I don't know how this one slipped by me. I absolutely love the brand Tucker (created by Gaby Basora), composed of mainly beautiful printed silk blouses.

We all know I never turn down a blouse. Well Tucker is doing a line for none other than Target! Target is killing it in the designer colloabo department. I am loving the Tucker line. My favorite is this signature dress.

I love all of what Tucker for Target has to offer. Target nails it again.

Now us fellow frugal fashionistas can get the laid back rocker look that is William Rast starting December 19-January 22! I can't wait to see the jeans!

Affordable Fabulousness Save the Date

I was dancing with joy when I found out Forever 21 newest designer collobo is with Brian Lichtenberg! Amazing. If you're not familiar with him he is famous for his caution-tape ensemble for Gaga's "Telephone" video and you can see Kim K. always on the red carpet in one of his fabulous one shoulder mini dresses.

Brian claims that his collection with the retailer will maintain his usual aesthetic but be suitable for the trendy feminine Forever gal. The line launches August 13 featuring tee's and tanks. More exciting? That my favorite City girl (besides power house Erin of course) Allie Crandell is in the ads. Love. I'll send out a reminder the day before:)

Sale Alert!

Quick guys and dolls-Shopbop is adding an extra treat for us during their amazing sale!

Obsession of the Week

Rachel Zoe has been the topic of my postings earlier this month but I was watching her on QVC this past week and I am obsessed with her newest addition to her accessory line for the company. I think she is so smart for adding this venture to her resume. All the pieces she wears and you can tell are inspired by her style.

My favorite is this navaho scarf (we all know I love tribal).

I also love this chunky cocktail ring and boyfriend watch. Order here!

Cool Collabos

I feel so out of the loop on this affordable fabulousness. Gap has joined forces with Pierre Hardy to create these amazing platform wedges! I love them. They would look so amazing with a pair of shorts and a blazer or a pair of wide leg jeans and a printed tank.

The prices range from $98-$110 a perfect little investment for summer time! Plus I think these could carry you into fall paired with cute trouser socks. Check out one of my favorite bloggers The Glamourai in them! Get em here.

Obsession of the Week

So as I was packing my suitcase I noticed what steals I managed while visiting my parents, and that a lot of my stuff was from Forever21's contemporary line Love21. The line is Forever21's older sister, launched mid May, with a little increase in price (range from 19.80-32.80) with nicer quality fabrics and apparel. The line is geared towards the adult customer, ladies in their early 20's to early 40's. I wasn't realizing it when I was finding myself drawn to one little corner of the huge store but I bought all Love21 apparel. I have found that the line is more eclectic and suits my personal style. I guess we can't stay 21 Forever? Check out Love21 here. Also take a look at Forever21's blog TheSkinny!

Rachel Zoe's Great Week!

On the heels of debuting her new collection for QVC this week, stylist-idol Rachel Zoe let everyone know that she will be debuting a lifestyle collection in Fall of 2011. The line will include apparel, shoes, accessories, and items for the home as the line expands. Zoe notes that she will include some signature items including faux furs and jackets. I don't want to wait til next year but to hold us over here is a preview of her upcoming Fall collection for QVC courtesy of Instyle.

PS-The Rachel Zoe project is offically coming back August 3! "Ahhmazing".
