ACE OF SPADE: When it comes to clothing, Kate Spade is like that commitaphobe you dated for eons: Willing to dole out the accessories but running for the hills when it comes to full-fledged apparel. Until now. Kate Spade finally made it official and launched its first clothing collection at Bloomingdale’s. And we have to say, it’s been well worth the wait. The line is packed with chic, quirky numbers like this Bisous Gale Lace Dress ($395), plus plenty of options to mix and match. Oh, Kate Spade, we’re glad you took the plunge. Bloomingdale’s

Keep ‘em guessing with the Lil Lady. Its bucket-beds-hobo shape is just the thing to store your stuff in this fall. $1,785, Bird Handbags
