TARGET
As summer begins, we start to spend more and more time at the beach or poolside. For this reason, it’s crucial that we rock bathing suits we love to show off. However, sometimes teeny weenie bikinis come with big fat price tags. Some are great investments, but in reality, do we really want to be spending over $100 on two small pieces of fabric that will be getting wet and soaked with chlorine or salt water? Spend that extra cash towards another piece for your summer wardrobe and check out one of these hot bikinis we love that are right on trend and even better, under $50!

We all wish we had that perfect skin, naturally long, curled eyelashes, and no need for lip color or eye shadow. Most of us, however, haven’t been blessed with these genes and thus, we are forced to use what the heavens gave us and fake the rest. Perfecting the natural, “no makeup” look is definitely a must for the spring and summer months upon us and an easy look to achieve. Follow these steps to get that effortless, natural beauty while still using makeup and you will look and feel bright and fresh for spring!
1) Even out your skin tone and moisturize-
Jason Wu + NEST Fragrances
Just when we thought the buzz around Jason Wu couldn’t get any bigger—due to the designer’s much anticipated collection for Target—it does! In a brand new design direction, we find out Wu is also collaborating with NEST Fragrances on a signature candle scent. So not only will our apts look better thanks to all that Jason Wu apparel, they’ll smell better too! The scent is Orchard Rain, a fragrance that combines pear with cattleya orchid, Birchwood, leather and peppercorn. The candles can be found at department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks starting in April; Orchard Rain is just the first in a series of luxurious scents. Should we expect more Jason Wu diffusion lines in the future? “I think the home market is something I’m really interested in. Also the beauty market. I think Nest sort of crosses the line between both markets,” he said. “So it seems to be the perfect introduction.”
This just in—our favorite bargain collaborator is once again delivering our favorite designer goods at prices within our means! Just yesterday Target released the full lookbook of Jason Wu’s upcoming line and it couldn’t be cuter or more exciting. The collection, an adequate 53 pieces of sweet and playful dresses, separates, scarves, and handbags, is begging to be seen bouncing down the avenue this spring. Inspired by an American girl in Paris and her purrrrfect companion Milu, the A-line silhouettes and button up blouses ooze Parisian charm.
Have you been keeping count of all of fashion's designer collaborations this year? Missoni for Target; Versace for H&M; Karl Lagerfeld for Fossil. What? You read right. Karl Lagerfeld is teaming up with Fossil to create an exclusive line of men's and women's watches that will be designed, developed, and distributed under the Karl Lagerfeld label.
Announcement of the collaboration was made Wednesday, and Vice Chairman of Fossil, Mark Quick, said of the company's thoughts on the venture, "We look forward to working with Karl Lagerfeld. It is a pleasure to work with such an inspiring fashion visionary."
Talk about fashion mayhem! After Target released a new line featuring Italian designer Missoni on September 13th, not only did crazed fashionistas clear the racks of their local Targets, but they also managed to crash the Target website all in one day! The goal was to provide fashion savvy individuals with great designer styles at affordable prices. While they did just that, the designers did not expect for the entire collection to sell out that quickly. With markup prices ranging from 25% to 400%, people are now paying big bucks on eBay for the Missoni Target line. This counteracts the plan of creating a designer clothing collection at a discounted price. In this collection for Target, you can tell it’s Missoni from a mile away, with it’s bright zigzag patterns and bold colors. The collection includes over 400 pieces, from boots to bags, knits and flats, to make-up accessories and home and kitchenware items. Now available only on eBay, if you want to spend more than double the retail price that is.
Target finally releases pictures of its entire Missoni Collection! From makeup brushes to scarves to bicycles, Missoni for Target covers a massive range of fashion and home. Since the announcement this past May, we've all been waiting patiently for a glimpse of the (already) sought-after collaboration. Following in the footsteps of previous high-end designers gone affordable for Target (such as Isaac Mizrahi and Versace), Missoni releases the biggest collection yet. Over 400 pieces containing women's, men's, and children's clothing, as well as housewares, bedding, picture frames, makeup brushes (and even a bicycle!) will hit shelves on September 13th. I imagine there will be a line out the door with shoppers waiting to snag the collection which is being sold for a mere 5 1/2 weeks! We're already in love and getting our tents ready for the stakeout.
The phenomenon of mixing insanely expensive designer pieces with label-less bargain duds began when Sharon Stone appeared on the red carpet of the 1996 Oscars wearing a Valentino skirt paired with a plain black t-shirt from the Gap. It's been fifteen years (105 in fashion years) since the birth of the High/Low craze, yet it is still going strong. Quickly evolving from a trend to a necessity, High/Low fashion has come to mean that mixing a $3 tank top with a $300 skirt is more than acceptable. In fact, it's highly encouraged. Celebs and commoners alike are balancing their wardrobes with high-end designer pieces and cheap-o trendy clothes and accessories.
