Friday Find: Prabal Gurung Fever!

It's official, the love bug has hit us early this season with the Target collaboration 

with Prabal Grugung. With the recent release of the lookbook, 

we were amazed and in awe of what is to come for this year. 

Is it safe to say that this may be a more fab collab than the one with Missoni? 

We spy bold colors, funky prints and florals! We always knew the florals would make a comeback and we couldn't be more thrilled. Just in case you have been living under a rock and haven't seen the latest lookbook, here are a few of our favorites.

#1: A printed sweater and basic skirt are the perfect match

#2: Make a statement with one BOLD color

#3: Play with textures

YES! Finally a fun nail look that you can be proud of. We all know how tough it was to get those ombre nails sussed out last year, but don't fret any longer because 'Caviar Nails' are all the rage and aren't that difficult to do. Since we are so-very-much obsessed with this look, we wanted to feature some of our favorite colors and finds. Enjoy!

You can purchase the Ciate brand at any Sephora!

caviar trend with two-toned beads!

#3: This pastel look is perfect for those that want 

to keep it low-key and simple!

in different colors. It gives you that fun & flirty look!
