Right On Target









Target is a US value superstore who are known for their amazing Designer collaborations. Stella McCartney, Missoni, Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg, Jason Wu and Joseph Altuzarra are just some of the legendary brands that Target can list as collaborators.

Fashion brands like these create collections that mere mortals like me can only dream of wearing so designer partnerships like this, when done well, can be the fashion equivalent of the Holy Grail, inviting a much broader audience into their wonderful world and making their fabulous Designs just a little bit more attainable.

One of the Target collaborations I was most excited about was the Peter Pilotto for Target range. Peter Pilotto & Christopher De Vos launched their label in 2007 and have subsequently become one of the most successful, lust-worthy brands in the fashion industry. Known for it's colourful digital prints, the label is loved and worn by some of the biggest stars in the world.

As you might guess, most of the collection sold out within minutes of the online launch on Net-a-Porter but the fashion gods were smiling on me that day and I managed to buy one of my favourite pieces; a cotton-blend jersey mini dress, it features a pleated front, 3/4 length sleeves and a multicoloured floral-print that is typical of the colourful Peter Pilotto aesthetic.

I styled my pretty dress with an exquisite pair of Chanel shoes in a black & white colour-way & matched my scarlet lips with my favourite Nadia Minkoff clutch bag, my treasured 'Aldwych'.

Black Lace









A little while ago, designer brand Issa produced a range of beautiful lace dresses exclusively for Net-a-Porter. They cost an absolute fortune and I knew I could never have one without at least taking out a second mortgage!

So instead, I searched the High Street & the Internet for a cheaper alternative. I struck solid gold when I came across this Juicy Couture 'Guipure' black lace dress (also on Net-a-Porter) and was absolutely thrilled when my darling Husband bought it for me for Valentine's Day! 

It is the most gorgeous, girly dress & one of the very few I own that didn't require some alteration or other to make it fit! 

I have styled it here with my ever present Tiffany charm bracelet (a wedding anniversary present from years ago... it is rarely off my wrist!) & a pair of blue satin shoes. I love a bright pop of colour with a simple, sweet dress like this!

Candy Jeans











I find it really difficult to get jeans that fit me well so imagine my delight when I tried on some cheap as chips Topshop jeans that fit like a dream! The 'Leigh' jeans come in every colour & print you can imagine and I've already bought them in red and... wait for it... lavender! 

I hummed & hawed a bit before buying a lavender pair as I really wasn't sure I would get on with candy coloured jeans. I didn't want my legs to look like two sticks of rock!  I have to say however, that I absolutely love them! Lavender is the perfect Spring colour and lets face it, pastel, candy colours are everywhere this season, there's no escaping them!

I teamed my jeans with my newest Twenty8twelve purchase, the 'Idris' tee. The print is by T8Ts new Artist of the season, Talia Baldwin. I absolutely love the idea of wearing a piece of art! 

The cute little turn-ups on the jeans show off my treasured Christian Louboutin studded 'Pigalle 100' pumps to perfection. I bought these stunners on Net-a-Porter some time ago and they continue to cause quite a stir whenever I wear them. They are so rock & roll!

I have finished this laid-back look off with a silver Tiffany cuff and ring and Miu Miu sunglasses.
