Being a fan of “Kate Spade New York” is something that has come with age and experience. Her sophisticated lady like aesthetic, appeals to those who like your classic all american tailored looks with a touch of fun and sparkle in the mix. Her clothing allows for casual lunch dates to corporate office savvy looks all with great detail, color and of course quality. From graphic prints and the classic hallmarks (three-leaf clover and quirky quotes like “live colorfully”) Kate Spade New York expands in categories like clothing, jewelry, shoes, eyewear, bedding, gifts, stationary etc. Kate Brosnahan Spade set out to first design the perfect handbag and has now broadened into the power house company it is today in just 18 years! Both Gwen and I love this brand and can only wish to own more pieces! Along with my phone, iPad cases and wallet check out my previous way I styled my classic nude chain link Kate Spade purse. Their new collection “21 days in Monaco” features neutrals with pops of red and fun bright patterns. Featured on the site is also the official Kate Spade New York blog in which each column offers differing insight, tutorials and even tips from their brand stylist Brad Goreski (former Rachel Zoe associate). I love everything this classic brand represents and the beautiful products that allow me to transition from a quirky adolescent to a young flourishing lady who doesnt have to give up that special quality she loves in an outfit. Here are some items on my current wish list….oh to dream!

Hey Everyone! I am back with a haul/review of a few things I picked up from BH Cosmetics. Many youtube beauty vloggers rave about this cosmetic and makeup tools line so I had to give them a try for myself. First and foremost I will say that they are super duper affordable and often have sales and coupon codes, (no breaking the bank here). The only downside is you can only purchase these products online, making it a bit difficult to be able to swatch colors. Luckily for you, I did just that!

Acrylic makeup organizer. I wanted this to organize the lipsticks that I wear the most often as well as place my foundation and bb/cc creams on top.

Glamorous blush palette has 10 gorgeous shades of blushes ranging from a bit of sheen to matte.

I chose 4 colors to swatch. As you can see they are pretty much true to the shade in the palette. They apply a bit more sheer, so building on the color is recommended.

Pop art brush set caught my eye because of the fun colored handles. They are synthetic and soft to the touch. Big plus is that they DO NOT shed!

I’ve been loving the angled blush brush and this sort of dense tapered one (yellow handle) to add highlight to my upper cheek bones.

Eyes on the 60’s is the name of this eyeshadow palette and I fell in love with the huge variety of colors it has.

I again chose 4 colors to swatch for you and as you can see they have a lot of pigment to them. Note: to further intensify color you can always add Mac fix plus or believe it or not eyedrops, just dip your eyeshadow brush in whichever solution you choose pick up some product add to your lids and boom! flawless color

And there you have it! I bought these 4 items and still managed to spend under $50 including shipping fees. Talk about a sweet deal! ( They had a 40% off deal going on a few weeks ago)

Below you will find the direct links to each of the products listen on this post. They also have others to choose from.

Happy shopping everyone!
