Looks - Prabal Gurung's Floral Crush Shorts

Well it has been a long time, but we finally got another styling shoot! Today we are featuring the super cute pair of shorts featured in the Prabal Gurung for Target - LOVE collection. The collection was sold during the mid-February (during Valentines Day) and it was an absolute shopping frenzy. When I first went to the store, it was already sold out and I was lucky enough to find it in the Target at New Jersey. The shorts was adorable and comfortable. The print is one of the signature prints in the collection (along with the "First Date Print").

Because the print is already so colorful and eye-catching, there is no need to match it with crazy tops or some big chunky jewelry. In fact, big jewelries may cheapen the short because of its adorable nature. I matched it with a black top and cardigan simply because I want it to stand out, but it'll do great with other color tops too as long as its something that coincide with the palette of the shorts. If you really want to pair it with a crazy top, make sure the pattern matches and is from the same corner of the color palette to avoid looking like a clown. I wore it with heels, but it is also perfect for sneakers or flats, as long as the color matches!

PRABAL GURUNG LOVE Target Styling

You may have all remembered the Prabal Gurung frenzy in Target. Prabal used his sense of print and added some incredible colors in Targets everywhere. Out of all of the different prints, my favorite is the "First Date" Print. They are all incredibly gorgeous pieces that are classy, chic, and very easy to dress for. However, some may tend to dress them with simple jeans or skirt, and not taking these tops to its full potential.

Here is a suggestion on how to dress it for the different persona that is in you! Adding a leather skirt, it can be dressed into a badass look, along with the studded booties. Then there are the classy white-gray shorts that can be quite formal that may be worn to a meeting (in the spring, of course, don't wear it in the winter and freeze!). Lastly, there is the simple jeans (of course) for the more laid-back look. However, don't go for the classic blue denim, but choose some other pastel color! then spice it up with jewelries that is also included in the image. Enjoy!

Looks - A Hot Day in Winter.

So did anyone feel how hot today is? It's even 72 Fahrenheit degrees at one point today. II really appreciated the warm weather cause it has been very cold in New York City lately.

This is my third day into the spring semester, and I finally got the chance to take photos of my looks. This is about 5:30 in the afternoon, and I just came back from an entire day of class, so sorry about my very tired expressions.

I hope you like the look!!

Also, I want to take an opportunity to introduce a new writer, and also my very good friend, Effy! She is also the one who took those photos. She is going to be focusing on museum exhibitions, photographies, and other more fine arts related topics. We haven't really developed any specific ideas yet, but so far this is the case.

LOVE: Prabal Gurung for Target

I'm not promoting for Target, I genuinely think this collection is great.

Prabal Gurung is a Nepalese American Fashion Designer. He launched his first fashion show back in February 2009. His style is usually pretty, classy women's wear, but with his modern twist to it. Even though they are a bit more simple, with less prints and patterns, they are intricately constructed that makes his past collection edgy and stand out from the crowd.

So how will it look if Prabal Gurung collaborate with Target? I am assuming that since there is a certain price range for Target, Gurung will have to use more affordable resources than he is used to. How will the collaboration turns out with this limitation?

It turns out to be AWESOME!

Look at these patterns, and prints! The boldness and lightness of these looks are perfect for the upcoming spring and summer! 

My favorite looks are Look 2 for its versatility  Look 5's shorts' fun-ness, Look 7 for its edgy and spunkiness, Look 8 for its edgy femininity, and Look 9 for its sexiness.

The general Price range from around 15 to 35, with occasional items such as leather jacket or blazers that cost more than 40 bucks. In general, a pretty good deal for such a high-fashion, ready-to-wear looks.

Below are the selected looks from the collection. 

This collection will be released on February 10th!! Be Pumped!! It's released limitedly so be prepared to snatch some clothes!!
