I blog about a WHOLE LOT of stuff :)

I needed a new black bag. I’ve been looking for one that grabbed me since last winter! I don’t like shiny leather black bags – tend to look cheap to me. And I like some kind of textured leather as the smooth will just get knicked up by husky paws :)

I was just saying yesterday how I needed to look for a good black bag. Apparently, Kate Spade heard me…this morning I received the email announcing her Friends & Family sale. 30% OFF!! I immediately looked for the shoes I’ve been wanting (the Genny in Poppy) – sold out in my size :( I got sad…but then thought “Oh, check out black bags” Ding-Ding-Ding!

I found the Tarrytown Quinn in black. It’s similar in style to the red KS bag I have already and I LOVE this style. Great for work, errands, out & about, etc. Husband hates this style as he thinks too big but then always wants me to carry his crap! Not ALL bags can be cute little baby purses.

This was regularly priced at $395. On sale for $179 PLUS 30% using the Friends & Family code AND free shipping. So $136 shipped? A *steal* for such a classic bag! I’m very excited for its arrival :)

Of course once on the site, I found this one….I am drooling…I LOVE this color green. I wanted another bag from her that I saw in the KS store in Stanford Shopping Center LAST summer! But I never got it and then it sold out. And this bag is even more perfect – can visualize looking SO cute on jeans and sweater days! Sigh…30% plus free shipping is a very good deal…
