MARC JACOBS Spring 2011





   


              

               








                          
The Fabulous Mr. Jacobs has whipped up another cocktail of bold colors, off-the-shoulder blouses with puffy sleeves and flouncy skirts.  The highlight for me were the matching fabric orchids!!!! This collection is like a refreshing tropical breeze, reminding me of island vacations.
