westward ho.

If KSA existed, I'd be a card-carrying member. {What's KSA? Kate Spade Anonymous, of course!} 

In the midst of the craziness of the last few weeks, I hadn't taken a moment to really give the new westward collection a good look...so when I did, I was completely enamored with this collaboration!

The geniuses at Kate Spade enlisted two very in-tune stylists, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, with both Californian sensibility and timeless fashion sense. I absolutely fell in love with these classic-looking

bags, complete with fun twists that take this collection to a whole new level...

Structured bags are all the rage this fall, so these beauties keep up with the trend, but push it 

to a whole new level of chic. Unfortunately, the pricetags may keep these bags a bit out of reach, 

but that won't keep me from admiring them from afar :) 

What brands call your name, season after season?

{Kate Spade, Milly, and Shoshanna {along with J.Crew of course!} are my favorites, year after year!}

I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday--and I'll see you back here tomorrow with another
installment in my {distance makes the heart grow fonder} series! xoxo {av}
