Marimekko x Ikea’s Bastua Collaboration in Person
How’s the quality of the new Marimekko x Ikea collaboration? I visited Ikea to find out — and took a few things home.

I did quite a bit in shopping in May, mostly to shore up my summer wardrobe, which was pretty flimsy.
Hello from the land of slow Internet. I’m away on a trip (not for fun), which I packed lightly for. Here’s my travel capsule wardrobe, plus an update on what I bought and decluttered last month.
Target is celebrating 20 years of its Design for All program by bringing back some of its greatest hits this weekend. This is not a post about how groundbreaking Target was, though. It’s about how I got caught up in the shopping craze.
When I heard that Marimekko was collaborating with Uniqlo, I got excited. These are two brands I love — together!
I tried on more Victoria Beckham for Target. Part 2 of my review. You know how in my first Victoria Beckham for Target review I said I was trying to be good and not buy anything from the collection unless I really, really loved it? That didn’t last very long.
A review of Victoria Beckham for Target, including sizing tips and fitting room photos. I’m trying to be stricter and not fall for the collab FOMO frenzy. In the early morning of April 9th, when Victoria Beckham’s Target line went live on the website, I calmly ordered just one dress in two sizes. (Shout out to the Target website folks. It all went smoothly this time.) I didn’t get to a brick-and-mortar Target store until the afternoon. But by that time, I’d already seen photos on social media of people with their #VBxTarget haul. It made me wish I had bought more to try on.
Oh Joy! has had a housewares line at Target for a few years now. They’re always brightly colored and playful, in keeping with Joy Cho’s happy aesthetic. I don’t think I could do a whole house or room with Oh Joy (it’s a bit too much for me), but I do admire some of the pieces in her 2017 spring collection.
I was pretty excited when I found out that Dwell Magazine was doing a collaboration with Target. I love Dwell’s pages of aspirational, modern homes. And of course I have long loved Target for its low-cost, stylish decor. They made perfect sense together.
