Oh my word! I was invited to a sneak peek of the new Kate Spade store on the Upper East Side. I’ve been to every Kate Spade store in NYC (ugh, so guilty here), but this one knocks the socks off of all the other ones.
Every single detail was thought through. If you’re planning on going, you must carve out a bunch of time to go through the entire store. Nooks and crannies are filled with just the most perfect touches that are oh so Kate Spade.
Hugo Guinness prints, old records, confetti… the works!
My favorite part? Every single everything has the perfect little bows everywhere. Even the floors! Oh, and this is not just any bow… the signature Kate Spade bow.
Warning, this post is going to be pretty photo intensive. I tried to choose the top pictures, but I was having a hard time to eliminate any! My poor iPhone memory is pretty much filled the max with pictures from the store.
Each dressing room is perfectly styled. The mirrors even have little messages!!! I was loving the bow wallpaper and the book covers!
The whole store has “Cha Cha Cha” record covers everywhere. I love these in particular because my monogram is “CHA”… so yeah. Cha. Cha. Cha. Oh and those shoes with the neon accents? I NEED. Maybe two is excessive…. should I go with the Ibe Heel or the Lou Heel?
Luckily the store is right in my neighborhood… I will be there every weekend. You can count on that.

ah!! so lovely 🙂 the only kate spade store i've been to was in asia but i covet everything on their site pretty regularly! so jealous you got to visit 🙂
Oh my goodness this store is so much cuter than the Kate Spade I go to. The bow details are definitely the best! I saw your picture on instagram, and the bow pillow was the first thing to catch my attention. The Kate Spade bow is truly the best bow 🙂
📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻
