Kate Spade Delight


One of my favorite designers is Kate Spade.  I love the classic elements, a line skirts, and conservative edge.  She pairs these classic looks with bright, youthful colors!
Her fall 2012 line was a graceful blast from the past.

Welcome to the 1950s in 2013:

Polka dots were so in style back then:


And here they are now, still so stylish:
