bullseye: city escape

Most think spring break is synonymous with sea salt & sandals. But some of the chicest of vacations are city destinations like New York, Chicago or Seattle. 

& if you're making the trip to site see & shop, you're [obviously] going to need to make a before-travels stop at Target to load up on some city-escape essentials. Whether it's your first time in the big apple or you're a frequenter of Michigan Avenue, no one wants to dish out lots of cash for a pre-vacay shopping trip.

Soo--

You can score all the beauty essentials + an outfit & accessories for only $100!

bullseye: beach break essentials

We're just days away from a week of relaxation, which means suitcases are opening & we're beginning to pile in the bikinis, sundresses & short-shorts. But what is a beach break vacay without some last-minute essentials for days upon days spent under sun? & what better place to make that last-minute stop than ever accessible, adorable & affordable Target.

The best part? You can get both the beauty essentials & an outfit for just at $100! 

But not everyone plans on being a beach bum all week. Come back every day this week for more spring break occasions & Target buys to go along with them!

Which look do you plan to snag before taking off?

current: neon & neutrals

 It's true. The neon/neutral mashup isn't breaking fashion news.

In fact, the trend made its official comeback last year & has only picked up speed since. & although it's every fashion girl's goal to make a statement, you never want the adjective "obnoxious" in your photo caption.

Which is why after spending months in wintery hues, I'm so ready to start incorporating fluorescents into my wardrobe. & to avoid being deemed over-glaring, I'm taking to my closet to pull out some timeless pieces to pair with the phosphorescents. 

Designers like Peter Som & Jason Wu are backing the continuation of the trend, too, showing their models in nothing but bright & brighter.
