Playful Palette of Blinging Things @ Target

erickson-beamon-look_09

Here comes Target with its low-cost fashion solutions – again.

This time, they’re partnering with accessory designers Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon.

The latest project is a limited-edition jewelry collection.

It’s called Erickson Beamon for Target.

Available at select Target locations and online at Target.com, you’ll find the vibrant statement pieces in stores until June 26.

I just love the bursts of color, and the bright, playful palette that’s arrived just in time for spring.

Price points? We’re told $15.99 to $59.99.
