It was a really nice weekend. Here it is in short points: Drop Dead Diva, Kate Spade, 8 mile bike ride, Car appointment, McDonald's oatmeal (so good), Wash/Wax my car, BBQ for Dad at brothers, Dinner at Gma's for my husband's family.
It was a good weekend. It really was, and I finally was able to use my new camera again. You know how I wanted to use it to go to the Zoo....we didn't get there again. But I guess I kind of figured that would happen being it was a holiday over the weekend.
Wait a minute, back up, did I mention Kate Spade in that paragraph before? I most certainly did!! I decided to order a purse + wallet while they had a "Surprise" Sale last week. But really I don't know what was so "surprising" about it considering I just checked the website and it's still FOR SALE. But none the less I can say that I participated in the Kate Spade Surprise sale. Ha, whatever. So here is the bag!
Kate Spade Grove Court Small Sloan in color: Dark Geranium
Shirt: LC Lauren Conrad (old) | Necklace: Forever21 | Shorts: H&M | Purse: Kate Spade | Wedges(old): Steve Madden (similar)
I should tell you, when you look at the picture on the KS website, don't you think it looks like a dark coral color? Well, don't think that. Because it's totally not. I sure was "surprised" when I got the bag in the mail. I can say I was slightly let down, but the bag has grown on me now that I used it all weekend. I should have read the reviews, because stupidly I checked them after I got the back and what do you know this was on the reviews: "However, if you're thinking that it will be a coral pink, it is actually a (very bright) hot pink. " It truly is a stunning purse and I LOVE IT. I got this cute wallet to (somewhat) go with it. Different kinds of leather but matching colors.
Not my best angle, but I got the skirt + tank from Marshall's. I can't remember the brand specifically on the maxi skirt, but it was SO affordable ($16.99 people!!) and I liked the tank because it was a little more upscale than a good old Target white tank top. It was $9.99 and the brand Cynthia Rowley. I have a lot of her things (from Marshall's). I do so well there!
Happy Father's Day! This is a great picture of me and my dad.
And of course, me and Michael! I just love this man.
How was your weekend?? Linking up with B Loved Boston and Champagne & Suburbs today!
I'm so glad you ended up loving the purse in the end. Although- had you opted to sell, I probably would have bought it even though I need another KS bag like I need another hole in the head. ;o)
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you linked up with us!! I love the bag and the color - perfect for spring and summer!! So I noticed you watch drop dead diva - I'm not even sure how the series is already ending :( I have to admit I haven't watched the last few episodes - but I know there was a huge thing that happened with Grayson (didn't want to give it away in case you havent watched haha)!
ReplyDeleteThat bag you got is so cute! I love KS, I'm mega jealous.
