Mad For Brad: Get Glam With Kate Spade's Super Stylist And Nordstrom's



Do you know Brad? He's the cutie that was Rachel Zoe's right hand man for several years. I fell in love with him on her show, and the affair continued when Brad starred in his own show.  Brad Goreski now is now the brand stylist for Kate Spade New York. Not a bad gig, huh? Nordstrom's likes Brad, too, and introduces us to Brad with this clever conversation with himself. 
Meet Brad


 Let's See What's In Store and On-Line

Brad likes to add a surprise to every outfit.  In this case, a nautical boatneck, Kate's Mazie Top is paired with Paige Denim's Splatter Skinny Jeans, Kate's perfectly pointed Lello Pumps, and a pink Crossbody for a pop of color.  Each piece is a surprise!  Get the look HERE.

Kate's Six Month Dot Scarf is both long on style and length at 80 inches.
