Yesterday I shared a seriously cool tomboy inspired collection (J.Crew's lineup for Fall/Winter 2014) but today I'm loving looks from the opposite end of the spectrum! Kate Spade's creative director, Deborah Lloyd, brought it home for all of my girly sisters with her newest crop of must-haves... Bountiful shades of blush, ladylike layers and enough bows, sequins & feathers to fill my dream craft closet dominated this collection (with a few jewel tones mixed in for fun). Where J.Crew was a free-form, mix-n-match ordeal, Kate Spade is polished, proper and perfect for the woman who has got it all figured out... and is late for tea.

Which collection are you loving?

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, can you believe it? 2014 is definitely flying by and this particular holiday (no matter how many times I penciled it in on various calendars) kind of sneaked up on me. Since Mr. Jackson grabbed his keys and whizzed past in a mad dash to make it to a few shops yesterday, it's probably safe to assume that there a few of you (or a few of your hunnies) who have yet to find the perfect trinket for Friday. Fear not, a browser strategically left open to this little wishlist will calm all of your qualms... you're welcome!

January is a month of new beginnings. Resolutions are permeating the air (or is that the below freezing temps?) and I'm totally pumped to take on the new year. With the holidays in our rear view mirror and 2014 still ahead, there are quite a few things I'm looking forward to. kate spade agenda, gucci jacket, love and lemons coconut curry pumpkin soup
