All Things Fashionating by tracy mausser

Mossimo Jumpsuit @ Target Two years ago, I was looking for an outfit for my husband's 40th birthday weekend in Vegas.  I found the perfect black strapless jumpsuit at Bebe of all places.  A bit on the dressy side, that one-piece wonder has certainly received its fair share of wear. However, one of the hottest trends of this summer season, still seem to be jumpsuits but not just your basic black.  We are seeing lots of prints in Diane von Furstenberg's collection and other top designers like Stella McCartney, Vena Cava and Elie Saab are in on the action too. Lightweight fabrics in sleeveless, strapless and halter styles are just a tad bit dressier than a maxi dress and keep you looking and feeling cool during these hot summer months. If you are concerned about breaking the bank,  Mossimo at Target has the cutest jumpsuit right now.  A convertible knit jersey gives you oodles of options to take this jumpsuit from day to night.  It comes in bas...

So, I set my alarm for about 5 a.m. yesterday morning, only to realize that I was already too late to purchase Missoni for Target online.  Target.com had crashed and my dream of purchasing my Missoni flats while in the comfort of my own jammies had become a nightmare. I had to switch into plan B. On the way to the freeway, I made an impulsive decision to stop by a local Target in Redondo Beach. As I pulled up, there were a few women waiting for the doors to open, but it certainly wasn’t the mob scene that my friend Rachel reported from the Manhattan Beach Target Greatland. At 8 a.m. on the dot, I rushed into the store – with about a dozen other women.  As I was headed up the escalator, I realized that I didn’t have a game-plan; but my fellow shoppers certainly seemed to have strategies. And their off... I watched in awe as most of them grabbed shopping carts and, as if they were on that game show “Supermarket Sweep,” they were off and shopping.  Once everyone...

Only one day left until the Missoni for Target line is available to the public.  The Italian fashion house has been selling its colorful knit patterns since 1953, but my closet is sadly missing any real representation.  With Target's newest designer collaboration -- which includes clothing, home decor and kitchenware -- I am hoping to make that Missoni change. I am really crushing hard on the Ikat print bike that hit the bulls-eye for me; but I will settle for these super cute flats that I just adore. I'll be setting my alarm clock super early on Tuesday morning to hopefully score them online because they are going to go fast! http://www.target.com/Missoni
