What I Bought From Missoni for Target, AND What I Plan on Still Buying.

Well, seems as if, I have underestimated how busy the Target stores would be in Lexington for Missoni. I went around 5 in the evening and while they were not busy with people shopping, they were pretty much sold out of EVERYTHING. I was quite upset. I purchased three items, and only one of those items I purchased was on my original list. boo. So, this is what I got:


Chiffon and Knit Sweater


These Awesome Flats.



And a pair of purple and black zig-zag knee-high socks.

NOW. What I WANTED:

The flats- check!

This tote- I am tired of breaking down my Brahmin purse to carry around my books in at school, I need this.


This sweater- I can't get over the fact that I don't have this cardigan in my closet right now.


This Tee- Super cute.


This sweater- sigh.

I think I am more angry about the stupid ebay shoppers who came and just grabbed armfuls of whatever they wanted and are now selling it on ebay for regular Missoni prices. I can be understanding that you need to make money, But I mean come on, leave something for everyone else, and triple the price, really? I'm gonna be mean, and say I hope no one buys it from you. and yes that makes me feel better.
They are restocking their supply tomorrow, so I will hope to venture over there after work to see if there is anything still left, and you better watch out, cause yes, I will push you over.

Missoni for Target

Today, Target opened its doors and website for fashion feens ready to purchase the fabulous creations by Missoni. In my opinion, this is Target's best designer collaboration thus far. So, since I am in class and can't be at fashion week, I am more excited about this since Target is just right down the road.


The family at Missoni designed an entire new collection for Target unlike any collection they have done in the past and it's affordable for people in college like me :) Of course, they still have the signature zig zag pattern and bright colors. They also have a home line as well, totaling a 400 piece collection with clothes and everything. When I saw some of the pieces for the home collection I so wished that I had my own home to decorate with all the Missoni goodies.





As I was trying to collect some pictures of this collection from target.com it seems as if, Missoni for Target has single handedly shut down their server. The website was so busy, that it literally couldn't handle anymore and shut down. (glad I didn't wake up early this morning to shop online) Even though this is unfortunate, if I were part of the Missoni family, a part of me would be jumping for joy knowing that my brand is that popular.
Hopefully soon, the site will be back up and running, but in the meantime I am going to a Target store to shop Missoni and I will post pictures later of all my goodies!

Fashion Week

I would do ANYTHING right now, for someone to quickly invent teleporting and be able to teleport me to fashion week. Being a poor college student is no bueno. HOWEVER, my lovely friend, Lauren found a great way to be able to follow everything thats going on (minus seeing the beutiful garments right before your eyes) online.

http://mashable.com/2011/09/05/how-to-follow-new-york-fashion-wee

This is a quick link that gives the main people to follow and the main happenings of what is going on during fashion week. Mashables is a great website that combines everything that is going on and leaves open for discussion and comments. Pretty much everything you need to know about following fashion week online, is on this link by Lauren Indvik.

If you love everything Fashion, and you are as upset as I am about not being there, then get in on this! Also, you need to have a twitter, if you dont, then your crazy. Even if you don't do the whole "hey friend, follow me and ill follow you back thing" like me, you should still have one for this. Honestly, I just follow for the fashion; with as much information that is put out there on twitter and with twitter-only giveaways, its worth it. So overcome your resistence to social media technology and just get over it and get in on all the great information that is awaiting!

I know I commented on the website, but don't forget that my favorite, Betsey Johnson is live streaming her show on Sept. 12 at 6:00pm on her website, http://www.betseyjohnson.com/home/index.jsp and on her facebook, http://www.facebook.com/#!/xobetseyjohnson  I watched this last time she did it and it was a lot of fun getting to see everything backstage before the show starts.

I will also be retweeting many of the exciting events and the main happenings of fashion week as well as what I like so far and what I don't like, so you can follow me too and tweet me any questions you might have :)

Fashion-Related Pet Peeves: Campus Editions

I am absolutely amazed at the things people will wear to class on a college campus. Maybe it's just because I'm clothing minded and I can't help but look at and analyze some peoples outfits, but I mean come on... Did you look in the mirror this morning?

One of my biggest annoyances is when your bra straps are showing. I always happen to sit behind girls who always seem to have that malfunction. Clean it up girls! If your wearing a strapless, racerback, or any other type of top where you should be concealing those straps, do it! Wear a strapless bra. A little endowed? Get a bra strap clip, I have tons and they work wonders. It just looks a little sloppy when they are hanging out for everyone to see, there is a reason they are called UNDERgarments.

Next, who wears pajamas to class? And I am not just talking about sweatpants and a t-shirt, I am talking about cartoon plastered pajamas. Really? I realize that many times you wake up late for class or you want to sleep in, but look halfway presentable. When you do that you look like you don't care; not just about yourself, but about anything. First impressions say a lot about someone and you can never get that back. Throw on some jeans super fast, and a nice top. Or better yet, lay out your clothes the night before so when you are running late you at least have something better than your spongebob pajamas because I will take a picture of you.

Last pet peeve of the day. High heels. Super cute, not for campus. You can barely walk after 5 minutes. I have yet to see a girl walk all around campus in high heels and not look like their knees are about to collapse under them because they hurt so bad. I have a lot of heels, wedges, platforms, pumps, etc., but I would never dream of wearing them around all day on campus walking up and down hills and to the other side and back. Yes, you will turn heads, but it will be the "wow, she looks uncomfortable, and dumb" head turn. Save them for the club, dinner with girls, or if you wear them to work, but save us the laughter and don't bring them to campus.

Thanks for reading my rants today, hopefully someone gained an inch or two of common sense :)
