Prabal Gurung X Target

Target is an expert with fabulous designer collaborations and the latest partnership is making me love them more, is that even possible? Prabal Gurung  and Target will be launching a 80 piece women's clothing and accessories line on February 10 until March 23. The clothing prices range from $19.99 to $199.99 and the accessories range from $12.99 to $39.99. I love those prices and so does my wallet!

The gorgeous spring collection is flowing with his statement prints, floral motif, ruffles, romantic designs, color blocked pieces, and vibrant colors. Included are dresses, blazers, blouses, jackets, shoes, handbags and lots of accessories. This line is one that Gurung has "...imagined and dreamed about for a long time".

When discussing his Target audience, Gurung said, "I am so thrilled to be working with Target on a collection that brings my designs to a wider audience...This collection was inspired by love, and if Target’s guests can feel even a little bit of the love that I felt while I was designing this collection, then I will consider it a job well done".

I have a feeling that Target shoppers will fall in love with his designs and a whole new fan base will develop. I'm smitten by the collection and I honestly can't wait to see the pieces in person!

Speaking of love, Gurung explained to Elle.com on how his collection was inspired by love and romance, "The collection is inspired by a girl’s journey through the different stages of love and the clothes she wears during each milestone—from the initial first crush all the way to the engagement...Both the apparel and accessories in this collection include pieces that can be worn for each of these occasions and more!"

HERE ARE MY FAVORITE LOOKS

I have a feeling this collection will be hugely popular and pieces will be flying off the shelf early morning of February 10th. If I could offer any advice on shopping this line:

• Be there when the store opens
• Wear a comfy easy-to-shop-and-try-stuff-on outfit
• Grab a bunch of pieces you like first and then decide what you looks good on you, what fits, and what you'll buy in the dressing room.

Signature Scent

Have you ever had a signature perfume that you wore in high school or college? There is one perfume that never fails to transport me back into my high school days, filled with puppy love, staying after school with Johnny, sweet scented spring air, giggles, handholding, and love notes. Ralph Lauren's Romance does that for me. I typically enjoy fruity or citrus scents rather than floral and musk but there is just something about it. For those who are not familiar with Romance, it includes notes of sungoddess rose, marigold, ginger, chamomile oil, yellow freesia, white violet, lotus flower, day lily, patchouli, oakmoss, and musk. Ralph Lauren and Sephora describes Romance as "the women's fragrance that evokes the timeless essence of falling in love..." and boy they are right!

The advertisements for Romance are sensual, liberating, passionate, dreamy, and involves every girl's fantasy. In high school, I'd ripped out the ads and plastered them on my closet door, along with other posters and pictures. I even had to hid the bottle from my younger cousin so she wouldn't use it all (ha ha memories).



Horses, grassy field, stunning dress, handsome man, and sweet kiss, so charming
