Kate Spade Cape Cod Collection

One of the best places to vacation in the US in my opinion is the Northeast. Granted, on a different day I will tell you a different place, but Nantucket and Cape Cod are both gorgeous and relaxing towns. There is a small town atmosphere, along with the feeling of lots of relaxed big money, but they are an ideal beach town and get away town. Kate Spade has released the Cape Cod Collection, which brings to the forefront of the the most regonizable animals in sea life from this area, the lobster. The lobster claw and body is a cunning symbol for this beach town and perfect to go along with the relaxed feeling of the Kate Spade Cape Cod Collection. I love the shape of the Cape Cod Pailette Maya which goes for $595. It is time to get our minds off the wind, snow, and rain of this crazy winter and onto the seashells, lobster, and beaches of summer. Check out the entire Cape Code Collection at Kate Spade.

Prada Napa Messenger Bag

A new fringe bag that has sparked all sort of debate is the Prada Fringe Tote that I once really despised and then decided I liked *on Victoria Beckham*. Between those stars are the key words. Blasphemy some shouted! But can any of us help the fact that VB looks beyond stunning in nearly anything that goes on her body?? She has that curse, and I would definitely take on that curse if anyone asked me to. But this new little rendition has me in



and my opinion will surely not change at any time. Appearing as if it is straight from an episode of That 70’s Show, the Prada Napa Messenger Bag is straight up fugilicious. Sure the Prada name is flung onto this Napa leather bag, but the fringed shoulder strap is a hideous attempt at bringing fringe sexiness back. The only shot they have at making this bag partially appealing is the fact that the fringe shoulder strap is detachable. This means that when the richest of the rich happen to have a dress up 70’s theme party the bag will suit them, and then one day, they can take the monstrosity of a fringe strap off and give it to their pure bred pup as a chew toy. Gag me. Pre-order via Neiman Marcus for $1050.
