Target's spring designer collection just dropped in stores and online this past Saturday, April 15th. There are 3 designers featured, RHODE, Agua Bendita and Fe Noel. These are in order of which designers' lines I like the most to the least. RHODE co-founders Purna Khatau and Phoebe Vickers believe in dressing for the fun you want to have. With vibrant designs that offer a sense of carefree confidence, RHODE brings its timeless, globally inspired prints and silhouettes to this limited-time collection. Fueled by a deep love of their native Colombia, friends Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza co-founded the energetic fashion brand Agua Bendita. With an earthy, beach-to-street vibe, the pieces in this spring collection reflect the ancestral heritage of Colombia and the power of femininity. Deeply influenced by her Grenadian heritage and close-knit family, designer Felisha “Fe” Noel infuses her designs with the underlying philosophy to “Make Life Beautiful.” The NYC-based designer has created easy-yet-special silhouettes punctuated with bold prints and fiery pops of color.
The Display I Created At My Store For This Collection
My first ever designer collection I did all by myself as a VM, and yes, I do Visual's for Target now. I have been keeping that to myself and had not shared that with all of you until now.
Look #1 {RHODE}
Price is $25
100% Cotton
Square Neckline
Wearing a size small, true to size.
I love this crop top on me. It fits perfectly. No need to size up or down. I love this fun floral pattern and these spring colors too.
Overall, 10/10. This is my favorite piece from the collection. You could wear this crop top with a simple white skirt or denim shorts if you do not want to wear the whole set together.
Price is $30
100% Cotton
Midi Length
Full Waistband Elastic
Wearing a size small, sizing off.
This skirt is also adorable for spring and summer. My one issue is that the sizing is off on me. The medium was way too big in the waist and then the small was a little tight in the butt area. Neither size's fit me perfectly.
Overall, 8/10. This skirt would be a perfect 10 if the sizing wasn't off. I bought both the crop top and the skirt. I am unsure about keeping the skirt now.
Look #2 {Agua Bendita}
Price is $32
100% Rayon
Mini Length
Square Neckline
28.5 Inches for total length
Side Zipper
Kay is wearing a size small, and it runs big on her.
If your height is 5'3 or below, I recommend sizing down, as this dress was falling off of her. Very cute pattern and colors. Gives summer vacation vibes in Europe.
Overall, 9/10. I wouldn't purchase this dress as it is made of Rayon, and I know Rayon will shrink. A great piece for the upcoming season though.
Price is $15
Frame is 50% Recycled Plastic
Cateye Shape
51 Millimeter (H) X 140 Millimeter (W) X 150 Millimeter (L)
UV protection to help keep your eyes protected from harmful sun rays. These sunglasses are designed with brown lenses in a cream-hued scalloped frame with brown accents. Very cute!
Look #3 {Fe Noel}
Price is $32
100% Recycled Polyester
Long Sleeve, Front Button Down
Banded Collar, Crew Neckline
Wearing a size small, true to size.
This button-down shirt features mixed vertical stripe print in orange, brown and peach hues. It's designed with a casual fit, and the below-waist length allows you to wear it tucked in or untucked.
Overall, 8/10. These colors are wild. This shirt would make a great beach cover up or casual work look though. Buttons are not my thing.
Price is $38
55% Linen & 45% Rayon
Midi Length
V-Neck Neckline
37.5 Inches for total length
Inside Pockets
Wearing a size small, true to size. Wow, this is a really bright orange. Not sure if I like it or not. These bows are so unique and fun.
Overall, 8/10. This color is too bright for me, and I noticed the fabric below the bow where my stomach is does not sit straight. I do not know if that is just for this dress, or if they all are like this.
Price is $15
Frame is 50% Recycled Plastic
Cateye Shape
54 Millimeter (H) X 152 Millimeter (W) X 150 Millimeter (L)
UV protection to help shield your eyes from the sun's rays. These sunglasses are designed with cream-colored cat-eye lens. Another cute pair.

That is my Target Spring Designer Collection Review for 2023. All of these pieces are so cute for spring and summer; however, I couldn't actually pull the trigger on anything except for that matching set from RHODE. The sizing was a little off for me, as it usually is with these designer collections Target does. I still always love reviewing them for all of you. They are just so much fun to look at and try on.
Xoxo,
