Add a definite little something-something to your look with the “Helter Skelter” collection from Toujours Toi. The Spring/Summer ‘08 selection from Toujours Toi by Nina Egli is a kalidescope of vibrant colors and is described as:

“HELTER SKLETER” wants to party with you on rooftops and in the garden, have you take rockets to outer space and become rainbow warriors

It’s all about being alive, being positive and loud!
it’s about putting yourself out there in all your crazy colors!
It’s about taking a leap, diving from a cliff, falling in love again
and laughing your ass off. It’s a never before seen mix of fake bamboo
beads, real crystals, neon feathers, planet charms paired with black,
silver and golden chains.

I would described the collection as a Peter Max painting come to life with a touch of bamboo, can you dig it? I certainly can. So get with it and peep the complete collection after the jumpity jump!

After that Hollywould nonsense, Target owes us this latest accessory collaboration.Joy Gryson, former director of design and development of handbags and accessories for Marc Jacobs and the burgeoning queen of downtown chic with her own line, will be the next the next high-end designer to team up with the mass retailer, joining the ranks of Devi Kroell, Hollywould, Dominique Cohen, Rafé, and, most recently, Loeffler Randall.People can expect to see the collection of accessories in stores sometime in 2008.I’m super excited about this! I’m picturing a few cute totes and satchels with Gryson’s signature hardware and beautiful detailing. You know, one of those effortlessly chic bags that you don’t have to think about while running errands.Let’s see, Pierre Hardy and Gryson are both making an affordable line for the masses next year. I couldn’t think of a better year to be a college student on a budget!Source

How fabulous is this pink patent tote by Lanvin?Bold color is huge this Fall, and what better a piece to brighten up your bag wardrobe than with this pretty-in-pink tote. All of the handbags and shoes that Alber Elbaz has presented us with this season have been completely snob-worthy, and I can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeves for Spring!Sure. This is a very trendy bag and it will probably be out of style next season, but how do you pass on something as charming and sweet as this? The detachable charm and chain handle are so adorable, and they really spruce up a rather simple design. Since it’s 13 x 15, you’ll have quite a bit of room for keys, cell phone, ipod, and whatever else you need to get you by throughout the day.At Barneys $1600.Source

Target is not just tapping clothing designers for their GO International collections, but they’re also collaborating with accessories designers. Last week Target released a preview of Devi Kroell’s handbags and clutches and I have to say they’re very promising. Though, they’re not real python (polyurethane)…they look pretty damn good!

This collection debuts on July 15th alongside Libertine, the prices range from $19.99 to $49.99, crazy good deal. Besides clothing and handbags, fine jeweler Dominique Cohen is up next in August with rings, necklaces and brooches at a fraction of the price of her own line. Wow so many endless designer collaborations…I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it! So excited, keep your eyes peeled! via nitro:licious.

Peep the preview here.
