..in the form of a handbag. I know I've got some serious catching up to do, and I promise to do that, but an email I received today prompted me to interrupt your regularly scheduled blog readings.. The email was entitled, "Introducing the Multitasker." Anyone who knows me understands that this totally speaks to me, especially because the email was from my good friend Kate Spade. So naturally, I clicked in to find my newest love affair, crafted of Italian goathide and fourteen karat gold. While the name piqued my interest, it was a little unorthodox.. Traditionally bags are named after girls, not adjectives that describe us. Much to my pleasure, when viewing the bag fully, via the Kate Spade website, I was officially reintroduced to "Five Points Camille." Music to my ears, and my eyes.. From Kate's mouth to God's ears; "bright, bold and passionate were the personalities that charged new york city's five points neighborhood during its heyday in the early 1900s, and this bag's vintage-inspired aesthetic harkens back to that exalted age. Generously proportioned to fit your everyday essentials, with room aplenty for a bottle of pink lemonade and a read for the train. A removable strap can be worn cross-body to keep hands free." With 14 karat gold-plated hardware and feet, silk interior, and a 10.8" by 13.2" body.. ie: perfect for a MacBook, a day planner and a handful of highlighters.
And at $475, it's simply the cost of half a semester's bookstore bill.. Maybe I'll buy my books used online in the worst condition I can find, and save enough to splurge.. How great would it be to spend my semester with Camille? Plus she's mature enough to bring to court someday when I'm all done with this thing called law school. Comes in antique bronze, beyond-fantastic tangerine, and my personal favorite, graphite (pictured).. We all know I love the look of grey tones and gold hardware. Love.
