sock monkeys

I made these for Christmas for two of my best friends. I think they liked them, and it's one more craft I can add to my repertoire! I want to make one for myself now.

Ever heard of Marc Jacobs? Of course you have. Shopbop has given me the privilege of giving away a $100 Shopbop.com instant gift card to one lucky commenter who tells me which of the Marc Jacobs bags from Shopbop.com is her favorite, and why.

[[History of Marc Jacobs Bags]]
Marc Jacobs has received numerous honors in the fashion world. In 1987, Jacobs was awarded "The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent," making him the youngest designer to ever receive this distinction. His diverse, fashion-forward vision currently ranges from menswear to, of course, bags. Marc Jacob bags are unusual works of art, both stylish and functional, ranging from tiny clutches to totes. Even the more traditional designs are stand outs as they're recognizably well-crafted and constructed from fine materials.



Just tell us which of the Marc Jacobs bags is your favorite, and what you would wear with it.
The most inspiring comment will win, so show off your style! How will you make your comment stand out from the crowd as much as Marc Jacobs bags do?
