Tuesday Already + Kate Spade

Happy Tuesday! Whenever there is a holiday on a Monday, I get a little bit off track. Imagine my surprise when realized that it's already Tuesday. After an incredibly mild winter, it looks like we'll be getting hit with some substantial snowfall this weekend. It's so cold...even the walls of my house are cold. Some school districts announced a delayed opening, but my school is open and on time.

I'm keeping warm with a cozy sweater dress, thick fleece lined leggings, and a plaid blanket scarf from Zara that I picked up on a trip to Barcelona last year.

This weekend, John and I participated in a fun Murder Mystery Dinner. I spotted the deal on Living Social and thought that it would be an entertaining and unique activity. We sat with others at a table for 10 and worked as a team to solve the mystery. Audience members took roles in the plot of the story and we interrogated suspects. It enjoyed it so much! I'm happy to tell you that our team correctly solved the crime, too! Although the food at the restaurant hardly rated as fine cuisine, it was perfectly acceptable for the event. Whenever I go to a dinner theater or show, I'm going for the main event, not the food. I highly recommend this activity; it would be especially fun with a group.

During cold winter months, I tend to focus on purchases for the home instead of clothing. Luckily for me (and unluckily for my wallet) Kate Spade recently launched many new additions to their home and decor collection, including dozens of items for the kitchen. Prices for the items start at only $10, so these make extraordinary hostess gifts. Here are a few of my favorites:

Appetizer Plate Set  /  Deco Dot Tea Kettle  /  Square Baking Pan

3 Piece Pancake Set  /  Bow Trivet  /  Apron
