Jason Wu for Target!

As everyone knows, I love a good designer collaboration. But, I am particularly excited about Jason Wu for Target. Wu gained fame when he designed Michelle Obama's Inauguration gown three years ago. The past two seasons (Fall 11 and Spring 12) have been Wu's strongest, with his signature lady like silhouettes with luxe fabrics and detailing.
After months of teaser images, the full lookbook is finally out! Here are my favorite pieces:

really pretty look, and I already own a similar skirt!

kitty scarf!

love the flippy skirt and the bold color

I want that blouse! (also comes in white)

very reminiscent of Spring 12 runway.

Brooklyn adventures.

Today was the first Sunday I've had off in a VERY long time. I was looking online, and all of a sudden, I saw these Cynthia Vincent gladiator sandals I had to have from Target. So, I spontaneously decided to venture to Brooklyn and go to Target to get said sandals!
The sandals were actually sold out....*tear*.....but I still had a great afternoon aimlessly wandering the aisles like I used to do at home!

The sky was unbelievably blue once I got off the subway—this picture is unedited! Even though I didn't get the sandals, I still had oodles of fun. Also, I ran into my New School friend Daniel near my dorm! I found out he's staying in the city this summer. yay!! I can't wait for all of our random, spontaneous adventures!

I NEED this dress. NOW.

liberty of london X Target.

I hadn't previously heard of Liberty of London, but when I saw pictures of the collaboration with Target, I knew it was destiny and I've been eagerly awaiting the collection for about a month now. The best part of this collaboration is that it's not just women's clothing, it's also men's, children's, and home and kitchen ware! um, outfitting my future apartment/next year's dorm with Liberty of London? I think so.

To promote the collection in Manhattan, where there is no Target store, there was a pop-up shop across the street from Bryant Park which opened this past Wednesday. I went Friday morning—it was already sold out. UPSETTING. It reads:
"Due to an overwhelming response from out guests, we have sold out at this location. We apologize for the onconvenience and encourage you to visit your local Target store or log on to Target.com?Liberty on Sunday, March 14th to purchase the collection."
So, my mumma tells me to go online at midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning, which I did about 20 minutes ago. It is now Sunday, March 14th. Why am I unable to purchase the collection?! whatever am I to do?!

spring break plans.

I have four more days of classes before a glorious week off for spring break. I had decided in the summer that for spring break I was going to stay in New York, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Yes, only two of my close friends are staying, but I'm going to take the week to frolic in the streets of Manhattan and do everything that I've wanted and been meaning to do. This includes: museum excursions (MOMA, Cooper-Hewitt, possibly the Guggenheim), strolling in various NYC public parks (Union sq, Washington sq, the High Line, possible Central Park), and eating lovely, lovely food. Of course, this is just a tentative plan, but I do know that one thing I absolutely must do is go to target. 

Why, you may ask? Well, I love target. love. And, next Sunday, March 14 the Liberty of London for Target line is released! I don't know too, too much about Liberty of London besides that they are a high end accessories label based in London. I do know, however, that I absolutely NEED this dress in my life, and if the kitchenware and home furnishings are the same girly, whimsical, floral prints, this is my room next year.

Also, this past weekend the weather was in the 50's! How heavenly! I had a rather enjoyable Saturday afternoon on the Upper West Side with my friend Rom. We actually went to the New York Historical Society for a History of Comm assignment, but it was still quite a pleasant afternoon. This week is supposed to stay in the 50's, so I shall use this week as a preview for my spring wardrobe! joy!!
