It’s not hard to wax lyrical about the new Kate Spade Tarrytown Betty, especially since it is just too adorable to resist. Small and perky, this grained leather beauty packs a zip pocket in the front and is gorgeously lined on the inside, befitting its SGD710 pricetag. It’s definitely not for everyone, but with a colour like that it’s bound to cheer up even the most depressed of souls. And no worries if Orange ain’t your thing, it also comes in Robin’s Egg (a very light Blue) and Dark Navy.

Or if you, like me, are trying to save some money (I can’t believe how I have not ‘shopped’ since 1 March 2009) but need a little something-something to reward yourself, why not check out these cheery flip-flops from Kate Spade instead? They are just SGD90 a pair, which definitely won’t break any banks (piggy or otherwise).
