Kate Spade - New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of..

Hello Chickies,

I have a new love in my life - no the boy hasn't chucked me!
I have fallen head over heels for Kate Spade. Whilst I was in Florida the boy and I did a spot of shopping.
 I decided way before my holiday that I was going to treat myself to a new designer bag out there, I knew there was a Michael Kors outlet in Orlando, now I will admit that I haven't looked into Michael Kors so I didn't know what to expect, but from what I heard I wasn't excited like a kid on Christmas morning. I know a lot of people love Michael Kors so I was looking forward to seeing what all the hype was about - however as soon as I walked past Kate Spade I knew Michael Kors was a distant memory.

I have heard a few of my favourite youtubers/bloggers talking about Kate Spade, I have been admiring the collections from afar (across the pond). When I came across the Kate Spade store in the Premium Outlets in Orlando, I was in such a state of excitement I was almost inconsolable, to further my excitement there was 70 - that's right 70% off! Understandably I couldn't just buy one bag I had to buy two along with the matching bus pass holder..

Since being back I have had a sort of love affair with my bags, they are my most prized possessions, and my Kate Spades take the crown!

I have recently found out that Kate Spade can now be found in Selfridges in London, 5 minutes from where I work *cue excitement*!
I have picked out a few of my favorite items to share with you, sharing the Kate Spade love tell me what you think...

Orlando FL 2013 in Pictures

Hey Chickies,

Following my last post about my American Addictions in terms of make up (I also have an addiction to american food, theme parks, and bars), I have decided to share my holiday in snippets from my trip! I took far too many pictures, I literally took pictures of everything I could to saver the moments in every which way possible, and also so I could share the memories with my family and friends and of course you lovely chickies as well. 


I had such an amazing holiday, I would recommend Orlando to anyone who is a giant kid like me and they boy are! I am already badgering the boy to book again, I could happily go twice, three times a year for the next ten years and still be complete content with everything there!
I am going to be sharing a few of my favourite pictures from my trip - warning this post may be slightly picture heavy!
Our first day was the most magical, we went to Disney Magic Kingdom to kick start our trip, I love this photo because the first Disney character we saw was Minnie Mouse, and if you know me then you will know I am basically a real life Minnie Mouse, I love her - as you can tell by my expression on my face!




I just love Minnie Mouse!




AMAZING Wishes fireworks, our bus was picking us up at 9 so we had to dash back to Epcot so we didn't get to see the whole show but what we did see was amazing, they also had a colour magic show before where they projects scenes and images from various Disney films onto the castle
- Now that was amazing!

I was over whelmed with size of everything in America, I was amused for at least ten minutes marveling at how big this glasses of coca cola was! This was on our second day, our shopping day at Premium outlets and the Mall of Millenia and ... Walmart!
Whilst the boy was shopping practically, buying Levi jeans, Adidas trainers and all things that are typically cheaper in America then in the UK, and then there was me filling up on sweets!

  
This was all in one shopping trip, ever so slightly greedy?


We just had to get pictures in front of the famous Epcot 'golf ball' otherwise known as Spaceship earth!

Back into the Disney swing of things, we had a day at Epcot (the educational park) and Hollywood Studios (my fave!) 


The Hollywood Studios water tower, this picture holds a special place in my heart because this was taken straight after I volunteered me and the boy to be in the Backlot Tour show in front of an audience of amused Disney go-ers, little did I know that the boy would get absolutely soaked, much to my amusement however! I am kicking myself for not asking anyone to take a picture of us in the show!
Along with shows, Hollywood Studios has some on the best rides, one being the Rock N Roller coaster, it was simply amazing, I don't want to ruin it for any potential Orlando go-ers so I will leave it at that. It also has The Tower of Terror which could well be my favourite ride!


That's right - I hugged Pluto!!


Our 'adventures' in Universal were out of this world, as an avid Harry Potter fan, we a made a be line to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the rumors are true its is incredible!



In Universal we became the biggest kids of all!

After a long day around the parks.. one last stop MOES in The Simpsons land!



and what trip would be complete without a selfie?



Hope you enjoyed that little sneak peak into my trip, if you would like to know more about orlando please leave a comment! 

Until Next Time,
Jess
