Victoria Beckham X Target Collection | Review

Target is known for providing its customers with affordable fashion.  The discount retailer has made collaborations with various clothing designers and the recent in-store collection was Victoria Beckham for Target.

Victoria Beckham is a sought after businesswoman and fashion designer.  She’s known for her sophisticated and minimalistic style.  What’s really interesting about Victoria is that she was introduced as a Spice Girl and can be seen with her kids carrying a Hermes handbag.

Victoria Beckham X Target Collection Review:

In true blogger fashion I wanted to view the collection for myself.  I must admit that Target is meticulous about placing their top-selling brands near the front of the store.  The retailer in my region displayed the One-Shoulder Dress, Mint Green Lace Bomber, and Collared Dress.  Every item was well categorized; placing the activity books and kids apparel near the designer collection.

From viewing the collection (in-store) each piece was well-made and used quality fabrics.  There were no deformities in terms of darts, zippers and stitching.  The patterns were perfect for the season with florals and scallops.

I have one suggestion that clothing pieces are created for petite sizing such as sleeves, hems, and pants length. Also, some of the items were above Target pricing. For example, the Bug Bomber Jacket was $70.00 and Cali Lily Top/Pants (purchased together) was $70.00 and above.

Special thank you to Victoria Beckham and Target for showcasing diverse models.  The collection also provided pieces in the plus size department.

Get the Look: Romantic Spring 2017 Fashion

Romance is a word that has existed for some time now. It blossomed during the period of Romanticism, where literature, art, music and philosophies were produced under the header of this notion of love. There are the Romance languages, incorporating Latin, French, Italian and even Romanian, so we can understand that it’s been a bit of big deal for quite a while; how can we incorporate it into our everyday style?

Jewelry

There are some things that just don’t go out of style when it comes to romantic fashion, and timeless jewelry is one of them. If you buy pearl jewelry for example, you will be investing in something that will last for years, but also has a huge romantic history behind it; there are various poems which link up pearls and love, as pearls are meant to increase not only the love that you receive from others (it’s said that they are able to open up your heart to take in more), but the amount of self-love and praise that you can give to yourself. At a time where we are so critical of our body image, it’s important to be able to love yourself as much as you can – and if this involves splashing out on some new pearl earrings, a pearl necklace or a new ring, this is a great excuse.

Clothing

Fashion from the Romantic era is definitely coming back into trend, with the incorporation of lace onto outfits being the one thing that stands out from this Victorian style. If you want to take it into the modern day, hearts are the symbol of love that never fades away. Choose something cute and dainty that has a heart pattern on it – it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or too bold if that’s not what you want. There are certain color that emphasizes love and romance, and these are usually chosen for weddings i.e. the bridesmaids’ dresses and flower arrangements. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be worn outside of a wedding, as we would be extremely limited on what we would be able to wear! Pastels are a great choice.

Hair

Philosophers from the Romantic era emphasized the importance of emotional self-awareness, creativity and the freedom of expression in order to better us. They didn’t talk much about hair, but if they did it would probably share your hair needs to be free too, just like your thoughts and feelings. So unleash the bun, get out the detangler and let loose; your hair needs to be flowing as freely as it can. There are certain styles that you can mix and match up with, as plaits and braids can definitely add a certain je ne sais quois to long and letdown hair. Show your creativity and romantic side through the addition of these, and you are good to go – spread the love!
