dear Kate Spade

i love you.

here’s one of the reasons.

i had been eyeing a few things from Kate Spade NY for awhile now (see previous post with my hashtag). one of them was a need.

no, really. i needed a new planner/organizer.

the one i had from target (which, i love shopping there by the way) ends in december and i can’t find the refillable pages anywhere.

which is sad because i bought that planner last year to save money and just keep buying the refills. oh well. it led me to Kate Spade.

sunday night i ordered the planner and was so happy to get it on wednesday! talk about fast shipping for a free service! i was impressed.

anyways. i highly recommend buying one of the website or in stores because, well, it’s perfect.

the outside is hard and the pages are durable. there is a two pocket folder at the beginning to hold plenty of papers and misc items i always seem to try and shove in my planners.

bonus? before each month it has a fun saying. my favorite one is below and happens to be the one for my birthday month (july!)

i don’t think i have given my obsession with Kate Spade NY any justice yet around here.

that needs to change.

there is something about the style of the clothing, the feel of the leather bags and the sparkle from their jewelry that makes me so happy. where i live, we didn’t have an actual store. all of my purchases were made online, and my wishlist was growing with every visit to their site.

a few months ago, i visited Beechwood mall near Cleveland. to my surprise they had just opened a KSNY store IN the mall (i felt like a little girl on Christmas day) .

i checked the whole entire store out before i made my way to the counter to pay for my goodies.

carrying around that pink bag felt so good! i felt like my style was personified in that store. the colors. the polka dots and the beautiful rose gold jewelry.

sadly, i don’t have the funds to buy anything and everything i want from the story. but when i save up and am able to, it makes the item ten times better.

anyway. here is my wishlist:

Kate Spade heart of gold idiom bracelet
Kate Spade boys make passes t-shirt
Kate Spade coreen skirt
Kate Spade sailor’s knot hinge bangle

most of those items will stay on the wishlist. but they sure are fun to look at ;)

Make sure to check out their blog here for some awesome style information.
Also, there’s an awesome girl on instagram (laurensuero) who works at KSNY and posts photos of fun items she has found in the store! Great ideas!
