ANNA SUI FOR TARGET
I thought I’d never say this, but thank god for Target. Without the success of their now very famous collaborations with Alexander McQueen, Proenza Schouler, and Anna Sui, where would Charlotte Ronson for JCPenny or Vera Wang for Kohl’s be? Probably non-existent. Target has been able to prove that you can take high-end, of-the-moment designers, encapsulate their ‘concept’ in 50 or less pieces and actually SELL. You see, I like this idea for two reasons: 1) you’re introducing an entirely different demographic to these incredibly talented individuals 2) you can get McQueen for less than $100 bucks. I’ve seen some grainy images of Rodarte’s collection and it’s just fantastic. Brain & wallet salivating.
Isn’t this top just precious? I was lucky enough to be in New York when there was an Anna Sui for Target pop-up shop in Soho. In fact, that was the first time I’ve even heard of a ‘pop up shop’. Yes, I know. I’m a country bumpkin! This really isn’t something that I would normally pick out for myself, but I thought it’s black, see-through and a little outrageous, so why not? Overall, I was really impressed with what Anna Sui did. For those of you who don’t remember, she created 4 separate collections, each reflecting a character on Gossip girl. I don’t watch GG (as my friends always refer to it as), so I don’t really know much about the characters. According to what I picked out, I’m Blair Waldorf. Ha!
I’m trying to wear these damn Ashish boots more so I can get a handle on them. I consider myself to be a bit of a shoe-whisperer. I’ve been able to walk around in the most heinously constructed heels ever since I started wearing them on a regular basis in high school. That being said, I haven’t quite yet cracked the science of wearing these shoes. To be continued….

Love, love, love that top! It’s a rad mix of goth & hippie. I really wanted to get down to Target and check out Anna Sui’s stuff, but alas I missed out.

I love the bell sleeves and the mesh cutouts, esp on the arm, that’s so chic and you look fabulous! yeah I wish I could just say “screw you” to my shopping ban but I have to try to stick to it otherwise I can’t buy Christmas gifts! But good point on the lifestyle change, will def keep that in mind, thanks dear!
