Kate Spade "K"andy

Sorry for the intense blog silence. First my immune system (or lack thereof, thank you very much auto-immune disorder...) was unsuccessfully fighting of a summer flu (yes summer!?! What's that about?). Then my Dad went to the ER and now my Grandpap is in the hospital! Yikes!!! So in an effort to lighten things up a bit I did so online window shopping.

Kate Spade makes the cutest things. I especially love the new collab with one of my favorite bloggers, photogs, and illustrators: Garance Doré. Isn't the illustration she did for them fab? And the cellphone case and purse? Trés chic! I also adore the zebra watch bangle, tweed bag, and illustrated serving tray... Love!

Well, I hope you enjoyed sharing my window shop wants. Please excuse me if my blogging's a little spotty as the personal chaos continues... I'll try my best to keep up with this a little slice of lightness and positivity for my sake and to share a smile with everyone else!

Where's your go to window shopping spot when you need a pick me up?

Kisses,

K

Italian Lace

I was catching up on some old posts on Garance Doré's blog when I came across the one with Giorgia and her beautiful lace dress.

Turns out Giorgia had started her own line of Italian lace beauties and was wearing one.

 

Below is what she has to say about her line, and its touching inspirations, on her site, Like My Mother:

"Like My Mother" draws its styling inspiration from old trunks in the attics, memories hidden in the drawers by our mothers' grandmothers. Saving the traditions like a comeback to one's cultural roots and values connects the generations over time. Lace is the creative identity of the brand which stands out on its own thanks to the exclusive hand-crafted woven fabrics, heart of the traditional Made In Italy. The unique laces combined with linear shapes suggest both tradition and innovation. "Like My Mother" rediscovers the mother's old wardrobe, the lightness of the summery and feminine fabrics which keep emotional souvenirs."

Kisses,

K
