The Look for Less.

While it's not the first time a designer has hooked up with a retail giant, it certainly has reached a whole new level recently with Target leading the way. Its newest partner - Jean Paul Gaultier. Oh.em.geeee.

It's been 6 months since the news broke about JPG and Target partnering up and finally the wait is over. My local store has only just begun to get anything in stock (damn Ohio...) but, if you're lucky enough to have the line available near you, you'd better not wait long. Pieces are already sold out online in just a few short days. The line ranges from $17.99 - $199.99 -- bargain basement prices from the reigning King of Couture.

My favorite piece (and the most expensive, naturally) is the cropped Moto Jacket. I think I need it in my life.

Another retailer to partner up with designers is Payless. Alice + Olivia, Isabel Toledo and Chritistian Siriano are among the names to design a line of shoes and accessories for the footwear giant in recent months. I *heart* Christian Siriano in a serious way and was beyond excited to snag a pair of shoes from his collection.

Be still my beating heart....



I'll probably never wear them. I'll just admire them in my closet on the shelf I've reserved for the most special of all my shoes. And since I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for them,

the only buyer's remorse I'll feel is that I'm depriving the world of such beauty. ;)
