kate spade new york: Things We Love Authors: by kate spade new york, foreword by Glenda Bailey, introduction by Deborah Lloyd

within the four walls of kate spade new york, personal style is applauded and cultural curiosity is encouraged. long before the days of pinboards and social sharing, the brand’s in-house creative team began amassing a collection of things we love on their website: a crayon ring, a cocktail doodle, a particularly dreamy photograph.
people began visiting and chiming in with suggestions. now, the things we love have come to life in celebration of the brand’s 20th anniversary. each of the book’s 20 chapters is filled with things we love—from the color red to a well-placed bow to a sense of humor and handwritten notes. part visual diary, part inspirational reference and sprinkled throughout with playful tips and practical advice, things we love is a beautiful compilation that visually represents the spirit of kate spade new york—a place where the colors are bold, smart design is key and fashion is fun.

This was such an amazing and fun book to read. First of all, you'll finish this book in a day, actually in less than an hour. It's everything that inspires Kate Spade and if you love fashion, you'll love this book as well. Every image made me realize why I love this designer so much. She's fun and her clothing show it as well. Looking at Kate Spade's clothing makes me feel like I'm in a candy shop filled with pink candy and cupcakes and I don't know which one to choose.

When I read the part about New York and things about New York, it brought back so many memories and reasons, the same as in the book, why I love the city. But this book isn't only about fashion, it also gives some advice that you will keep to heart. If you love fashion, go and get this book now. It's the perfect book to put you in a great mood.
