New John Derian Thanksgiving for Target

John Derian Thanksgiving Collection 


Just launched - the newest John Derian Thanksgiving Collection for Target. His collection last year was wildly popular. 

Designer John Derian has a passion for vintage illustration, drawn to 18th and 19th century imagery of the natural world. Collaborating with Target in a limited-time collection, these gorgeous and giftable pieces are sure to find a favored place at any holiday celebration.

John Derian is an American decoupage artist and designer living in New York City whose aesthetic encapsulates a curious mix of natural oddities, antiques and eccentricities.

John Derian has been sharing his passion for beautiful, yet functional products as part of the Target family for over a decade. His one-of-a-kind, unique taste and sense of humor made him the perfect partner to bring joy to this year’s Thanksgiving celebrations.

Venice, Florida

I was so very fortunate. I got power back in less than 24 hours. By the time I retuned from Miami, the house was 72 degrees, internet, water, and cell phone back. I have a full tank of gas. My gardeners came and picked up the entire yard yesterday except for the downed tree which my HOA will pay for since the tree is from the preserves and not my property. At least Florida really does know how to respond to hurricanes.

The Black Watch Cape & Back Home

Black Watch India Cape

 
I made it back safely from Miami yesterday. I do not see any damage to my home, thank God. I'm so incredibly relieved. My garden is a hot mess, including a massive oak tree that came down from the preserves in the back but did not hit my house. If it had, it would have been catastrophic.

The Gold Jacket

Marvelous Rockefeller Jacket

I love a gold jacket for the holidays. It is wonderful paired with black pants or layered over a dress or paired with a skirt. Such a dressy and versatile piece. Here are some favorites I have my eye on.
