ideeli is an invitation-only shopping community, with deep discounts on designer names – but the sales are all very short, so if you want something – you  need to jump on it.

Are you a fan of Kate Spade? Usually when I think of Kate Spade I think minimalistic, non-fussy handbags.

I love Kate Spade’s new line of  “Cortes” jewelry.  It’s made with tiny little gold-plated round paillettes and almost reminds me of something a belly dancer would wear.
There is something so sensual about jewelry that shimmers and moves as you wear it – and with all the little paillettes, this jewelry is guaranteed to do that!

There is a triple-strand necklace, with strands of 24″, 20″ and 16″ lengths.

You can also get a four-strand bracelet, with dozens of teensy little circles.

And to top it off, matching earrings

If you keep up with the Luxury section of Splendicity you know very well that I adore classic and traditional luxury items for their ability to transition from event to event and from season to season. One designer that thoroughly understands this concept, and has for nearly fifteen years, is Kate Spade.
Kate Spade, a midwestern born, Arizona educated, and New York employed girl understands these values because she saw these classic and traditional items were missing from the fashion industry after working in the industry for some time.
After discovering the lack of these items in the world of fashion, …read more
