Kate Spade New York Darien Seasonal Small Flat Serena

I’ve made no secret of my love for Kate Spade. She’s ever so dreamy. Well, her designs are anyway. Yeah, she makes nice shoes and jewelry, and some of her clothes are classic and cute, too. But it’s her handbags that will always have my heart. All kinds of shapes, beautiful colors, some of which I may not otherwise consider. Like yellow. Yellow is one of those colors you really need to use sparingly, at least for accessories. A yellow sundress is nice, or a flouncy yellow blouse in the spring or summer. But yellow shoes and handbags have to be just the right shade or they’ll end up too bright, or even kind of dingy looking. This Kate Spade New York Darien Seasonal Small Flat Serena gets it right.

Kate Spade Pierpont Small Sophie Satchel

If you’ve been paying attention to fashion trends, you’ve no doubt seen that eggplant is big this fall. No, not the vegetable. Don’t start wearing eggplants and saying I told to you to do it. Leave the wearing of food to Lady Gaga, ok? I’m talking about the color. Actually, it’s a great color for fall every year. But, you know how fashion trends go, and this year it’s “the” color. You know Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers, and she hasn’t let me down. Just take a look at this Kate Spade Pierpont Small Sophie Satchel.

So it occurred to me that if I’m going to be spending time on a boat this summer (and hopefully, a lot of time), in addition to water-resistant sandals, I’ll need a good tote that can withstand water too. The last thing I need is to take one of my leather handbags on the boat [...]

You know what I was thinking? I was thinking it’d be great to have some handbags that would go with those spring dresses I talked about the other day. Especially the print ones. It’s not difficult to pick out a bag or pair of shoes to go with a busy print like the floral or [...]

You’re lucky I’m even blogging today. My fingers are tired from all the tweeting I did last night during the Oscars. As always, it was an interesting show with a lot of great moments, and some truly outrageous ones. I love that someone coming up on stage unexpectedly is now called “pulling a Kanye.” Way [...]

Continuing with pink and orange week on StyleCynics! I couldn’t be more thrilled that one of the hottest trends for spring this year is one of my favorite color combinations. I didn’t used to be a fan of orange. To me, that color was reserved for carrots, pumpkins and really bad fake bakes. Seriously, people. [...]

It’s been ages since I included anything from Kate Spade here. Ages! Almost an entire month! I try to stay away, but that little minx just pulls me right back in, whether it’s with a gorgeous blouse, a fantastic pair of pumps, or an awesome handbag. And before you get all huffy and think, what’s [...]

We’re on the down slide toward the end of August now, and it occurs to me that a lot of people are probably trying to get one more weekend trip in before summer ends. I also looked over my blog and saw that four out of the last five posts featured something black. I wasn’t [...]

So apparently, my love affair with orange isn’t over. I never really cared for it, and then suddenly, I was drawn to it, couldn’t get enough of it. And it was a beautiful thing. But then I didn’t see it for a while. It seemed to disappear off my radar. No call, no text, nothing. [...]

We’re getting very close to summer, and I think the ultimate summer party is a luau. You know you can’t go to a luau without wearing a grass skirt, right? Or at the very least, having a grass skirt on your handbag. That’s where the Kate Spade Hula Ida comes in. It’s all dressed up [...]

The closer it gets to summer, and the hotter it gets, the less stuff I want to wear or carry. Going to the beach is one thing. You need a tote for a towel, sunscreen, and a juicy beach book. But for just everyday walking around, the less baggage (pun fully intended), the better. That’s [...]

It first came out in 1999, and is now celebrating its tenth anniversary. There are actually seven individual designs within the Quinn line. My [...]

It seems that in this fall season, all the designers are harkening back to the days of their childhood. Case in point: the Kate Spade Riley Red Daisy Rain Boot. It reminds me strongly of rain boots that I had as a child; except, well, they were better. I had these awesome red and yellow [...]

Kate Spade Varenne Jocelyn Clutch

Ruby red never looked so luscious before I set eyes on this elegant patent leather Kate Spade Varenne Jocelyn clutch. It’s as tempting as the evil queen’s apple when she handed it to Snow White through the window. What lies beneath this bag seems almost sinister. Its panels of eel skin are stitched together and [...]
