Dagne Dover Event

Was such a pleasure to work with talented ladies from Dagne Dover this past weekend! I was at their pop-up shop hand-painting bags for their customers. This was such a fun event & so fun for everyone that popped in. A few people weren't sure at first about a painted handbag, and then when they saw them in person they were convinced to get one! I left with my all-white mini-tote, but my mom snagged it when I showed it to her that evening. I couldn't say no!

Speaking of bags, these bags are some of the nicest work bags I've seen. Before I work with a brand I have to really love the product and know that I would absolutely use it myself. When I first received my bag from Dagne Dover, I was super impressed. The beauty of the bag flowed from the inside-out. The inside has many (well thought out) compartments, even one for your umbrella! But can also be used for shoes & water bottles! The zipper is a gorgeous chunky gold on most of the bags, which I love! A bag with a cheap looking zipper is a huge turn-off, but these do NOT disappoint there!  The tote bags come in a variety of sizes like:

The 15 inch Tote :  the ultimate day-to-night carryall, made with highly functional compartments to keep specific items in place. Stylish and spacious. I own this one in black & can carry my new gold 11" macbook. Made with a canvas material almost identical to the Louis Vuitton bags.

The 13" Tote :  It's made for 7am-10pm lifestyle, with the same clever compartments but a slightly a slimmer shape and fold-down handles for tighter situations.

The Mini-Tote This small-bodied model is designed for speedy days-about-town that call for more than a purse but less than a full-size carryall. Fully-equipped with a 10.5” tablet sleeve, pen loops, a water bottle holder, and an array of convenient compartments for wallets, phones, cards and more! Since I don't tend to carry a lot, this is my favorite size!

The Tiny Tote:  For day-to-night dressing, our smallest tote is your smartest choice. This miniature version of our classic style features the same stashable compartments with a stylish size to take you well into the evening. In addition to a separate 3-pocket card case, it includes a secure zip pocket, magnetic-close pocket for a phone or your card case, and pen loops. Detachable cross-body strap frees up your hands!





I highly recommend these bags if you're a working girl, or a busy entrepreneur. These bags are well designed and well thought out....I can't highlight this enough.  They are much prettier in person too!
You can buy yours directly from Dagne Dover.

My visit to Kate Spade Madison Ave.

Visited the Kate Spade store on Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side last week & woahhh.
It's about 4-5 floors full of hot pink & gold goodness! It was Kate Spade heaven - so pretty & well put together - I didn't want to leave. The minute I walked in,  I was greeted by the gal near the doorway & then by the neon signs spelling out in various colors, "Why hello there" & "Fancy meeting you here" - an interesting welcome don't you think? The detailing is genius as usual with the Kate Spade brand, from the clothes hangers, to the bow tie bathroom tiles!

This town home on Madison Avenue appears to have previously been a residence, because it even has a patio balcony with windows facing the outside street! My visit was very pleasant, I even ran into the manager who recognized me from my blog, SO cute!  What item did I like best?? I'd say the Live Colorfully Eau Da Parfum, it is now on my wishlist. Smells so good! You must stop by!

You can also check out my first in-depth post about Kate Spade in Soho back in 2011 here. It's super cute!

Bits Of My Week





Love this pink studded tank I bought at Zara.









My husband launched a food blog called "Made For Jen" - I thought it was so sweet! So many of you had asked about his recipes & the food he makes for me, well you can see most of it here


He'll be trying to update it 3x week with posts from our home meals to places we go to eat here in the city!



 








Below is one of the recipes for 'Watermelon Agua Fresca'. My husband didn't make it up, but he can surely tell you how to make your own here on his blog.
