I dearly love Kate Spade’s ladylike bags. You can always count on her to designer a beautiful bag for those who love structure. This time she’s wrapped it up with a very tidy bow!

A boxy bag that is sleek and polished in rich, supple, black leather. This bag features a touch of patent in a horizontal bow that’s all about clean lines and no frills. The patent gives it a touch of sophistication. Tan ostrich embossed rolled leather top handles keep this bag from becoming too formal. They provide a bit of luxurious casual styling so you can feel free to carry this bag whether you are wearing business formal or daytime denim. A detachable strap with a 20″ drop allows you to have hands-free versatility.

It seems to be a trend at the moment for handbags to look like brief cases. A lot of designers are getting in on the trend and I’m liking it. I’ve never been one for trends but this trend is a bit of a mystery to me. I love the whole idea of a bag looking like a hidden purse. Kind of make people think you are on your way to work only to find out that it’s your bag.

The Westward Collection from Kate Spade New York “Wanderlust” Satchel is a gorgeous example of a briefcase turned purse. It doesn’t look like it would be a handbag and I loved it. If I saw someone down the street carrying this bag I would instantly think books or a lap top was it not a wallet, makeup and other goodies.

I don’t go to the beach very often, as it’s way too hot in Miami to the point you can barely breathe, but when I do I try to go as stylish as possible. I’m definitely one of those women that have designer beach goods like towels, dresses, umbrellas, sandals, bags etc. When I stumble on unique looking beach accessories I tend to want them including the Kate Spade New York “Westwind Drive Felice” Tote.

Usually, I’m not a fan of gold or silver fashion accessories I always thought they were too gaudy looking but in the past year or so I’ve fallen in love! I’ve come to the realization that sometimes flashy is good and fun! The “Westwine Drive Felice” Tote is unlike any beach tote I’ve ever seen before. I don’t recall ever seen a shiny gold beach tote that would shine amazingly in the sun!

Ideally the tote isn’t practical for the beach but it sure is gorgeous! For me, I like to carry my everything in my beach bag to prevent carrying lots of bags. For this tote, I’d made a sacrifice though and bring multiple bags.
