Surprise!!

I love waking up and seeing that Kate Spade has another surprise sale.  The good news, great markdowns.  The bad news, most of this will be sold out before noon!!

I love a cute clutch, for some reason I tend to use a clutch Friday and Saturday nights in the summer.  Maybe it's the heat and I don't want a strap hanging off me, maybe it's because I tend to have extra large purses and they just seem too big and heavy for the summer, maybe there is no reason at all, maybe as the husband says I just need some excuse to buy another purse....

the absolute cutest clutch ever....

I never get tired of the shoppers and their clever sayings....

I always have some jewelry pieces on hand in case I need an emergency birthday gift for a friend, or an emergency accessory dilemma for myself...

finally, this top is just too darn cute!!

Happy Shopping

How cute is this skirt from Kate Spade?

Along comes this skirt from H & M...

with an extremely affordable $34.95 price tag.

I can't wait to wear this...

Neck Candy

This past weekend I was in Kansas City and the one place I had to visit was Halls.  I love Halls,  there is only 1 and it is in KC,  it is technically a department store but to me it has more of a boutique feel.  They carry some fabulous lines and would be my go to store if I was looking for something special (and lived in Kansas City) 

While browsing the jewelry department I kept eyeing some beautiful beaded necklaces.  I am really into the hand beaded look.  It is reminiscent of the navajo necklaces and shoes I wore almost daily as a child, just the sight of the necklaces made me smile and take a little trip down memory lane...

Unfortunately my 9 year old was shopping with me and had had enough.  All she wanted to do was get back to the hotel and swim.  My thought was fine, I can always look on line.  For being such a nice and beautiful shop, they have the WORST website.  You cannot search for anything and what you do eventually find on their website is a fraction of what they have in the store.  

I never found the exact necklace I saw at Halls, I did find some pretty amazing substitutes.  I love this Fiona Paxton Coco necklace, it looks so fabulous on Drew...

and my gal Kate makes a great one too!

Tennis Anyone?

If anyone is a tennis player like myself, then you will completely appreciate this new line from Kate Spade. Everything I love about tennis is now ready to wear on the streets.

the tennis belt...

the tennis key fob...how could she not do a "tennis bracelet"...

a tennis coin purse...a purse with the look of a tennis court...
and my pick, the tennis bag...
40-Love!
