Faux fur can go horribly wrong whether it's done on a champagne or beer budget. Target has attempted to bring this top fall trend into focus with an assortment of faux fur shrugs. I think they succeeded with the cat print shrug ($39.99) and the brown/black minx ($39.99), but failed miserably with the gray-tipped mystery-animal (a Yeti perhaps?). I love faux fur and don't want to dismiss this collection entirely as I think it depends on what else you wear and how you wear it. Fashion Toast could probably make any of these shrugs look stellar. I, on the other hand, would probably look silly. Anyone feeling the faux-fur at Target?

Back on October 10th, I posted a Lucky mag ad that gave us our first look at the Carlos Falchi for Target handbag collection, which will be sold at Target stores and online at Target.com from November 1 through December 24. Now the press photos are out so we can drool over the entire collection! I will definitely be purchasing something from this line. Haven't been this excited about a designer collab in a while. I love looks 1, 3, 5 and 10 the most. It'll be hard choosing which one(s) to buy although the prices are very reasonable, ranging from $19.99 to $49.99. Are you looking forward to this line? What's your favorite look?

An ad for the upcoming Carlos Falchi for Target handbag collaboration in the November 2009 issue of Lucky magazine afforded me my first look at the collection, which will be sold at Target stores and online at Target.com from November 1 through December 24. The dark green croc-print patchwork bag above is $49.99. Resistance is futile. I can't wait to see more!
