Bullseye! The Shops at Target

If you missed out on Missoni for Target, there's still Jason Wu. But if you can't pencil a Feb. 5 shopping extravaganza into your busy schedule (hello, you won't have a life until fashion week is over!), you've still got a chance to get your hands on affordable designer goods. Beginning May 6, Target will open The Shops at Target, a series of mini boutiques akin to the ever-popular pop-up store. Meaning, designer retailers will roll out Target-exclusive products that will be available for two to four months at a time, at Target stores around the nation.

The mass retailer's first lineup includes Miami's luxury shop The Webster, Aspen's beauty retailer Cos Bar, Connecticut's decor and home goods store Privet House, San Francisco's sweet shop The Candy Store, and Boston's dog toys and treats from Polka Dog Bakery. With more than 400 items in prices ranging from $1 to $160, there's a little something for everyone. So, the next time you're picking up laundry detergent, check out The Shops — as if we didn't already have enough of a reason to go to Target!

Jason Wu Takes on Target

If you’re still pining after that pair of zigzagged flats that slipped through your hands during the Missoni for Target launch, get your camping gear ready for another shopping frenzy — the Jason Wu for Target collection is on its way. The red carpet favorite, who is the go-to designer for ladies like Camilla Belle and Michelle Obama (who famously wore one of his dresses to the Inaugural Ball), maintained his signature sense of class in feminine pieces, such as pleated dresses, boxy satchels, and pretty blouses accented with bows and neckties. The designer’s muse for his super sweet collection? French New Wave films, particularly actress Jean Seberg (hence the frequent Peter Pan collars). It’s the same prim and proper panache you loved about his spring 2012 line, except this time, nothing is over $60.

So mark your calendars, girls. Jason Wu’s self-proclaimed “gamine chic” collection is set to hit Target stores on Feb. 5. Be sure to get there early — and cross your fingers that no one’s armed with pepper spray.
