Summer Ready with Target and Marimekko

Last week was spent seaside in Aptos, California, for our kids Spring Break. We had a fabulous time, relaxing and decompressing, at a gorgeous beach house we’d rented for the week. We enjoyed amazing weather –  it felt like the beginning of summer.

Aptos, like most California beach towns is super casual. I pretty much lived in my swimsuit, boyfriend jeans (yes, I own white and denim, in the Citizens ‘Emerson’ jean!), and flip flops.

This Trina Turk black sweater, doubled up nicely as a swimsuit cover-up!

Re-entry begins…

Being we were out of town, I missed the launch of the Marimekko for Target collection this past weekend. I would not have traded my family beach time for anything, but now back in town, I stopped by my local Target store, to check out this very happy and colorful launch – here’s a look!

I have to say, all 4 color palettes are interesting, but I was drawn to the black and white collection.

I set up this Flat-Lay for you all, smack in the middle of the accessory department.
