Tape measures? Like “Project Runway”? Sure, you could pick up a $3 cheapo one at Home Depot, but if you’re serious about interior or fashion design, one of these chic tools would be a plumb addition to your business.
Marc Jacobs wants you to measure inseams glamorously with this crocodile-embossed red tape measure.
$89 at ShopBop. (above)
Hmm. This Swarovski and enamel-decorated toad tape measure is…inspired. I don’t know how many people it will inspire to shell out $400, though.
$395 from Jay Strongwater, Neiman Marcus.
These Rowallan tape measures are leather encased and adorable inside and out.
$77.50 at The Sassy Traveler.
So, Lovelies, would you ever pay up for a cute tape measure? What do you use them for?

I use tape measure to make my own clothes: Dresses, shorts, shirts, you name it. Not down to cash out my money on these tapes, I don’t have that much money to throw around. Better buy myself an expensive pair of heels to match my clothes

i wouldn’t. i rarely have a need for a tape measure. maybe if i was in fashion or something and it was special to me… idk

I like the plain ol’ regular cheap ones..

o.0 they might look ok, but I mean come on…did they run out of ideas or something?
guest
….what a waste of money. That swarovski one is ugly as sin too.

I like the frog one, but I would never waste my money on it (or any of the other ones) unless using them would make me lose/gain inches where I want.

If I had money like that I might get the first one. But seriously… I’d rather pay $3 for one.

I WANT THE FROGGY ONE.

i’d love the second one if it wasn’t a frog (they freak me out).
guest
these are for people who have more money than common sense….and there are way too many of those people running around anymore
