PBTeen’s Newest Collection Is Spring Break Style Goals (Even for Grownups)
Spring Break is synonymous with palm trees and poolside cabanas—but you don’t have to jet off somewhere tropical to get the look. PBteen’s newest collection—from fashion stylists Emily and Meritt—is vacation goals, without ever leaving home.
The collection is inspired by iconic hotel decor and poolside playfulness, featuring lots of classic black and white, as well as blush hues and botanicals.
“We wanted to create a magical world that mixed classic prints with romantic colors, with a nod to vintage Palm Springs and wink of whimsy,” said Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. “We love the idea that Spring Break brings sunshine, style and happy moments, and we created everything from palm print blankets, to mermaid towels and polka dot suitcases to make it memorable.”
We can’t get enough botanicals these days, and the pair’s palm print is the perfect touch of leafy green and pale pink; It adorns everything from beach towels to throw blankets to pillow covers to wallpaper. If you’re in the market for stylish storage, look no further than the pyramid stud armoire—a statement piece if we ever saw one. And the lighting is spot on, style wise—a pineapple table lamp and a palm tree floor lamp both add some whimsy to a space.
There are gold-hued accessories for decking out your vanity, like jewelry storage and even a sunglasses stand. The collection also includes travel essentials like suitcases, carry ons, tote bags, and backpacks, so you can get to where you’re going in style.
Emily Current and Meritt Elliott have been a creative duo since 1999 and friends since college. The LA-based designers have also penned a book (A Denim Story) and their fashion line, THE GREAT, debuted in 2015.
Big brands have been tapping designers for stylish jetsetting collections as of late; Target just released Bri Emery of Designlovefest’s chic travel essentials this month.
