I couldn't resist. J.Crew unveiled some new arrivals this week and I had to buy these Penelope flats:

P.S. Those are the girls' Penelopes; the grown-up version of the flats comes in other colors.
Yes, you read right: I said Christmas.
Mark your calendars. Target has just announced two limited-edition collections that will be available in stores October 12-December 26. Anya Hindmarch and Sigerson Morrison!
I convinced myself that I need a green handbag and picked up this Gryson for Target tote this weekend:

It's been about a year since I was first introduced to the awesomeness that is designer Ivana Helsinki's work. (Eden&Eden, a fantastic store in SF, is one of the few shops in the country to carry this label.) Recently, I was doing a search to see if I could score some IH goods online and I came across Huset which specializes in items from Scandinavian. In addition to IH dresses that I love, there's a lot of cool housewares. Such as:

Huset is definitely getting bookmarked.
I am trying to resist buying this dress, by Madison Marcus:


But the scallops! The adorable racerback! I'm not sure I can deny my closet this much cuteness.
This cropped leather jacket is called the "Lindsay." It retails for $880. Can you guess the label?

MEMBERS freaking ONLY. No, seriously.
There's more where this came from: Revolve Clothing carries this jacket, as well as other leather ones, and MO mini-dresses.
The latest collection by this New York label is just starting to show up online. I like. Especially the dresses.




Pssst ... The arrival of the spring line means that the Fall 2007 goods are deeply discounted now!
These days, more often than not, I've got a pair of Converse on my feet. Which is why I'm intrigued by the collection of apparel and footwear that the company is launching next month exclusively at Target.

You can view the entire image album right here.
Look what recently arrived at the Saks online shop! New Loeffler Randall goodies!




Actually, they're only available for pre-order, but they'll probably be snapped up quickly (especially the shoes). As someone who wears jeans, sneakers and t-shirts to work most days, I have no business buying any of this well, maybe the boots? but they sure are pretty to look at.
I love the city and area-code jewelry by Root'd In Style. (Several other locales are also available.)

I think Alice Temperley's may be my favorite yet of Target's "GO International" collections.

The Temperley line hits stores next month.
Jon and I recently embarked on his annual shopping excursion. Once a year, he agrees to buy a batch of new clothes. This year, a new pair of flip flops was on his shopping list. But I kid you not, we could not find any plain ol' men's flip flops. They all had some weird gimmicky thing going on. Like the pair that had a bottle opener on the bottom of the sole. Or the pair with a screw-cap canteen in the heel.
Huh? So weird.
