Lilly Pulitzer for Target "Sea Urchin For You" Dress

I believe good things come to those who wait. This is exactly what happened with my luck and the Lilly for Target collection.

I am a fan of both Lilly and Target, so I was excited to hear about the collaboration (you can see my favorites from the preview here). However, I was not about to partake in the hunger games to get my hands on one of the items, nor was I going to pay ridiculous prices online to get one of the Target prints. 

If you are an avid Target shopper, you may have seen some Lilly for Target returns in store (I have seen a lot of the "Boom Boom" print jumpsuit on the racks), but at my local Target I spotted one "Sea Urchin For You" dress and I immediately tried it on. 

I loved the pattern and the flowy fit, plus the print was much more vibrant in the store than from pictures online. I also avoided buyers remorse because I paid the original ticket price of $30 and not some ridiculous mark-up on Ebay. 

This is a fun print for summer, and I have already worn it a few times. It is very comfortable and I even received compliments from strangers!

I wore this blue jewel necklace that happened the match perfectly with the blues in the dress pattern. This necklace also happens to be from Target.

I wore my robins egg blue cross-body from Francesca's, also picking up the blue in the dress print. 

I bought this cute gold and pave seahorse bracelet from a little boutique when I was in South Bend, Indiana last weekend, and my beaded bracelet is from Aid Through Trade. 

These simple gold strapped sandals are from Gap.

To top it off I wore a denim jacket from Gap. 

If you are still craving some Lilly for Target I would highly recommend keeping your eye out for returns. Considering fast turnover rate of inventory, the quality isn't spectacular and the sizing runs small. It isn't worth spending any more than the original price, and if you can't get your hand on one at Target splurge and buy original Lilly. 

I am really happy I got the opportunity to purchase this dress because it is easy to dress up or down and I can wear it for a variety of occasions. 

Have you had any luck finding Lilly at your Target? Let me know in the comments!

Coral and Turquoise Details

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! I can't believe May is already almost over.

As I have been preparing to travel for the next 6 months, I have purchased a lot of versatile basics.

I recently bought this black dress from TJ Maxx, and I love it because it is easy to dress up or down, and it is made from a stretchy fabric that is easy to take care of. 

I decided to wear a simple denim jacket over top, which is from Gap. 

My summer staple is denim jackets over dresses.

I wore this statement necklace in turquoise from Target. I got this necklace for $6 on clearance, and it really pops against the simple black background.  

These turquoise laser-cut wedge sandals are from Marshalls, and pick up the blue in the necklace. 

To contrast the turquoise, I wore this rose gold and coral Marc Jacobs watch, and this dark coral cross-body bag from Kate Spade. 

I love how vibrant these colors are against the simple black dress.

The jacket makes the look more casual.

And without, it is dressier for nice occasions.

What is one of your closet staples this summer?

Vintage Feminine Dress with Moto Jacket

By now you probably know I like juxtaposition.

Plaids with stripes.

Dresses with sneakers.

Neutrals with neons.

Jeans with heels.

Today I am contrasting edgy leather with a light vintage inspired floral. 

I really love this floral dress from Loft  and it has a classic vintage style with a tie that cinches around the waist.



I really like floral pattern and the dusty rose color, but without the right styling it can look a bit frumpy.

By putting on a leather motorcycle jacket, it modernizes the dress and adds an edgy touch that makes it easy for transitioning into a night time look. 

This navy blue jacket also picks up the color in the flowers.

Typically it is too hot for leather this time of year, but layering at night is common because the evenings can get really cold and unpredictable even if the day is hot and humid.

This leather motorcycle jacket is from 3.1 Philip Lim.

For accessories, I wore my dainty peace sign necklace from Lucky Brand.

These nude peep-toe heels with an ankle strap are from TJ Maxx.

This dress is extremely comfortable and versatile and I hope to wear it a lot this season!

What are you looking forward to wearing? I know you will be seeing a lot of dresses from me in the upcoming months!
