If you're like me, you love fashion and admire designer clothing, but can't even come close to affording it. Well, thank goodness for whoever came up with the idea that designers should create collections for places like Macy's and Target, but at a fraction of what they usually cost. Seriously. I love it. You still get the amazing design (and usually better fabrics) and a one-of-a-kind piece, but you don't have to go into debt.
Target has seen the likes of Jason Wu, Missoni, Zac Posen, and Kirna Zebete, to name a few. All were great, but I think this one tops them all. With Neiman Marcus, you get a whole bunch of different designers. In this case, over 20 designers created 50 amazing pieces of clothing and gifts perfect for the holidays. I first read about this collaboration in my People Style Watch and was super excited, but I thought to myself, "There is no way that the Decatur Target will get this stuff." You can expect my surprise (and sheer delight!) when I stepped into Target on Monday, 2 days after the debut of the collection in stores, to find that we got all of it. I actually kind of freaked out. People probably thought I was strange when they would walk by this girl who couldn't stop smiling and touching everything and saying, "oh my God" over and over again. It. Is. Amazing.
There aren't a ton of clothing pieces, but all of them are great. The gifts are all super cute and really pretty. Any of them would be great to give to someone, and most are between $30 and $70. Honestly, for how one-of-a-kind they are, it's worth it. I compiled a list of both my favorite gifts that I saw, as well as my favorite articles of clothing.
Gifts
 |
| [Oscar de la Renta dog collar // Brian Atwood leather gloves // Jason Wu ornaments (set of three) // Diane Von Furstenberg jewelry box // Altuzarra glass shaker // Alice + Olivia luggage // Marc Jacobs leather pouch // Tracy Reese dessert plates (set of four)] |
Clothing
[Robert Rodriguez top // Prabal Gurung cape // Lela Rose dress // Proenza Schouler sweatshirt // Men's Rag & Bone sweater // Marchesa girl's dresses]
I was seriously considering that leash for my "niece", Lola. There is also a porcelain Oscar de la Renta dog bowl! It is so cute. My absolute favorite thing is the Lela Rose dress. I tried it on and fell in love. The pattern and color is beautiful and it fit like a glove. It was also longer, which I liked, and the skirt had tulle underneath it so it flounced out absolutely perfectly. Oh, and if I could get the cream Marchesa dress in my size, I would in a heartbeat. So beautiful! I had no idea the Rag & Bone sweater was a men's sweater when I tried it on, but I would still get it. It was so soft and comfortable and perfectly oversized. Out of the gifts, I am loving the dessert plates, the leather gloves, that shaker (there is also a matching set of 4 glasses), and the luggage. Unfortunately, the suitcase is $180, so that won't be happening unless it goes markdown. Thankfully I live in Decatur, so I'm guessing that a lot of this stuff won't sell too well. I plan on watching all of this like a hawk for it to go on sale. I'm guessing either right before Christmas, or right after :)
