New Highly Anticipated Target Collab: PHILLIP LIM!

By now most of us have had the chance to score some yummy pieces with a great designer name on the tag for a knock out price thanks to past Target collaborations such as Kate Young, Prabal Gurung, Missoni and Isaac Mizrahi. We will have a chance to add another designer to our wardrobe on September 15 when the much anticipated Phillip Lim line will reach Target stores and Target.com. Prices range from $19.99 to $79.99 for most pieces (excluding leather jackets and trench coat, which are priced from $249.99 to $299.99) so my advice is to eat them all up straight away!

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target lookbook features looks for morning, noon and night and boasts 49 pieces for both women and men. Although you will find 24 different looks in his book, there are endless options and I dare say a little bit of something for everyone! This line is fairly basic in color (mostly black, navy and gray) but he's thrown in a fun floral shirt dress and blouse as well as a funky cheetah print piece here and there.

With Fall lingering about right around the corner, this collaboration could not have come at a better time! Whether you need to add a classic pant and jacket to your daytime wardrobe or a fun bag to accompany you on your commute from work to play, this line has something for you!
 
Refer to my blog post from Saturday, February 4, 2012 called "I Did It!" for advice on how to score your faves online before anyone else! Early bird definitely gets the worm...good luck and happy shopping!


Shop with Purpose on August 28!

So this is probably the coolest way to shop that I have ever had the pleasure of encountering! InStyle magazine is teaming up with a fantastic organization called fashionproject.com in order to accomplish a three-fold goal that hits every woman's sweet spot; it's designer duds that are affordable and benefit a worthy cause!

Check it out:
First, go to www.fashionproject.com/i/9d7803cb and click on the RSVP NOW icon that displays a Prada heel with flames.


 
 
Then place your name on the reservation list. All you will need to plug in is your full name and email address in order to RSVP.

Next, you wait until August 28 when the shop opens and browse through the InStyle boutique where you will find gently used designer clothing, shoes and accessories that have been donated by InStyle editors!

Finally, feel great about yourself because you will soon be rocking fantastic designer finds at a fraction of their original price tag and the best part is that the proceeds from your hard-earned moolah spent will benefit the charity Girls Inc. How cool is that?

So don't waste a single second. RSVP now and begin the countdown to shopping with purpose!
