You know what they say: a picture speaks a thousand words. So I’m including thirteen of them! Yesterday was quite snowy. I spent a little bit of time walking around with Teddy in Central Park (these are amazing) and then hunkered down inside to get some serious work done before my trip to Caneel Bay. I had to go downtown for a quick meeting and it was so cold and windy and still flurrying that I decided to skip this event I had scheduled at night. Then I realized (thanks to Twitter) that it was the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collaboration launch and you better believe I threw on a cute outfit and cabbed to midtown to get a peek. (Can’t believe I almost missed it!)
It was like walking into paradise, for more than one reason. The whole showroom felt like Palm Beach! And let’s cut to the chase here… the collection is GOOD. Really, really good. See for yourself:
^^ That is a little girl bikini… with pom poms. I can’t handle it.
Here’s what you need to know:
– APRIL 19: The collection launches
– #LillyforTarget: The official hashtag
– @LillyforTarget: A fun Instagram account for the collection filled with sneak peeks and fun facts
– 250: The number of pieces in the collection (aka this is going to be huge), including clothing, accessories, and shoes for women (including plus size!!!!) and girls. Plus little things for the house, outdoor entertaining, the beach, and travel.
Omg, this is so exciting! Everything was so cute and agh, yes yes yes! So excited for spring, better save up for a few of those scarves. Have a great trip! http://www.figuringoutmyeverafter.com
I literally squealed out loud when I saw your snapchat last night! I am beyond excited for this collection! I already have April 19th marked on my calendar. My wallet will hate me that day, haha.
OMG! I screamed when I saw your post! I just wonder how the prices will be different? Target is pretty cheap, and definitely not quite on Lilly's level!
This has got to be one of the most exciting collaborations they've done yet in my opinion. Looks like the launch was fun and I can't wait to shop the collection!!
I am so excited for this collection. Sadly, I will be out of the country when its released and have already begged my mother to take me around target on FaceTime!
Mom and dad proof of life ✌🏻 Also, what a difference it makes having a baby that takes a bottle 🙏🏻 It felt WILD to me going out! Still figuring out pumping on the go, and still went back home to nurse overnight… but wow!
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)

I cannot wait! But, is it weird I'm actually stressed out about what a madhouse it's going to be trying to get anything?!!?
OMG! I screamed when I saw your post! I just wonder how the prices will be different? Target is pretty cheap, and definitely not quite on Lilly's level!
I'm glad you went and am able to see some pictures besides on the IG account.
I'll be there the day it opens, obv., but I wonder how Mrs. Pulitzer would feel about the collaboration.
thanks for sharing the photos carly, this collection looks darling!
