Patrick Robinson for Target

Patrick Robinson has been tapped as the newest designer for Target's limited edition Go clothing line. Robinson, who began his career creating surfer clothes for his cohorts in Southern California then took his talents to NYC. Graduating from the Parsons School of Design, Robinson then worked for some of the best known fashion houses including Perry Ellis and Giorgio Armani. Currently working for the French fashion label Paco Rabanne, Robinson is known for bringing a modern feel to classic silhouettes.

I first saw a jacket from his collection in my newest issue of InStyle and made up my mind to go take a look at my local Tarjhay. I traipsed to Target the next day and found the jacket that I saw in the magazine but it was only in an extra small. "Must...find...jacket.." I mumbled, heading to yet another Target the next day where I only found another extra small and an extra large jacket. Not to be outdone, I marched myself into yet another Target and lo and behold there was a whole rack full of jackets, MY jacket:

Here are some other looks from the collection:

Found: Black Wide leg pants

I just received these black pants from Victoria's Secret and I LOVE them! They are wide legged, come in tall length and fit great. One of my co-workers actually told me to order some after I complained that I never thought that my pants were long enough.

I also have these black wide legged pants that also fit fantastic (a little big in the waist but makes my butt look great so that's always a plus!) I am going to get them tailored, that would totally ruin the experience if I had to worry about my pants being too big. Also wide leg and also long length. These are actually a heavier weight so I can wear them now and they will be perfect for the cooler weather. They also have a wide waist and hook and eye closure.

Make sure if you go wide, opt for a fitted top to balance it out.

I adore this top, the cinched waist, the shape of the sleeves, and the print and colors are great. I can see this look with long white wide leg pants for work or paired with bermuda shorts for the weekend.

In a Convertible

Love your favorite summer dress but want some variety? Try a convertible dress that you can wear in a plethora of ways. (Yes, I said plethora, that was one of my favorite words growing up!)
Off the shoulder, as a halter, even as a skirt you can use your imagination and come up with combinations that maybe even the designer didn't think of.

Sarah Jessica Parker : Bitten

Well I am probably the last to know but apparently our favorite fashionista, Miss Carrie Bradshaw herself is developing a clothing line. Sarah Jessica Parker is partnering with bargain retailer Steve & Barry's to unveil "Bitten" a line that according to Parker is "affordable, well made and slightly trendy." All of the clothing from the Bitten line is priced under $20 which would normally make me tremble with anticipation but I have not read any favorable reviews of the line and pics are scarce since Steve & Barry's threatened to sue over the pics that were leaked. I did a search for Steve & Barry's and we have one in Grapevine Mills outlet mall that is surprisingly near my job. I will definitely check out the line, which premiers June 7th in stores and give the style verdict. To check out what SJP has to say about her clothing line, pick up the latest issue of Glamour mag or read the the interview here.
