THE E LIST 05.09.12

Having a deco moment…

I walked into Target the other day, and spotted this blush/tropical green goodness of a dress (No. 2). Since I haven’t stopped thinking about it — and had to include it in another edition of the E list — I clearly need to go back and get it…

1. Pier 1 mirrored nightstand, $249.99  2. The Webster at Target dress, $42.99  3. Oscar de la Renta “Live in Love” perfume, $98  4. Malachite bangle, $12  5. Tropical pillow cover, $40  6. DVF snakeskin clutch, $360 7. Michelle Armas acrylic on canvas, $200  8. Flamingo matches, $4  9. Charlie by Matthew Zink bikini, $215  10. Chloe Cirse sunglasses, $330  11. Loeffler Randall raffia wedge sandals, $375

And clearly I’m not over the light pink.

Happy hump day!

    That is one cute dress! Target does that to you….you go in needing to buy toothpaste and something cool always grabs you and 100 dollars you leave the store. Also, love the sandals!

    Target has got it goin’ on. Light pink is infectious. That bikini top reminds me of the black version of my powder room wallpaper. Love the E list!

    That DVF clutch is the very definition of divine! Target has already pulled me in with the new collections and I have to stop myself every time I’m there (aka, every other day!)
