Copy Cat: The Birkin

Ok, I'm back from holiday recess. After eating too much and foregoing my usual routines (i.e. blogging), I am officially back on the web in full force. Today's edition is a very special "copy cat". Ever heard of the Hermes Birkin bag? It's THE BAG of all bags- a holy thing of beauty sent from the heavens above. Or France. Both are similar in my book. Anyway, a Birkin bag costs upwards of $20,000. That's right. For just one. And, there's a waiting list. (And you thought the economy was in trouble, right?)

For 99% of the population that can't afford a Birkin, Marc Jacobs is giving trendsetters everywhere a light at the end of the tunnel this holiday season. A piece of his Marc by Marc Jacobs line, the 'Ozzie Square Lucy' Faux Leather Tote is a beautiful alternative for $398.00. What a stunner!! I saw it in person this past weekend and I'm in love. I'm betting that it's going to sell quickly so if you need this bag as much as I do, act now. After all, it is "Cyber Monday".
