Cherry Picking: Peter Pilotto at Target

Pump the breaks; another Target/designer collaboration is hitting the stores.  This time featuring designers Christopher DeVos and Peter Pilotto.  What started off as a swimwear collection quickly developed into something much greater.  Along with swimwear, this collection includes: beach bags, dresses, sunglasses, towels—all the essentials.

The signature look? Patterns but of course!  Gobs and gobs of fabulous patterns—mixed and matched to perfection, each piece as striking as the next.  Equal parts feminine, equal parts off the wall—the collection hits the mark.  When can you get your hands on it?  The collection will be available in stores and online at Target.com February 9^th (aka, tomorrow).

Favorite picks are pictured above.  Better yet?  Nothing in the collection exceeds $80/item.  As if it hasn't been said a million times before, thank you Target!

Dress, sunnies, beach towel, ... romper (OMG!)

Now, if only the beach bag came with a cabana boy. Sigh. 

Tortoise: Making a Statement!

I’ve always been a fan of tortoise.  How about you?  There is something classic about it that just draws me in. Personally, I would pair the oversized bracelet with either the earrings or the statement necklace—but never all three pieces together!  I could see the tortoise paired with an LBD and some sassy heels or more buttoned up with a blazer at the office. As for the rhinestones, they're just fun.  I can’t resist!

These styles are on sale at ILY Couture—but only for a limited time!  Click here to purchase now.

J.Crew: the Etta

What is more gorgeous than statement jewelry?  A statement shoe, of course!  I am in awe of the Etta collection available now at J.Crew.  The Etta pump stuns with a mix of luxurious patterns and luscious texture.  I can't get enough.  Styles retail exclusively at JCrew.com from $150 to $375.
