OOTD for Kate Spade Summer Fete!

{ Making floral arrangements at the Kate Spade Summer Fete }

To celebrate The RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the lovely ladies at Kate Spade threw a Summer Fete yesterday afternoon at their Sloane Square store. Kate Spade is one of those brands that you can find your self falling in love with pretty quickly – even the staff at their sample sale were super glossy, smiling and friendly – and sample sale regulars will know how rare this is! So it was no surprise to be greeted by the glamorous ladies at the event as though we were long lost friends, and I had barely stepped foot in the store before I had a Pińa Colada in one hand, and a mango sorbet mini ice-cream in the other!

Many stores in Chelsea are decorating their windows with glamorous floral displays, for the Chelsea in Bloom, Chelsea Flower Show this week, and Kate Spade is no exception, with a lush, glamazonian explosion of foliage, with a larger than life Toucan bird nestled in the centre – designed by Wild at Heart. The bird, which originates from South America, is the symbol for Kate Spade’s competition to win a trip to Rio, which you can enter by clicking here. This season, Kate Spade is all about travel, taking the colourful products across the globe, and if you search #travelcolorfully on Instagram, you”ll see some fabulous entries to the competition.

Wild at Heart had set up a flower crafting workshop in the store, and guests were invited to make either a floral hair slide (below) or a floral arrangement using the lovely fresh flowers. I was too busy playing with the pretty designs to snap my own, but here is one example from the Kate Spade NY Instagram:

We were also treated to some scrumptious treats, including Chocolate Ganache and Coconut Macarons, and Blackcurrent and Mango Sorbet Icecreams. 

Here’s what I wore to the event!

My new fave Kate Spade bag, with a Reiss leather skirt, and Warehouse silk top. I also took along my Massimo Dutti jacket, but it was so warm that I ended up carrying it all day! Press days in the morning meant I had to wear flats, so I chose these embellished sandals from Kurt Geiger.

So thank you to the beautiful girls at Kate Spade, and Starworks for hosting such a fabulous event!
