Libertine Side Pocket Skirt in red and a little throwback to early Madonna Libertine Lace Ruffle Skirt in ebony

Ok, I’m not really much of a shopper these days. When I do go I like to get everything all at once, basically so I don’t have to go shopping for a while (my teenager self would not understand this) ~ but where I’m at in my life now, I’d rather be painting. Shopping takes time you know.

However, last week turned into a bit of a "back to school" shopping frenzy for me, and at Target of all places. I like to think of myself as more of an Anthropologie , Urban Outfitters kind of girl. But, since Erika came home with her new bermuda shorts from Libertine I was sold! That’s what you get when you have a fashion maven/model living next door to you. Have you heard of Libertine yet?

Quoted from their Label "Born out of a bicoastal fashion experiment between friends Cindy Greene and Johnson Hartig, Libertine has evolved to be one of the biggest fashion insider labels. Built on graphic prints and unexpected juxtapositions, Libertine is the last word in edgy elegance."

Libertine Embroidered Bermuda Shorts shown in Oxford Khaki, which I purchased in the Admiral Blue color shown in the short shorts version.

So there you have it, a new look "Edgy Elegance". All I can say is 4 clothing items later, they fit fantastic! (I also picked up an adorable white sleeveless top that I couldn’t find online - so I’ll have to photograph it for you if I’m feeling like taking the ol' "self-portrait shot") It’s all I can do now not to get the khaki, excuse me Oxford Khaki, whale/skull bermuda shorts too. Within a week they were almost sold out at all the LA surrounding Targets. (I know because, I’ve been to them all) If you feel inspired, it looks like you can find most of the pieces online too (psst. if you’re an adult just remember to buy up in sizes as they are "juniors"). Hey, it’s Target, you can afford to treat yourself!
