Kate Spade Flash Sale: What Would You Choose?

Have you checked out the Kate Spade online only flash sale (thanks for the tip Preppy Princess)?   Ends tonight at 11:59 pm so get shopping!  I always miss these things now since I cleaned out my email inbox from advertisements!

Here's what I would choose, money no object!

Normally $78, on sale for $35 - these are just fun!

Normally $428, on sale for $179 - I have always looked for a fun pink bag for the summer.  I just love this style and have my eye on it for a while.  It's so cute and fun! 

Normally $145, on sale for $59 - Not sure I could pull off this style but I sure wish I could!

Normally $350, on sale for $179 - Swoon!  What a lovely way to spice up a very classy shoe without going too over the top!  Love them!

Normally $398, on sale for $159 - I love a good shirt dress and love this dressier play on the style.

Normally $198, on sale for $65 - I love this necklace, again, just plain fun and so many ways to style it.  

Normally $398, on sale for $199 - My favorite boot is the Calista from Tory Burch, but these are up there on my list as well.  However, I never wear boots so I will just admire from afar (though this past week in South Florida has been quite chilly, so I probably could have sported a pair!)

Happy Wednesday Y'all!  

Lusts: Summer, Mint & Pink

I am adoring mint and pink this summer.  Though I haven't jumped on the colored jean bandwagon yet, I did stop by the Lilly store Sunday and took a look-see at the Skinny Mini Worth jean and loved them.  I think I'll be jumping on that bandwagon sooner than later!  Here are some other mint and pink loves and my summer skincare and nail polish favorites.

{5. J. Crew sunglasses}  {6. Kate Spade Imani}  {7.  Chanel Mint Chevron}

{8. Bare Minerals: 7 Layer Cake}  (9. Sunscreen}  (10. Pur Minerals Under Control}
{11. Maybelline Age Rewind}  {12. Essie Pink-A-Boo} {13. Cetaphil Lotion}

Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Handbags and Totes

Oh dear, how I love handbags and totes.  What girl doesn't?  I actually have WAY more totes than I do handbags.  I generally stick with my Louis Vuitton Batignolles Horizontal in the winter and most recently, my new Kate Spade Maryanne in the summer (thank you Husband for my fabulous Mother's Day gift....yes, I received it early).  :-)

I do love clutches as well.  My favorite is my handpainted Susan Tancer Studio Designs pink and green clutch.  I don't use it often, but when I do, I get loads of compliments.

And I would love to add Elaine Turner's raffia clutch to my collection. Gorgeous!

 

But my totes....I have tons of totes.  Boat-N-Totes, Ballard Designs totes, Francesca Joy totes (my hand-painted custom design pink and green shell below), Thirty-One, Mixed Bag Designs, random totes from random boutiques.

What is your favorite handbag or tote?

Happy Thursday Y'all!

Pick My Dress: Rehearsal Dinner

Ashleigh's wedding is getting close!  Of course, I already have my attire for the wedding itself so now I'm shopping for the rehearsal dinner dress.  It is cocktail dress attire with the men in golf attire. 

I would like to show you Ashleigh's dress, but it's a secret from her betrothed.  It's definitely a show stopper for sure!  So keeping her dress in mind and the fact that she's the bride and all attention should be on her, I think I want to go with something a little more understated than my usual attire (ahem....Lilly Pulitzer). 

Yes, you heard me.  I'm putting my bright and airy Lilly aside and going with something one-colored.  That doesn't mean that the dress has to be boring or any less classy though, right?  (And okay, I squeezed in one or two Lilly's hear...but I'm thinking the Black Bowen over the Whitaker).

So, has anyone rented from Rent the Runway?  I've been a member for a year now but have never actually rented from them.  I haven't heard about any experiences but know the company is growing like crazy, so I guess they're doing pretty well.  Yesterday, I received an email from Rent the Runway saying I have a $20 credit for being a member for over a year.  Perfect!  I can rent a fabulous (and normally very expensive) dress for pennies on the dollar!  All the ones I'm showing below rent for $50.00.

Here are some of the dresses I'm considering.  I have my favorites and the ones I think most appropriate.  But I'm curiou, what do y'all think?  And of course, I'm most curious about Ashleigh's opinion!  :-)

Milly Sail Away Dress

Nanette Lepore Daisy Lace Dress

Kate Spade Andora Dress

Lilly Pulitzer Whitaker Dress

Lilly Pulitzer Black Bowen Dress

Nicole Miller Wall Street Woman Dress

Kate Spade Aubrey Wrap Dress

I can't wait to hear what y'all think both about the dresses and about Rent the Runway! 

Happy Thursday Y'all!
