Advertising in Manhattan attracts a certain kind of personality.

The well-dressed kind.

(of course there are always exceptions)

.

And it would seem that the crème de la crème of fashionistas happened to land on 26th St.

.

So naturally,

I coveted.

I salivated.

I longed for a profession that would allow me to fully indulge the inner shopper.

.

(i.e. Kelly Rippa’s $500K clothing allowance)

.

It was perhaps the most beautiful polka-dot dress ever created.

.

I don’t know her name.

But on that 26th floor, I made a point to tell her how stunning the dress was

…on multiple occasions.

.

And thanks to Sydney's invitation to join

Alexis & Alexandra's elite online shopping experience

I own it.

On Gilt today.

For 62.5% less.

Behold the beauty of Marc Jacobs.
