Actress and stylemaker Eva Longoria has joined forces with JCPenney to unveil her first home collection, Eva Longoria Home. During a press preview earlier this month, I got to check out pieces from the collection, which currently includes beautiful bedding and window treatments featuring global-inspired prints. There's Marrakech in a palette of graphic black and white, Adana, a Mediterranean escape of rich shades of coastal blue and crisp whites, and Mireles, reminiscent of Spanish tiles in soft gray, yellow and white.

Typically after scoping out a big designer collab launch, I wander around Target and find plenty of other items to waster...er...spend my money on instead. Oftentimes I'll find clothing and even housewares that's reminiscent of the designer collab, but at lower pricepoints. This was definitely the case yesterday when I spotted the Summer Prep Decor Collection in a palette of hot pink, navy white and gold, with a nautical beachy theme, it reminded me of Lilly Pulitzer - and may even be cuter! Highlights include a lobster throw pillow, sea urchin sculpture and gold coral figurine. Totally Instagram worthy! Everything's priced from $9.99-$99.99 and is an additional 10% off online with code VIP. Browse 25+ in-store pics after the jump!

Subdued hues like powder blue and blush pink are no longer reserved for nurseries and children’s bedrooms; they're making a comeback in a big way especially in fun new patterns and textures. To keep the color and space from looking too twee, keep the palette neutral and stick to one pastel hue as your accent color. Pastels work really well with warm greys, taupes, and white. Start with this neutral palette and add your color of choice to bring life to the space. The pastel trend can easily be worked into a shabby chic, modern, and even Scandinavian inspired interiors, so don't shy away from bringing these versatile hues home.
