Black Plastic

The Temperly for Target thumbnails are up, and aside from the fact that most of the looks are an exercise in banality, I'm loving the gamine-chic vibe of these cropped pants, and the swanky, swing coat-line of this sweater/belt combination. Alas, I'm not too excited for the rest of the collection, which seems to consist of drab babydoll dresses, strangely cut skirts, and one black and white printed sweater that is a total assault on the senses.



But perhaps even more dissappointing is the Devi Kroell for Target collection. Kroell's sumptuous accessories are reliant on exotic, expensive, beautiful materials. Without those resources, these simple shapes and colors just fall flat. They're made of cheap plastic, and they look like it. I love Kroell's main line, but this diffusion collection is really bland.
