Good old Target has done it again. Another hot designer is gracing the GO International line with her talent (not to mention, concern for us budget-stricken college girls): Erin Fetherston. Thanks to Glamour editor Ashley Baker at Glamour.com, the word is out.
As the announcement is extremely recent, samples of the designs have not yet leaked their way to the public.
Based on the young designers previous collections, the pieces for Go International may bear resemblance to Fetherston’s couture designs — oh la la.
Her signature style consists of dreamy dresses in silky/rich materials with a very feminine flare.
Compared to the tackiness of the Libertine collection that Lauren highlighted , it looks like Fetherston’s girly touch may be exactly what Target needs to redeem themselves.
I cannot wait to pound down those red doors, once her line hits the racks.
For designers whose line has been hailed by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel fame, I expected more. Instead, the new sneak peak of the Libertine for Target line left my eyes bleeding and a little bit of throw-up in my mouth. The psychedelic patterns reminded me too much of Austin Powers and the prep-meets-punk look they were going for ended up looking more like the wardrobe of a Nantucket mother with a bit of misplaced rage.
Sadly, there are only a few pieces I don’t despise. The striped shirt dress is cute as is the tree screen printed tee. For the most part, it really seems like the only few things the Libertine duo got right were the basics: a black skirt, a black dress, a white blouse. And for designers whose “uniquely aggressive aesthetic” (read: fashion forward look) was what set them apart for the rest, this gag-worthy clothing collection neither says unique—or aggressive—to me.
What do you think about the new Libertine for Target collection?
Yeah, I wear push-up bras, and I’m not afraid to admit it.
In fact, these days I don’t touch anything that isn’t Styrofoamy or unidentifiable liquidy. Sure, that lacy thing is pretty, but if it ain’t padded, it ain’t perfect.
My boobs aren’t small. They’re not big either. They’re right in the middle, somewhere between I’m-Running-Free-In-A-Backless-T-Shirt! and Even-Straight-Girls-Stare-At-Them!
Growing up, I was so freaked out by my body that I would grab things off the rack at Target without even looking, and thus have never truly figured out my size.
Somewhere along the line I realized that knowing your exact bra size wasn’t as important as the padding that pushed the boobs up, and since then, I’ve made it my hobby the find all the new kinds of padding and try them all out personally. Read More »
Every year, every season, fashion seems to be pretty particular. Kind of like the bitty old women who order their salads with extra tomato, hold the croutons, dressing on the side, and please use ONLY romaine lettuce– fashion trends the past few years have been distinct and particular.
Skinny jeans, vests, bubble dresses and wedges were seen in the collections of every designer from Marc Jacobs to Miu Miu to the guest designers for Target. I always like the idea of being told what’s “in.” My eye gets used to the new styles quickly and I felt sooo like LiLo (Lindsay Lohan) this year in my skinny jeans, skull tops and black nail polish.
So what gives now? Clearly the fashion geniuses of the world have been slacking/ not collaborating/ doing too many drugs to have any sort of open communication. Or maybe they decided to throw the ways of uniformity out the window and let originality take over, but either way, I for one am confused! It’s a smorgasbord of fashion out there and anything goes. Super-skinny, super wide, low rise, high-waisted (um, helllllo camel toe), big and printed shirts like the ones my grandma rocks when she goes to get her hair done, or form fitted and boyish (have you seen this springs Gap collection? boy scouts anyone?) Fashion this season is more fickle then I am at an ice-cream store (and trust me I am FI-CKLE). Read More »
For some reason I get unusually excited about new GO! International lines at Target — I mean that place is a freakin’ god-send.
So when designer discounted clothes hit the racks, I’m there, day one, ready to shove other girls and grab my size in absolutely everything. It doesn’t matter how hideous a tank top or pairs of shorts is, I’m trying it on! (So watch out, bitches). Hey, it made sound totally insane, but I know I’m not the only one. All that matters is I always leave good old Target with a smile on my face and really cute, cheap purchases. Read More »
Target is like a playland of wonderfulness. There is row after row of things I don’t need, but must own right now. Take for example the adorable spice rack I bought for myself around Christmas time. Four months later, it has yet to see a single spice. But it looks great on my kitchen counter. And the Dollar Aisles? Don’t even get me started.
This past time I went to Target, I actually had a goal: Avert eyes from everything else, head straight for new Proenza Schouler line. I’ve been a fan of them since they debuted, and couldn’t believe Target had grabbed them for the awesome GO International Line. Read More »
Ok so it’s not exactly spring yet; it’s that in between period. It’s not to cold but not warm enough to sport a full on spring look. I am so itching to go “spring” from head to toe , but there is a difference between being fashion forward and looking just plain old out of season. As I struggle with trying to dress appropriately for the weather, I decided it is time to layer!
Below are my favorite looks from Proenza Schouler for Target, that show the layering technique perfectly. Plus, these looks are amazingly affordable and perfect class, hanging on the quad or a night at the bar.

Big news!!!
Yeah, I wear
