Kate Spade Lunch Totes

I recently saw these Kate Spade lunch totes in a Hallmark store, and I was definitely tempted to buy both of them!  These lunch totes are super cute, right down to the gold bow zipper pulls - they are also very functional and feel very thick and durable.  I love how tall these bags are, which is an issue I have with my smaller lunch bags, where taller containers don't fit completely and leaves the bag open on top.  If anyone is in the market for a new lunch (or just a cute bag, period) definitely check these out! 

 

 

The Candle Creative - Galentine's Day Gift Swap

This year I participated in the Galentine's Day swap hosted by The Candle Creative, which was a fun way to send gifts to someone to celebrate! I got matched up with Diana of Our City Lights, and I knew immediately that it would be really fun to shop for her.  Check out her Instagram feed and you can see our mutual love of cupcakes, Hello Kitty, Mindy Kaling, to just name a few things! 

I received Diana's package over the weekend, and as you can see she totally picked out things that I love haha!  Red Velvet, mugs, cupcakes, and Kate Spade :o)  I can't wait to use everything ASAP!  Thank you to The Candle Creative for hosting such a fun gift swap! 

Kate Spade "Eat Cake for Breakfast" Tumbler

I've always liked the items from the "Cake" line at Kate Spade for a while, but when I recently saw this insulated tumbler on sale I had to grab one!  

This tumbler is huge and will be great for weekend errands or drinking enough water at work during the week.  The cap screws on nice and tight, and it's a very sturdy travel tumbler.  Most importantly, it's a great conversation starter with anyone else that loves sweets, haha :o) 

Kate Spade - Rose Gold Accessories

I recently popped in to the new Bethesda Kate Spade store and I loved so many of the items they have out currently!  Kate Spade stores are always so colorful and fun to poke around in.  On this trip I noticed that they had a number of sparkly rose gold accessories, which are all super pretty in person! 

I loved this rose gold champagne necklace with the tiny little champagne glasses - too cute!

After spotting this rose gold card case and finding out it was a sale on sale item, I just had to get one! As you can see it's super sparkly, but what I love about it is that it is a coated glitter, so I don't have to worry about bits of glitter coming off, haha.  I can't wait to see what fun little items Kate Spade comes out with this season!

Starbucks - 40% Off Holiday Merchandise

I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find out that one of my local Starbucks stores was having a 40% off holiday merchandise sale until Christmas Eve - the perfect time for me to grab the items that I've been eyeing for a few weeks!

I love the Gold Dot tumbler - it reminds me of a Kate Spade or C. Wonder design, and it's very cute in person.  I heard some bad reviews about the ceramic lid (mainly that it doesn't stay on once the tumbler is filled), but since I plan on using this as a regular (non-traveling) mug, that shouldn't be an issue.  And of course I had to get the holiday cup ornaments - there were so many new ones this year!  I already had the rest (gold and the red holiday design) so these three will complete my collection haha.  I'm not sure that every store is offering 40% off, but be sure to check multiple locations if you're interested in any of the holiday items! 

Kate Spade Candles

I recently got these Kate Spade candles during the Nordstrom sale online, and I think they are super cute! It almost feels like a waste to burn the candles inside, but I think the porcelain containers will be just as fun to have out on display once the candle portion has been used up. They would also make a great gift for anyone that's a fan of Kate Spade, or likes collecting fun, decorative items for their home! 

Kate Spade iPad Case

When I found out that I would be getting an iPad for work, I immediately went online window shopping for a new iPad case - priorities, people! 

After looking around both online and in a few stores, I picked out this Chevron iPad folio from Kate Spade - it's super cute and I like that it's a case that also works as an iPad stand.  If anyone else is in the market for a new iPad case, this one is currently on sale!!  

Kate Spade Tote

I got this Kate Spade tote bag a while back during one of their online sales - it's always so hard to resist when they have a good sale!  This tote can fit my iPad and everything else I want to cram in, with 3 wide sections dividing up the bag, as well as pockets on both the front and back inside panels.  My favorite part though has to be the bow details on both sides of the tote bag.  I love this bag for work, travel, and for every day in between!

Kate Spade Outlet - iPhone Cases

Who wouldn't love to see a wall of colorful Kate Spade phone cases, right?  As soon as I saw these in the Kate Spade outlet store, I knew that I had to check them out.  Then, as soon as I saw the sign saying they were SIXTY PERCENT OFF, I knew I had to stop myself from buying ALL of them, haha.

In the end, I was able to control myself and picked up this one above.  The case itself feels very sturdy and durable (a thick, flexible rubber-ish material), but I also really like the little pops of color from the "phone" buttons.  If you also live near a Kate Spade outlet, I highly recommend checking it out if you're in need of a new iPhone case!

Kate Spade Postcard

I recently placed an online order from the Kate Spade website, and along with the cute pink wrapping paper, the package came with this card above.  I thought it was super cute and such a fun, Kate Spade-ish message.  

I have since purchased a frame for it and have it displayed in my living room.  It's always nice to have a fun little quote art in your apartment, don't you think?  

Kate Spade Gold Purse

I've been wanting a "not-black going out purse" for some time, and this Kate Spade purse fit the bill perfectly!  It's a fun metallic light gold, with a little chain detail on the handle, but big enough to carry my usual phone/card case/lip gloss/etc. arsenal, haha.

Also, I always love the little surprise pattern/color in Kate Spade bags- so cute!
