Lilly Pulitzer for Target: The Aftermath

We admit.  As fashionistas, we did not make our best attempt to get to Lilly Pulitzer for Target. Lilly Pulitzer for Target It is sad to say, but by the time we got to Target on Apr. 20th, almost everything was gone! As you all know by now, the Lilly Pulitzer for Target sold out on the first day: Apr. 19th.  Reports indicate that some stores sold out the collection in less than an hour.  Massive lines of eager shoppers formed long before the Target opened.  Women every were came out in droves to buy.  We didn't expect this turn out...and lost out on the hype and seeing the entire collection in person.  However, we did manage to pick up some great signature pieces: A fabulous scarf and headband.  What was you experience with Lilly Pulitzer for Target? It is a beautiful and sunny assortment of summer must-haves.  Too bad it is so short-lived.  Pictures below show a casual look.  We paired the Lilly pieces with a t-shirt from L'AMOUR by Nanette Lepore and our own jewelry designs.  The scarf could definitely be worn with your business suit.  It is gorgeous and perfect for keeping you warm when the air conditioner is blasting.

Here are the picture from Target the day after the launch.  Is was cleaned out, except for some beauty items and accessories.  Almost all of the tableware and glasses were purchased and there were only two dresses left in the entire store!

Coachella Style

Coachella starts in a couple of days.  Hopefully you have passes...or can come up with a way to get them.  One thing is for sure: you need to have your festival style in order.  What use is going to Coachella if you are not looking fabulous? There is none! IF your wardrobe is devoid of anything remotely cool and festival appropriate, you can head to your local H & M and get the "official" Coachella collection: http://www.hm.com/us/hm-loves-coachella.  This is Coachella-approved...so if your wear anything from this, you will generally fit in.  Also, the price point won't drain your wallet.
Here are some of the looks from H & M:

For "High-End" Coachella looks, I really j'adore this poncho from Emillio Pucci:

 And this fabulous hippy dress from Roberto Cavalli:

Think Hippy more than Hipster.  Have more fun with crochet, fringe, color, and prints!

Make sure you get a faux tan as well.   If you are like most lady lawyers, you have been sitting inside an office for far too long.  I love St. Tropez: https://www.sttropeztan.com/

Also, do NOT forget your sunscreen! It is super sunny and hot at Coachella.  You do not want to burn or get sun damage.  Opt for a natural, chemical-free sunscreen using zinc and titanium dioxide.

Make sure you have cool sunglasses.  Please don't forget them.  When in doubt, bring aviators.  They are always perceived as fashionable and sexy...not quirky.

Kendall Jenner wore them last year.  So do you need any further proof? :)

Most of all, have fun with your look.  This festival gives you an opportunity to wear things you could never wear to work.  Shortest shorts, flowers in your hair, psychedelic hippy dresses, and crochet ponchos.
