Long known for its sense-of-humor take on handbags, accessories and clothing, Kate Spade has been a personal favorite of ours for years. One of the best parts about the line is that there's always something new whether you're in stores or online. And ever since a store opened on Savannah's Broughton Street this past summer a large chunk of our paycheck has gone towards brightly colored purses with strategically placed bows, glittery shoes, idiom bracelets and girly skirts. It's a sure fire way to boost your mood the second you put them on. To help you figure out exactly what to spend your hard-earned cash on, we've compiled our favorites from the new arrivals. Enjoy!
Who can say no to tights? Especially ones with hearts or bows? Use these as transition pieces for when the weather finally starts to warm up.
If you're lucky enough to have a store nearby head on over and check out these gorgeous pieces in person and let us know what your personal favs are. If you aren't that lucky, head on over to Kate Spade's website and look around there! Happy shopping!
Handbags
Not just known for tongue-in-cheek bags (although we do love those!), Kate Spade does have dozens of styles of grown-up girly purses in dozens of shapes. Think professional without taking yourself too seriously. Black bags with a perfectly placed bow. Or a bright pink bag. We don't really like too serious around here.
 |
| Looking for a semi-serious boost to your bag wardrobe? Try the 2 Park Avenue Darling in bright pink ($328) or the Carroll Park Fabric Mini Penelope ($268). Keep your purse organized with internal compartments like the 2 Park Avenue Large Bella Pouch ($148) |
But then, we can also appreciate a sense of humor. Like we said...nothing too serious!
|
| We refuse to take ourselves too seriously and instead of just another black bag try something that makes you smile. Ooh La La Bellini Heart Clutch ($248), Never Ending Love Story Clutch ($328) and Sedgewick Place Tweed Fairlee ($428) |
Clothing
Spring pretty much screams the need for bright, bold colors in your wardrobe. Consider adding these pieces to lighten things up a bit!
 |
| We're drooling over this bright pink Roset dress that we're willing to bet Barbie herself would have endorsed ($448) and this not-so-serious Je Ne Sais Quoi t-shirt ($58) |
 |
| Keep warm on those cool Spring evenings with a stylish topper like this Dorothy Coat ($698) or dress up a simple tee with a hot pink Gene Skirt ($398) |
Who can say no to tights? Especially ones with hearts or bows? Use these as transition pieces for when the weather finally starts to warm up.
 |
| We can't resist a cute pair of tights. Besides, a mini-skirt with tights is basically the same as wearing pants, right? Heart Jacquard Tights ($30) and Happily Ever After Tights ($36) |
Jewelry
It's just not Kate Spade without new jewelry. The entire collection was inspired by travels to Paris and while that's a more subtle influence in the pretty mint watches, it was a more in-your-face inspiration in the charm and idiom bracelets. The "mrs" and "taken" bracelets? We figured there might still be a few guys out there trying to figure out what to get their lovely ladies for the big V-day coming up. You're welcome.
 |
| We're in love with these green watches...we swear we would never be late if we had these on our wrist. Gold Bracelet Gramercy with Bud Green Enamel Cutout ($225) and Bright Beryl Enamel Bezel Silicone Metro ($175) |
 |
| We'll take on of each please! Guys, hint hint for Valentine's Day! "Taken" Bracelet ($48), Charming Charm Bracelet ($98), On Your Mark, Get Jet Set, Go Idiom Bangle ($58), "Mrs" Bracelet ($48) |
Home Accessories
Maybe you're not a clothes girl (although we think that's unlikely if you're reading this blog) or maybe you already own everything we suggested or at least something like it (more like it). Regardless of your reasons, there's no rule that says you have to spruce up your house when the seasons change but we things it's a great rule to follow! Kate has you covered with a mini line of Daisy Place housewares. Everything from trays to vases - there's something to make everyone smile.
 |
| The Daisy Place Collection will bring your house into Spring along with the weather, your wardrobe and your mood. Daisy Place Vase ($75), Daisy Place Tray ($60), Daisy Place Odds and Ends Dish ($40) and Daisy Place Snail Mail Tray ($60) |
