NEED HELP! my birthday is on tues! $175 on what?!

[newaddiction]

My friend is giving me $175 to spend on whatever I want...
My choices can be the following:

1. Put her money towards something more expensive.

2. Get something from Tiffanys.

3. A designer accessory, im thinking something like: Marc Jacobs clutch (luxy leather) or Coach, or maybe a LV off ebay.

What would you do?
Sorry, I should probably add that im turning 17 on tuesday! Any help would be greatly appreciated!. You can add any ideas to the following!

I appreciate this ladies, and gents!

No ebay!

Please put links in here let us know what you had in mind.

 

[newaddiction]

oh im sorry!!. ok ok, uhmm. Well what I was thinking, is maybe a LV vernis cles (off eluxury), of course that would mean me adding a bit of my own $$ which I totally dont mind!. Or maybe a groom cles!.
Or this from tiffanys: Tiffany & Co. | Item | Return to Tiffany™ heart tag pendant. Sterling silver. | United States

Or maybe this Marc Jacobs clutch:
MARC by Marc Jacobs -  Logo Leather Clutch -  Neiman Marcus

do you have any other ideas?

First of all, happy early birthday! I hope your birthday is fabulous.

Second of all, if I were in your situation and faced with those options, I would probably hold onto the money and save it up for something else. I'm more of a "purse" person than a wallet/clutch (unless it's for special occassions at night), and even then, I prefer a small purse so I can fit in something more than just cash, so I would probably save it up and wait until I spot something absolutely gorgeous that I must have. But that is my own opinion! If you love love love those clutches/that pendant (which, by the way, is so simple and classy), then I totally say go for it!

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! Do what YOU want

I agree... stay away from ebay! If it's new it will probably be a fake, if it's used it will be worn/show wear.

How about this marc by marc pouch? eLUXURY - Marc by Marc Jacobs - Eyelet Wristlet

It's only 128, so you could use the rest to get yourself a Juicy starter bracelet or charm.

Oooh thats cute!! I quite like that. Thankyou so much for helping me!! Such lovely people in the PF. Thanks! Good suggestion.

I would go if you wanted from tiffanys and wanted the heart pendant, theres like this one with a regular chain for like 100 instead of the dog tag chain above. Otherwise I would save up for another bag or get the groom cles.

 

[Serendipity]

I agree with aarti. I would prefer the regular chain too. I like the clutch but don't think you would use it enough. If its a clutch you prefer save up!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day and please post pic's once you decide on your purchase.

 

[uhkiwi]

I would get something from Tiffany...you'll have it forever and always remember your friend when you wear it! and you can save the rest for something else

If you saved another $25, you could get this funky, chocolate brown, Marc By Marc Jacobs Pouch Pocket Wallet from Net-a-Porter (which would also make a great clutch):

Marc by Marc Jacobs Pouch pocket wallet - NET-A-PORTER.COM


Or, what about this gorgeous Felix Rey Leather Bow Clutch from Neiman Marcus, also for $200? Looks like good value for the quality, to me.

In black...

...or gold...

Also, if you fancy something a little different in terms of jewellery, you could afford some of the pieces of designer costume jewellery available. Try eluxury, NAP and Luisa Via Roma.
