DEISGNER ALERT - Kate Spade

By Jax

Recently, Kate Spade has put out a line of tote "shoppers."  These cute and versatile bags run for $145.00 (already low for a Kate Spade tote),  but this guy is on sale for even less!

Isn't it nice when designer fashion becomes so accessible???

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Everywhere Tote

The great thing about buying a large meant-for-the-beach bag in a sturdy color and pattern (like the one seen above) is that it can easily double as your every day bag.  Or be just as helpful as the bag you load everything into before your picnic in the park.

It also is starting to (maybe?) be nice every day, which means I'll be running, and I'll need something new to carry those running clothes in...

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Nautically Speaking

This is my second "nautical" item being featured this week....am I on a nautical kick?  We'll have to wait for next week to see if this keeps up!

I have never, ever seen nautical paired with dark brown, and I LIKE IT!  Great combo!  Gerat bag.  Makes it not seem so summery, so you can get other season mileage out of this particular tote.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Kate Spade

I loved this bag ever since I first laid eyes on it a few months ago in the window at Kate Spade.  My love for oversized bows will never fade!

That bow!  The black and gold chain strap!  The elegant weaving!  This bag is just ok to wear to work, but still so much fun to bring out after!

GUEST POST: Sweet, Sturdy (+ Shimmery!) Totebag

I am a firm believer in tote bags. Being a busy city girl (PR goddess, actor, singer, dancer), I need to carry a lot of things around with me all day long.

Turning to the crafty minds at ETSY.COM, my tote bag dreams came true (times 15, at least! Bless that site). I am smitten with peacelovenpolkadots mini carpet bag. The bow keeps a potentially soccer-mom style bag looking sweet and fashionable. The fabric (did I mention this bag is available in A TON OF GORGEOUS FABRICS?!) in this case is elegant and professional enough to make it through the day and into the night. The size is perfection-- big enough for a folder, but not so big I feel like I am carrying luggage. Also: SO STURDY! This bag was made with upholstery fabric! Easy to clean and super strong. Is there a better bag in this world? I am not so sure.
