“So soon as a fashion is Universal, it is out of date.” -Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

If you aren't paying attention to what's going on in the fashion world, then you can find yourself completely out of the loop in like 2 months. I'm talking, you're wearing shit that absolutely no one is checking for. Fashion never stands still. It's a constant race to see who can be most cutting edge and fashion forward. And season after season, we get something new to swoon over and talk about. But there are only a few that are willing to be the guinea pigs and go out and sport these new looks. And then the people that were paying attention follow suit. And then it gets to a point where everyone's caught on. And by that time, designers and fashionistas have been on-to-the-next for months. It's weird like that, huh?

Anyway, this is one of my favorite looks that I put together from my Peter Pilotto x Target items. :)

Style Post: Peter Pilotto x Target Look 1.

Sweatshirt: Peter Pilotto x Target / White jeans: Target / Heels: Forever 21 / Wallet: Deu Lux

Peter Pilotto creates fun designs with the most amazing patterns that would normally be too expensive for the average gal to afford. Thanks to designer collaborations with stores like Target and H&M, we get high fashion designs that are now also affordable. Just as a reference point, a Peter Pilotto sweatshirt is normally $800, while this one retails $30. Bonkers, I know.

I planned on buying something from the Peter Pilotto for Target collection, maybe an item or two, but I ended up walking out of there with 4 things. I've styled each of those pieces in the way I thought was best for me. Be sure to check back throughout the week to see each look.

Did you get anything from the Peter Pilotto x Target collection? 

Melody Ehsani Reebok Pumps.

I've been a fan of Melody Ehsani for a while now, featuring her fabulous jewelry, cool nail wraps, and sneaker collaborations on the blog. This time around, she's back with Reebok to create a supremely cool Reebok Pump design....the first woman to collaborate on the Reebok Pump shoe.

Peter Pilotto x Target.

British brand Peter Pilotto has teamed up with Target for their first designer collection of 2014. The line is colorful with bold prints and patterns and perfect for spring. With most pieces under $60, this collection is truly affordable and would make an adorable Valentine's Day gift. Items include slip on tennis shoes, totes, swim suits, beach towels, sunglasses, dresses, tops, and bottoms....the full spectrum.

"Our brand is about print, yes, but it's also about the emotional feeling you can get from color & color combinations."- Peter Pilotto

Zac Posen x David's Bridal.

I love when designers work with stores to create more affordable lines. The average woman is deserving of some designer love from time to time, and seeing as though I'm getting married this year, it's super enticing looking at some of these dresses.

Truly Zac Posen, the new bridal line by Zac Posen, will be available in stores and online at David's Bridal starting February 6. This will include wedding and bridesmaids dresses. These amazingly glamorous dresses scream old Hollywood. And oh yea, prices range from $850 to $1350. Posen explained:

Isabel Marant x H&M Collection.

Just a small snippet of the full Isbael Marant collection for H&M. The collection has an obvious soft spot for rich fabrics like silk and leather and nice thick knitted sweaters. It is said to be more expensive than other designer collections for H&M, but judging by these pieces, it's due to the high quality of each item. The stuff looks good. 

Sweaters, jackets, pea coats, boots, sneakers, dresses...etc: It's a full collection for sure. The Isabel Marant collection will be in select stores starting November 14th. :) See the entire collection here.

PS: The last 2 rows feature the menswear. Cool, classic, and comfortable.

M.I.A x Versus Versace Capsule Collection.

Exuberant ass M.I.A. has teamed up with Versace to create a collection inspired by knock-off Versace pieces. Ingenious? Yes. Hoodrat? Probably. Will everyone and their mother (including me) want a piece of this collection? In-deed.

M.I.A. is collaborating with Versace to create a capsule collection for their more affordable line Versus Versace. Sounds interesting right?

Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal.

It's really no secret, but the 90s were like one of my favorite decades ever. One of those nostalgia filled, childhood memory enducing, trips back into time. And just in time for summer, Nasty Gal has teamed up with Lazy Oaf to produce a 90's filled collection of happiness and joy.

What you can expect:
1. Random cats (think Lisa Frank)
2. Lots of food prints
3. Crop Tops
4. Platforms and jellies
5. Ridiculously decorated jean jackets
6. Head to toe prints

Head over to Nasty Gal for your piece of the collection.
Now excuse me while I cruise away in my drop top Caddy, bumping Bone Thugs. Bone Bone. 

Peace.

Melissa x Forever 21.

The return of the Melissa...please tell me you are excited just a little bit. All this means, as you probably already know, is jellies are back. Us 90's kids already know the deal here. I want jellies; and I prefer them to be clear with gold or silver glitter, but these are adorable, nostalgic, and will certainly do.

So Melissa and F21 did a first time collaboration and produced these 5 pairs of sandals. My favorite style has got to be the Geo Mini-Wedge. The red and navy blue just pop. Melissas are super comfortable, with the PVC allowing the shoe to mold and move with your foot (well don't I sound jell-educated.) Just watch out for blisters. You can cop any of the sandals above over at Forever21.com for under $23.

Teyana Taylor x Adidas Sneaker Collaboration.

It was only a matter of time before Teyana got herself some type of clothing endorsement or sneaker deal. I mean, that is her thing after all.

Looks like Teyana Taylor and Adidas are collaborating on a new sneaker that is set to drop February 16 of next year. She Instagrammed the back of the shoe which is a bronzy color with what looks like a snake print pattern all over. The shoe also has tall black straps connecting the back..

What do you think? Would you be excited to buy this shoe?

Basso and Brooke Caps x Satchels.

Swan Lake Cap

Basso and Brooke  in the house! The London based printing company has produced 50 limited edition printed caps. Lots of flair and different designs. These are a few of my personal favorites, but there are so many more to choose from.

And not they teamed up with the Cambridge Satchel Company?! They make some of the dopest satchels and it seems like everybody is trying to get a collab in with them. Look at these beauties for the F/W 12 capsule collection.

Check out the hats plus their satchel collaboration with Cambridge Satchel Co. below:

Kitsune Cap

Not Wool Cap

New Flora Cap

Koi Cap

Tokyo Cap

There are so many other goodies on their site, like their dope sweatshirt collection, Coca-Cola, and really any of their other special projects.

Shit's legit.
We'll holla.
