Calypso St. Barth for Target

If you haven't yet, drop everything and run to Target to check out the new Calypso St. Barth collection!



Calypso was one of my favorite stores in New York. (Well actually their outlet store in Soho was one of my favorites because I couldn't afford too many full price dresses at $200+.) So when I heard that they were doing a line for Target a few months ago I marked my calendar for May 1!

I got to Target a little after 1 o'clock on Sunday and realized I wasn't the only one that was excited about the collection. Many of the sizes were already sold out and the housewares' shelves were looking sparse. I was able to snag a few cute things though. (I apologize for the bad cell phone pictures)


Medallion Print Crochet-Bib Tunic in Pink/Orange, $36.99



Woven Shirt in Blue, $29.99


I love these earrings! I'm always looking for simple gold earrings.


Gold Tear Drop Hoop Earring, $14.99
Gold Chandelier Disk Earrings, $14.99


I think the kids' stuff might be cuter than the women's.
I couldn't resist getting my BF's nieces this bubble suit and tunic is matching pink elephant print!


Girls Tunic in Berry, $12.99
Girls Printed Sunsuit, $12.99


There wasn't much left on the housewares shelves so I just had to get the last turquoise Elephant teapot.

Elephant Teapot, $12.99


And I figured while I was on the elephant kick I'd pick up a copy of Water for Elephants,
because its been on my list to read forever!



Has anyone else gotten anything from the Calypso collection? My store didn't have everything that is online so I'd love to hear about your finds!

Royal Wedding Craziness

Unless you've been living on the rock you know that tomorrow Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married in the wedding of the decade!! I'll be up at 6am to watch before work and then I'm heading to Royal Wedding Watching Party after work. I know that many of my friends and coworkers are excited about the wedding, but I'm still amazed at the hype/publicity surrounding the nuptials. From T-Mobile's hilariously choreographed Royal Wedding Spoof...




to Pappa Johns's Kate and Will Pizza it seems like everyone is getting in on the big day.

A recent report said there were over 400,000 eBay auctions related to Royal wedding souvenirs and paraphernalia! So what are all these people selling?

Here is some of my favorite wacky Will and Kate paraphernalia I've seen...


Royal Wedding Refrigerator ( I wonder how many of these they have sold??)

Royal Bedding, Premier Inn



Will and Kate Tea Bags, Pylones



Limited Edition William and Catherine Pez Dispensers



Crown Jewels Condoms


And some of my favorite more tasteful souvenirs...


Royal Wedding Cookie Assortment, Eleni's



Kate Loves Willy Tea Towel 

Royal Wedding Pillow, Jan Constantine



Royal Wedding Mug, Jan Constantine



Processional Map, House that Lars Built 



Kate's Ring Tote, House that Lars Built

Can't wait to till tomorrow!! Cherrio!

Wish List Wednesday... Parsons Desk

I've been doing lot of day dreaming these days about my new house, and even though I haven't found it yet that hasn't stopped me from starting a wish list of must have decor. It has become part of my daily routine to scour eBay and craigslist for these treasures! I was going to include all of my current crushes in this post but realized my list is way too long. So instead I'm going to highlight them each Wednesday for the next few weeks (or months) and hopefully by then I will have a house to put them in!

Wish List Item Number One {Drum Roll}...
Parsons Desk!



Oh the sleek lines and shinny finish! I think it would look great in the new office of Haymarket Designs. I had been lusting over a white one from West Elm until I saw Camila from Effortless Style's 'Polished Tumeric' desk and fell in love with the bright yellow version. Too bad West Elm no longer makes that color! :( Fingers crossed one shows up on Craigslist or eBay!




Check out my Parsons desk office inspirations...


Michelle Adams' desk, Rubie Green



Jess Graves' desk, The Love List

So what's on y'alls wish list?
