Shea sells seashells by the seashore. How’s that for a tongue twister? By Shea, we, of course, mean McGee, and by seashore, we mean Target. Her latest drop flirts with last summer’s biggest trend – only now, these shells are here to host.
Shea kicks off the new collection's decidedly social agenda with a portable table lamp disguised as a conch shell – which, believe it or not, might be the best host’s accessory of the summer. It passes as a pretty paperweight (something in the vicinity of a Judith Leiber clutch) until the sun sets and you switch it on, the shell lighting from within. There’s no doubting its sculptural presence, but it’s also a surprisingly practical party trick, illuminating the table as insurance against any late-night, elbow-led margarita mishaps.
