Rodarte for Target <3

Target's new Go International designer line is by RODARTE!! It comes out December 20th and you will not want to miss this!!! Seriously RUN DON'T WALK! There are so many cute party dresses in this line that you will be dreaming up occasions to wear them! Though Target has tried to keep the line secret, Internet pictures were leaked weeks ago and now some of the gowns have been featured in magazines this month.

For the line, the girls from Rodarte collaborated with their fan and my fellow blogger, Tavi Gevinson (Style Rookie). The thirteen year old shares my weakness for all things girly: bows, lace and tulle oh my, making this line lovable!

Here is a preview!
Enjoy,

What I want NOW!

What I want now are all things Grandma Chic....That's what I've decided to call my new fashion obsession. Here is how this love affair began.



While walking through the Savvy department at the Nordstrom Christmas Party, I came across a sweater so exciting I let out a small squeal! My shopping partner turned and caught me caressing a hot pink merino wool sweater with jeweled shoulders. Although it looked like something my blue haired Grandmother might have dug out of her closet, I knew it was for me! Me and this sweater, this sweater and I, we were meant to be together! I wanted to call out to the sales associate, "I'll take this in every color you've got!" In the end I controlled the hysteria that was rising within and casually said to my friend, "I think you should buy this." You see Grandma Chic is for the you, the young and vivacious 20 and 30 somethings. On the hanger it may seem matronly but put it on and viola! Chic perfection! The shiny bedazzling that may seem just comical on our matriarchs look fresh and new on us. Go ahead, give it a try!



Here's the one that stopped me dead in my tracks...Trina Turk's Sessilee Sweater

Who says we can't relive our past?

Remember the days of our youth when we would french roll our jordache jeans? Well we can relive those glory days in this new trend! The rolled jean is back! Its back and better! Now try it with a skinny jean so there is no need for the french part. Just roll to the ankle and pair with heels and PRESTO, you are so now! It even looks great with a slim fit chino! See below...

Long live the 90's!
