Target set to be a fashion powerhouse

Target's been having designers contribute to their women's clothing collections for a while now and most of them have been highly successful. Running along the same lines as H&M (who's Comme des Garcons line comes out so soon and it going to be available in NYC and looks ADORABLE), the Target lines tend to be more available in terms of location and cost.
The newest designer to contribute is Thakoon who's old school design powerhouse has been revamped in the past pret-a-porter collections and seems to want to branch in a more massively produced direction. Judging by the preview photos of the collection, which will be available starting Christmas, and by the reviews of it so far it does seem like you should keep these clothes stored until better weather unless you wanted to be miss tropicana at your job/office/current location. Not really my style but still loving the collaboration!

dios mio long time no post!

between working 50 hour weeks, going out and ultimately sleeping 4 hours a day i haven't had the energy to write anything. it would take forever to try to fill in what has been going on (lots of post CMJ/halloween action but we'll disregard it?) but shall put in better effort to keep blogging.
It's funny because I find that just like with everything else, blogging is something that everyone will get super pumped about for the first couple weeks committing oneself to it nearly religiously. I'm not quite sure what it is that as a blogger one wishes to achieve apart from maybe the desire to share information, make connections, and be heard. Personally, I'm hoping that it'll be an easier way to keep in touch with people that I care for but don't have the time to communicate with and although it really isn't as personal as an email, it's still a nicer and less creepy way of knowing what someone's up to without resorting to facebook or myspace type stuff. Done rambling....

first outfit of the day post

so I wasn't sure whether I was ever going to do what all other fashion related blogs do (taking pictures of outfits...) but I'll give it a shot. How's this for a day at the office? (ha I feel so vain...)

jewelry i wish i could afford

i'd heard about prada releasing a jewelry line and not only was I in disbelief but I also thought it would appeal to upper east side fashionistas and the like only. their jewelry line, from photos i've seen, is actually great with some 'hardware' like touches to the (probably) great gold and materials. Two of my favorites below: I have not even inquired or tried to find out pricing just to actually make the desire for items below still a possibility in my head.

Happy Halloween!

hope you all eat too much candy corn and party party tonight if you so desire... or watch scary movies.... many events going on tonight in boston, more to follow

Obama madness

thanks to adriano for this exquisite photo from Dorothy's Gallery in Paris. Elections in less than a week and if you're foreign like me (and can't have a say... sigh) you'll be hoping that others make the right choice... interesting painting?

suffer for fashion?
