It’s been a really interesting January for retail. First C.Wonder, then Piperlime, and now Kate Spade Saturday is now one of my latest beloved brands to shutter. I’m pretty shocked and upset at this announcement, not gonna lie! I haven’t even gotten a chance to check out their store in Georgetown yet, but I’ll definitely need to stop by and see if I can snag a deal or two.
In the meantime, you’ll still be able to shop online for a while (thank goodness!) Saturday will be “absorbed” into Kate Spade’s regular line, but we’ll have to say goodbye to those fabulous lower prices. My favorite item has to be these New Balance sneakers. I would totally get back into my gym routine if I had those bad boys…
![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Those are great sneakers. Wonder why so many retail companies are closing when others are doing really well. Hopefully all those retail workers will be able to get jobs elsewhere in the company or some sort of severance package. Tough time to be in retail right now. Good time to snag deals on clothes though.
That striped purse is adorable!
