Sneak Peek! Celia Birtwell for Express

There are so many high-low designer collaborations these days, I can hardly keep track of them all. But girl am I glad I didn't let the Celia Birtwell for Express one slip through the cracks. Her '60s-inspired prints are just what I need right now. The sweet floral patterns adorning tie-front blouses and airy dresses are a nod to the past but they feel current. I'm definitely making a stop at my local Express this weekend, and I recommend you do the same!

On Our Radar: Express Begins a Designer Collaboration

Target does it, so does H&M. Now, Express is throwing their hat into the guest designer ring by collaborating with British textile designer Celia Birtwell, who also works with Topshop.

Birtwell is bringing her bohemian aesthetic to Express with four mini-collections, the first of which debuts on April 7 and includes two chiffon blouses in six different prints ($80) and one silk dress (left) in two different prints ($128).

The second collection will appear in July and likely include more of Birtwell's '70s-inspired, flowy prints. Another one for the shopping list!
