Okay - let me start off by saying I love that Target has collaborated with talented designers to do lines for Target.

With that in mind, the newest designer to hit the Target racks is Thakoon.

Lets take a look at what your local Target should have:

Yea - those are pretty hot… Want to know more about the designer and the line? Read on.. Read on.. (more…)

Yup, you’ve read it right. I’m not sure if I like it. I don’t think PAYLESS is investing on it either judging by the 9 items on the quilted collection. See for yourself.

PAYLESS, shopping, quilted

It seems dear ‘ol Tar-Jay went to the next level and turned OLD NAVY’s shortalls/dungarees into a………….. oh let me hold onto my excitement a little bit longer………………SKIRTALL.

OK, one last opine from me about these blasted things. I mean it’s probably OK for gardening or painting. Albeit it’ll never grace my wardrobe, I can understand other women wearing it for such purposes. For me, I’d rather not see it on grown up women wearing it while out grocery shopping or whatever errands you need to be doing. Or when you’re out of your house. But that’s just me.

Another note, if you cut the bottom part from the back, you could use it as an apron. Hardy Har Har!

Thanks Phisch for the heads up .

A very dear friend and avid reader of Bargain Styling informed me of this new press release from Target. Apparently, the wedding dresses will range form $9.99 to $159.99.

“My bridal gowns are all reinventions of the classics, providing an affordable alternative for women everywhere,” says designer Isaac Mizrahi. “I put a lot of design energy into designing this collection for Target because every bride deserves to find the gown of her dreams, regardless of her budget. Every woman remembers how she felt on her wedding day for the rest of her life, so ensuring she feels confident in the ‘perfect’ dress is very important to me.”

So the question is, Would You Buy a Dress from Target? I would, but not the $9.99. I love bargains but that price for a wedding dress?, That’s a little risky. Bear in mind, Isaac’s first foray into fashion was high end. I remember a documentary with him and the best supermodels in the world : Cyndi Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. I remember vividly how Naomi was whining backstage because Linda keeps getting high heels while she gets the flats all the time. Was that a sign to Naomi’s future? Hitting employees with cellphones. LOL.

Anyhooo, so woud you buy Issac’s wedding dresses from Target?
