Quirky Holiday Barrettes For All Your Party-Time Needs

Jaime Richards — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 06:01:17 PST

It's safe to say that Kate Spade has the most festive hair accessories around, such as this year's trio of holiday barrettes. While they're a splurge at $78, their tongue-in-cheek phrases make them all the more covetable. The "cha cha cha" and "oh la la" barrettes will have you wanting to dance, flirt, and sip on candy cane martinis all night long. And the "pop fizz clink" barrette will remind you that sometimes too much of a good thing can actually be a bad thing. Wear them side-by-side with your hair up or down for a trendy look. Or wear them all yearlong - they're universal enough to be appropriate for a wide array of occasions.

Cute Alert: Kate Spade's Curling Ribbon Headband

Jaime Richards — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 06:00:00 PST

Kate Spade never fails to impress on the cute factor (recall her jingle bell headband from last year), and this year's festive hair accessory offering does not disappoint.

The gold-toned curling ribbon bow headband ($75) has a bit of a whimsical look, but it's not too over the top that it's ugly-Christmas-sweater-style gaudy. Wear it with a sleek ponytail or smooth blowout, or jazz it up by pairing it with a voluminous coiffure.

Tip: if you're feeling crafty, customize your own holiday-worthy head-topper by attaching real curling ribbon to a plain headband. To keep the ribbon from collapsing, be sure to first spray it with a stiffener, such as Stiffen Quik ($6).

Splurge vs. Save: Kate Spade Glasses Necklace

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:49:05 PDT

Kate Spade may be an unlikely place to find gadget accessories (hello, adorable Kate Spade iPhone and laptop cases!), but there's one thing you can count on - the goods are always fashionable.

Take for example this geek chic Hang in There Glasses Pendant (left), which is on sale for $88 right now. It's a must have for girls who wear glasses, but let's face it - the price is still kind of steep. If you're into the look but don't want to drop major cash for this tiny bauble, check this out: I found this Nerd Glasses Necklace (right) on Etsy for $15. It projects a similar feel as the Kate Spade version but won't leave you with a gaping hole in your pocket. You're welcome.

Celeb Style: Pippa's LBD and Punchy Accessories

Hannah Weil — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:09:30 PDT

Adding a pop of red and a wild print to an LBD, Pippa Middleton's street style provides the perfect example for styling up our Fall basics. Her black sweater dress is something we probably all have hanging around our closets in one form or another - just take Pippa's lead and update yours with a splash of color on this season's covetable crossbody style bags and a cool, printed scarf to offset a dark, Autumn palette. For a chic finish, add in a pair of your staple black ankle boots and your look can take you, like Pippa's, from work right out to dinner. Just shop our editors' picks to channel the same pulled-together, day-to-day style.

Kelly Schwarze — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:21:05 PDT

Amazon's announcement of four new Kindle devices has us ready to stock our new virtual gadget bookshelves with a never-ending reading list. What better way to carry these new reading machines than in a book? The Kate Spade book clutch ($325) reimagines classic novels into a compact clutch with cheeky cover designs. The current collection includes always chic literary classics like Emma, Romeo and Juliet, and Pride and Prejudice. At a little over five inches high and nine inches wide, the book clutch has room enough to double as Kindle case and minicarryall.

Kate Spade and Poppy King Make a Cool Lip Color Frankenstein

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 10:00:00 PDT

Kate Spade and Poppy King teamed up for new Supercalifragilipstick ($24), a capsule collection of vividly hued, shiny lipstick/lip gloss hybrids. "The formula holds various polymers that have a high reflective index and allow for maximum shine with hours of wear," King explains, adding "[we] wanted to do something hyper-maximum rather than minimal."

Lots of lipstick formulations made to resemble lip gloss have arrived in stores lately, but it's always worth checking out when Poppy King throws her hat in the ring. There aren't any plans to launch Kate Spade makeup, though; so far this is just a one-off collaboration. Supercalifragilipstick will be available in Fall 2011, and when it arrives on the Kate Spade website and in their boutiques, will you be interested in picking one up?

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 06:41:25 PDT

Kate Spade is continuing its street-chic streak with an upcoming handbag collaboration with Current/Elliott denim darlings, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. The six-piece capsule line, dubbed The Westward by Emily and Meritt for Kate Spade New York, will range from $245 to $1,295, and is set to feature pieces like this chestnut brown satchel bag with ostrich-print detailing. “They have such a great spirit and epitomize the chic, West Coast vibe," said Kate Spade’s president and creative director, Deborah Lloyd. "This collaboration really was about our girl stepping out of her normal comfort zone and hitting the road.”
