Bad News for Target?

Reds
Only 3 Items From The Kate Young x Target Collection Are Sold Out–Bad Sign? I’ve been lusting after the Kate Young for Target collection ever since the lookbook hit last month. Well, the collection finally arrived yesterday and it has me wishing I could go to prom all over again (something I thought I’d never say). The celebrity stylist’s collection features formal dresses and separates that look expensive, but won’t break your budget. The apparel ranges in price from $29.99 to $89.99, and jewelry, handbags and shoes from $14.99 to $49.99. But it looks like I may be one of the few people with a long Kate Young x Target shopping list. As of 1pm EST Monday afternoon, only three of the Kate Young x Target clothing items were sold out online and all of the shoes and handbags are…

Fancy Pants

Reds
Surely you’ve seen loads of side-stripe pants by now, but today we have a different iteration with more universal appeal—the tuxedo stripe. If you’re asking yourself what's the difference between the sporty stripe and the tuxedo stripe, think of it this way: the latter is menswear-inspired and takes cues from formal attire rather than the soccer field. Easier to wear than the season’s printed jeans, tuxedo-stripe pants offer a simple way to update your everyday mix. Even better, the trend translates seamlessly for the office (with tailored trouser versions a la Miranda Kerr) and the weekend (with casual denim styles as seen on Cara Delevingne), giving you plenty of ways to wear the look. On The Runway While Reed Krakoff served up a large helping of athletic-inspired silhouettes at his S/S 13…

Five Perfect Tees

Reds
Anyone who knows me will tell you I love a t-shirt. The staple is my all-time favorite closet chameleon--meaning it looks just as good worn with your most casual pieces as it does with your fancier, after-five essentials--and the styles I own get very little downtime. While most people associate tees with casual weekend looks, I prefer to wear them in a more professional or dressed-up scenario. Paired with the right components, such as the perfect pair of trousers, a slickly tailored jacket, and sexy shoes, a t-shirt balances out the look to make it feel effortlessly cool. Plus, the beauty of an excellent tee is that it also fits right in with a biker jacket and boyfriend jeans or can be tucked into a swingy summer skirt, so it’s a piece you can wear for work, play,…

Can I Kick It?

Reds
I'm far from a sneakerhead but I can appreciate some cool kicks! Especially when they're unique, colorful & flirty, like these: When it comes to truly stylish, comfortable footwear, sneakers are the new ballet flats. Isabel Marant first introduced her now-ubiquitous sneaker wedges in 2010, which quickly became the go-to shoe for fashion’s elite, including top editors, models, and celebrities like Beyonce, who rocked a pair in her “Love On Top” music video. Since then, the humble sneaker’s been reinvented in lively colors and punchy prints, elevating them to must-have status for any cool girl. In fact, a number of trendsetters—Rihanna, Jessica Alba, and Chloe Moretz, to name a few—are wearing sneakers to add a fresh, contemporary flair to their looks.
