New Fashion Obsession: Kate Spade Staurday

Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers, I have tons of her bags and jewelry.  But, this week I ventured over to her new line Kate Spade Saturday. The stuff on the site is definitely more wallet friendly and I love that it has free shipping on everything and free returns. That means, more for me to buy and say I will only keep my favorites and totally not return anything!!

I just placed my first order this week and it should be arriving today!!

Oh, and what I love even more, it racking up points for liking and sharing my favorite items.  The more points you get, the more free stuff you get! I currently only have 78 points, but I just started two days ago! I'm eying the 5,000 point Weekender Bag.

Some of the goodies I got (plus an extra May discount!)

Assembly Crossbody Bag {$66.50 $49.87}- I love the color of this bag and it's so roomy for all my stuff, plus it can be worn multiple ways!

Mesh Tube Necklace in Metal {$14.00 $11.90}- i love how simple and elegant this necklace is, it can be worn with so many things.

 

May28th & Kate Spade Saturday Watch In Signature Zig Zag {$35.00 $29.75}- Exclusive collaboration, it reminds me of my mom's old Swatch watches and a girl can never have too many watches.

What do you love from Kate Spade Saturday? 

What I Wore Wednesday

This Week it is finally beginning to look a bit like summer!!! I am so happy with Memorial day right around the corner! Summer is my favorite season, and it is always way too short. Am I right? I cannot wait to spend weekends lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun {and getting in a few laps too!}
Yesterday I wore a floor length, I guess you would call maxi dress.  I am in love with the fit and comfort of the dress. This is actually one of the first floor length summer dresses I have ever worn! 

 Sounds a little crazy, but every time I fall in love with one of those long flowy dresses, they always crush my dream when I end up swimming in the length of it. But not this one! I think it's actually a junior's dress, but I don't care I still love the fit of it. Oh, and the armpits are not super saggy so your bra does not show! {Huge problem for me when I buy tanks or sleeveless tops}
Jet was trying to be the center of attention last night, like he always is, and get in the way of a good photo. Took three shots, but finally got him to sit politely for a second to snap a good one.

The necklace is silver spiked with shiny crystals that my sister got for my birthday two years ago.

 On a side note, the hubby sent flowers and chocolates to my work last week for no reason. I got a few people jealous there! And most are still alive a week later, with little sunlight in the office!

Happy Thursday all!  Only two more days until a long needed Memorial Day weekend! Can't wait for beach and barbecue with firends!
What are your plans?
 

What I Wore Wednesday

Today we were going on day 3 of rain, I am almost forgetting what the sun looks like! On the plus side, I hope all of this rain helps with easing my allergies {which I'm sure a lot of you are suffering from too.}

I wanted to wear something bright and cheery today to help with all of the doom and gloom outside!

Tee: Cotton On

Crochet Spike Necklace: gift from my Mom from C Wonder

Watch: Michael Kors (it's actually men's, but I love oversize watches)

 Shoes: Steve Madden

What I Wore Wednesday

Today I would like to share what I had worn yesterday to work.  I recently started my new job as the assistant buyer for ThinkGeek, if you missed my announcement check it out HERE.  
As you can tell from my pictures, the dress code in the office is basically to look and feel good in what you wear and try not to offend anyone.  Yesterday was the first day since I had started that I took advantage of wearing a T shirt and leggings to work. Let me tell you, it's WAY more comfortable than business clothing {sorry for y'all out there that still have to wear suits to work!} 
We are also allowed to bring out dogs to the office {and my office already has the baby gate ready} But if you have met my dog, or seen videos of him before, I'm not sure my dog is office ready no matter how laid back the vibe is there.
Anyway, back to yesterday's outfit. Jet would not sit still or get out of the way long enough to take a picture, he wanted to be the center of attention as soon as I got home.

Jet finally sat still long enough to give me his paw for a picture.

Peter Pilotto for Target Has Arrived!

As I impatiently awaited for the Peter Pilotto for Target collection to launch on the Target website at 12 am this morning, it never went live!
I was on the phone with my mom and sister {3 way call with my mom holding her house phone with me on the other end and her cell with my sister at the other end} trying to figure out our plan of attack.  As we were researching, we found that the collection would launch sometime in the "wee hours of the morning," whatever that meant.
We decided to wake ourselves up as early as possible to check.  My mom called me at 5:30 am that it had launched!

This is what I ordered, fingers crossed that none of it gets backordered!

I decided to not even bother the trek out to one of the stores this morning, knowing the mad house it will be even though I really wanted the purple floral print sleeveless dress {not sure if it's worth the $70, but Target made that decision for me!}

What were you able to score today?

Peter Pilotto for Target Lookbook Revealed

I am beyond excited for the new Target designer collaboration with Peter Pilotto! I marked its release date on my calendar as soon as I heard about it back in September, when the 3.1 Philip Lim collection launched.

It’s ironic; I am currently sitting here writing this at my desk and I am wearing my 3.1 Philim Lim floral chiffon button down blouse! Most of my favorite items in my closet are from the Target designer collaborations.

Ever since the first collection, I have gotten at least one piece from every collection.  I just love the whole idea of these collaborations.  We budget minded fashionistas are able to snag a piece of fashion from designers that we most definitely would not be able to afford would not be willing to splurge on from their full price collections if we wanted more than 5 items in our wardrobe.

A few of my IGOTTAHAVETHIS!! from this upcoming collection:

What are some of the pieces you plan on purchasing? What are some of the pieces from past collections that you love? I would love to hear what others love about these collaborations!

Counting down the days until the collection is on sale!

What I Wore Wednesday

It feels really strange to have a post centered around me.  When it comes to my blog posts, I like being behind the camera and letting my DIYing take center stage.  However, my outfit yesterday I am completely in love with!  I was wearing some of my new favorite finds mixed with some oldies.

…It all started with my designer collection obsession from Target.  I have gotten at least one piece of each limited edition collection Target has released since the first one of Proenza Schouler back in 2007.  You can imagine how much I have spent since then with over a dozen collections launched!

Proenza Schouler

The last collection that launched was 3.1 Phillip Lim this past September.  His collection had bright graphics, and of course my favorite, ANIMAL PRINT! 

A few other items I scored from past collections:

Fast forward to the other week, who can forget Turkey Day?  My body is still recuperating from all that food!  I went back home to New York for Thanksgiving, and did the Moonlight shopping at Tanger Outlets (our new tradition!) and scored this AMAZING cobalt blue bag at Kate Spade, 60% off outlet prices- WIN!  Along with a matching wallet, iPad mini case, and2 bracelets.  And that was all just Kate Spade.

I really love shopping, can’t you tell?  And I love getting it all on sale, who pays full retail anymore?

So I paired my animal print skirt and Kate Spade bag with a simple turtleneck I have had forever from the GAP and blue flats from UO.  It was a miracle that they were all the same hue of blue!

The finished result:
