I couldn’t decide which Kate Spade Flicker Melinda Satchel I liked best, so I thought I’d just share all three with you. Admittedly, the gorgeous berry caught my eye first, but the luxurious gold and that sharp navy are just as beguiling – and I could see any of them fitting nicely into my wardrobe. The boxy shape isn’t always my favorite silhouette, but I can’t imagine this bag any other way. It’s polished, …

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.

… ask me, when it comes to green, the brighter the better. Thus I love the springy stripes of the Kate Spade High Falls Melinda Satchel, a sporty but sweet bag that looks perfect for spring and summer jaunts. The simple structure and stripes make it casual enough for daily use, but the preppy chicness that most Kate Spade bags exude would make it perfect for pairing with dresses and skirts. It’s $278 at eBags.

Though I adore the vivacious print on the Kate Spade Japanese Floral Melinda Satchel, I’m not quite sure it translates that well on an everyday handbag. In fact, this bright bag looks more like a makeup bag than an actual purse. It’s a bit too boxy, and there’s a bit too much white space for my liking. I’d stash this with my cosmetics, hair, and skin goodies if I were hitting the road (it’s pretty spacious, so it would hold …

Perhaps Kate Spade is trying to inspire some innovative New Year’s resolutions for those who are tired of the usual weight loss nonsense.

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 …

This Kate Spade Vanston Stripe Scout Crossbody

may look fairly simple, but this is one example of the devil really being in the details. It’s not that those fabulous (and classic!) stripes are easy to miss, of course. They make the bag the sporty-chic, feisty little companion that it is. Snap it open, though, and inside you’ll find a bright yellow lining that the Kate Spade team dubbed …

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’m accosted by a to-die-for floral print, as anyone who knows me can attest. TheIsland Flor Melinda Satchel is pretty much the leader of garden variety bags right now, boasting an absolutely beautiful tropical print boosted by pops of apricot, mango and plum. Yummy as it sounds, it’s really special because it’s so functional, with an extra-spacious interior and protective feet on the bottom (not that I’d dare place her on the ground). Available for $278 at Nordstrom.
