Let me preface this with saying I am a big time Coachie. I loved their Madison and Kristin lines and am not a fan at all of the Legacy line. I keep hoping that Coach will revitalize Madison or come up with something new that appeals to me but from the Fall 2013 preview that does not appear to be the case. So after a 6 month non-voluntary handbag drought, I lost faith in Coach and starting looking at other brands. I finally found some bags I love with others starting with Kate Spade! I think the KS spring line knocked it out of the park and am super excited about this reveal.

So without further adieu.....

I am not usually one to do a big drawn out reveal but am overly enthusiastic I guess since it is my first Kate Spade

Love the gift box and packaging. The brown shipping box was so huge with plenty of tissue to protect the green gift box

Having all types of tech difficulties with this reveal

Had to take a pic with all the hardware protection. Coach used to do this but stopped and I cannot tell you how many bags I had arrive to me with hardware dings or just plain damaged. So this is a nice change. Though I did not like paying extra for the gift box I am glad to do it if it ensures my bag arrives undamaged

Introducing Ms. Small Sloan in Dusty Mint and Asphalt. There were so many beautiful mint bags out this year and it was a hard choice. I was looking for a green mint rather than a bluish mint and Sloan fits the bill here. If anyone is familiar with Coach I think the color is similar to their mint this year. Only I like this style better. It reminds me of the Coach Madison Sophia in shape. And love the details!

I first bought her on the Sale page, then KS had the F&F coupon. Customer service gave me a price adjustment since I just bought it and I want to say she was around $200 when all is said and done

Like that it has the fuchsia around the zipper



This one was only 25% off with F&F. Have a feeling I am going to kick myself because it will probably be marked down lower. But after a long handbag drought I was anxious to add to my spring collection

Love this cute lining!



And check this out....A day after I bought the bag I found this shirt by accident. I was not looking to buy a matching shirt figuring I would just wear this with solid colors I have that coordinate. But look how much it goes, do you think it looks tacky or too much?

Well that is the end of my reveal. Hope you enjoyed looking at this great eye candy. I cannot wait to wear these. I think I am on a Kate Spade buying jag because I have another one coming from ebay and yet a 4th I am contemplating. Was dry for 6 months and now going crazy....somebody stop me!!! Oh yeah...I forgot that I came to the wrong place for an handbag intervention :smile1:

Gorgeous!! Both are so pretty! Love the shape of the Sloan. The Maise is darling and so perfect for this spr/sum. Congrats! I'm anxiously awaiting for my KS delivery in 3 days!

I am so in love with the small sloan.. I resisted buying it during the F&F sale and now i'm kicking myself after seeing your reveal!! Especially with the adorable polka dot lining- i'm such a sucker for polka dots, double so for gold ones!

Do you have the Mint Coach bag in your avatar....I really think the color is very similar. But yes I love it! Doesn't it remind you of Sophia?
