Anna Sui for Target

Anna Sui is teaming up with Targert to bring high fashion at low prices. Target has already done this with a couple designers, such as Luella and Proenza Schouler. However, it's my opinion that those designers' options for Target never really touched on what the runways were showing.

However, it looks like Anna Sui got it right! See the resembelance?
Her line for Fall 09 was inspired by the four characters on Gossip Girl... possibly the only show I don't watch. I know, slap me on the hands, I'm a busy girl, okay?

Chris Benz Resort 2010

It's rare that I love a majority of the outfits in a collection, but Chris Benz, I think you've done it. The inspiration for the line was Palm Springs, and it definitely makes me want to go back.

Oh, and do you recognize the model? That's Laurel Stovall, from "It's Her Factory". Check out the side links for her awesome blog!

Urban Outfitters Overdyed Canvas Skips
Purple and Taupe

The taupe actually ended up looking rather lilac-ish, and match my boyfriends shoes exactly. he dyed his shoes purple a while ago, and between biking around, spilling beer on them, and walking in the rain, the shoes faded. I don't know if that says anything about dye in general... but my point is that these taupe shoes are definitely not taupe.
