Hello-Hello, and welcome to a new week. Please accept our apologies for dropping off the radar like a stone for being absent, not only have we been insanely busy at The Prepatorium, we actually enjoyed a quick getaway to a stunning retreat.
It was simply wonderful to spend time away from the daily chaos routine, especially with a host and hostess that were beyond gracious. Even though we were behind enemy lines.
But…we managed to completely neglect our responsibilities here on the blog, that wasn’t such a good thing.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today we only have one tidbit to share, word of yet another collaboration from Le Boutique Targét, this one with designer Prabal Gurung. Below, a look from the upcoming line.
The designer has been worn by notable names for years; Michelle Obama, Sarah Jessica Parker and Zoe Saldana are just a few of the celebrities seen in his creations. One such individual recently seen wearing a design from Mr. Gurung, the Duchess of Cambridge, more commonly known as Kate Middleton.
She wore his silk/wool boatneck sheath from the spring 2012 collection at a function in Singapore last month.
Back to the upcoming collection, more from Vogue:
Now, nearly four years after launching his own label, Gurung’s time has come, and on February 10, 2013, his 80-plus-piece collection of clothes, bags, jewelry and shoes will hit stores.
Target’s news release offers a little more insight into pieces we can expect to see and prices.
Standout pieces include refined dresses, mixed-media skirts, edgy blazers and striking shoes. The collection ranges in price from $19.99 to $199.99 for apparel and $12.99 to $39.99 for jewelry, handbags and shoes.
From a calendar perspective, the launch will follow Target’s collaborative effort with Neiman Marcus for the holidays, a collection from several high profile designers that debuts December 1st. We’ll profile that line later this week.









I was just wondering where you were! Your little getaway looks like a perfect fall weekend. Xo
I’m excited to see what will be in this collection!
This could be a good one. And I am so, so glad you got away. Sending many hugs.
Well welcome back,I was thinking about the other day and wondering where you had gone:) Should be interesting…..to see if the Target customer will “get” this designer…..lets see! Have a wonderful day!
Glad you’re back! And I understand what you mean about enemy lines. I live in Columbus, so I could tell you all about Buckeye mania.
