So, I came across something on the internet that I thought might really interest some of you. But first, let me explain how I stumbled upon this gem. I was looking for a classy bag to carry around my laptop in and in true MaryBeth fashion, I found the, "perfect", bag that was perfectly out of my price range. Enters, Michael Kors. Oh, Michael Kors, how I love thee and everything you make. If only I was a millionaire, I would live in MK. Which is funny because, maybe I'm wrong, but I find that a lot of his designs are sleek, clean and classic. Not that I am not sleek, clean or classic, but I tend to like a lot of funky things, too. Anyways, Apple is staffed with a bunch of geniuses (duh!) who thought it would be a good idea to collaborate with MK for some tech friendly, fashion friendly, totes (amongst a few other things). Here is what I'm lusting over:

Clearly, I cannot justify purchasing this bag (even though I want to!) when I could easily find another cute bag for a fraction of the cost to tote around my laptop. So, like any smart shopper, I headed to TJ Maxx. They ALWAYS have MK purses and I figured I could find something comparable. I did come across the Hamilton Bag by MK, but it was still $199 (originally $375 or something). Boo. Then I came across this:
This bag is so beautiful! I actually think, dare I say it, that I like this bag better than the, "Hamilton" MK bag that I saw at TJ Maxx. This is from Ivanka Trump's bag line and is originally $175. I got it for $79! I can't wait to use it! I have to admit, I was a little surprised when I read the tag and saw that it was by Ivanka Trump. I knew she had started a line but I kind of wrote it off as just another one of those things celebrities do. But I was wrong. It is fabulous, and TJ Maxx actually had it in a few different colors and finishes. I wanted them all!
So, now to the original point of this post. After all this purse searching and finding, I decided to research my new Ivanka Trump purchase online to see if I could have gotten it for even cheaper on the internet. That is when I stumbled upon this website. It is called The Real Real, and before I could access it I had to create a profile. No biggie though. Basically, this is a website dedicated to designer consignment!! Now, I will warn you, just because it is consignment doesn't mean you are going to get a Chanel bag for next to nothing. A lot of these items are still a pretty penny, but compared to the original value, a good deal. This brings me back to my point the other day when discussing Neiman Marcus at Target: what seems to be a deal to one, may not be to another. I am definitely going to frequent this website in case I do come across some amazeballs deal! And, it is fun just to look at too :)
I hope everyone has a fabulous NYE!!
See ya next year!
