We’ve put together a $1,700 bag of swag for 11 lucky Smarties to win! So no snoozing at the wheel here, you need to log onto CSP every single day – or you’ll miss out on the fun.
Today we present…
Gretchen Scott Designs
From the minute I laid eyes on my first Gretchen Scott tunic, I was a smitten kitten. Her bright colors just make me happy all day long. Her tunics are the perfect choice to pair with your favorite white jeans. This has turned into my hip new momiform that I am proud to sport daily in carpool, PTA meetings, girls nights out, business meetings, beach cover-up, the list goes on. Gretchen’s tunics and dresses go with everything and transition from day to night seamlessly.
I absolutely adore Gretchen’s mantra:
LAUGH MORE.. GRIPE LESS.. IGNORE CRITICS.. SAY YES.. ORDER DESSERT.. LOVE LIFE..
Finding inspiration from her travels across the world, Gretchen’s’ designs reflect a global perspective. “India is a big part of what I design. The Indian sense of color, proportion and incredible embroidery is amazing. Gretchen travels there often. Indian simplicity informs even the most complicated design elements. Hand printed, festive fabrics and vibrant inks define Gretchen Scott Designs’ look. Our colors are true and often times intense.”
Enjoy this Lookbook of a recent trip and photoshoot in India.

LOVE the Cotton Long Embroidered Nightgown.
I know so many beautiful choices! Why Nightgown?
It is always nice (rarely) to come home, take a long hot bath and put on a wonderful nightgown (not from Target).
Spray the sheets with lavender mist and have a goodnight sleep.
It looks like you could use it even as beach cover up too.
Too many to choose from. Like the Fiesta Tier, but would also love a dress.
I love them all but the navy va va voom is something I would wear all summer with white jeans!
Love these designs – would have a hard time narrowing down what I would want!
Love the Cotton Ikat Tunic Dress!
I am smitten with the tunics too! How to choose…but I’d likely go with the Ricky Rack Tunic because it is so versatile for everyday wear and the The Goa because I just love its thin, breeziness for summer days at the pool or beach.
The pick pool coverup!
Anything mommy/me in hot pink. It’s my little girls favorite color!
I LOVE the Pulley Dress or the basic cotton in Jim Morrison orange! So cute!!!!
Soooo hard to decide, but here are a few that caught my eye: Liz shirt (love the story/cause), silk party skirt, silk tie neck top, beyond the beyond and the ricky rack tunic. However, the picture that had me drooling was the jewelry kiosk in India. Looks awesome!
I would choose the white eyelit dress

Hard to choose but if I had to pick a few they would be the gingham classic blouse, The Goa and the Classic V Neck Tunic in Peace Lime!

I love these so much, but have my eye on the cotton va va voom.
