Twist & Shout, Kate Spade!

My monday is already more cheery after shopping around the newly designed Kate Spade website. They have really embraced spring and summer colors and styles to get me excited, as if I needed another distraction... I wanted to talk about three memorable items I cannot stop thinking about!

I'll save the best for last to keep all of you reading ...

First, the Double Bow Hinged Bangle. If you haven't already figured out, I have a minor obsession with all things having a bow. This Kate Spade jewelry piece has an accompanying ring as well as earring set if you are interested. I love how simplistic this item is with the ability to uphold class. The perfect addition to any jewelry collection. Available in yellow, red, black and pink. Pictured below is the double bow ring.

Stud Earrings 48.00 USD

Ring $65.00 USD

Bangle $78.00 USD

The items get more exciting as the post continues... Next is the Hula Too, a sandal with hot pink straps, ankle closer, and a crystal pineapple on the face of the foot. If the hot pink straps don't catch attention, the large crystal pineapple will surely do the trick!

 I love the fact that Kate Spade is incorporating pineapples into her Summer 2011 line, it's so refreshing! Pineapples are not an overused icon which makes her line so unique. She even has a pineapple coin purse with layered gold disks! (View Pineapple Coin Purse Here) .

And finally, my new MUST HAVE handbag for Summer 2011, the Gold Coast Bright Evageline. I originally stumbled upon the Gold Coast Robin a few weeks ago and was fascinated by the new "ksny" closure. When I twisted it, I just wanted to shout! This closure is a diamond when locked, and to open you just twist it to match the square hardware. I become entranced by this small bag, and saw it again this past weekend. I loved the closure, the versatility, the soft cowhide and the bright pop of color, but couldn't justify spending a lot on such a small bag I would only use to go out at night. This is when I discovered the Evageline.

The larger size bag in the Gold Coast series. The handbag is big enough to fit all of your purse essentials, but still lightweight to not weigh you down in the summer when you are on the go or too hot to carry a larger hobo bag. When the chain handles are doubled it can fit perfectly right under the arm, but also has the ability to be one strap and sit lower on the waist.

The Evageline comes in a variety of colors. The shimmer series is available in ballerina pink, cream and cashew. The bright series is currently only available in neon pink while the original has ash and black. Although the neon pink certainly adds a touch of color to any outfit, the cream in the shimmer series is my favorite. This bag normally retails for $395.00 USD. 

But ... are you ready for the steal of the day? The metallic series is currently ON SALE for ONLY $177.00 USD, thats over 50% off!! What a find is that? Just because it's last seasons color! Buy it now while it's still on sale!

Hopefully I have brightened your Monday and fueled the shopaholics out there to check out Kate Spades new collection! You won't be sorry with any of these purchases! Happy Monday everyone! xoxo
