Fashion Goodwill Haul! This is a gorgeous, functional bag. I've been researching awhile for the perfect medium size bag and I've found it! I have it in cream and it truly is a cream which makes it easier to wear than white. Obviously you have to be more careful with a lighter coloured bag but it looks so crisp and sharp against the darker colours (grey, navy, purple, black, brown) in my wardrobe. The pebbled leather is soft and smooshy. The gold embossed logo is a classy touch with a puffy gold spade above it. The inside lining is a nice striped fabric and there is one zipper pocket and two slip pockets inside. I also really appreciate the large open pocket under the flap on the outside for slipping in my iPhone or other quick-access items. There was a lot of though put into this bag.The size is perfect. In it, I can bit a large pouch with my baby's essentials (3 diapers, wipes, bib), a small makeup bag, my large Coach wallet, tissues, my keys and my iPhone, with some room to spare for one or two more things.I originally thought I wanted the Miu Miu bow but kept reading about quality issues which is crazy for a 1000+ bag!! The bow is also trendy which will look dated in a couple of years, whereas the Kate Spade Leslie is timeless. It looks way more expensive than it is. It has a nice balance of being structured and slouchy. It's very comfortable worn as a crossbody and also cute when it's held by the hand or in the crook of the arm. It's the perfect everyday bag.
I searched and searched for some simple black rubber boots that I could wear dressy or business casual when I finally found these boots. You wouldn't think it would be that hard but it was. I also wanted it to be ankle high so that I could get them off and on easily and still be high enough for protection from water. This is exactly what I wanted. I read in some reviews that other rubber boots had a smell to them. These boots don't. My only complaints are the ribbon gets in the way when taking off the boots and it is a little tight. As others have written, maybe they will stretch out so they will be a little more comfortable. The ribbon wraps around the inside back of the boot so when you go to take them off, the ribbon gets in the way. But small price to pay for stylish and elegant boots. Kate Spade delivers again. Thanks, Kate, for keeping it simple and elegant. I would have given the boots five stars if it hadn't been for these two complaints.Pat N.
Fashion Goodwill Haul! I bought these sandals to use to in the steam room and the shower at the gym. They are comfortable but the grooves collect sweat and funk. I have to clean them once a week or they start to get pretty grimey.
