Although "Sex & The City" is in syndication, the iconic fashion of Charlotte York is still a trend and is evident in Kate Spade's spring collection. Mom's friends will be buzzing about her Mother's Day gifts this year, especially if it's a Signature Spade Leather Maxie (white or flame), a Signature Spade Leather Jane (acid yellow) or the cool Pool Party Clutch (pool blue). Add in Spade's Mulholland Drive Cocktail Ring (yellow and turquoise) and the Jawbreaker Cuff Bracelet and mom will sing your gift-giving praises. Just in time for Mother's Day, Kate Spade also launched Mom's The Word daisy stud earrings and Mom Always Said bangles.
