Target’s newest fashion collaboration comes just in time for summer. The mega-chain has paired up with easy-breezy resort-wear company Calypso St. Barth for an island-inspired capsule collection.

Encompassing apparel and accessories for women, girls and babies -- in addition to a clutch of home furnishings -- the collection includes printed maxi dresses, sweet little shorts, classic tunics and a array of knee-length sundresses, from off-the-shoulder to strapless beach-coverup styles.

We’re eyeing one of the sporty beach totes available in the collection, featuring graphics and prints that recall the swingin’ St.Tropez scene in the 1960s.

Ranging in price from $1.99 to $79.99, the collection will be available May 1 through June 11 at all Target stores and at Target.com.

The line will also include a selection of petite and plus-size looks -- a long-overdue add-on, considering how many collabs Target has done over the years that have been sized down slightly for juniors, including the Alexander McQueen and Rodarte team-ups.
