On Wednesday I stopped by kate spade’s flagship store in Soho for their launch their Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) limited edition totes. The collection consists of four totes inspired by their 2013 Members’ Favorite Resorts. This year’s 3rd Annual Member Favorites recognizes the most loved luxury resorts across nine categories. The kate spade new york Exclusively for Starwood Preferred Guest collection celebrates travel with whimsical sayings reminiscent of Starwood’s most exotic destinations around the world.

The collection features coated canvas ‘carry on’ shoulder totes with leather handles, each adorned with a custom gold-foil travel inspired charm. Perfect for people that travel a lot, myself included. The collection features punchy phrases inspired by four of the nine SPG Member Favorite categories including; Spa Indulgence, Romantic Retreat, Island Paradise, and Golf Getaway. The phrases, which were inspired by four of the SPG Member Favorites categories, appear on bold teal, red, green and hot pink totes to evoke memorable vacations: Rest & Relaxation, Par For The Course, Love Is In The Air and Paradise Island.

The bags will launched this month coinciding with kate spade new york’s 20th Anniversary “Things We Love” Travel and Adventure month. To celebrate the launch, one lucky winner will have the opportunity to travel to one of the 2013 SPG Members’ Favorite resorts. Retailing for $199, the collection will be available for purchase in kate spade new york stores and online at katespade.com. SPG members will also be surprised with the totes when and where least expected.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen never seems to disappoint, at least in my eyes, for Fall 2013 the hosted a presentation for Elizabeth and James at the rooftop at Hotel Americano. Not only were the Olsen twins there but Elizabeth was also there supporting her sisters. I was so happy to see them, it’s always exciting for me.

As usual the collection is amazing, the styling was by Catherine Newell-Hanson, I found myself pointing to every piece and wanting it right now. Perfect for the weather now right? My favorite look is the look pictured above, the Lena Jacket in black coated cotton is everything paired with the Diamond Maise Dress, Kacey black lamb leather pant, Terri Boot and Sling bag! Need all the pieces! All the pieces are nicely tailored, minimal and wearable. I so want the leather overalls too! More photos after the jump…
