John Derian for Target... on Gilt!

Is everyone excited for the new John Derian collection at Target? As you know, I was a big fan of the last go-around. This collection seems even better - I'm loving the silhouette plates, and the trays shown above are truly delightful.

The new pieces won't be in stores until September 5, but starting this Friday, my favorite online sample sale, Gilt.com, is hosting a pre-sale of not only the John Derian collection, but also the new collaborations from Tucker and Mulberry! What a great opportunity to shop the lines without having to drive to eight different Targets.

Happy Friday + Ideeli and Gilt Groupe

As I wish you all a happy weekend, I leave you with a few fun things that have caught my eye recently...

• This new banana vase from Jonathan Adler is totally fun and a little bit naughty. I love it!
• Jewelry from Andrew Hamilton Crawford - particularly this badass dragon necklace and ring...

and...

• Ideeli and Gilt Groupe, two excellent private sample sale sites. They get killer designer merchandise and the prices are pretty fantastic. Recently, there have been sales featuring Kenneth Jay Lane, Vera Wang, Jonathan Adler, Laura Mercier, Geren Ford, Christian Lacroix, Diane von Furstenberg... the list really goes on. Most of the time, the goods are impressively discounted between 50% and 75% off.  Here are few of the fab items I've drooled over recently....

Hot stuff, don't you think? To gain access to the sample sales, you just accept an invitation from a member.... for Ideeli, click HERE and for Gilt Groupe, HERE...

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and see you on Monday!
