Kate Spade opened its new flagship store on the Upper East Side last Friday.  On Monday, I took advantage of a rare day off from work and toured this Madison Avenue jewel box of a store.  I enjoyed exploring the four floors of colorful merchandise and snapping photos on my iPhone.

I tried on this fabulous bow blouse, the first of many Kate Spade Madison Avenue store exclusives to come, but unfortunately it didn’t fit me correctly.  I’ve found other Kate Spade items to be ill-fitting, so I’m always pleased when a Kate Spade piece that I love works out.

I love the black trimmed roman shades.  Chic!

A cash register is accompanied by a delightful bar set up.

 
Excuse the poor photo.  My dream home won’t be complete now without these tiles arranged like a bow.
 

 

So not only did I find the colorful merchandise inspiring, but I also felt inspired by the store’s interior design and location.  Pedro, one of the lovely sales associates, shared the view from the store’s pink hydrangea decorated balcony overlooking Madison Avenue.  We both remarked that, “It doesn’t get much better than this.”

I loved my tour of Kate Spade and look forward to returning.  Special thanks to Pedro and the other sales associates who were extra welcoming!
