made in the spade.

Just last Tuesday, Deborah Lloyd, creative director of Kate Spade New York, held a fabulous press conference that presented their Spring 2012 collection, which featured prints by australian artist, Florence Broadhurst. Women's Wear Daily reported that Lloyd has acquired 12 of the motifs, three of which are featured in the spring lineup — a hexagon pattern and two black-and-white Japanese florals.

Spade totally aces it for next season-- classic pieces, A-line skirts, cleverly catchy phrases on shirts, pops of color, & everything being so simple yet so marvelously new & fresh & chic-- it's hard to not have an early case of spring fever just looking at the collection.

weekly want: the future looks brighter!

With the bombardment of midterms, papers, tests, and all around discombobulation with life, sometimes we forget to just 'hang in there.' Ironically enough, a fantastic necklace by kate spade new york, reminded me of this in the middle of an online window shopping retail therapy meltdown. This gilded 'hang in there binoculars necklace' is not only adorable and clever (who can resist a tiny set of binoculars around your neck?), but the message it sends is something we need to be reminded of a lot! And with this lovely necklace hanging close to your heart, how can you forget?
