Ooh La La Orla Kiely!

Or I could have said Orla la(I know cheesy)! Okay so she's not French, she's an Irish, London based designer lol, but couldn't help myself! I saw her stuff at Target and just about died right there! I couldn't believe they are carrying her stuff! She makes awesome stuff and I love her prints and colors. She's a vintage retro style textile designer and I love retro anything! I drove around all week trying to find the retro 60's pop art style pear and apple 2 tier buffet server. All week I looked and no luck until today. We went over to the District in Tustin and we stopped in Target and there were not one, but two of these cute servers sitting there. Jonathan thought it was cute too and told me to grab the bowl too! He's so sweet!:) I guess her collection for Target was launched in January. Don't know where I have been b/c I never saw it there until last week. I had given up hope in finding my cute little 2 tier server. I'm so happy I had to share with everyone lol!









Here's some info on the designer:


Orla Kiely first got her start in 1993, after being commissioned by high-end London department store Harrods for a line of hats. Since then, Kiely's bold and recognizable graphic prints have helped her make a name for herself in the fashion and design world. Her most recent venture is an affordable line for Target, that launched the first of February. The line features all sorts of home goods, from aprons to tumblers and dinnerware. She makes purses and clothes too!

    antique shops. I'll keep my eyes open. Luv u guys.
