TODAY IN THE CLOSET: NEW DESIGNER COLLABS

There's news! Once again some top designers, (and an actress), have felt the need to offer the masses, (that's us), their fashion inspiration.  Halle Berry has revamped an 80 year old french lingerie line called Scandale Paris and turned it into an affordable line of undies for Target. This line is beautiful and with bras selling at $17 it is definitely worth a look!

Alexander Wang for H&M is due to hit stores and their on line site on November 6th.  I was excited when I heard, then I saw the look book preview and, not so excited. If your style is really edgy then this line is definitely for you, it's a very sharp work-out to street look with kind of a space age over tone. As my mother would say, not my cup of tea, but if it's yours, be prepared to wait in line.

 

Thank goodness my daughter is all grown up because I'd have to staple my wallet shut over this one. Kate and Jack Spade for GapKids! Be still my heart the bow dress in a mini me! Prices from $9.95 - $130. Does it get any cuter?!?

And last but definitely not least, what holiday season would be complete without something extra sparkly, to hold your soy chai perhaps?  Look what's coming...Swarovski for Starbucks!

Fab Finds Friday!

Happy Fab Finds Friday!  It's that time of year again when those unexpected designer collab combinations start to pop up, and it's good for our style and our budgets!  Any Elie Tahari fans out there? OK me! Elie Tahari is a sophisticated designer with a NY urban chic vibe. Typically his dresses sell anywhere from $75 - $300. So it's exciting news that he is the next Designer Collaboration for Kohl's Design Nation. I'm not going to carry on just yet, because I've been pretty disappointed by some of Kohl's previous designer collabs (cough, cough, Peter Som) but I have high hopes for this one, we shall see. Here is a peek at what looks good from the Look Book. The release date is still hush hush but I'm guessing early September, so stand by!

 

 

 

Altuzarra, a brand known for their celebrity clientele and their combination of French sophistication and American ease, is coming to (drum roll please ) TARGET! The line, also debuting this Fall, will have 50 items with prices for clothes and lingerie from $17.99 - $89.99 and shoes and accessories from $29.99 - $79.99. No Look Book has been released for this collection yet however, Noria Morales, Target's director of design partnerships, actually did a big reveal and wore this maxi dress from the collection to the CFDA Awards.

And seriously, Alexander Wang for H & M! Be still my heart! This one is launching on November 6, 2014, so hang on to your wallets until then. No look book yet, but stay tuned, it's going to be good ;)

Happy Hunting!
