KATE SPADE BEAU BAG


J. Brand jeans c/o  //  Elizabeth & James booties (similar)  //  Ray-Ban eyeglasses

Christmas came early last week when Kate Spade sent me the black and tan version of their new Beau bag! It was the perfect end to fashion week and I'm absolutely obsessed with the color combo (especially given my plans to mix black and navy all fall). I spent most of yesterday wandering around SoHo and the West Village with Amy — the weather was seriously perfect for ducking in and out of stores and having lunch (and coffee... and dinner...) outside. Fall weather, spontaneous girlfriends, and a little Kate Spade... Weekends don't get much better than that!

Camel and black (although not navy...) is a classic color pairing. You wear it perfectly!

You're WAY too lucky to get that bag (and the puppy)! I really need to find the perfect bag for me, maybe the Beau will work (in lieu of an actual "beau")!

J.Crew Question said...

May I ask what size you decided to order in the boyfriend sweater? I'm not sure if it would be best to size up for a more "boyfriend" look.

Amy Jane said...

I think I need a monogramed sweater, so cute!! Oh, and the glasses, shoes and bag... ;)

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh, I am absolutely obsessed with this outfit! I love the subtle monogram and your bag is super cute. :)

J.Crew Question — Of course! This is the S though I wish I'd ordered the XS since it's a baggier boyfriend fit to begin with. This one is just extra comfy! :) I'd order your usual size.
