It’s all too easy to fall into a style rut at this time of year. The weather is often unrelentingly chilly and grey, and retailers’ promise of spring by way of floral prints and bright colors feels like a tease. Whenever I find myself in these sartorial doldrums, I stop trying to force myself to shop for spring trends and, instead, turn toward the classics that make up the foundation of my wardrobe. They may not be particularly exciting or paired in a groundbreaking way, but they are a breath of fresh air after a winter bundled up in woolen layers.

One Dress, Four Ways

February 23, 2018 by jessica 3 Comments

I recently purchased this $49 little black dress and I’ve been overjoyed with how versatile it’s been. I’ve already worn it to a cocktail event, to work, and I’ve been playing dress up with my new gingham clutch (a steal at Target!) while dreaming of warmer weather to wear it in! I’ve put together four outfit ideas for styling this dress in the coming months, and kept the colors neutral because there’s a good chance you already have similar basics in your closet. One quick note about the fit: the dress runs true to size if you have slimmer hips. I went up a size to give myself a more comfortable, looser fit around my hips and thighs.

Target Launches New Home Line: Opalhouse

February 21, 2018 by jessica 2 Comments

On April 8, Target will launch a new home line with “bold colors, optimistic prints and tons of texture.” The new line, Opalhouse, will have over 1,300 pieces with most priced at $30 or under that recall far-flung destinations for the person looking to outfit her home with an eclectic mix of globally influenced design and elevated details. For example, the wallpaper featured above was inspired by a bird that Target’s design team spotted in Lisbon coupled with flowers found near a market in Paris. While riding on a train to their next destination, a few sketches and watercolor eventually became the design for the wallpaper that will be part of the Opalhouse collection.

As if I needed another reason to turn to Target while working on our house! The chair below is my favorite piece from the collection and I can’t wait to snag two to eventually use in our sun room. And if you’re into that round pillow below, but don’t want to wait, you can snag a similar one at Urban Outfitters. What do you think about the new collection?
