Mulberry for Target

Pebble Large Tote $49.99

Today was the release of the Mulberry for Target collection. Over all I liked the collection, I was not a fan of the patent bags, made the already cheap bags look cheaper. But I loved the large tote pictured above. I carry a lot of crap around so I need something that is large enough to hold it all.

Have you seen the collection? What do you think?

Sex in the City 2: The Carrie Dress

After seeing the below promo picture of the new Sex in the City movie, I knew I wanted a dress like that for summer. Knowing that Patricia Fields is the master mind behind the clothing worn by the girls. I started my search by going to her website.

Sure enough, I was not disappointed to find the Carrie Dress for sale on her site.
The problem is I did not want to spend $198 bucks on the dress. I also did not want it in white. So I decided to look for a similarly styled dress else where. My search lead me to Target and this dress:

Not the same dress but similar enough to satisfy me. It also helps that the dress is only $15 and it comes in different colors. I ended up getting a very pretty royal blue colored one and already wore it to the movies yesterday. I am still deciding on if I want the red one above or the pretty bright yellow one.

Target's up coming Designer Collaborations

What does Target, Laura Mulleavy and Kate Mulleavy have in common? Target Go International.

Yes, ladies and gents the sisters that make up the fashion label Rodarte will be teaming with Target to collaborate on a collection that is slated to drop in stores and online right in time for the Christmas Season. The collection will consist of 55 pieces, with prices ranging between $9.99 to $79.99.

I am trying to keep myself together and not go absolutely crazy with anticipation for the release of this collaboration, being that the Alexander McQueen collaboration with Target was a HUGE disappointment. I was so disappointed that I totally snoozed on the Tracy Feith collaboration.

I will not hold my breath thought I must admit I am a little excited. I think what will set the mood for me is when I see Anna Sui's collection when it hits Target on September 13th. Anna Sui's designs are to die for. Fun, girlie, a little sweet, a little bitter and even a little rock and roll. All my favorite design elements rolled into one. Can you tell I am a little excited for this too? I only hope I do not crash and burn again. *SIGH*

I leave you with some Rodarte and Anne Sui goodness.

Rodarte Fall RTW 2009:



Love it all! Can I please have one of each?

Anna Sui Fall RTW 2009:



Maybe if I wish for it hard enough I will find these pieces in my closet when I wake up in the morning?

Do you think the Target collaborations will be a hit or miss? Which one are you looking forward to?

By the way, the Rodarte collection for Target will hit stores and online on December 20th.

Ciao! xoxo
