My Obsession: Kate Spade

When it comes to fashion I like girly.  I like poofy dresses/skirts, glitter, pink, bows, polka dots and apparently extremely expensive things.  There's one brand that I've found that meets my criteria, but does not meet my budget...that is the wonderful world of Kate Spade.  Her dresses are classic with flare and twist without being a 12 year old dress, but the price tag that accompanies it makes me want to cry. 

Kate Spade is the kind of love that you fall hard, fast and deeply into and before you know it you can't get out.  I wouldn't say I'm a brand whore because I wear a lot of different things, it just all depends on if I like it or not.  Kate Spade just happens to meet all of my fashion needs in one great and cute line. 

Edmonton has just opened up a Kate Spade store in none other than West Edmonton Mall so of course I had to go see it (surprisingly enough it was Dean's idea to go). It's a bright and colourful store and you just can't help but drool over everything.  The best thing I liked about it was the staff.  The store didn't have the snobbish atmosphere that surrounds Michael Kors and Aritzia.  Both girls working in the store struck up conversations with both Dean and I, invited us back and made us feel welcome.

My goal is to one day own at least one dress or skirt from Miss Kate Spade and definitely a watch.  I'll just be saving up my pennies....I mean nickels for quite some time.

Kate Spade has also expanded into home designs from dishes (including ones with polka dots or dragonflies), table cloths, tea cups and table cloths.  Dean and I have found our dream set of dishes from her line.  They aren't too girlie for Dean, but you can also mix and match them with the pale blue and cream colour that she also did in the same design.
