I'm excited about Lilly Pulitzer x Target

Target has been patterning with designers to produce capsule collections for the masses since 2003, and I've greeted most of them with the same attitude - "I'll see if I like anything that is left by the time it hits the clearance racks."

Heading to the store at 8 am on the launch date, or stalking the Target website, desperately adding items to my cart as soon as the clock hits midnight has never been of interest to me.

What makes this Lilly Pulitzer collection different is not that I'm a huge Lilly fan. In fact, I do not possess a single Lilly Pulitzer item, nor have I ever even wanted one.

Until now.

The moment I spotted the first preview photos I was smitten. Perhaps in the winter doldrums I was extremely impressionable to the idea of bright and beachy, perhaps its because I am equally, if not more in love with the housewares included in the collection (hello pineapple serving bowl). Plus, there are beach chairs. My life will not be complete without the set.

While I'm pretty much in love with 90% of the collection, here are the items I will be scrambling to put in my cart come April 19th; may my wallet forgive me.


Fan Dance Shift Dress, $38
Pineapple Serving Bowl, $30
Patio Umbrella, $100
Upstream Pom Pom Shorts, $24
Giraffeey Beach Towel, $25
Set of Four Dessert Plates, $25
Giraffe Bottle Opener, $10
Happy Place Straw Tote Bag, $30
Teak Beach Chairs, $60 each

  1. I am very impressed with this collection. The size range is impressive and the girls pieces are super cute! I will most certainly pick up a few pieces for myself and Madison.

  2. I'm sure it won't really surprise you to hear that I've never considered Lilly Pulitzer to be my style - so much bright and floral, neither of which are my thing. But I will admit that some of the home decor pieces from this collection have me seriously tempted, particularly those beach chairs!

  3. LOVE those shorts! Super cute!! And those chairs are so fun!
    Lily isn't really my style, too bright and happy, haha. But there are some pieces in the collection that I'd like to have. But for this one I'll wait for clearance ;)

  5. After such a long winter there's nothing much wonderful and happy then a color and pretty patterns. What a gorgeous selection. I have soft spot for pretty bowls and plates. I love to decorate my home.

  6. OMG, this Palm Beach girl is equally obsessed. I'm not even so into Lilly -- though around here it's inevitable to fall in love! -- but this collection is amazing. Those shorts are at the top of my list, too!

  8. My sister is a huge Lilly fan and so by proxy, I am a little bit. So I am very excited. I'm excited to see it be offered in plus sizes and that the prices aren't crazy like some of the last collaborations. It's Target. Offer this stuff at Target prices.

  24. Those shorts are the cutest- and there's a pair of metallic wedges I spotted in the collection that will literally go with everything come summer. Love!

  25. So, did you end up snagging anything? I actually set an alarm to wake up and deal with the website fiasco. It worked out, but goodness, I felt silly! I'm sure more pieces will make their way to the stores for returns.
