When I was in college at UGA and didn’t have a lot of money, I always envied the southern girls with Kate Spade bags in my sorority. I saw it as a sign of affluence, and as I’ve gotten older that brand has still held a certain something for me. Even as I’ve been able to afford such things to a certain degree, I’ve gravitated to other brands and never taken the leap with Kate. Not sure why, but buying those mittens has apparently opened the flood gates!</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/" class="more-link">Read more on It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/" title="It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/" title="It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/12/26/it-was-a-kate-spade-christmas-this-year/&media=&description=It Was a Kate Spade Christmas This Year','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <a href="#" id="load-more" rel="year=2010&monthnum=12" >Load More</a>  </div>   </div> <div id="footer" class="clearfix"> <div class="footer-inner"> <div class="clear"></div> <p class="copyright">I've worked hard on everything here, including the photos.
