Select members of the press have been asked to preview the Zac Posen x Target collaboration this afternoon. Tipsters are now reporting that the line includes some of Zac's "best-of" prints and Target's very first gown! But, this isn't any ordinary gown. It has been pitched as a convertible prom dress- meaning you can wear it 3 different ways. The range also consists of printed separates, bathing suits, two belts and a Michael Jackson inspired red leather jacket!
The distribution will also be the largest of any Target collaboration- beating McQueen for the #1 spot.
Doesn't look like we'll be seeing any images just yet- as Target had everyone sign confidentially agreements. I guess they learned their lesson from the Rodarte preview? I can't wait to check it out. Are you excited?

VANS has been on the top of my sneaker list for the past few months. Not only do they offer some of the hottest men's shoes, but they have been really improving their women's offering as well. For spring 2010 they’re releasing their take on the classic saddle-shoe (an ever growing trend for Winter '09 / Spring '10). My heart melted at the sight of the butter soft leather version (pictured above). The new shoe is called the "Sophie" and it will drop in January/February. Do you like these?

Bag designer Devi Kroellis bringing you a new take on a classic tote! I love the way she's twisted the handles & created a new silhouette for the closure.
However, the beautifully spacious bag (15" x 26") comes with a hefty price tag of $2,590.00. If you are feeling this perfect cranberry color, head over to her site and check out the Classic Twist Bag in Waxed Python. If in NYC, check it out in person at 717 Madison Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets.
x happy shopping! (or in my case, drooling)

Although Shakira only stands at 4'11, i-D magazine definitely makes her appear larger than life! As if the "She Wolf" video wasn't steamy enough... Shakira gets sexy in an all leather outfit for her spread in i-D. I remember when she used to rock black hair in her pre-crossover days. What do you think of the new look?

For a person who doesn't wear heels everyday, I always get excited when I find a pair of fashionable flats! I need something I can run around in comfortably, but still look fly! These flirty flats came my way via Jeffery Campbell. I love the way the two-tone ribbons compliments the soft teal leather. Super Cute! If you are looking for something just a little more understated- these flats also come in a very chic black & tan combo.
