 It's been a while since I've done a handbag review, so I thought I would do a video on the newest Kate Spade handbag that I picked up. If you're new here, Kate Spade is my all-time favorite handbag brand, and I am a handbag girl on a budget. I love purchasing contemporary handbags at a good deal, and I like to share with you guys some of my favorite styles. I am mostly a makeup channel, 95% of my posts are involved with makeup, but I do like to spice it up since I do post almost every single day with a handbag video every now and then. And today I'm going to be showing you my newest handbag in my collection and my thoughts so far. I have been eyeing this bag for a long time, probably for over a year, and I've been waiting for it to go on a discount, and a couple weeks ago it did go on sale on Kate Spade Surprise for the first time. So this is one of the Love Shack bags, and these have been out for a couple years, and they were very, very trendy. I don't think they're as trendy now, which is why these are on sale, but it does have ever because I'm still very excited about these. This is a classic novelty Kate Spade bag. Now I got mine in the Wicker, so I think they are getting rid of them because these did go on sale for the Kate Spade deal of the day, and a lot of the styles that were on there are no longer on there, so this wicker style is not on there any longer, but they do have a couple different styles and patterns. A couple are $99 right now, and then the one that I think is the cutest is a chalk pink. This one is $179, and I've been keeping an eye out for these heart bags because they have been over $200 consistently, so the second that they were on a deal of the day. I snatched them up real quick and shared with you guys as well, and I'm very happy. I ended up with the wicker pattern, though it's very seasonal. This is the one that I love the most. It kind of looks like a lunchbox. So this style, while I'll talk about it, it is not what's available on the website, so I won't go into too much detail about that, but for a while, the heart shape bag was very, very trendy. Coach has one that's even more popular. That one keeps selling out, so if it's available right now, I will link it down below. I'm a Kate Spade girl, and this one just seems really classically Kate Spade, which is why I wanted it. It's a novelty bag. It's probably not going to go with everything that I wear, but I wear a lot of feminine dresses, maxi dresses, summery type of clothes, so this one will definitely be matching that style, and it is off-season, so that's why these also did go on sale, so I will probably get more use out of this next year. I'm still very, very excited about it. So here is what it looks like. It is a top-handle bag, and like I said, I did get the Wicker style, but they do have some Sofiano PVC in the other bags available online. It does come with a removable crossbody with this silver-goldish hardware that Kate Spade has, though right now it's looking very silver to me. So the Wicker is in the front and the back, and then we have that Sofiano material here in the middle, and then we have a metal pin mount Kate Spade logo right here. The con I will say with this crossbody strap, first of all, I love the length of it, and you'll see that when we get into the wearing demo, but because I am so small, I don't know if you can see this. When I do put it at the shortest length, this kind of hangs off, but you can see all of the different holes for the length that we have here, and then you just attach the crossbody strap on these d-hooks attached to the bag, and then the zipper is going to go along this side. It's not across the whole way, but you'll see how much space we have of not zipper. Pretty smooth zip, not amazing, but it is in odd shape. Now it doesn't open up to as wide as I would like. I would have preferred, instead of fabric right here, that they do a stretchier kind of elastic material. It still opens enough to kind of slide your things in, but you definitely can't pack it full. The inside has the Kate Spade fabric, Kate Spade right here, with two card holders. I don't know if you can see that, but that's the inside. You can't get the mouth to open very wide. That to me is a con, however, it's very easy to just slip your items in. Now with its weird shape, I have the largest iPhone size. If I just pop it straight in, my iPhone will stick out. If I turn it to the side, it does fit. There's enough space for a few more items. It's not going to hold your whole life, but it's enough for a day outing. You know, it holds a small wallet. It will hold any, I don't know, a mini fan that you need, a little mirror, lip gloss. There are things that it will be able to hold, but it's not the most spacious bag, and it is a little disappointing that it doesn't stretch out a little bit more. I feel like something stretchier here would have allowed for a larger mouth. So I'm putting the product details that are on the website right here. It has all of the dimensions of the bag, you'll see it has a two and a half inch handle drop, a strap drop of 22 inches, and then you can see the dimensions are a little odd because it is a heart shape, but the dimensions don't have stretch because of the materials. Those are definitely the true dimensions. This material of the bag has no stretch. You can't just stretch it to try and fit a few more items in, and because this is from the Kate Spade Surprise website, it won't come with a dust bag, which is a little disappointing. I love that luxury experience, but you get what you pay for when you go through the outlet website. So I'm just going to do a little close-up for you in case you want a closer detailed look at the bag. I think it is gorgeous. It is a true novelty bag. It's not super eye-fashion or anything, but if you have a specific style, I think this is going to go with a lot. Just think of summer and summer dresses. This is going to be perfect. And this is a bag that I wanted for a very long time. I thought it was adorable. I thought it was very, very Kate Spade. So I'm excited. I was able to get it at a discount. I believe I paid around $130 for this bag, and that's really good because it had been sitting at over $200 for a few months. I'm going to send you over so that you can see how this looks on me while I'm wearing it. So here is the bag on. I have the leather strap on the shortest setting, and for all my short girls, I am only like $410, $411 around that range. This to me is the perfect length, so I'm so excited. I definitely will probably reuse this white leather strap for other bags because of how short it goes, which is really lovely. And it does extend longer if you need a longer size, but I love the length that it sits at. I think it's adorable, and the straps are removable, so you can hold it just by the top handle or you can replace it with a different strap that you prefer. And I just think it's so cute. I mean, it definitely is very novelty, but this obviously I didn't really style it the best, but this would be so cute styled with a really girly, like maxi dress, anything like that. Perfect for summer, honestly. And here is how the handle is. Just using it. Let's see. I mean, I have a very petite wrist, so that's as far as I can get it. But you're definitely, I don't know, unless you have a very, very thin arm, you're not going to be able to put this on the shoulder. So you can hold it top handle, but I really, really like the length of the cross body. I think it's very, very cute. Adorable. I do suspect that they will come out with this bag in more colors. I find that with the Kate Spade surprise, whatever they put on the deal of the days, seasonally they will add new colors. And since for a while this was such a popular bag, I don't see them giving it up just yet. It is already on their outlet website. So I think it will hold on to life a little longer because of that. But if you do want this bag, it looks like it comes in four different colors and a couple patterns. And then the patterns you can get for under $100. I suspect if you keep an eye out, as seasons change, that they will add more colors and patterns and materials. So definitely keep an eye out for that. If Coach's heart bag is available, I will link that down below. But if you do not have a heart bag, I think they are adorable and I'm really excited about this newest bag. Now come December-ish when we do Vlogmas. I still haven't decided if I'm going to do Vlogmas or not 100%. But I definitely will be uploading more. I am actually going to come back and review bags that I picked up many, many months ago. So I've been wearing my Mark Jacobs tote bag a lot. Obviously, I've had it for months. My YSL College Medium bag. So I will be coming back to give after months of use updates about the new handbags that I purchased in the last year. I don't know that this one will be up during the holidays because it will not have been long enough. I probably won't do an update on this until next year or something because this is going to be more of a summer bag for me and we are getting into winter and I know I live in Florida. But I do plan to dress a little bit more seasonally because I do love the fall and winter.
