Oh Joy! A Fabulous New Party Collection for Target

We were recently invited to attend a Spring celebration event for a special viewing of the new Oh Joy! Party Collection for Target - 1 of 3 exclusive party collections Target collaborated on with top Pinterest pinners including Jan Halvarson, co-founder of the design blog Poppytalk, and Kate Arends, the creative mind behind lifestyle blog Wit & Delight.

We appropriately dressed for the occasion in the latest duds from Target’s most recent designer collaborations. Joanna, rocked the head to toe spring floral trend in Sarah Stevenson for Target, and Yussie donned a figure flattering, perfect for spring dress from the Peter Pilotto collection.  

But enough about us! The oh-so-cute party collection was amazing! It’s the perfect outdoor dining set that will make future get-togethers easy to plan, but will also make your set up look effortlessly fabulous!

The founder and creative director of Oh Joy! is a blogger, designer and Pinterest aficionado, Joy Cho, and her passion for pattern and color really come through in her designs for this particular collection.

“I drew inspiration for my collection from the summery colours that surround me in Los Angeles, and from the kinds of patterns I love to mix and match on a daily basis.”

The event was completely set up using all her collection pieces and we died for all of them. We could not get enough of the amazing color palette of coral and teal with a touch of gold that added an extra element of chic to every item! Take a look below for some of our favourite pieces (warning; we loved everything so get ready for picture overload lol).

Loved these unique rectangular shaped paper dinner plates with fun patterns and the colorful napkins with scalloped edges. (it's all in the details!)

Serve in style with this matching melamine serving tray and fun paper cups and straws.

These pitchers are super chic with their stand out golden handles.

Keep your drinks cold with this nice ice bucket,  and super cool, layered juice cube tray that the kids would definitely enjoy!

Use this European water bottle to put your water on ice, and don't get your drinks mixed up with this cute multi-colored set of gold rimmed goblets.

It's not a party unless there is cake! Keep it fresh in this Cake Stand with fun cake topper/stir sticks.

Light up the night with super cute strands of color-dipped mini lanterns. The best part? They are battery packed so you can put them anywhere from your gazebo to the fence.

Add that extra splash of gold glam to every table with this jumbo gold confetti!

At the end of the night, you can pack it all up in this fabulous reusable tote bag, until your next party or shopping spree!

Even the trash bags have style!

Don’t you just love everything about this collection? We cannot wait for some nicer weather (it is coming soon, we hope!), so we can plan a backyard party and have the opportunity to blow our guests away with some of these super cute pieces. They are perfect for spring and summer parties, get togethers, or just every day outdoor dining if you’re the type of person who spends every evening out on the back patio enjoying every last minute of the warmer weather.

The collection is available in store now for a limited time only, so ladies, make sure you head over to Target and grab some of your favourite pieces now!

Also be sure to keep an eye out for the following Summer collection - Poppytalk, coming out at the end of June.

Isaac Mizrahi x Kleenex

You know a brand is a true innovator with a long standing history in the industry when the Products they created are more often referred to by Brand Name rather than their actual name. Like Kleenex! (Does anyone really just ask for a facial tissue?). 

Well, this year the Kleenex brand is celebrating their 90th anniversary! And to commemorate this amazing milestone, the brand is elevating its passion for design by partnering with fashion designer, Isaac Mizrahi to introduce four new and unique designs to the Kleenex Expressions line of products! 

“Innovation has been a critical element to my personal success as a designer and something that is at the crux of the Kleenex brand and its design philosophy,” said Mizrahi. “The brand has an impressive history of design and it’s an honor to be included in the celebration of this important moment in time."

As a staple, in just about everyone’s homes, Kleenex has often pulled design inspirations from trends in home décor, but for a change, these fresh new Kleenex designs by Mizrahi are driven by the latest trends in fashion!  

I love that the outside design of each Kleenex box is just as important to the brand as the quality of the product itself, because they know that we want designs that will fall seamlessly into our home décor look or that speak to our own personal style. Who knew cleaning the makeup off your face after a long day, or wiping the boogers off your kid’s runny nose could be so fashionable?

These fresh new contemporary designs are perfect for spring if you want to add that seasonal touch to your home and also offers us fashion-lovers an affordable, high-quality designer accessory that we can enjoy on the daily.

The new designs have already started rolling out to stores this month, so be on the lookout the next time you go shopping!

Which is your favourite design?
