TARGET's on TARGET

Target has been unstoppable when it comes to tapping some of the most talented designers to collaborate with, and now they’ve got Eugenia Kim, the queen of hats, on board, along with shoe, bag, and clothing maven Cynthia Vincent.

Each of the two designers will be launching a limited edition collection for Spring 2010 for the retailer. The Eugenia Kim for Target collection will mark the first hat launch in a series of limited-time-only accessory designers for Target, and will be hitting stores and the web April 18th through June 20th (hopefully some knit hats!). The Cynthia Vincent for Target collection is the fifth footwear launch, and will be available at Target stores nationwide and at Target.com beginning April 18 through July 1st. Some of the Cynthia Vincent pieces will reportedly be online exclusives.

I cannot wait to see the Zac Posen's collection (that is if I can make it in and it's not totally sold out)! Go Target!!!!

12 Style Tips to beat the blahhsss

Sources: Random Google, F21 site, ShopBop


Some tips I've learned as a stylist:

1. Make a statement with a cool NECKLACE... throw it on over a plain t... or layer several ones
for a fun vibe. (if you have rings that are too big, throw them on a chain and wear them as charms)


2. Layer fun pieces with texture like a LACE tank under your top or let a pretty, lacy bra peak SLIGHTLY from your top.. slightly now!!!!


3. Wear SEXY but comfortable shoes... nude, leopard, or metallic.. always look chic with even the most simple outfit.


4. Add a BELT.. wear it low with a loose tunic or rock a skinny one at your WAIST.. there are so many styles and it's an easy way to add oomph.


5. CHANGE the buttons of a blazer and add glam or edge


6. Rock a newsboy cap or a fun beanie (great for the days you don't want to style your hair)


7. Wear a fun new blush or lipgloss... I am seriously obsessed with Armani # 10 (It's so glowy and has more pigment than Nars Orgasm)


8. WBD. White button down. Get a sexy, fitted white button down and wear it with distressed
jeans, gold hoops, and your fave shoes. DONE.


9. CLUTCH, CLUTCH! Vintage, Envelope, leopard, sequin, neon... If you always wear
black here's where you can get crazy.


10. DARK SKINNIES with ankle zippers.... I wear my J Brands with pretty much everything...
I tuck them into boots and unzip them with platforms... super cute and versatile.


11. SCARVES Tie one on your handbag or wear it with a fun vintage dress... CHIC or BOHO.. always adds something.


12. SMILE... BEST accessory. Always in FASHION.

What are your fave tips???

MIX IT UP: PART 2 : UNDERPININGS

Joie top, Millau top with studded belt from LF, Forever 21 top and necklace

YUMM this is my new fave top...so versatile

Joie top... great luxury bohemian line

Rock a vest or little jacket over this Free People top

Marc by Marc Jacobs t-great with jeans

American Apparel fave- gray Raglan top (goes with everything)

Pair this with a tank underneath and throw on a jacket or rock it with a vest




F 21 necklace... kinda reminded me of Chanel Camelias....love it

Make it more boho with a simple brown belt

Couldn't resist- had to throw on a cardigan (from F21) to complete the look

When you have a few key pieces, there are endless possibilities for your wardrobe. Personally, I have collected what seems to be endless amounts of cardigans and little jackets, and could really use some underpinnings to layer beneath. In the past few months, I have recently bought the tops you see above. My favorites are the FABULOUS and VERSATILE leopard top from LF and the simple white top from Forever 21. Lately, these along with American Apparel and Crossroads have been my go to stores for fun pieces.

What could you use in your wardrobe??
