I cannot wait for February 5th-the launch of Jason Wu for Target! Although I couldn't find almost any sneak previews,I already have my eyes on some dresses and things that I did peek at. Which finally gives me reason to use all the holiday giftcards I recieved. I am definetly going early this time as opposed to my failure with the Missoni one just last year. Jason Wu is even better and I'm so so excited to maybe get to own an actual piece from his line.

this dress is to die for!

I love love love the fruit print and retro silhouettes used in this collection. It totally reminds me of fresh,summery picnic table covers but in a weird way, I would not at all mind wearing this tablecloth fabric. In fact, I think it would look rather awesome. I mean nothing is more awesome than cucumbers,eggplants,and tomato ensembles right?

Okay,so I thought I wasn't so into "super famous" designer clothes. To me, they look similar to any clothes you can buy at macy's and forever 21. But Missoni is unique with its zigzag patterned wool. I love the print and I actually can't wait for it to come to target cuz I have giftcards. These are the looks I'm waiting for.It all depends on what I can afford and what I can find this weekend!

As I was flipping through one of my fashion designer books, I fell upon the wonderful timeless designer Elsa Schiaparelli. She was famous in the 1930's almost overnight. She was inspired by surrealism in art, such as works by Dali. Her works were so creative and seem current. She made trompe l'oeil sweaters and even shoes hats. Her incredible imagination and modern aesthetic kept people hooked back then, and got me hooked 80 years later.

Star print has always been a favorite of mine. I usually wear it casually though, never knowing that it could be high fashion wear. Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2011 Ready Wear makes craftful(is that a word?) use of star print,sparkle, sideways fannypacks and menswear. They take it to a whole new level. I loved Fergie's yellow and black Dolce dress(not really on her, but in general). Taking the ultimate comfortable, casual print and making it higher fashion. I have to say that this collection is a whole new level of genius.

As I was reading the glitterguide yesterday(check it out,i love!), I was reminded of my deep love for the Jenni Kayne Resort 2012 collection. It is simple bliss! I love the color scheme, which includes beautiful peaches, yellows, grays and whites. I also love the hat,hair,sunglasses,and lipstick she chose-incredible styling. She made simplicity perfection!
