Jackets from UK's New Look Turn Up at Target




A savvy BB reader by the name of Rachel recently wrote in to me to let us know that she spotted a stylish faux leather jacket in a rich camel color for $29.99 bearing an unfamiliar brand name on the label called New Look. Rachel wonders if this jacket might be from the UK fast-fashion chain by the same name (see newlook.com):

"The brand is New Look (with a funny looking w) and when I googled it I found this really chic and inexpensive UK (that explained the sizing running small) website. So apparently this isn't even a Target brand. It feels like a much more expensive jacket and quite a steal so I thought I'd share it with you in case they might be putting these in several Targets. I found it in the women's section, not the juniors and they had camel, black and possibly another color. They still had plenty black ones left, and there were some other designed jackets in the same grouping I think might have been from New Look also. Not sure." —Rachel

I haven't been able to find out anything from Target about a collab with New Look but this could be a cool move if it's true. Has anyone else spotted New Look clothing at their Target? Let me know if you do!


The Look for Less: Christian Louboutin 'Loubout' Ankle Boot

Christian Louboutin's 'Loubout' Wool Peep-Toe Ankle Boots are covered in wool with gold-tone buttons for a military feel. ($995, saksfifthavenue.com)


The Guess 'Owens' Ankle Boots takes a similar approach to the military trend with button-embellishment on a blue suede ankle boot for $139 at Macy's.
