Kate Spade's New Kitchen Collection

A while back, I did a post on Kate Spade's home collection, which I absolutely loved. I was cruising the Kate Spade website last week and they've just launch a new kitchen collection that is absolutely adorable!

Naturally, the colors are classic Kate Spade, bright and cheery, which is a nice change from most stainless steel kitchen items. Has anyone purchased anything from the new collection? I'd love to hear some feedback about the quality of the pots and bakeware.

Tea Kettle // Green Pot // Glass Canister // Cookie Cutters // Pancake Set
Blue Pot // Blue Loaf Pan // Big Striped Canister // Skinny Striped Canister // Pitcher

Top Picks from Kate Spade Home

Sofa // Rug // Flask
Pendant Light // Place Setting // Flatware // Champagne Coupes 
Green Chair // Lamp // Vase // Pink Chair

Kate Spade announced an expanded home line earlier this month and it's absolutely fabulous! They added some great additions to its popular tabletop section and debuted some gorgeous furniture. My absolute favorite is the pink chair. 

The full home collection is coming this spring but they currently have 60 items for sale on the Kate Spade website. You can also shop the collection in person at these select Kate Spade stores.

Fourth of July Fashion

When it comes to wearing "holiday outfits," the line between festive and tacky can be a fine one. To avoid being on the wrong side of the line I like to follow this rule: If I wouldn't wear it on a non-holiday, then I probably shouldn't be buying it. This has helped me to avoid ugly Christmas sweaters, unflattering pastels and lots of inappropriate uses for an American flag.

There are tons of great summer styles out there that can be worn over the holiday weekend and straight through to Labor Day. 

These are my favorite festive options:

Skirt: Charles Anastase // Bikini: Lisa Marie Fernandez // Bag: Kate Spade // Maxi Dress: Splendid

Shorts: J. Crew Factory // T-shirt: Splendid // Sandals: Jack Rogers

Navy Stripes for Spring

Navy stripes are as old as the hills but they're still my favorite look for spring/summer. There's just something about navy stripes that always looks young and fresh despite being such a timeless style. Don't get me wrong, I love a fun warm weather trend, but every summer I always go back to my classic navy striped pieces. If you invest in a high quality striped dress, wedge or bag you can count on wearing it every spring and summer for the next five years. Talk about trend-proof!

Don't believe me? Check out this mini-history on navy stripes.

Keds for Kate Spade

I got an email this morning from Kate Spade that brought me right back to my childhood. Keds! When I was growing up my favorite summer shoes were white Keds slip-ons. 

These to be exact:

China Patterns for Spring

Spring is (hopefully!) just around the corner, and if you've been using your favorite holiday or winter themed dishes, it's officially time to make the switch. Yes, I know that many people choose to use one set of china all year round (my mother is quite faithful to her Wedgewood Nantucket Basket pattern), but some like to freshen up their table by switching patterns with the change of seasons. 

I know that if I had the cabinet space (and the budget), I would own half a dozen sets of china so that I could match them to my mood or party theme. These are some of my favorite patterns for spring that would be perfect to pull out for Easter, Mother's Day and any old time when you feel like dressing up your dinner table.
