Time for the third installment of my favorite looks! This post is comprised of three designers because I couldn't narrow down my favorites from the collections. Oddly enough 2 are designers I had never heard of before. That is what I love about my blog, I try to go through all the collections and discover new designers each year.

First up is Hunkydory, which was shown in Stockholm in January.  I like that it has a cool, laid-back vibe and also looks really comfortable. I see a bit of Balmain in it, but more accessible...don't you? I would be happy to wear any of these looks!  Too bad the clothes are expensive and don't ship to the US, see their official site.


Next up we have Rena Lange, from Berlin fashion week! this collection has amazing prints and also has a really pretty/edgy vibe! How amazing is that last look? I love the pinch of purple in the top! I want to wear it RIGHT NOW.


Finally, Temperley London! Usually these collections are too girly for me, but I loved the prints and colors this season.

This past weekend I met up with Christine and Lydia for brunch and some shopping. There were supposed to be more of us, but the other girls couldn't make it...sad!  We enjoyed a lovely brunch at Nellie Green's and then headed to Coco's of Madison because they are having a $10 sale...everything is $10!!! While we were there I tried on so many great pieces, but walked out with a Marc Jacobs denim jacket, knee-length flared leather skirt and a burgundy oversized jacket (which the woman at the store said retailed for $500, wowie!)  I paid a measly $30, how awesome is that!?

On Monday I went out to breakfast with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin and we stopped at Uptown Consignment. They also had amazing pieces; we're talking a Proenza Schouler vest and Miu Miu dress (among other non-designer pieces!)  I found a pair of Dolce and Gabbana mary janes for $98; they fit perfectly and were in great condition, except one was missing a heel tip. I left without them and couldn't stop thinking about what I could wear them with, so I stopped at the store again on my way home to pick them up.  Because of the missing heel tip I got 20% off! YES!!! New tips have been ordered and once I put that on they'll be as good as new.

Last Wednesday I was invited to the Kate Spade Saturday exclusive preview party in New York.  So I dragged my friend Jess from work with me to check out the collection (okay, not dragged, she was very excited)!  Kate Spade Saturday launches in March and is a less expensive version of Kate Spade New York.  The line is geared toward a younger demographic with the pieces coming in bright colors and prints.  Thanks to Fab, you can shop the collection before it's officially released! They have a Kate Spade Saturday Pop Up Shop where you can purchase select pieces.

The prices will be around 50% lower than regular Kate Spade, the most expensive item I saw at the event was $170 for a dress and bag.  According to WWD, the average price point for Kate Spade Saturday will be $90 for apparel; $55 for eyewear; $40 for fashion accessories; $130 for handbags; $25 for home; $30 for jewelry; $85 for shoes; $45 for small goods; $50 for swimwear; $30 for tech, and $50 for watches.

Some of my favorite pieces from what I saw at the launch are the B.F.F. Cardi which can be worn as one color or a mix of black and blue, the Let Loose Dress that can be worn 3 ways, and a lot of the bags, accessories and home items.
At the event they had a selection of items to purchase and I picked up a set of 4 tall glasses.  We also got goodie bags that contained an adorable set of pencils; all were black and had the day of the week printed on them; except for Saturday, which was yellow, because it's #TheBestDayEver!

Thanks to Kate Spade for the invite, I had such a fun time at the event!
