Hello it has indeed been a while, but what better way to start out a return than to chronicle my current favorites from one of the best sales of the year? Possibly no other way :)
This weekend is the Kate Spade Friends and Family Sale. Now there is no secret I am obsessed with Kate Spade, and make a point to stop in just about every single Kate Spade store I pass by, but usually most of the stuff is out of my price range. Now even with this awesome sale, most of this stuff still is, but hey, I still love to look at it anyway :) Enjoy! {Code an info in the below graphic}
Below are my handbag faves!
Okay so let's talk about these bags.
First. Lemons. I love them. I want them all over my kitchen. Add a bow and make it a tote? I'm all about it.
Second. PINK WALLET. This pink is just PERFECT. Except for the fact that it's a snap shut versus a zip around (definitely a must for me). But I love the color so much I am almost tempted. Almost.
Third. The beau collection has stolen my heart (can you tell?), and I died when I saw this was in the collection too. Too cute!
Fourth. This. Bag. It looks like a penny loafer in bag form right? I just love the color (so classic), and i just love the different dimensions. Additionally, it comes with a shoulder strap which is definitely a must in my future bag purchases as well. I love the convertibility of bags with straps so they can go from an arm satchel to a shoulder satchel easily. It's just beyond perfection.
Fifth. I love pebbled leather. I just love it. Unfortunately, it's somewhat going out of style [I don't care]. This is one of the last bags in pebbled leather Kate Spade has (it comes in black and a black/white combo too), so I am quite tempted to snatch this up before it disappears and pebbled leather doesn't come back for a while (side note: WHAT is saffiano leather and why is it replacing my beloved pebbled leather? #unamused).
Sixth. Again with the yellow. I just love it. For a long time blue was my favorite color, but in the past few years, my tastes totally have shifted to yellow. I'm not sure I can justify a yellow bag, but it really is tempting. Plus it has the shoulder strap!
Seventh. How simple and ladylike is this bag? And the pastely blue is just so spring (and coincidentally plays quite nicely with a sharp yellow). I just love it!
Eighth. The beau bag collection begins. Okay, so holy cow they now have croc skin beau bags! I really didn't think I could love the beau bags any more, but I LOVE croc skin on bags so combining the two was just the best ever. Croc skin is so sassy but classy and is obviously a sturdy material. Of course, ethical and price tag considerations usually keep me from actually purchasing croc skin bags (this one in particular runs at about $700...mmm no thank you -- keep in mind this bag is not even real croc skin, it's embossed on; real croc bags would go for higher). But I still love this bag. So much.
Ninth. Tan and white beau bag. It's just so light and would probably compliment just about ANY outfit. I love how the bow is especially accented in this bag too.
Tenth. I learned today, actually, there are baby beau bags. This is one of them, thus I love it. Not only is it cheaper, but it's a more manageable size. I tried a beau bag on in one of my Kate Spade store trips, and it is surprisingly larger. For example see the bag on
Emily Jackson who's about 5'8". They look amazing but I really don't think I could fill it all up. This baby beau, however, might be just the right size... AND it has the shoulder strap ;) The baby beaus come in all black, the tan and white combo, and this great coral (or apparently "geranium" according to Kate Spade).
