. Pick me!!!! Love your blog, hope you feel better soon!

(love note from my shoulder)
Dear Twisted Q Baby Aidan Bag,
I know I love you and I think you will grow to love me too. The growth will happen gradually as I fill you with my most prized possessions. Our relationship will be of mutual support. I will carry you during your rough times and you will make me feel beautiful when I am feeling down, simply with your stunning presence. What more could you want from a relationship? Trust you say. Trust that you will remain on my shoulder for years to come.
Not only do I love your outside appearance of beautiful black leather but I also love what’s inside as well, your beautiful red lining. Red the color of love. Oh how I love thee, how may I count the ways?
Love Gina’s Shoulder

I could definitly use the Totally Turnlock Faridah Bag for my first "real job" interview I have coming up soon! I would totally be able to rock it with this bag! Great giveaway!
I also tweeted about the giveaway!
my twitter account is "chiccoles"
i love the camel colored bag with the zipper on the top side. love your blog and follow you on google reader!
I love the Miss Mark Tote!!! Perfect for toting all my work stuff around.
I found a fabulous deep purple colored Marc Jacobs Collection bag at a couture second-hand store in London. It has really buttery, supple leather and suede interior with gold hardware. Ohhhh it's to die!! I love Marc so much; I have to say he's my fave for accessories (and I also love supporting my fellow Americans in their design efforts)! I also have the nylon Marc by Marc pouch/clutch, which is so versatile and really the perfect size…And I wear Marc Jacobs Daisy (the black bottle, smells like sandalwood as opposed to the strawberry notes in the other Daisy). I could go on and on!!!
great site, cant wait to check back to see more
come check out the first ever fashion blog from a guys POV, let He know what you think

I love the Pretty Nylon Tate Tote!! Fingers crossed
Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo is my absolute fave! How cute am I in the carpool line with my ultra chic marc jacobs and my old navy sweats? This bag can make any outfit look good!
I think I would go with the Standard Supply Classic Tote because it is made from canvas so it's better for the environment and you could use it as a purse or as a chic way to carry groceries! (plus it's vegan!)
Great giveaway! I am now a follower 🙂
Here's my ode to the Totally Turnlock Percy ink blu bag (http://www.shopbop.com/totally-turnlock-percy-bag-marc/vp/v=1/845524441852696.htm?folderID=2534374302024262&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize-viewall)
Totally turnlock if you were mine,
I'd wear you every day,
In rain or shine.
You'd be taken care of w/ leather cleaner too,
So that your color remains a lovely blue!
And I just tweeted- http://www.twitter.com/laviejaime
Honestly is there anything better then Welcher's Grape Juice. Sometimes you just crave that classic taste. It always brings me back to when we would drink it and pretend it was wine! Well as an adult I can confidently say the Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel in Grape Juice is equally delicious (if not more so). Boy, I can totally see myself strutting down the street in that stunning bag and no longer will I crave that old Grape Juice taste.

Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel in the grape color is my fave. I’d style it for daytime wear-to-work with Frye’s Matilda button tall boots, and a black dress like Milly’s column cashmere dress.
Then I would go out and save some kittens from an abandoned building, I'd pile them all in the Satchel and bring them home. If fashion isn't FUN, then why bother?

Its my birthday on the 11th, I will be spending the day shopping for a new bag with the BF since thats actually #1 on my list. You would make my 28th year in life, as well as the BF's if he could get out of shopping with me, if I won the gift card so I could get my new bag. Not to mention we would be best friends for life 🙂
I like the Classic Q Baby Groovee Satchel in grape juice- it's a great color and a stylish handbag!
I love Marc Jacobs! I wish he could be my personal stylist! My fav bag is the Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo! I need a big bag and that one is so stylish!
I like the standard supply tote. Cute bag! I found your blog through "Better After" and I'm glad I did. Tons of inspiration and I'm signing up to follow.
yeeeees!!! a new bag please!!! or those slippers.
Hi! I thought i remembered entering this but when i scrolled through i couldn't find myself. so, if this is my 2nd entry i'm sorry, it was unintentional….i'm really liking the paisley owl shopper. i still have young kids and tend to be practical in my choice of handbags. plus, it's super cute!
I love the twisted Q groovee bag. The bag and I have lots in common- we're both round, have awesome curves and hip. Though the bag is definitely more hip than me. 😉
I LOVE the nylon Tate Tote in that lovely Clementine orange. And since I'm a Mom of a toddler this would be perfect for toting around all the mommy and baby needs. Plus, tomorrow (11th) is my Birthday!
LOVE your blog and have followed you for awhile – I'm such a fan that I gave you an "award" on my blog a couple of weeks ago (but since we were in the process of moving, I forgot to let you know – it's been that kind of year).
http://spryonthewall.blogspot.com/2009/10/honest-scrap.html
Keep up the GREAT work!
I LOVE the Twisted Q Riz Bag…. soooo cute and I have a great pair of shoes it would go perfectly with 🙂
Totally Turnlock Core Faridah Handbag is my pick. It is sexy in multifaceted ways all while looking like its not tyring too hard. It has a dominatrix's attitude with pebbled black leather and dark persona. It is Virginal with its brass feet at the bottom – keep it clean boys. It is like a Sexy Librarian with its practical turn lock patch pockets – slip your sell phone right in. Like a sexy Librarian It presents restraint and propriety outside but if you catch a peek inside you will see its wild side- adventurous printed lining. Any minute it might pull down its hair, take off its glasses,… well now I'm getting carried away.
OMG this giveaway is NUTS!!! i'm loving the flights of fancy shopper bag, with the trees and owls…its totally appealing to my inner-hippie-child 🙂
[fingers crossed!!!]
Oooooh, I'm in love with Croc of Q Lil Aidan Handbag. A-maaazzz-ing shape!

Oh God, which one do I love the most? Because they're all pretty damn fabulous! I think the Classic Q Hillier Hobo in Grape Juice. Purple is a bit of flare, a rich color that is reminiscent of stomping grapes, of coloring when little. It's dramatic, like a smoky eye. And yet it can blend it unlike a red that screams "look at me!" It fabulous without trying.
Classic Q Drawstingy Satchel in Black would be the greatest Christmas gift :0
Absolutely the classic Q Natasha Messenger. Its totally my style. I'm definitely on the hunt for a bag like this right now!
megrmeyer@gmail.com
Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel. I think. Argh – the decision is too hard!
Ok, the owl shopper is calling my name. Super cute!
The Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel– although I could never spend that kind of money on a purse (that's probably the wrong thing to say on a fashionista's blog)!
AMAZING giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity. My favorite Marc Jacobs bag is the Twisted Q Riz Bag. It's the perfect size to tote around, with the best shape – it almost looks like it's smiling at me.
Crossing my fingers and toes!
Classic Q – I love the over the body straps for travelling.
my favorite is the Q Riz bag in that red-ish purple color. SO pretty!
I am a follower & I'd LOVE to win!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Jen
Love the Twisted Q Lil Riz Bag almost as much as I love your blog. I'm constantly checking my google reader for new posts 😉
I recently painted an interior door peacock blue. It turned the room into an elementary school. So with the door safely back to cream, I’m choosing to be more daring with accessories instead. Which is why my favorite is the Totally Turnlock Baby Aidan Bag in ink blue. (Note: I’m from Boston; our version of daring is anything that’s not black or gray).
Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel in Grape, since purple is my favorite color. I'd use it to add pop to my boring black and gray work outfits or on the weekends with pretty much anything!
I love shop bop! The business card holder is so fun and professional!
A Bag-Lust Haiku:
Shop Bop browse and drool…
Oooh! Deep plum Bombay Mevie!
I can has handbag?
My fav is the Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo !! Amazing!
I love the classic Q – it is the perfect size for me! I LOVE it!
To clarify, I love the Classic Q Hillier Hobo..sorry!
Marc Jacobs styles are always amazing, but I am so loving the "Grape Juice" colour. I prefer the Drawstringy Satchel for personal use, because I tend to lose things if the top is wide open. Shopbop.com seems like a great store.
Thanks for the great giveaway! I am a follower and my favorite MJ bag is the crimson Twisted Q Riz bag. Gorgeous!
I have been lusting after the Classic Q Huge Hiller Hobo because it is my two perfect bags in one — swing it over your shoulder or across your bod, and you are set to go! The proportions are elegant, the style is classy and classic, and the interior could handle all my necessities!
Thanks for the opporutnity to be one step closer to adding this to my wardrobe 🙂 I would tweet you up if I tweeted or had my own blog! But I do read your blog religiously in my Google Reader feed
i'd get this one, Totally Turnlock Baby Aidan Bag. and finally retire my 13 year old sak purse. yes, 13. hey, it's done me well. i've tried to switch but always go back to it cause it's perfect… perfect depth, perfect pockets, perfect color, perfect hang length. i'd love to see if marc's bag could stand up to the challenge of lasting 13 years! (ok, fine, plus i need to get a little stylish.)
Totally Turnlock Baby Aidan wants to be my new best friend. Soooo pretty!
I love them all, but if I got this, I'd definitely use it on Bombay Mevie!
Why should I get it? Because I live in Hong Kong, the land of fakes, and I've successfully resisted giving in for over a year and a half! It would be so easy to pop down to the local market, pick up a fake MJ, Prada, LV. I'd look fab and no one would know the difference – except for me. So hopefully honesty counts for something!
P.S. Of course I'm a follower!
Uhh helllooo Bombay Mevie. Oh and of course all things purple (I am royalty you know – well at least in my head.
Oooooooooooh! I love those bags! I want all of them, I like so much the colours! I really loved it! Do you know where I can buy it!?
