Friday Find: Capri, Lemon Love & Kate Spade for Spring

disclosure: This post contains an affiliate links, which means Simplified Bee receives commission if you make a purchase using this link.

 

2014 is Kate Spade’s year of “places to go and people to see.” This month the destination is Capri – Italy’s high profile Mediterranean island that has drawn celebrities, artists and writers for centuries. As you will see, Kate Spade’s new spring collection is inspired by the island’s resort vibe, ocean vistas and popular limoncello drinks.

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of viewing the new Capri collection with fellow blogger Michaela at the Kate Spade store in Palo Alto, California. I love it’s fresh, yet retro look. From dresses to hats, handbags to sandals, this playful collection will have you looking great for that spring break vacation!

Michaela (um so pretty, could be a model!) snapped some images of us trying on our favorite outfits from the collection. How cute is she above in that little black dress and bamboo wedge?

We both loved this casual outfit with “ciao baby” tee, capri lemon jeans, and t-strap bow sandals. Want it all!

Here I am (gulp) in a French navy dress with a full skirt and statement necklace. I have to admit, I felt uncomfortable in front of the camera! With Michaela ‘s direction, I think the images turned out okay! The dress of course is gorgeous!

I also fell in love with this beautiful floral lace top and gold knot necklace.

And how cute is this lemon slice clutch?

As you can see, I fell in love with so many items, but ended up picking up a pair of gold sandals for myself. But, I’m still contemplating several items including the fun accessories! Here are some of my faves…

Live in the San Francisco Bay Area?

If so, the Kate Spade store in the Stanford Shopping Center (Palo Alto)  would love for you to drop by and take a look at the new Capri collection for yourself. Be sure to mention the “Simplified Bee Blog” and they will give you a *FREE GIFT* for just coming by. Isn’t that great!

Friday Finds

Wahoo! It’s Friday and I’m finally starting to kick this lousy cold I’ve been fighting all week. Not fun. I sure hope you’ve avoided it and are staying healthy!

On a happier note… while in the process sourcing for several clients, I spotted some stylish home decor items I thought you’d love too. As you can see, I’m still gravitating toward those gold tones, honeycomb patterns and statement pieces.

The last item pictured, a tufted linen bench, is part of Target’s new Threshold Spring 2014 Collection.  It’s simple simple, yet chic and affordable! Gotta love that.

Happy Friday,

Friday Finds :: Christmas Ideas on Pinterest

Not surprisingly, I’ve been spending some too much time on Pinterest gathering inspiration for the Christmas season. I’m sharing some of my recent faves today, but be sure to drop by my Christmas Ideas board for over 200 more. If you haven’t already started decorating… it will motivate you for sure!

As you can see, I’m still in a gold holiday mood!

And like many, I was saddened by the news of Nelson Mandela’s passing yesterday. He was an incredible leader and through love, peace and justice touched millions of lives.
