Kate Spade Easton as Four Circle Bag



Little to my mother’s knowledge, my dad actually likes modern art, modern homes, just mod style. Wow. Who would have thought that? Trust me, if you knew my dad, you wouldn’t. My mom on the other hand loves traditional comfort and coziness. For all the years they have been married, my mom just recently found out from my dad that all the while when she designed and decorated our homes, he actually liked something else. Wow, what a man. So when I spotted this bag I immediately began to wonder if my dad would like it, but my mom would not.

To many of us, Kate Spade manifests itself in clean and sleek designs. The Kate Spade Easton as Four Circle Bag puts the mod in modern. Because I didn’t know any of this info, I must let Kate Spade’s site explain it to you: “A jewel of the Chesapeake Bay, Easton is known primarily for its abundant waterfowl, Audubon Society wetlands, and, of course, the Easton Decoy Festival, a celebration of America’s beloved hunting accoutrement. The bright cotton canvas recalls the marine tradition that is at the heart of this historic bayside town.” Yep, I couldn’t have told you anything like that in my own words and made it make sense. This bag is completely modern, completely, edgy, and completely chic. I wonder if last weeks challenge on America’s Next Top Model could have been made a little more mod with this bag. This circle bag is line with Saratoga Springs print cotton. Available in either orange or hibiscus pink, I would definitely opt for the pink. I believe some of the most fashionable of us could pull this off- the question is do any of you want to? Buy this totally modern bag through Kate Spade for $225.

Coach Bubble Print Resort Line


So Coach is just as ready for me for the bitter winter to go away (yes, I know- it hasn’t even begun). The new Coach Resort line has let us in on a little sneak peek of some bubbly fun. The Coach Bubble Print Accessories and Tote add a little whimsical fun to the spring lines we are all waiting for. I know winter is just beginning, but I’m bitter cold already and just about ready to be splashing around in some fun and sun. Coach has given us a peak to the Resort line with a cute hat, wristlet, tote, and key chain. I really love the smaller accessories. I think the tote could look cute out at the beach, but it might be a bit much for me. The hat just seems so preppy and flirty, how could I resist? No word on pricing yet, but hopefully we will all hear a little more about this line sometime in the near future. Hope you all are bundled up and looking forward to all the Resort lines!
