Fashion Friday: A Nostalgic Fashion Date with Kate!

It's all about Kate! Nope, not Middleton, try the more flashy Kate aka Kate Spade. Ms Spade not only produces the most quotable ad campaigns, but also offers a fashion brand that is fun for any age. Although the line is completely appropriate for all women to display some expression, there's something nostalgic about the designer. More specifically, youthful expectations. You know how as a child every little girl idolizes and dreams of being Eloise? Kate Spade is somewhat reminiscent of an adulthood Eloise. Sure, the character is just a fun, creative outlet, but Kate Spade's designs touch on that childhood love of individuality. The colorful prints send you right back to that familiar happy place of carelessly wandering around Manhattan and dining at The Plaza. The designer identifies the brand as "playful sophistication" and that's exactly what it is! Whether it's the glitter from my Kate Spade wallet, jewels, or iPhone case, the brand always adds a sparkle of optimism to my day. Hence, why I absolutely adore Kate Spade!
