Target Designers

Earlier this week, Target re-released 34 styles from their Go International Designer Collective.  Some of the designers included in this collection are Zac Posen, Proenza Schouler and Tracy Feith, which have all collaborated with Target in the past five years.  These designers as well as a few other notable designers, who are also included in the collection, have once again teamed up with Target to provide fashionista’s across the United States with runway fashion at affordable prices. The collection is available in stores, as well as online, but selling out quickly. Visit your nearest Target location or Target.com to check it out!

Last season, Ebony wrote a great article about the do’s and don’ts of wearing animal prints. It served as a great guide to follow if you so choose to wear cheetah or zebra prints at any given time. A print that we did not focus a lot of attention on is the “python” or “snake” print.  Several designers have incorporated this print in their spring 2011 collections. This is not a trend that is particularly new, however it is great print to wear on your feet if you tone down your look up top and utilize the shoes as your “centerpiece.” This is a strategy that I like to use when I really don’t feel like getting too dressed up but still have the desire to be cute!

Have you ever seen a shoe that you absolutely love but you are not sure if it is seasonally appropriate? Well, a shoe option that can sometimes be a little confusing as to when to wear it can be the open-toe bootie. In all actuality, this shoe is a great one to wear when transitioning from winter to spring… hence NOW!  It provides enough coverage for your feet, but may be more appropriate to wear than a traditional boot because it allows your toes to breathe! Since we are channeling spring time, look for lighter color options that you can wear with many different things. If you are trying out this trend remember nudes and neutral colors are still ever so popular to wear as the weather progressively gets warmer. Check out the styles below!

Blush Pink

A past time that I enjoy is flipping through the pages of high fashion magazines. Vogue, In Style and Elle always keep me in “the know” of what is happening with style internationally. One particular color that I have seen become real popular is one that has been termed “blush,” a light pink color that is very flirty and feminine. This color falls into the nude family and plays well with camel and soft off whites like ivory or champagne. It is a great soft pink to pair with neutral colored bottoms to lighten up your look for the spring.
