Good morning, Wednesday. Had a fabulous class last night (fashion writing) and so enjoyed writing about the collections on the fly- it's my calling, of this I'm certain. But I had to leave class early cause there was no way I was going to miss the debates. And though I was going to take some cheap shots about binders full of women and blind trusts, I was smitten by a piece I saw this am on Target's holiday collaboration with Neiman Marcus, which includes just about every designer you've come to know, love, and COVET. This collection, on sale December 1st at all Target and Neiman Marcus sotres, does not disappoint- the prices are fabulous and there's gifts for everyone on your list. Refinery 29 showed all the pieces, (link to follow post), but wanted to share a few of my favs:
How amazeballs are those Brian Atwood gloves? Derek Lam slippers and skateboard? Um, yea. That Marc Jacobs scarf has husband written all over it, Tory Burch's thermos is a great way to be chic on the job, and Marc's little pouches are a great way to store your cords, plugs, and lipsticks when on the go. And Rag and Bone's flask and cup set are must haves when buying gifts for my favorite person, ME. I adore this set and know it would look lovely in my home, and in my pocket should I decide to check out the Mummers Parade on New Year's Day.
I get the feeling that the last collab round with Kirna Zabete was not as well received by the masses (though the Odin menswear collection was fantabulous), but this little stocking stuffer of a situation is going to be gangbusters for sure. Between this and Martin Margiela for H&M, I might combust. Tis the season to go shopping. Get an early jump on it, and start creating some binders on such pursuits while you're at it. And that's all I've got this four more years and early holiday fixating kind of Wednesday in Old New York. My name is the Maven and I've approved this message.XO
