kate spade jewelry

welcome back to your blog, ariane.

just quickly, let's address how about 67% of audrey onassis is kate spade. the other 33% is probably cats. i'm so predictable.

the other day, i had the good fortune of being inside kate spade, one of my favorite stores in the world. i am charmed to no end each time i enter one. the floor of the one that i visited in nyc a few months ago was covered in fake grass, for pete's sake. i think they must decorate this way to distract people from the price tags, or something. :)

anyway, as i was browsing my way through, i made my way over to the jewelry display {read: the only area where i have even the slightest of chances of being able to make a purchase.}

you guys, almost everything on the table was begging for me to take it home. my will must be iron-clad, though, because i left empty-handed. so i have to put these pieces here on the blog, so they feel at least a little more mine.

this bangle is even more gorgeous in person. it was a little easier for me to pass this one up, since it was a bit too big for my unfortunately small wrists, but it still stung a bit to say goodbye to all the pretty colors.

{signature spade studs, $38}

 these are so stinkin' dainty & precious. i love understated earrings like this, probably because most of my earrings are a bit on the bold side. i may end up ordering these off the website some afternoon when i could use a little pick-me-up.

none of the other pieces i was coveting are online (think: zebra print bangle with a thin-wrist-defying clasp & the most adorable tiny gold ring you've ever laid eyes on), but i wouldn't kick these shoes out of bed. ;)
