Kate Spade New York: All In Good Taste Book Review

While during a recent clean out and organization of my things, I came across some books I wanted to write review posts for. One of those books is All In Good Taste by Kate Spade New York.

The book, which was published in 2015, is by the fashion and lifestyle brand, Kate Spade New York. I’m a fan of Kate Spade New York and really love shopping the brand. At the time I purchased this book, I wanted to own some of the books by Kate Spade New York. I decided to pick All In Good Taste first because it is about the do’s and don’ts of entertaining.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Women’s Clothing

Well, it’s time for my last favorites post from the Kate Spade New York x Target collection! As anyone that browsed the collection knows it is a large and diverse collection. For this post, I decided to focus on the last category of the collection I liked: Women’s clothing.

I like Kate Spade’s clothing and have purchased pieces on sale. I like the clothing, but sometimes they don’t fit me or cost quite a lot. (Thus why I like to look for the clothing on sale) This is why I was really excited to see what the Target collection has.

I like quite a lot of the clothing, but this collection does not have any of the clothing styles I’m currently looking for. Despite this, I am interested in the graphic design shirts, ruched linen tank tops, and a skirt I forgot to include in this post.

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

All the photos in this post are originally from the media pack available for free on Target’s website. I edited them for this post.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Party Supplies

As a fan of the fashion brand Kate Spade New York, I associate certain things with their products. One of them is how well made and stylish their handbags are. Another is there will be polka dots. And yet another their whimsical and sometimes funny designs.

When Target announced their collaboration with Kate Spade New York, I wondered how the collection would include what I associate with the brand: Their whimsical designs. Although I found many products in the collection that I see as Kate Spade whimsy-like designs, I liked the way the party supplies look the best.

For this post, picking my favorites were easy. Some of my most favorite party supplies are the Make a Wish candles, Hip Hip Hurray headbands, and the 2 count round boxes. Although these are many products featured in this post, I decided to include products I laugh at, but probably will not be buying. The most prominent one is the 4 piece mylar balloon headbands. They look cute and I think they are funny, but I don’t think I will ever use them!

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Homewares

While browsing the new Kate Spade New York x Target collection, I discovered a lot of things I liked in the homewares section of the collection. Since the collection is so large, I was not surprised I would find things I liked in every category. What surprised me is that I liked the homewares more than the other categories! Stand out products are the vinyl record player, the tent, and umbrellas.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Food

When I found out about the Kate Spade New York x Target collection, I was very surprised by the large amount of items in the collection. Out of all the items in the collection, the items that surprised me was the food.

Although I’ve been a fan of the Kate Spade brand, I never thought about including food in the Target collaboration. Since the food was such a surprise to me, I decided to browse the food and see if there were any food items I liked.

I assumed if there was food in the collection, there would be a lot of drink options. (Kate Spade New York has a lot of references to alcoholic drinks such as martinis, champagne, ect. in their products) Especially alcohol drinks or mixes for alcoholic drinks. Although there are mixes in the collection, they could be used for non alcoholic drinks. Instead, there are a lot of snacks.

When I went through the food options in this collection, I picked my favorite foods based off what I would actually like to eat. I have food allergies that show up in many ready-made foods, but I did not take that into consideration when I picked my favorite foods in the collection. Even though I cannot eat everything on this list, I am happy to see the ingredients listed on Target’s website. This made it easy for me to decide if there are food items I can eat or cannot.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection In Store Exclusives

Last week, I received an email from Target announcing their new collaboration with Kate Spade New York. The collection will be released on April 12, 3 EST online. The collection is described on Target’s website as…

I was really excited to see this. I really like Kate Spade New York and wished Target would do a collaboration with them for many years. Although I love their products, I don’t always like the price. Since they can be out of my price range, I always hoped for a Target collaboration in order to purchase more price friendly items. To see this collaboration come true makes me very happy!

That being said, I have a lot of thoughts about the collection. It is a really large collection, so I decided to talk about my thoughts in future posts dedicated to specific things in the collection.

For my first post about the collection, I wanted to talk about the in-store exclusive items.

Ulta Beauty Haul- Late November 2024 Part 2

In late November 2024, I went shopping at Ulta Beauty for the third time that month. It was also the last time that year.

During this shopping trip, I went to find a shower brush. I already went shopping for a brush earlier in the month, but bought an exfoliating brush that is meant to be used dry instead. So, I went shopping again to find the shower brush I actually wanted to buy but didn’t. While there, I decided to buy two perfume sets as well. One is a set with a perfume I wanted for a few years, but never purchased. The other is a gift set with two mini versions of fragrances.

Kate Spade New York Live Colorfully Fragrance Review

I purchased a bottle of Kate Spade New York’s fragrance, Live Colorfully, years ago. I also mentioned purchasing it in a post years ago! After a mass cleanup, clean out, and organization of my things, I discovered the bottle I purchased years ago.

Even though I was happy to see it again, I quickly realized why it got buried under other things. When I purchased it, I wanted to write a post about it. After using the fragrance, I didn’t like it. Yet, I kept my bottle and never wrote a review post about it because I knew it would be negative. After years of owning it, I decided to finally write and publish a review post about Live Colorfully, even though it would be a negative review.

Fragrances I’m Interested in Purchasing- April 2023

It’s spring time and, even though it’s not the beginning of the year, it is always the time when I start to look for new fragrances to buy.

This year, I found many new fragrances, and some past released fragrances, I want to add to my fragrance collection. It has been a year since I wrote a post about which new fragrances I want to purchase, so I decided to write a new and updated post for this year.
