Bling It On: Erickson Beamon for Target
Today I opened up some magazine’s March issue and looking back at me was an ad for Erickson Beamon for Target.
Wait just a second…Erickson Beamon created a collection for Target?! How did I miss this?!
Anyway, back in the days of my first and only fashion internship, I spent hour upon hour identifying, writing up, checking back, re-labeling and assisting with the merchandising of Erickson Beamon jewelry at Showroom Seven/Seventh House PR. Twisted Sister and Chain Reaction were two of the groups I can still remember and I now own several EB brooches (yes, I’m just like Michelle Obama) and I think perhaps a bracelet.
Erickson Beamon is known for taking things over-the-top – way over the top. Think mounds of pearls, cascading crystals, bling bling bling as far as the eye can see. Definitely fun to wear on a wild night out!
The collection will be available online at Target.com beginning February 15th, but is apparently out in some stores already!
Want the “real” stuff? Shop the Seventh House Showroom Sample Sale now through Friday, Feb 20th from 10am-7pm (excluding Sundays) at 263 11th Avenue, 3rd floor, between 27th & 28th Streets. EB will be available as wholesale costs or less, as will Orla Kiely, Issa, Charlotte Ronson, and more!

Speaking of Target… I bought the block and tan Thakoon dress (on sale!) and wore it to work on Monday. I can believe how flattering the cut was. It even had a mid-sixties sort of feel to it. Wowza!
Can’t wait to check out this collection. You know how I feel about over-the-top brooches. Now… if only Betsy Johnson would do a collection for them! Than my life will be complete.
