… jewel tones back into our color palettes. One of the bags on my “want” list this season is the Kate Spade New York Knightsbridge Mod Little Helena Bag. This croc-embossed patent leather bag combines two of our favorite bag trends – patent and croc. This luxury leather bag has numerous pockets inside as well as two compartments with a zip divider in the middle. It also has protective feet to keep our pretty teal bag in tip top shape. Treat yourself to one for $395 when you shop at …

Dilemma: How many $495 Kate Spade bags do I need? The answer could be three, although I could possibly whittle it down to two. There is no way in heck, though, that I’d be able to choose just one of the label’s gorgeous Knightsbridge Helena bags. Easily one of the most striking bags available right now, it’s coated in gorgeous, glossy-to-the-max croc-embossed leather. This deep ocean teal is perfect for fall, but …

… what’s on the style horizon. Some of fall’s most mesmerizing trends are captured in the new Kate Spade Knightsbridge Shayla, a beautiful bag just right for the woman who prefers a smaller size for everyday use. Not that it’s tiny, but this simple shoulder bag is on the petite side. That’s preferable for the end of the year, when bulky coats and sweaters rule and heavy bags only add to the volume. In a gorgeous shade of dark teal, this minimally detailed, lavish purse exudes …

… that my whole entire wardrobe is 95% black and white. I do have some color in my closet but very little. Let me mention, by color I also mean Navy Blue so it’s still very dark. For about two years now, I’ve been a black and white addict when it comes to clothes. I’m not gothic and everything I wear is classy but for some reason those are my comfort colors.

The Kate Spade “Fanfare Missy” is the perfect clutch to add to my collection. Yes, it’s kind of wild but to carry around …

Kate Spade‘s color of September was ruby, which led to an influx of peppy bags in variations of one of my favorite, outrageously bright hues. I wouldn’t exactly call the lush suede on this Kate Spade Algonquin James Tote “ruby,” but it’s extremely attractive nonetheless. The perfect complement to a dark charcoal or inky black wool coat, this smart tote performs like a pro and exudes …

I’m so glad we live in a time and place where mustard yellow is abundant in fashion. Kate Spade’s Macdougal Alley Stevie Satchel, a bag that’s unarguably simple and chic, is welcoming the sea change in neutrals in its “pollen” colorway. Embrace mustard as your new neutral and wear it with dark denim, your favorite LBD, jewel tone tops, lazy, printed maxi dresses, that old pair of sweatpants you wear to the grocery store. If you’re not convinced yet, Stevie also comes in …

Another cute clutch from Kate Spade ? This is madness – and I mean that in a good way. Who in her right mind could resist the appeal of the Tiki Bar Cocktail Clutch? Topped with a signature gilded pineapple clasp, this sleek, glossy bag is etched with a fun print inspired by those sultry evenings spent sipping cocktails on some fabulous island. Oh, to live that kind of life every day of the year! With this in your …

I swear that I’m obsessed with approximately 90% of Kate Spade‘s spring/summer collection so far. I seem to recall saying something similar last year, which can only be good for Kate Spade and bad for me. Good thing I have some semblance of self control or I’d probably be dropping a cool $378 on the equally cool Wicker Park Sherri, an unusual rounded tote made from both rope and wicker. It’s trimmed with only a hint of leather, but its main …

Here’s a silhouette I’m absolutely loving this season. The Kate Spade Palm Groves Melinda is a fabulous interpretation of the label’s timeless satchel. It’s dipped in “gold” for a polished appearance, but that’s not all it has going for it. The metallic leather trim rests easily against the neutral cream backdrop, lending the entire piece a considerably glamorous look. It’s not that you’d grab this for a special occasion, exactly, but you …

One part cream, three parts purple, all parts delicious. The Kate Spade New York Melinda Satchel is a drool-worthy summer sensation, inticing us like a tasty scoop of ice cream. The lacquer-coated cotton is easy to clean, which is great considering how many places I’m going to be taking this bag. The whole thing zips up from side to side, keeping all my belongings tucked inside tight. Available for $278 from Nordstrom’s.
