As of late, it really seems that I have been pretty obsessed with Kate Spade, so I decided that I would dedicate a post to this obsession while it lasts! First off, I just want to say that Kate Spade has been on my radar probably since I was in high school, but I honestly wasn’t too interested in any of their items until very recently. The first Kate Spade New York item I ever owned was actually the teal jewel bar necklace that my husband bought me for Christmas last year! I had been perusing Kate Spade’ website as I usually did and then suddenly I actually liked something… a lot! After that, it was mostly accessories like iPhone cases, some more cute jewelry and some small purse accessories. When I received the Beau Bag, it was my first Kate Spade New York Bag!
Now, I own my fair share of designer handbags, so when I say the Beau was my first Kate Spade bag, it was only because it was the first bag of theirs that I loved! I am not the kind of person that buys a bag to own one from a designer, and I only buy a designer bag if I LOVE IT! There is no room for like when you’re dropping a few hundred dollars on a bag, and I would hope all you smart ladies out there follow the same rules when your shopping, because as nice as it is to have nice things, you don’t want to go broke trying to accessorize and I find that when you wait for that one special bag, you love it so much more because you waited and didn’t settle… sort of like with Mr. Right!
So, if I own so few items from the designer, why do I love Kate Spade so much?
In all honesty, I think that the brand is absolutely lovely and represents a kind of sassy independent woman that I think myself to be! Although I only own some jewelry and accessories, when I use those items they never fail to make me smile from their quirky girliness! I especially love the Kate Spade iPhone cases for my iPhone 5 because of the lovely prints they use that are whimsical as well as practical! I don’t think you have to own every piece in a designers collection to truly appreciate their style, in fact, I think its much more special when you only own a few key pieces that you feel were designed just for you and your unique style, and that’s how I feel about my Kate Spade pieces!
I’ve been finding myself drawn to Kate Spade more and more lately, and I think it has to do with the same quirky/classy/girly aesthetic. I’m feeling much more comfortable with who I am, and I think KS really sums it up!
So obsessed someone needs to stop me from going in…Dresses, bags, and jewelry are so feminine and beautiful!!!
