Jean Paul Gaultier for Target: In stores March 7!!!

Target's designer collaborations seem to keep coming out one after another, and we couldn't be happier about it! Target's past Designer Collaboration series partnerships included Alexander McQueen (R.I.P.), Anna Sui, and their latest collection, which partnered with Rodarte...which was absolutely fabulous and sold like crazy. So, it is so exciting that there is yet another genius collaboration scheduled to hit stores March 7, and that is the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection! The line will be sold in over 250 Target stores nation-wide, and will be on sale through April 11.

"JPG for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture," the retailer said. So, what is to be expected? Our guess was lots of Madonna-like bra tops, corsets, mesh tops, just like the designer's spring 2010 RTW collection. Well, we weren't spot on, but pretty close! The complete look book released recently, unveiling a pretty eclectic bunch of looks, which left us counting down the days until we can shop them! You will be able to take your pick from leather jackets, tattoo leggings, floral printed dresses, trenches, adorable swimwear, and striped tops. We're loving the all-American inspired gingham bustier, the classic and chic trench coat, and the fun and flirty yellow sunshine dress.

The collection ranges in prices from $17.99 to $199, making it affordable for all types of shoppers! Mark your calendars, March 7!!!!

So Ready To Wear DVF, Fall 2010!

"I always wanted to live a man's life in a woman's body." That is the quote that was printed at the top of Diane von Furstenberg's notes during New York Fashion Week, and now we all know why. After watching DVF's Fall 2010 collection float down the runway, it is apparent that the infamous designer, known for her very feminine designs, has finally taken a dive into the world of men's suiting for women. DVF's first look showcased her ability to succeed at about just anything she takes on, killing a beautifully tailored heather grey wool felted pantsuit with a double-breasted jacket, and paired with an amazing chiffon rosette-embellished bolero over the blazer. She continued the menswear suiting look, taking it into evening with feminine a flirty dress topped with a black tuxedo blazer. The same idea appeared again and again, each time a little different than the last, and so refreshing!

Trend: suiting

Trend: cocktail/evening suiting

Another style Diane is known for are her fantastic use of bright and fun prints, which she definitely showcased in all shapes and forms in this show. Metallic, Boho, Embellishments, and lots of fabulous sweater dressing were among the other trends that DVF showed, and that will no doubt be showing up all over the magazines and stores this coming Fall. We can't wait to try out all of these looks once the Autumn weather comes around! If this is what it looks like to live a man's life in a woman's body, then a man's life we will lead for fall 2010!

Zara Terez Trunk Show at Bloomingdale's

This past Friday I took a little trip down to the Bloomingdale's on 59th street for the Zara Terez Trunk Show. It was also the Fashionable Fundraiser so you can just imagine how many people were in the store. It felt like Christmas all over again. The energy was high with music and enthusiastic sales associates, which made shopping even more fun.

The Trunk Show was at the perfect location surrounded by other fabulous designers and very interested shoppers. I was able to get some great photos of the set-up and the new Spring collection, which by the way, is to-die-for! I also was able to steal Zara away for a few minutes and ask her some questions about the line!

MSMPR: What is your favorite bag from the new collection?

Zara Terez: My favorite bag has to be the Hundred and 8th Street Clutch with no strap. It's so structured and elegant, the perfect bag!

MSMPR: What colors should we be looking for when shopping for a bag this season?

Zara Terez: As for handbags, florals, pastels, a muted pastel color, and powered snake print.

*The bag above, called the Nolita was seen on Paris Hilton but in a darker color. I couldn't snap a pic of it because someone was buying it!! It's a fabulous "out on the town" bag!*

MSMPR: What was the inspiration behind this line?

Zara Terez: The line was inspired by leather with a floral basis through the entire palette.

MSMPR: Who is your celebrity influence or inspiration?

Zara Terez: Mary Kate, Mary Kate is the best, love her!

I couldn't resist anymore, and walked away with my first Zara Terez handbag! It is perfect for around the city when you're on-the-go, and definitely a must for traveling! If you don't have a ZT handbag you are definitely missing out!
