Advance Notice. Calypso St. Barth for Target.

With Easter just behind us, spring is definitely in the air, and summer is just around the corner. Perfect timing for Target to feature their collaboration line with breezy designer Calypso St. Barth.

Target/designer pairings are always exciting, last summer we had John Derian to look forward to, and last fall, Mulberry.

I've spotted several items from the line I'd like to get my hands on--the natural sequins tote (online), the blue tunic dress/chic beach cover-up, the travel makeup cases, and maybe a couple rope bracelets for good measure. Oh, and then there's a home line with very cute cushions.

If you really want to go all in, pick up Calypso Marine perfume (a great summer scent) this week, and spritz yourself pre-Sunday shopping.

Calypso St. Barth for Target will be in stores Sunday May 1.

Advance Notice. Mulberry for Target.

Target's designer collaborations just keep getting better. On October 10, the Mulberry for Target line launches, and it's stylish and affordable. The high-end British line's leather bags go for about $1,000--but the Target collection's five pieces are all under $50.

Mulberry bags are classic--basic colors and shapes, made of quality leather and hardware. Kind of like a British version of Hermés. Not the kind of bag that you just carry for one season.

Fashion "It" girl Alexa Chung is such a Mulberry fan that they've named a cross-body bag after her. Other fans include Kate Moss and Naomi Watts.

Target is located at 7100 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, and other locations nationwide. Info: target.com.
