I think it’s time for another Kate Spade giveaway, don’t you? Their bags are always so roomy and perfect for carrying your essentials, plus books! Up for grabs is the Kate Spade Haven Street Maxi tote in soft aqua leather. It’s a vibrant, bright color for the spring season!

Though the bag is no longer showing up on the Kate Spade websites, other retailers have the bag’s specs:
- 11.7″ inches high x 12.9″ inches wide x 5.5″ inches deep
- Smooth leather with matching trim
- Capital Kate Jacquard lining, 14-karat light gold plated hardware
- Top handle bag with zip top closure
- Interior zip pocket and double slide pockets
Also included is a $25 gift card to Amazon! You need to fill up your new bag, right?

Though not required, traveling with this bag is encouraged, especially to the beach or maybe a delicious brunch. Debates about the true color of this bag – aqua? teal? sea foam green? – are allowed.

Thanks to everyone who commented, and may you always have a book in your bag!

I always take along my little portable charger!
A small bottle of travel soap because most public restroom soaps irritate my skin.
Hair ties and my kindle. Hate being without either@
I always have my phone.
It has to be a book. Oh, and hand sanitizer.
My phone and my ebookreader
My Kindle and my red lipstick! You never know when you might need either or both!
I’d say the bag is Neon Spearmint. I never leave home without a first aid kit in my purse. You never know when you or a friend might need it!
Hair ties and my kindle. Hate being without either!
Vaseline and my keys! I have been locked out of dorms/home too many times!
This is sort of embarrassing but the item I always keep in my purse is a plastic horse. Even if I forget my phone, I’ve got the damn horse. Because if we have to wait at the pharmacy or the gas pump or anywhere, that one horse will keep my five year old playing imaginatively for a long time. Other toys, they don’t work so much on her, but this horse is a keeper!
Wallet, tissues, lipgloss, phone and keys are my only must haves. Purse snacks optional!
My phone as it has so many uses!
Is it boring to say I never leave without my driver’s license?
I double check for my keys and my glasses!
I always double check for my keys and my glasses!!!
Vaseline and my keys! I have been locked out of dorms/home too many times! Lol
Wallet, smartphone, keys and earbuds obviously, but on top of these I always have Chapstick with me. Chapstick is a must have for me. Everything else is situational.
I always have my Sea Salt hand cream. The packaging is so cute, it smells amazing, it’s very moisturizing without being greasy, and it is from my ancestral homeland of RI! I also always carry a small tube of sunscreen. Would love to say I’m religious about using it, but that would be a lie.
My phone and lip balm. Cute bag!
Chapstick and my glasses
I never leave home without my e-reader. You never know when you’ll get stuck somewhere and need a good book.
I make sure I have my wallet and sunglasses.
Cellphone and lipgloss!!!
I never leave home without my Kindle and my knitting. You never know when you might have time to read or knit. They are my 2 favorite tings to do.
This may sound silly, but I always carry a small tape measure in my purse. We are always working on a lot of projects at home and it comes in handy often while out shopping.
Other than wallet, phone and keys? My iPad (with Kindle app) and sunglasses!
And that tote is totes my favorite color…sorry not sorry
My iPad and reading glasses!
My notebook and a pen!
I never leave home without Vitamin E chapstick from the body shop (BEST chapstick ever!) and a long sleeve T-shirt or fleece in my bag (hazards of living in Minnesota, even in the summer)
In my new (ahem) Kate Spade purse lives a Kate Spade wallet, of course.
Lib balm and earbuds! (other than my phone, wallet, and keys)
My iPad mini so I always have a book to read or let’s be honest a game to play
I have 3 kids, so I carry a lot of useless stuff in my purse for them. But, I never leave home without my favorite lipstick of the moment is – a girl’s gotta have a little color in her life!
I never leave home without Vitamin E chapstick from the body shop (BEST chapstick ever!) and a long sleeve T-shirt or fleece in my bag (essentials for living in Minnesota, even in the summer)
Aside from the basic requirements of wallet and keys, I never leave home with my kindle, the charge, and an adapter to charge the kindle from the car.
chapstick and glasses
Snacks!
Thanks for the chance to win! I always carry chapstick and sunglasses. If I’m going anywhere other than home and work, I carry a book with me too!
Phone, wallet and (my friends would be so surprised to know this) lipstick.
