KATE IS GREAT!

I am in love with Kate Spade.  Yes, yet another girl I am in love with....It's not just love of her products as I am in love with the brand as a whole.  I love that her ads make you want to collect them and that she has a signature color that is all her own (so happy and bright).  I want to be like her, I want my own lifestyle brand when I grow up.  Something that's all my own, when you look at it you go "oh that's Blah Blah" No, I don't plan to name my brand 'Blah blah', but I couldn't think of a great name off the top of my skull...But a brand that you covet and collect.  Something special but not so precious that it doesn't go into regular circulation as your favorite (fill-in-the blank)...

These are some snapshots of Kate Spade ads that I adore, that are perfectly ready for inspiration board prime time:

How utterly chic and lady like is this?  Even though it's retro inspired it doesn't feel dated.

I am a sucker for that blue...

This is NOT a Kate Spade ad but it had something that felt a little 'Kate-ish' to me.  I feel like she would look at it and smile....

And this is another photo that I felt should be a Kate ad that's not.  It has also stolen my heart away and I hope you get that same funny feeling in your stomach as I do when I see it.  I think it's called utter delight....
