 Mmkay, so, Mulberry bags are EFFING GORGEOUS. This is precisely why the line’s attempt at a fast fashion collection is so ludicrous: Target-produced pleather, canvas, velvet, PVC, et. al. can’t hold a candle to buttery leather bags in the $750 – $1,150 range.

 It appears even my stellar brand knowledge is susceptible to trickery. In spite of similar name/logo styling, the Sevens Jean Shorts on which I previously posted are NOT 7 for All Mankind. The real deal also goes for around $17.00 at Buff Ex, so I’m guessing . . . → GO ON… Sevens Retraction, Mulberry for Target

 Fashionista released the first images of Zac Posen for Target last week. Here’s my knee-jerk reaction to a selection of the JPEGs.
The Raincoat – dig the color, cut looks reasonably flattering.
The Ruched Skirt – meh overall, demerits for an in-between length that makes 90% of . . . → GO ON… Zac Posen for Target All Kinds of Ick

 Yesterday afternoon, I checked out the second installment of Jil Sander x Uniqlo (a.k.a. +J). It did not disappoint. The Spring collection proved more varied than its Winter counterpart, but still managed to maintain Sander’s sleek, minimalist chic.
Egads! I just sounded like a fashion writer there. . . . → GO ON… Dressing Room Shots: Uniqlo + J Spring 2010

 This outfit represents the Triad of Post-Recession Shopping:
When you’re on a tight budget, extraneous purchases often come with a side helping of guilt. If shopping is to be fun, we must get the guilt OUT. Ranked in accordance with the level of guilt our purchases are . . . → GO ON… The Triad of Post-Recession Shopping

 Target announced an upcoming collabs with Zac Posen today, and everyone’s flipping their respective nuts. This bean-spillage on behalf of the big box is a highly strategic move: It’s almost enough to distract me from the ‘collection’ slated to launch in a few weeks. Almost.

 Before discussing the individual offerings of Jimmy Choo for H&M, I’m going to attempt to rationalize the pricing scheme behind the line. The designer from whence said line comes is Tamara Mellon, the brand’s founder and president. Her Wikipedia page bears the cautionary warning: This article . . . → GO ON… Jimmy Choo Gives H&M Shoppers Chance to Experience Monetary Guilt

Fast fashion merch is made quickly and cheaply, and pitched to we-the-consumers as a means to a material fix that won’t break our respective banks. This is, of course, horseshit.

Now lookee here, I’m all about beauteous designer shoes – they’re pretty, I like to look at them. I appreciate the craftsmanship that undoubtedly substantiates their $1000 price tags. I’m just not about to pay for it, and neither are you, and that’s precisely why Jimmy . . . → GO ON… Stupid Things in Style: Fast Fashion Footwear

Tell editorial fashion peeps you’re in the market for faux, and you’ll likely be directed to Joie’s $318 Glimmer Faux Fur Vest, Juicy Couture’s $328 Faux Fur Cropped Easy Coat or What Comes Around Goes Around’s $495 St. Morritz Faux Fur Jacket.
