Boo on Libertine for Target

As I expected I was slightly put off by the Libertine for Target collection, as I have been by the majority of the GO Designer Collections. (The one exception being Proenza Schouler, only because I scored one of their trademark silk bustiers which I live for). I seriously am slightly disheartened by the fact that many of these designers cannot translate their fabu designs to the masses. Another exception to the rule was Stella McCartney for H&M which was absolutely fantastic and well worth the mayhem that ensued upon release.

My only find was the Libertine Embroidered Duffle ($39.99) which is cheekily marked with whales and skulls (a recurrent theme) yet only really works on this fun weekender.

A Drool Worthy Beach Day

I can spend hours concocting fabu beachy outfits at Net-A-Porter's online summer boutique. I am one for neutrals, the majority of my wardrobe is grey, black, white and brown. But when it comes to the beach I really let loose. It is the perfect time to mix and match tropical brights and really show off your summer fabness.

Polyvore Chic

I have wasted the last hour on my fave new fabu site. Polyvore is a great tool for seeing how things look next to each other. For example, you can use it to try out clothes or furniture, even from different stores.

Stella McCartney Parfums Contest

It takes a lot to tear me away from my fall/spring perfume routine. Normally I stick with Fracas in the Fall and Marc Jacobs in the spring. But after wandering through the Sephora perfume section for an hour this weekend, I found love at first scent.

Stella Eau de Parfum by Stella McCartney is magical, with notes of Rose, Peony, and Amber among others, it is seductive and whimsical at the same time. I am a big fan of pocket perfumes so I thought why not have a contest to win a 0.33 oz Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On of your own.

Let me know what scent is your favorite in the comments and I will randomly select one winner. All entries must take place by midnight CT on Friday, May 11.

Drool Worthy Moment

I am heading to Atlanta tonight for my guy's graduation this weekend. So it pains me to say there will most likely be no new posts until Sunday evening when I return. Seeing as this weekend will be filled with ceremonies, parent time, and travels...oh and of course a few margaritas for Cinco de Mayo. Have a great week/weekend and be sure to check back on Sunday!

I leave you with this wondrous piece to tide you over.
