Missoni for Target: Did You Get Anything?

So did anyone manage to get anything from the Missoni for Target collection that was released last week? In case you haven't heard, everyone went bananas for this collection! Target's website was crashed for two days straight and people were lined up in the wee hours of the morning like on Black Friday waiting for the stores to open in order to snag something from the highly anticipated collection. I was on vacation in Hawaii last week but managed to convince my travel companions to swing by the Target in Kona, Hawaii around 3:00 p.m. last Tuesday (the day the collection was released). When we arrived, the entire collection was pretty much gone! A saleslady told me that people were indeed lined up that morning to shop the collection, which was particularly crazy to me since it is a fall/winter collection comprised mostly of knits that would be too heavy to wear in Hawaii! The saleslady then informed me that many people purchased items in the collection in order to resell them on ebay and that something like 5,000 items from the collection had already been posted on ebay by Tuesday afternoon! Anyway, I managed to snag what appeared to be the only two apparel items left in a size small--the sweater and dress pictured above. I really love them both and have already been wearing the cardigan.  I am thinking of wearing the dress with black platform pumps and a leather jacket this weekend.  If you weren't able to get anything from the collection last week, your best bet is to try ebay because rumor has it that the collection is pretty much sold out online and in stores. If you did manage to get something from the collection, let me know what your shopping experience was like and what you got!!

Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Polka Dots

Polka dots in all sizes and colors appeared frequently on the AW2011 runways (Above: Stella McCartney; Marc Jacobs; Diane Von Furstenberg; David Koma).  I feel like this trend appears every couple of years and it looks like it is back for this upcoming season!  I don't have much to say about this trend as I think it is just fine, but I am always hesitant to wear polka dots due to the teasing I received for my polka-dotted outfit that I wore on the first day of 8th grade at a new school -- a polka dot off-the-shoulder top with white overall shorts, a matching polka dot hair bow, with matching polka dot socks and white sneakers.  Man did I think I looked great!  Unfortunately, it appears that I may have been the only one as I still am teased by my friends about that outfit to this day!  Anyway, if you were not traumatized by polka dots as a child like me and you want to give this trend a try this fall, below are some polka-dotted options to consider:  ASOS spot print shift dress for $82.33 on www.asos.com; ASOS spot print chiffon blazer for $64.03 on www.asos.com; Collective Concepts polka dot blouse for $59 on www.piperlime.com; Forever 21 polka dot dress for $24.80 on www.forever21.com; Tulle pleated waist polka dot coat for $99 on www.piperlime.com; Oasis spot print wide leg pants for $82.33 on www.asos.com; Lipsy spotted bow front blouse for $64.03 on www.asos.com; Forever 21 polka dot skirt for $17.80 on www.forever21.com; Daniel Rainn polka dot top for $64 on www.piperlime.com; ASOS spot dress with collar for $73.18 on www.asos.com; Banana Republic polka dot cardigan for $69.50 on www.bananarepublic.com; Boutique by Jaegerpolka dot silk wrap dress for $364.07 on www.asos.com.

THIS Wednesday, September 14th: Rowe Boutique Fall Fashion Show

THIS Wednesday, September 14th join Rowe Boutique for a runway presentation featuring some of fall's hottest trends. The V.I.P. cocktail hour starts at 7:00 p.m., general seating begins at 8:00 p.m., and the show starts at 8:30 p.m. Ticket sales will benefit the jack roth fund and are $75 each for V.I.P. tickets or $45 each for general admission. To purchase tickets, call (614) 299-7693 or e-mail events@roweboutique.com. The show will be located at 211 North Fifth Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 on the 3rd floor.

On a personal note, I went to this fashion show last year and had a great time. I'm super bummed that I won't be able to go this year because I'll be out of town, but I recommend that you attend if you can. In addition to the great styles on the runway, last year they had sort of a mini shop to purchase things after the show and you also got goodie bags filled with some great stuff!

Zara's U.S. E-commerce Website Is Now Operational!

Hang on to your purses ladies!  At long last, you can now shop Zara online from within the U.S., which is great news in particular for us C-bus ladies since we do not have a Zara nearby.  I briefly perused the website this afternoon and I've already located about five dresses that I want!!!  It appears that shipping will be free, but I am pretty sure that your purchase will be deemed a foreign transaction (much like shopping on asos.com) so you will be subject to foreign transaction fees and may also be subject to foreign duty taxes.  Here is a link to the e-commerce website: http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category/us/en/zara-us-W2011/128502/Woman.  Happy shopping and, if you get something, let me know what your e-shopping experience is like!

Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Trend: Stacked Loafers

The hottest footwear trend this fall and winter is undoubtedly the platform loafer pump.  This style appeared all over the AW2011 runways (Above: Yves Saint Laurent; Nichloas Kirkwood; Roger Vivier; Roberto Cavalli) and has already made its way into retail stores.  I really like this trend and am thinking of picking up a pair of loafer pumps to update my fall work wardrobe.  What's not to like about a traditional loafer shoe that gives you height?!?!  If you are liking this trend as much as I am, below are some loafer pumps that you may be interested in: True Religion "Hathaway" loafer for $160 on www.piperlime.com; Sam Edelman "Wesley" loafer for $150 on www.piperlime.com; "Quinn" loafer for $140 on www.bananarepublic.com; Promise Fever velvet loafer for $34.20 on www.urbanog.com; Boutique 9 "Night" loafer for $164 on www.lorisshoes.com; Marc by Marc Jacobs "Nena" loafer for $295 on www.piperlime.com; Lucky Brand "June" loafer for $119 on www.piperlime.com; Mia "Nolen" loafer for $59 on www.piperlime.com; Joan and David "Rillo" loafer for $210 on www.lorisshoes.com; "Mindy" loafer for $22.80 on www.urbanog.com; Naughty Monkey "Retro Glam" loafer for $99 on www.piperlime.com; Nine West "Abalene" loafer for $89 on www.ninewest.com.
