Targét’s Next Collection, Bubba is Pretty in Pink…and Green

Hello-Hello and welcome to a new week, we are forced to be brief once again, we are a bit swamped with business.

We begin with an early look at the upcoming collection for Le Boutique Targét, the first from its new “Shops at Target” program, showcasing design partnerships with small boutiques. The initial collection, The Webster at Target, is done in tandem with luxury boutique The Webster Miami.

The line launches May 6, photos of the collection were released last week. Pieces showcase iconic Webster themes, including the boutique’s banana leaf print wallpaper, as well as motifs reflecting Miami’s art deco architecture. You’ll also note there’s very much a resort, beachside feel to the styles.

Below left to right we see the Colorblock Cardigan ($32.99), Tank in Palm Print ($19.99) and Jacquard Skirt in Coral ($29.99), the Sleeveless Shift Dress in Two-Way Deco Print ($39.99) and Short-Sleeved Drawstring Dress in Melon ($36.99).

Good news for those who struggle to find appealing styles in either petites or plus sizes, both will be available online for this collection.  Another appealing possibility from our friends at The Fashion Spot:

Since this collaboration is with a company that is likely to have more of a niche following than say, Missoni, you probably won’t have to fight with eBay vultures to get your hands on it.

Below we show some of the accessories, starting with bracelets in ‘Two-Way Deco Print’ and ‘Green Plaid,’ both $16.99.

Response to the upcoming collaboration is positive, USA Today said the collection hits an “Ultra Chic Bullseye,” while Esquire‘s story is titled “Target Will Soon Be Selling Clothes You’ll Want”:

And, while the company has dabbled in offering a few of these items for men over the years, they’ve never quite hit the bullseye when it comes to making clothes guys would actually want to purchase.

These men’s looks feature a short-sleeved Polo ($19.99) and Swim Trunks ($29.99) on the left, on the right we see a Navy/White Striped shirt ($29.99), Shorts in Palm Print ($29.99), Chevron Woven Belt in Green ($19.99) and the Straw Fedora ( $19.99).

This looks like it has lots of potential, as is so frequently the case with these collaborative efforts, a key component will be quality.

Following yesterday’s excitement in Augusta, we have two golf notes to share.

Via LPGA Style Watch

The first involves LPGA golfer Morgan Pressel and Lilly Pulitzer, the pro has signed a deal with the preppy print company, she’ll be wearing their duds on and off the course. (With thanks to the always stylish Bruce, golf guru and style aficionado for the tip on this arrangement.)

Our other golf tidbit is also today’s Pretty in Pink. (You can imagine where this is going.)

You have to love a guy who uses pink clubs, especially when it is part of a fund-raising effort.

Mr. Watson hopes to raise $1,000,000 for various charities this season, Ping has already donated $10,000 to the cause.
