Always Kate

If there is one designer who always seems to capture my attention, it's Kate Spade. While I never tire of the classics, I am always drawn to the overt femininity and colorful hues that Kate Spade has to offer. It's simply not possible for me to walk into the store and not leave with a smile. Here are some of my current favorites.

1. iPad Cover

2. Seersucker Vionette

3. Shimmer Triple Chain Necklace

4. Date Night Ring

5. Melania Wedges

6. Double Bow Studs

7. Essex Small Scout

8. Grace Ave Champagne Flutes

Live Colorfully.

ace of spades

{one of my favorite kate spade ads}

my love affair with kate spade began when i saw my first pair of ks heels.

they were sleek, subtly sexy, vintage-inspired, and pink,

{everything my pre-teen self could ever want}

and i was completely hooked.

since then i have loved kate in everything from heels to china,

always finding something from her collection that i adore.

now, with her fall 2009 apparel debut, i am as in love with kate as ever.

vintage inspiration

vibrant colors

feminine silhouettes

mixing of patterns

colorful tights

bright lips

oh, kate. how i do love you.

Professional Dress Day No. 2

In keeping with the Wednesday  professional dress rule, yesterday I decided to pull out my white linen pants for one last hoorah before fall officially arrives.

grey wrap, Simply Vera for Kohl's; belt, vintage; pants, F21; shoes, Tarjay

I also want to mention these lovely gems that I found at Target not too long after my Kate Spade post. Call it what you will, but I call it fashion fate. These Spade-inspired peeps are perfect for transitioning between summer and fall, not to mention that they are quite comfortable! (I have noticed that yellow is my go-to color this fall.. more on that later.)

I know that there have been a lot of outfit posts lately, but it has come to be a daily ritual for me. Almost like a journal or diary if you will. I find it relaxing, but if it is too much for you lovely readers, please feel free to let me know.

Kate Spade, Oh How I Love You

Kate Spade has always been at the top of my list for designers whom I can always go to and find something that I love. She uses feminine silhouettes and vibrant colors to create fashions that are classic with a bit of a twist. I can always count on Kate to show me something that I love when it comes to work clothing. Kate Spade shoes and handbags can bring a pop of color and style to an outfit and still provide a very polished, professional look. Here are some of my recent favorites:

Pappilon

Pebbles

Scarlett

Melrose Noel Jayden

Raincoat Charlie

Beresford Opus

Classic Noel Trench
