Kate Spade Light-Up Bag, Ruffles & Stripes

Holiday spirit galore! At this time of the year, City Center DC is always extra festive with its gorgeous holiday installations (designed by Swatchroom with one of my all-time fav DC talent, Maggie O’neill). On my recent visit, I’m feeling extra festive with my new amazing light-up Constellation bag from Kate Spade, with little LEDs that light up with the touch of a button! It’s been a conversation starter wherever it goes, and the genius design even has a battery indicator and USB charger. This will surely be the most delightful gift for a special someone!

I wish you could see these lights in action – they have the most gentle winkle! After turning them on about 100000 times, I’m still mesmerized every time 🙂

If you are a veteran visitor to my blog, you know how much I love the bold pattern of striped pants – these Marques Almeida pair has a great fit, and a luxurious fabric that makes me not want to take them off. The soft ruffles of this yellow Self Portrait top compliments the bold stripes well, and layering with a high-neck blouse makes this top appropriate for the warm winter days we’ve been having.
