Altuzarra has Arrived!!!

At long last, our Altuzarra pieces have arrived!! (http://altuzarra.com/) After anticipating this line for months and months, we were counting down the days until the launch on September 14. (http://www.target.com/c/altuzarra-for-target-brand-shop/-/N-556tx#?lnk=snav_rd_altuzarra&orginalSearchTerm=altuzzara)  This was on par with the launch of Isabel Marant pour H & M.  Joseph Aluzarra is an incredibly talented young designer.  Only barely in his 30s, he is already taking the fashion world by storm.  With a respectable pedigree, he boasts internships at Marc Jacobs, apprenticed with Prorenza Schouler and Rochas, and has worked as first assistant to Givency's Riccardo Tici.  He launched his fashion brand, Altuzarra, in New York in 2008.  Mr. Altuzarra is the 2014 CFDA Womensware Designer of the Year.  This collection for Target, was designed with the working woman in mind.  It reflects classic tailoring with a sexy and mysterious twist.  The black trench coat is an amazing anchor piece for your wardrobe.  As the finishing touch to any outfit, the trench is incredibly flattering and versatile.  It is dressy enough to wear to the opera, but perfectly appropriate for your daily trek to the office.  I absolutely adore the python print.  The print is not a garish snake print.  It is masterfully created and as sophisticated as any you will see on couture runways.  It is especially striking with the black trench, or layered with the python pencil skirt.  In this collection, Altuzarra is not afraid to go for a sexy and edgy look with thigh-high slits.  I think many offices are fine with this look, but if you are on the shy side you can save these pieces for nights out.  Altuzarra has interestingly offered a look for any event.  The fashion sweatshirts are very tom-girl chic.  They can be paired with jeans for casual day or dressed up with a skirt for work.  I really love them.  The red peasant dress is fabulous.  It is the perfect color of red, not too orange or too blue.  Truly glorious, this is the red from Chris de Brugh's song "Lady in Red". :) It will make you look amazing..that's all I can say.  The dress is very comfortable and easy to wear.  Overall, my sister and I are thrilled with this collection. Joseph Altuzarra, thank you for this! A true gift to fashionistas everywhere!

Juicy Couture for Kohl's

Worry not lovers of Juicy Couture!! You favorite brand is now at your local Kohl's.  I am excited about this move...although nothing can replace the adorable Juicy Couture boutiques in my heart.  My sister and I checked out the local Kohl's in Murrieta today and found some great pieces.  Yes, track suits abound!! I have so many track suits already, but if you need one this is a great buy.  It is the same Juicy look you love for much, much less.  My sister bought some amazing Juicy Couture boots for the fall/winter season.  I don't think you will be disappointed by this collection, and your wallet will thank you :)

Altuzarra Madness!

I woke up a little late this morning...about 7 a.m.  Unfortunately, that was already too late to get the coveted trenches and blazers.  They were sold out by 6 a.m.!! I spent about an hour or so picking out the items.  Scored the Python Blouse, Python t-shirt, Python Long Sleeved Tee, Green Python sweatshirt, Orchid Sweatshirt, Orchid Blouse, Crane Sweater, Python Skirt, and Ruby Peasant Dress!! I am really excited to get the items in the mail.  Later in the day, my sister and I even stopped off at our local Target to see the clothes in person.  It is a really sexy, sophisticated, and fun look.  The selection at the store was really unimpressive.  Not because so much had sold, but because the store just didn't get very much inventory.  Stay tuned for a full report when we get the items!
