... it's coming

The much anticipated Phillip Lim 3.1 collaboration collection with Target is coming soon in just a few days over a month.  Many fashionistas across the nation are gearing up to buy pieces from what people say will be the second biggest collaboration with Target after Missoni's collection from a few years ago.

In my honest opinion, I think this is the first collection that I was super excited about since Missoni.  Prabal Gurung's collection was exciting, but items sold very quickly and I couldn't unfortunately pick a piece from his Target collection.  The Neiman Marcus collection was exciting at first, but I could safely say that I was only excited about maybe 3 pieces (the white Marchesa dress, Proenza Schouler sweatshirt, & the Tracy Reese blue sequins shirt).  I was able to snag the Proenza Schouler sweatshirt at 70% off.

The pieces I'm most excited about is Phillip's handbags, particularly the budget versions of his infamous Pashli bags.

I was inspired by Refinery 29's DIY version of Rodarte's celestial star clip.

So yesterday on my mommy's day out trip to visit my bff during lunch, I stopped by a bunch of stores including one of new favorites, M&J Trimming. I picked up a few star nail heads from there. Walked a few stores down to Toho Shoji to pick up some metal wire and a few hair clips.

Here's the DIY video that Refinery 29 posted. Check it out! Maybe it'll inspire you to make your own Rodarte celestial star clip. :)
