Beauty Blog » Wrap it Up: The Perfect Beauty Routine Bathrobe

Many of you may be Target freaks like myself.  They have everything you need for everything!  The price points are pretty cheap with the exception of the slowly rising prices of the GO collections that feature different designers.  That stuff is actually gettin’ pretty expensive which is unfortunate.   Upon a recent trip (the purpose of which was to return my very expensive dress that was part of the latest GO collection, designed by Tracy Fieth) I knew I wanted a store credit due to the fact that I was in need of some cheapie cosmetics including some liquid liner, blush and lip balm.  Target’s perfect for this stuff! So, I take my $30 credit and start browsing every aisle, not being discriminatory in the least.  After surveying my basket, which included $6 pillowcases which were 250 thread count, a $13 eco-friendly Blue Sage and Aloe candle–which smelled fantastic and looked pretty, I happened to check out the “pajama/sportswear” area and found what has now become my favorite bathrobe in the whole world.  Literally!!! Gilligan & O’Malley is a label that you’ve seen at Target for what seems like forever.  It also used to grace the racks at Mervyn’s when it still existed. An inexpensive, quality brand that sells pretty intimates and things.  I was drawn to a rack of white and baby blue cotton nighties and robes that were under 20 bucks.   The robe was super soft cotton, with long sleeves, and a perfectly short length for humid/hot summer mornings.  I was in love! I searched the Target website in search of the exact same one in order to share it with you, but only found one that looks almost exactly like it, except this one is a baby blue and white paisley instead of my baby blue and white floral.  Same price, same super soft cotton.

Gilligan O’Malley Woven Robe: $19.99

This robe also comes in white for all you purists out there.  I’ve been wearing mine every morning.  I feel so glamorous and girly in it, and its definitely made my beauty routine more fun.  One of the best parts about it I think is not only the softness and simplicity of it, but the fact that its so lightweight for warm mornings.  When it’s hot, and you’ve just gotten out of a warm shower, and then have to turn on a warm air blowing hair dryer…the last thing I wanna do is put on a heavy chenille or terrycloth robe–although these are awesome.  The print is a more mature floral too and not all bright pink with dogs and college logos.  When I wear my robe now, I don’t feel like I’m in a shared bathroom at a college dorm which is oh so nice…
