FIRST LOOK! Mulberry for Target (In Stores Tomorrow!)

Glamazons, your Fall wardrobe is not complete without a luxe, statement handbag. And now that my beloved bag line Mulberry has hit Target, you can buy delectable arm candy without breaking the bank.

Why do I love Mulberry so? It blends luxury and style with an eclectic, quirky English sensibility. The glamazing pieces have found fans in Alexa Chung (who has a handbag named after her), Mischa Barton, Kate Moss, Kate Bosworth, Scarlett Johansson and more.

Mirroring favorites from their eponymous collection like the Leopard Bayswater Bag and that adorable Lily Leopard Print Shoulder Bag, the Mulberry for Target line features leopard print, quilts and patent leather bags that are just gorgeous!

Mark my words - I will be making the pink leopard bag my everyday purse!

Check out the collection below, and tell me: will you be shopping the line when it his Target stores tomorrow, October 10th?

Shop Estee Lauder, Fergie Shoes and More for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here! Now is as good a time as any to donate to breast cancer research and spread awareness.

But don't let it stop once October ends. For many women and their families, breast cancer is a year-round reality. In the past two years, breast cancer has affected my life; my aunt passed away from breast cancer last year, and another treasured family member is currently fighting it.

I miss my Aunt dearly, and am helping my family member through her own battle, but I don't at all feel defeated or discouraged.

Everyday, scientists are coming up with ways to combat the disease including a breathalyzer that will soon be used to detect cancerous cells. And by going for routine checkups, I can personally do my part to prevent it and get early detection should I be diagnosed. And I encourage every woman to do the same!

That's not all. You can indulge in some guilt-free beauty, clothing and shoe-shopping, where proceeds are donated to breast cancer research.  

Fergie is selling a hot pink pump (the Hope shoe) from her line, Fergie Shoes, during QVC’s “FFANY Shoes on Sale” event on October 15th. She'll sell the adorable pump for half the price, with 100% of the proceeds going to breast cancer research! Love it. Watch QVC on Friday, October 15th to shop the shoes from 7PM to 10PM.

In the meantime, you can shop these fab finds to donate to breast cancer research. From Essie nail polish to Bobbi Brown eyeshadow to Lily Pulitzer scarves, the proceeds are going to a good cause. See, good for your closet and your conscience!

Target Celebrates East Harlem Launch with Kelly Rowland, Selita Ebanks and...the Target Dog!

Target is heading uptown to Harlem. The launch of the new East Harlem store has come with much fanfare from exclusive designer collections from Stephen Burrows, Isabel and Ruben Toledo (Michelle Obama favorite) and Marcus Samuelsson to a star-studded VIP fete to celebrate the opening.

The latter took place yesterday evening with celebrities like Kelly Rowland, Selita Ebanks, Tyson Beckford, designer Tracy Reese and style maven (and Glamazon favorite) Bevy Smith. Oh and did I mention the official Target dog was there?

Check out the pics:

I love Selita's draped moment. She's gorg!

Tyson Beckford and his straw hat were there.

Tracee Ellis Ross was the picture of summer chic in a green, floral maxidress.

Tracy Reese glowed in one of her own designs.

Uncle Russ came through to support.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Target dog made an appearance on the red carpet. Historic, really.

The party was ultra-glamorous but I'm more excited about the fashion. The designers, Isabel and Ruben Tuledo, Stephen Burrows and Marcus Samuelsson dreamed up vibrant, colorful pieces that capture the spirit of Harlem. What's your verdict on their looks?

Check out some of Stephen Burrows' pieces and Isabel Toledo's swimwear below:

The fab pieces are available at East Harlem Target, 517 East 117 Street, (212) 835-0860 starting July 25th and at other select stores and on www.target.com in limited quantities starting August 1st.

FIRST LOOK! Pure Energy for Target Plus-Size Collection, Modeled by ANTM Winner Whitney

Behold, Glamazons: an ANTM success story. Whitney Thompson has nabbed her first major campaign modelling Target's plus-size line from LA-based brand, Pure Energy. Wait, you didn't know Target has a plus-size line?

Well, they do and the latest styles are delightfully edgy and chic. Trends like sheer blouses, floral prints and military-style jackets all show up in the Pure Energy for Target Fall collection, which will launch in stores and online in July.

I especially love the denim. Sexy in an effortless, distressed kind of way, the denim hugs full-figured curves perfectly.

Check out pictures from the collection below.

What item are you picking up when it hits Target stores? And what do you think of Whitney's gig? Did she perfect the smize?

You're Invited to the Zac Posen for Target Shopping Party in NYC + The Like Video by Gia Coppola

The good people at Target know how excited we are about the launch of Zac Posen for Target. That's why every couple of weeks they give us a teaser about the collection. 


First, pictures featuring Alfre Woodard's daughter, Mavis Spencer, hit the web. Then, we spotted Nicky Hilton in a Zac Posen for Target Sailor Dress in Animal Print at Nylon Magazine's 11th Anniversary party.


Fabness! And now, with sixteen long days until the collection debut on April 25th, Target has announced they're having a shopping party!


Yes, Target is throwing a glamorous shopping soirée to celebrate the launch of their best designer collaboration yet! The party will run for one day only, from April 15th at 11pm to April 16th at 11pm. And everyone is invited (I repeat: it's open to the public). See deets below...and see you all there!

While shopping the collection of flirty frocks and gorgeous gowns, partygoers will enjoy performances by DJ Kid America and The Like. Fab girl group, The Like, is also featured in a short video by director Gia Coppola to celebrate the Zac Posen for Target launch. Gia Coppola and Zac Posen have been buddies since he started in fashion, and Coppola and the Like have been friends since high school.


Check out the video below:





Are you as excited for the party as I am?

Jane Carter Solution Launches in Target Stores

It's music to my ears when I hear news about my fave beauty brands going mainstream; and the fact that Jane Carter Solution will now be sold in Target stores just rocks my world. Why? Because the products are just so amazing and I'm excited that it will now be easier for the masses to enjoy them. I recently caught up with the lovely Jane Carter herself (isn't she cute?!) during her launch party (that's us pictured above!) and she was ecstatic that Target decided to pick up the line. A hairstylist and salon owner, Carter began creating her own products about 10 years ago in response to an allergic reaction caused by the chemicals in traditional hair care products. Products in her line contain only natural ingredients and are great not just for your hair, but your scalp as well. (That Scalp Serum is the truth! I use it during the harsh NY winter months to treat my dry scalp.)

Target will be featuring the Moisture Nourishing Shampoo, Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner, Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner, Scalp Nourishing Serum, Wrap & Roll, and Nourish and Shine. It's great for all hair types (regardless of ethnicity) and works small miracles for those with textured hair. Please be sure to scoop them and (for those of you out there that haven't tried it) let us know what you think after you do!

FIRST LOOK! Cynthia Vincent for Target

Can you tell which wedge sandal is Cynthia Vincent and which is Cynthia Vincent for Target? I didn't think so. 

The designer's fierce buckled wedges for Target are nearly identical to her those from her signature line---but a LOT less expensive. Target's version retails for only $29.99! The shoes are available in brown, black and yellow. Yes, prepare for these to fly off the shelves! (And P.S. the Target wedges are on top!)

The Cynthia Vincent for Target collection, which debuts April 18, also includes vibrant African printed flats and studded sandals, all capping at $30. 

Let me know which pair you scoop up when it hits stores April 18th!
