We love designers, and we love sales. And we love it best of all when the two worlds collide, giving us access to amazing items at (more) affordable prices. We just got word about the Kate Spade private sale, and if you love her crisp, modern-preppy styles, you want get over there right away!

You'll find a selection of handbags, shoes and accessories all on sale, sometimes at less than half the original price.

The great thing about Kate Spade is that her approach is so timeless. Every season looks great, even years later.

In fact, we believe it's cooler to have an item that's a few years old, so you can say, "Oh, sure, I made the investment in this wallet/bag/pair of shoes, and it really paid off. Five years, and everything still looks new!"

Quality is always in style -- but we still like it best when we get it on sale!
