On the heels of Kate Spade Saturday's online store debut, we're already getting our first look at the brand's Fall 2013 lineup. The verdict? It's cool-girl styling at its finest. Sure, we're currently shedding our cold-weather layers in favor of shortened hemlines and breezier silhouettes, but there are still a few things we can take away from Kate Spade Saturday's Autumn preview right now. From print-on-print mastery and wider belts cinched over sleeveless army vests, to colorful hand-strap clutches and one jumpsuit that (without its turtleneck counterpart) is perfect for the season ahead, there's enough fodder here to appreciate the Kate Spade Saturday Fall '13 wares now and later. Click on for the complete lookbook.

Kate Spade Saturday Is (Finally) Online — See It All Here

With the official launch of the Kate Spade Saturday online store, we're that much closer to making our dream of living every day like it's Saturday a reality.

With the official launch of the Kate Spade Saturday online store, we're that much closer to making our dream of living every day like it's Saturday a reality. The new wide-ranging line is defined by bright colors, graphic shapes, and bold prints — well, that and the pieces also retail for about half as much as the Kate Spade New York collection. Even better yet, this isn't a diffusion line or a one-off kind of thing. The Saturday vertical, while totally separate from the Kate Spade entity, will maintain the flagship brand's signature bright and bold MO. Think vibrantly hued bags with a utilitarian slant, fun print dresses, cute ankle-strap sandals, retro-framed sunglasses, and a PF Flyers collaboration.
