I'm home from work today because I had to take my mom to the doctor's this morning. All is well and good, she just had to have a little routine procedure done.

Because of that, I switched up the editorial calendar a bit and what was supposed to be posted today will now be posted next week.

I didn't know what I wanted to write about because I have a lot of ideas but have been so scattered lately. I'm also fleshing out my entire October calendar so I wanted to save a few ideas for that.

So I figured I'd do a little random post...



If you didn't know, a few months ago I finally started to upload videos on my Youtube channel. I struggled at first with how to spilt content between the blog and Youtube but I think I've got it down pat, especially when I can make a blog post out of a video!

I don't post as consistently on the Youtube channel as I do here because filming and editing videos is a lot harder for me than writing a blog post. That being said, I am trying to amp it up a little bit and have at least a few ideas for more videos this month.

Last week I posted a video all about my Kate Spade accessories collection. Earlier I had posted a Kate Spade handbag collection and it has over 4K views (OMG) so I figured I'd see if lightning could strike twice and posted the accessories counterpart video.

Below is the video so take a watch & let me know what you think:



Also, below you can shop all my accessories (and a few wish list items)!

My love of Kate Spade grows every single day. Sometimes I don't even have the intention of buying anything but I'll log onto their website and just stare at all the pretty items. I look at their Instagram for constant inspiration and to soothe any troubles I have.

Kate Spade is the ultimate chic, girly brand. They're quirky, fun, fancy, carefree, but somehow still serious. They provide outlandish designs like putting camels & elephants on bags and phone cases, but somehow still remain down to earth and give alternative fun items to ladies who maybe don't like to step outside the box as much.

I own a ridiculous amount of Kate Spade items, from necklaces to wallets to sunglasses and jewelry trays. I will buy anything Kate Spade sells me because it makes me so incredibly happy and makes me feel so inspired whenever I wear something by her.

I recently listened to the "How I Built This" NPR podcast with Kate and Andy Spade and realized that Ms. Spade doesn't own any part of the company right now, and if you're up on business talk you'll know that Kate Spade & Co is looking to sell their company to make some more money -- I'm hoping that designs and quality stay the same after this huge move.

Kate Spade is my dream company in so many ways, and I recently went on a bit of a binge at Nordstrom with them. I am addicted to their New Arrivals and Nordstrom always has some different items from the Kate Spade website so it's nice to see what's exclusive to my favorite department store ever.

A few weeks ago, before their March collection was released, I came across a few new Kate Spade items on Nordstrom and truly fell in love. I didn't need any of these items but I couldn't let them go. I also did not impulse purchase these; I let them sit in my cart for a few days and couldn't stop thinking about them so I finally pulled the plug.

These are just little accessories that I fell in love with because I actually cannot get enough of Kate Spade accessories -- I think I like them more than the bags!

The bracelet was a Christmas gift from my Big
