If you want to get your feet wet before breaking out the checks and dots, then hear me out! A great way to experiment with contrasting separates is to start with a stand-out accessory. This could be a pair of bold shoes, a purse, or in this case, sunglasses. When I came across these sunnies at Ambiance, I instantly fell in love. No they are not the most practical pair that I own, but they sure will make a statement when I rock ’em. Rather than styling these fun frames with a solid top or dress, I went for my favorite blue striped boyfriend shirt and white cut-off shorts. How did I arrive at this configuration? I was going for the mixed prints look but in a more subtle fashion. Within the geometric pattern of the sunglasses, blue is very prevalent and the reason I paired them with a blue striped shirt! To pull in another prevailing color, I embellished the look with bright pink pumps, and a matching floppy hat. Finally, to incorporate more of the geometric pattern, I polished off the outfit with a similar multi-colored clutch purse. How’s that for a mixed prints beginner run?!

 

 Call Ambiance and ask Marcella to ship you these sunglasses. Don’t forget to tell her that KK and GG sent you! Shop the rest of this look below:

]]> The Lilly Pulitzer line for Target officially launched last Sunday…I wish I could say that it made its debut without a hitch. From the minute word hit the street of this exciting collaboration there has been quite a buzz. Anxiously awaiting to get my hands on these pretty prints (along with every other fashionista across the nation), here’s my experience in a nutshell.
 
April 18 11:55 pm PDT: After logging onto target.com from my iPhone and refreshing the home page a dozen times, the “Preview Collection” button turns to “Shop Now.” I hectically scroll down the list of products and find none of which were on my wish list…weird. 30 seconds later, I take a stab in the dark and add three random items to my cart, enter my billing and shipping information, hit “place order,” and a confirmation email shows up in my inbox at 12:03 am PDT.
 
Now after midnight early morning on launch day, I pull up target.com from my desktop computer. Finally most of the products appear and are ready for purchase. I start by adding the high-waisted bikini, matching coverup and the beach towel to my cart. All items were available in the correct size. Hooray! After adding one more item, I click “checkout.” Now that my info is saved, I simply hit “place order” and get the lovely message “server unavailable.” After checking @Target on Twitter, it confirmed my assumption. Due to the excitement of the big reveal the website crashed. As the waiting game continued I couldn’t help but amuse myself with the tweets of frustrated #LillyForTarget customers across the nation. Eventually the website worked up until the most important part…the checkout process. After trying multiple times and failing from different devices, I finally gave up around 1:30 am. While I was disappointed with my shopping experience, I felt fortunate to at least have three items from the collection.
 
Fast forward to Monday morning, April 20th, I receive an email from Target with subject “A shipment is coming your way soon.” Obviously I assume it is the order that I placed and received a confirmation for, but when I open it up, lo and behold it is for the bikini and beach towel! Apparently three of my failed orders went through after all. Now check out the “Nosie Posey” button down shirt styled below with high-waisted green shorts and my fav fruit-shaped purse!

Although I received a couple of duplicate items, it’s safe to say that these pieces were worth the trouble! For $24, this top’s quality and fit are more than adequate and the colors are as vibrant as true Lilly prints. Unfortunately this button down shirt is sold out, but I have linked to available Lilly Pulitzer items, so that you can imitate the outfit above.
 

Imitate this look:

Look A

Shirt  | Shorts | Shoes | Purse

Look B

 Shirt | Shorts | Shoes | Purse
