I've heard a faint buzz over the past few months that Kate Spade will soon launch a new lifestyle brand called Kate Spade Saturday - have you heard this too? Then recently the rumors were confirmed in Elle magazine and it's true --Ohhhh, exciting!

According to Elle, "Kate Spade is bringing a bit of weekend fun to your wardrobe and home decor with its new lifestyle brand, Kate Spade Saturday. The line will first debut in Tokyo in February and then in the U.S. for Spring 2013." This looks like Kate's hip little sister, doesn't it? Very fresh and energetic and BRIGHT! I've read in other spots around the web that the line will priced a bit lower, too. Sounds good to me.

In addition to fashion, they're also planning a home and tabletop collection. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. From the photos I've seen online, the collection is very bold, graphic and mostly primary colors like yellow, red and blue but also tons of monochromatic love mixing crisp white with bold black.

I can't wait to find out more about this collection and to finally SEE with my own eyes what all the fuss is about... What do you think based on what you've seen and heard so far? 

Speaking of Kate Spade, have you seen the shoes for Keds they are doing? Super cute and available in February. Also, do you own a copy of their new book, "Things We Love"? It just arrived from Amazon today, I'm in love with it! Check out my Instagram stream to see picks from inside.
