Pencey ...

Pencey is an awesome New York brand famous for their edgy, feminine pieces. Incidentally, it's also the name of the prep school in my favorite novel. Here are some of my favorite looks from their Spring 2010 collection which are available for purchase on Shopbop. 

This flirty top is adorable:

The kind of blazer I want:

Sweetest little white dress:

By far the coolest hoodie I've ever seen:

p.s. Word on the street is that Temple St. Clair and Tucker by Gaby Basora are the next GO International lines set to hit Target in September!

back stateside!

After an epic last week in Sydney I'm finally back stateside, spending some time with my favorite little person. San Diego is sunny and beautiful -currently posting poolside - and I've already enjoyed many of the perks (4 bagels in the span of 2 days) of being on U.S. soil. My sister and I went on a Target and Old Navy shopping spree yesterday and I may have gone nuts. Here are some highlights:

These floral ballet flats from Target:

Which are nearly identical to the J. Crew version (but 1/16 of the price):

And these sweet little notebooks which I plan to use while traveling:

(p.s. Liberty of London for Target is seriously adorable)

This Rodarte for Target raincoat was an ebay purchase from about two weeks ago:

These Old Navy boyfriend shorts in light blue (couldn't find a picture):

And a beachy sweater:

And an embellished cardigan, again, highly reminiscent of J. Crew:

The obsession with citron continues:

Must stop shopping ... and eating bagels ... and drinking giant cups of coffee. I'm so happy to be home, or at least halfway there!

countdown

Tomorrow marks exactly two months until the release of Zac Posen's line for Target. Target is one of the things that I miss the most about the States; for some reason (and by some reason I mean innumerable, legitimate reasons) Target in Australia is tremendously inferior. For a start, it closes at 7 pm and personally, I find that the best Target shopping sprees take place between the hours of 9pm and 12 am.

If you haven't already seen them, here are some of the looks:

I really like these pieces, but I also think that most people - and I guess I can only really speak for myself here - would find the leather jacket priced at $199.99 to be a bit excessive

This is my favorite -  I love the swimsuit and the top

This dress is so sweet

I love this skirt

I like that his pieces are quite eclectic yet somehow cohesive ... I can't wait to see them in person!
