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.

Kate Spade New York on Sale!

Kate Spade Sealed With A Kiss Necklace ($95) – A sweet message for your sweetie. This necklace would make a great birthday or anniversary gift. It’s simple yet, unique.

Image: Nordstrom

Kate Spade I Dare You ($75) – This would be my pick. It’s got just enough sass but is still sweet, depending on the context of course.

Kate Spade Don’t Kiss Me Now I’m Busy ($) – A little sassy-ness (ok maybe it’s borderline snarky) never hurt anyone, right? This version is quite funny, though I don’t think a lot of gals would like this one as much as the other choices. But it would work for those days when well, you are busy and don’t want to be bothered. Then again, getting a kiss might make things much better!

All the necklaces above are made of 12k gold plated brass and fasten with a lobster clasp.  What I really like about these is the lettering. I like the font style used, it gives it a personal touch that block lettering can’t evoke.  If you like these, they can be purchased at Nordstrom stores and online.

Kate Spade ‘Say Yes’ Message Necklaces

Coney Island Lilia Tote ($355)  Here’s a bag that will look fantastic year-round. This tote is made out of quilted nylon trimmed with patent leather and is roomy enough to fit just about everything you’ll need.  What I really like the most are the shoulder straps, the mix of leather and chains is just enough to give it that little touch of edge.

Lincoln Road Allie Tote ($355) Now if you’re looking for a bag that will take you from work to evenings this high-shine patent leather hobo would do the job. The oversized zipper pulls are fun and a bit quirky, but it works with the style.

Roland Park Cecilia Satchel ($495) This is the bag I would choose. It’s a satchel shape, which I love, and the contrasting colours of black, brown and cream leather go so well together. It comes with a detachable shoulder strap and is a roomy 13″W x 11″H x 5.5″D.

Coney Island Stevie Tote ($295)  This is the bag you’d take with you for a day at the beach, poolside and even to a fair or theme park.  This nylon tote is quite cute and comes in green (shown), black, pink and red, perfect to go with just about any outfit. It’s roomy enough to fit all your essentials, snacks, camera and maybe even a bottle of  water. Fill it up and off you go!

As always Kate Spade bags fall under mid-range pricing which is another trait that I really like about her line. If you want to get a great looking bag but don’t want to spend too much money, Kate Spade is the way to go. What I also love is you won’t see a lot of KS bags on other women, unlike other brands, so there’s a bit of exclusivity. These bags are all available at Bloomingdales or directly through the Kate Spade official website.

Kate Spade Turns it Up a Notch

I have to wear readers all day to avoid a headache from working on a computer, so it’s important that I find a pair that are cute and don’t make me look like a granny.  I have a few favorite readers designers, and one of them is Kate Spade.  You can find a large collection of Kate Spade readers in lots of fun and flattering plastic frames at Nordstrom.  I am always trying them on!

Here are some cute Kate Spade readers that are available online:

Kate Spade Kitty Reading Glasses $68

One of the reasons why I prefer Kate Spade reading glasses over other brands is because they sit up on the nose like regular glasses instead of like half glasses (granny glasses!).  This is a more flattering and modern look for readers and allows you to read a computer screen more easily.  These Kitty readers are extremely flattering and come in a variety of different colors.

Kate Spade Molly Reading Glasses $68

I love the popular style of glasses frames with a pairing of two different colors on the exterior and interior of the frame.  These reading glasses have a lovely dark blue exterior with a baby blue interior.

There are many more styles of Kate Spade readers that I love in Nordstrom retail stores around the country.  Visit the eyewear department in a store near you and try on every pair to find out which style looks best on you!

Take for example this fabulous Kate Spade bag. It has everything a stylish gal like you will need to look even more amazing during your day to day activities. The tote bag is a classic shape and it’s updated with the gorgeous Blue colour and croc-embossed texture of the leather.  The Kate Spade Stevie Glazed Croc Embossed Shopper is even better in the rich hues of purple and red! It features a top zip closure with interior zip and wall pockets. And the hardware is 14K gold plated.  Best of all, it’s on sale for a mere $279, down from $425. Total steal!
