In our dream world, we would have a place for multiple pendant lights in every single room and these are the ones we’d like to start with! Fun, eh? :)

Well, it’s that time again…the little ones are headed back to school with their backpacks full of new supplies. Why should the big kids get left out, especially when backpacks are so trendy right now?

Kiddo packs (clockwise): Transportation Multi Backpack, Monkey Zoo Pack, Boys Rucksack, EcoPack, Elephant Backpack, Frog Backpack

Backpacks for the young at heart (clockwise): Backpack in Sea, Striped Fleece Backpack, Pop Quiz Backpack, Belar Backpack and Shoulder Bag, SuperBreak Pack, Waxed Canvas Backpack

That’s right, we’re feeling a bit blue over here at Ampersand: aqua + royal blue, that is! We are loving this combo of monochromatic brights! It can be done SO many different ways…so we just thought we’d throw out some ideas :) From top left, going clockwise: 1. Turquoise bauble necklace, 2. rainy day bow ballet flats, 3. Rachel Roy layered blouse & skirt, 4. Bixby clutch , 5. kate spade large faceted clip earrings, 6. J Brand mid rise skinny leg jeans in bright royal, 7. Essie: “Turquoise & Caicos” nail polish, 8. B Low the belt Jerry skinny belt
And the last image is from Kendi Everyday, a super fun and girly fashion blog that you should check out!

on the lookout: missoni for target 08.11.2011

>

Just in case you hadn’t heard, come September 13, the Missoni for Target line will be released!! ( I will be the first one in line at the Target front door, rest assured)! Twenty images of the collection were just leaked and we are sharing some of them here, but it’s only leaving us wanting more, more, MORE! So, good thing Target is actually going to be carrying about 400 pieces of this line–it practically touches all departments! There will be bedding, dishes, pillows, baby stuff, clothing including swimwear, luggage and the list goes on…not to mention the bike! Ahhh, the bike-how cool is that? Anyway…let the countdown begin!
