Kate Spade has launched new arrivals for May, just in time to buy before the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil. The theme this year has been places to go and May is Rio. There are some super cute items in this collection, including a new coin purse Gigi and I may have to get! Take a look at my pics below.
Happy Shopping!
While in Vegas I window-shopped some of the new Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer Collection. I love the whole Roman theme. This Organza Midi Skirt in particular caught my eye. I couldn’t stop staring at it.
Beautiful isn’t it?
Go on and Splurge!
I found the Puff-Sleeve Blazer in Warm Poppy in the sale section in a size 6. I try to get a size 10 Petite or an 8 in blazers but there wasn’t one to be found anywhere in this color. This size will be fine as long as the sleeves on the top I wear are thin or sleeveless.
After a few days of dressing down, it was time to start back with outfits in decent clothes again. I picked up the Zora Tee during the Tory Burch Friends & Family. The shorts are from J Crew last year.
I loved this whole outfit and cannot wait to wear it again!
Just a little outfit post from my Vegas Vacation. Each time I go the experience is a little different whether it’s different restaurants, always a different hotel, different shows, etc. This time we stayed in two hotels, the Flamingo and then moved to the Mandarin Oriental. The latter is a beautiful, albeit pricey, hotel. If I could afford it I would stay there each time. There’s something to be said about not having a casino in the same hotel you are staying. The pool was gorgeous and everyone has a padded lounge chair. No stalking or reserving any like the other hotels. There was nothing wrong with our room at the Flamingo. We stayed in the remodeled “Go Rooms” and it’s perfect for a quick stay.
This was Travel Day 1. The Silk Crepe Maxidress was perfect. I am always chilly on planes and the Metallic V-Neck Sweater was just enough to keep me warm. One drawback to the sweater though. It almost caused me to get a pat-down by TSA due to the metallic threading in the sweater. I was about to go on my way and the TSA Agent said, “Hold on. I may have to check your sweater.” I was like “Say what?” Luckily I passed on through. I used my Amalie Sandals more than I thought I would. They were very comfortable all day. I usually like to take a small purse, like a cross-body for trips but I loved carrying the Kerrington Tote around. The interior zipped pouch kept my phone and wallet secure.
I am in love with the Chrome Green color of the Factory Scalloped Shift Dress. I wore this the first night out with the Grande Crystal Drops Necklace and Martina Metallic Wedges. Husband and I went to the Mandarin Bar to celebrate our anniversary.
Day 2 had Husband finishing up a poker tournament and me on my own for a little while. My London Blouse with white Pleated Shorts and Amalie Sandals were perfect for the morning and afternoon. I chose these shorts instead of the Bermudas since they were a little dressier.
I kept the London Blouse on and changed into the Fluted Skirt in Double-Crepe. My Cleo Metallic Loafers and Kate Spade Clutch helped polish me up for the evening.
We moved hotels on Day 3 and I wore my new purchase from the Tory Burch store, the Mia Slim Boot Jean with the matching-in-color Lidia Polo and my Cece Ballet Flats. I loved this outfit. Husband thought the jeans were a little wacky but he lived with it.
On the flight home, I wore the Silk Crepe Maxidress in Brilliant Blueberry and topped it with the Jackie Cardigan in Black.
I was finally able to find my fit in the Seville Wedge Espadrille last year when J Crew started making these in half sizes, taking a 6 1/2. I bought them in Navy and and Chambray and wore them both quite a bit last year and already a few times this year. The new colors added this year are Citrus Lime and Vintage Surplus. I think the Sandstone may have been called Flax last year.
These are going to really stand out this Summer. I can’t wait to wear them but first I will treat them. Gigi uses Vectra Spray and I finally decided to give it a try. It works well on repelling stains and liquid and you can use it on leather, satin, silk, etc.
