With two active boys I will revel in any girly moment I can get, which these days seem far and in between. When I get the chance I love to curl up on my coach with Spotify playing my fave songs in the background and either my coffee or a glass of white wine nearby while I flip through the fashionable pages of People Style Watch or Glamour Magazine. My magazines and Instagram feed are my sources for keeping up with the latest stylish trends, seeing as I don't have the time to window shop. One of my faves to follow has always been Kate Spade NY which is a timeless brand with bold, chic yet playful looks and accessories girls of every age will covet.
With that said, I'm sure you'll understand why I was BEYOND excited to get extended an invite along with my fellow NYC lifestyle & mom bloggers for a day of VIP treatment at The Kate Spade store on 789 Madison ave. It was a gorgeous Saturday that finally felt like Spring and we chatted, sipped champagne & enjoyed bite size cupcakes after touring the 4 floors of fabulous finds.

I usually avoid stepping into a fitting room like the plague but that afternoon I was on a mission! A few of the ladies were initially hesitant about trying on outfits in fear of getting too attached to their new finds.I knew I wasn't walking out the door until I tried on my favorite two items from the Madison Ave collection and got snapped in a few good pictures. I had always wondered if I could pull off a crop top and shorts because I'm not too keen on showing off my Crohn's disease surgery scars or stretch marks and c-section scar from childbirth. But surprisingly I felt confident and comfortable in the Madison ave 2 piece (that was the perfect length) and the girls all seemed to enjoy posing for the camera.

I must give a special thank you to Kate Spade for having us, Evelyn of IndiaLynRose who coordinated the event, to Jonathan Castellanos our photographer for the day and to Vive Mejor (provided the Dove products), Carmex and Chantilly Dallas for the lovely swag bag goodies.
Honestly this was so much fun and just out of the norm for me, I think I speak for all of us in attendance by saying it was a great way to spend a Saturday. Who doesn't love playing dress up with friends? Which of these fun, fashionable looks and accessories are you loving?
