Prabal Gurung for Target

source Target

 I'm a little late....

Target has ANOTHER collaboration. This time it's with Prabal Gurung. I was really impressed with his runway show at NYFW seen HERE however, his offering for Target I absolutely unequivocally CAN NOT STAND! Take a look for yourself  HERE Blech! *vomit noises*

What do you think?

Did you buy anything?

His runway show was edgy. His collab with Target is flowers.. lots and lots of flowers. I don't really like flowers. It has to be really special for me to like flowers. This is not. I'm trying to get away from using the word HATE but yeah... I hate this collab. The two lines are like night and day. More than that... like Space and an ugly garden.

Every fashion blogger has at least one piece from the line and many were geeked about this dress. Just... No! *eyeroll*

I just have one question..where's the bike Prabal? Huh? Where is the bike?

Target + Neiman Marcus

Target and Neiman Marcus collaborated for a pretty decent launch of designer items. I love to shop at Target and I LOVE shopping at Neiman Marcus so I was pretty curious to see what they came up with.

Then I forgot about it.  hence no post. *shrugs*

I wasn’t very interested in the launch after I saw a preview of the items in October I think.
I love many of the designers featured, but nothing really moved me.

 Then I took a second look...

Of course it was this weekend after all the fashion bloggers where posting their fabulous finds. I figured what the heck… if I were to buy anything it would be ...

This Alice and Olivia bike.

It is super cute! But after the fiasco with the Missoni bike I can’t even let my heart want this. Yes, I am STILL talking about that!

Altuzarra Tray I really like this tray. If I buy anything it will be this.

Altuzarra Shaker and glasses shown above.

Diane von Furstenberg Yoga Mat 

Jason Wu Ornaments - Set of 3 . Did you hear the great news about Jason Wu? He is taking over the helm at Balenciaga.

Derek Lam Skateboard

Do I skateboard? No. Do I need a skateboard? No. Do I want it because it's Derek Lam? Yes.

Proenza Schouler iPad Sleeve. I like this design team.

Philip Crangi Frame

 
Carolina Herrera Stationery Set

Rodarte Wrapping Paper

 
Band of Outsiders Cookie Cutter. Bandz to Make Her Dance was playing in my mind when I wrote this.

Overall Target + Neiman Marcus have some really cute pieces and if I were really into it… and I mean really. I would’ve been at the stores on opening day. What kind of bugs me is  some of the designs and the patterns of some of the items. Some things look cheap and who would really want to buy that? #justmyopinion

Did you go?

What did you get? 

Do tell!

FREESTYLE FRIDAYS: FASHION, FOOD, FITNESS OR FACT

 Introducing Freestyle Fridays - Fashion, Food, Fitness or Fact. 

I plan to discuss fashion. It will probably be about something I've already bought, something I want, or it could be a great fashion find for you. Food will be a fine dining restaurant experience, fitness will be exercise I have completed for the week if it's blog worthy and fact will be a story past or present from my life. I hope you enjoy!

This first post is of course about Fashion:
I received a JcPenney's gift card for Christmas. I have a love/hate relationship with this store, but I may have never told ya'll this but I can find something to buy at ANY store I find myself in. It's a sickness! LOL!

This year Penney's (as we call it) had a pretty awesome MLK sale so I was determined to use my gift card. I bought this wonderful golden blouse regularly $50.00 for 15 bucks!  SCORE!!

I may do something about the sleeves but this will be great for the holidays this year. I plan to pair it with dark denim jeans, cream slacks or patterned leggings and some sky high heels.

This week my fashion find for you is at ShoeBox NY They are currently having an AWESOME sale on designer shoes. The best bargain is on the Vince Camuto shoes for as low as $25.00!! You can't beat that with a stick! Happy Shopping!

I bought both of these for $25 each with $8.00 shipping

Treat yo'self- YSL

I took a trip over to P.S. I love this blog and she had a post up about some uber fabulous YSL shoes. That post inspired me.  She has  such exquisite tastes...just check out her blog! We like so many of the same things. I told her that I am in love with the YSL statement rings. She has one, and is thinking of purchasing another.  She told me to treat myself. I think that's a really good idea! From time to time everyone should treat themselves to the things they think are beautiful!

Santa could also recheck his list and decide to gift me with one also! LOL! While perusing the site I saw a few other swoon worthy items that I liked.

I really need a lottery to payoff or a man with unlimited funding to find me soon. LOL! Because I want EVERYTHING!

Versace for H&M

It's that time of year again!! H&M is premiering a designer line. This year it's VERSACE! Yes that's right the famed Donatella, sister of the late Gianni Versace is gracing H&M with affordable clothes for the masses. The line debuts November 17th at H &M stores. The line boasts ninety items and H&M is billing the Versace line as the "Iconic Collection."

According to InStyle,"The label’s classic sexy, bright, vibrant, and metallic look is interpreted through printed pants, silk dresses, costume jewelry and even patterned pillows ranging from $20 to $300."

I personally think the Versace Couture line can be loud and ostentatious, especially the home collections. However, there are a few appealing items in the Fall collection seen HERE

The H&M line has a similar appeal. If you like studs and color, this is the line for you!  
InStyle Magazine (a fave) has 69 items of the Versace for H&M collection for your viewing pleasure! Seen HERE Enjoy!

Of course I had to include my must haves wants from the collection.  Some pics are from the look book and others from InStyle, so excuse the repeats.

same dress so church worthy lol

I LOVE this skirt!

Mild interest I would need to see it on

nice necklace me kinda likey

As you can see I like the studded clothing and totally want to get my rocker chick on!

 Here is the link to Versace for H &M    Are you excited to see this line?
