It really gives you all the opportunity to peek into my life and my closet. Here is a roundup of some of my favorite “grams” What are they called anyways?????

The rumors have been swirling since Summer and the rumors are TRUE! Prabal Gurung and Target have collaborated for a collection due to hit stores February 10th! The collection will stay true to Gurung’s aesthetic of sharp tailoring and feminine silhouettes with much use of prints and graphic detail. The fashion forward masses will be able to get their hands on this over 80 piece collection just in time for the holidays. The highly anticipated collaboration will include ready to wear and accessories including shoes and bags. Prices range from $19.99 for a T-shirt to $199.99 for a leather jacket.

The shop is set to open in next Spring. Minkettes…….. are you excited?????? Not a Minkette yet? Then check out this post I did a while back featuring her accessories that I absolutely adore!!!
This past Weekend I went to Hester Goes Hollywood, a cool street fair with live music, food trucks and fabulous jewelry and clothing finds. I was overwhelmed at the amount of cute stuff! I overspent but left VERY happy. I made sure to grab a card at every vendor that I LOVED and now I’m going to share them with you.
Shoppublik. I loved their hanging spike bracelet and the zipper bracelet.
Agapanthanyc. I really like their use of vintage watch parts in their jewelry and their hammer necklace.
Visantine Collective. Great pieces and great construction. They had an amazing jacket, one of the best I’ve seen in quite sometime.
LeFashionTruck. I scored on some amazing two toned faceted teardrop earrings. Plus it’s so fun shopping in that cute pink truck….and YES there is a dressing room inside as well.
Threeheartz. Great head wraps and infinity scarf collection as well as fun jewelry.
It’s almost that time again……Target is continuing its collaborations with four new collections for Fall. Target introduced the shops earlier this year to celebrate “local” boutiques from around the country, offering shoppers exclusive collections co-created by participating shop owners. The Shops at Target offer a unique peek into these otherwise high-end boutiques, and make their products available to the masses at affordable prices. The four shops featured for Fall will be
New york’s fashionista fantasy land Kirna Zabete. ($9.99-$199.99)
New york’s style savvy mens store Odin.($14.99-$99.99)
