Eugenia Kim for Target Ad in Marie Claire


Eugenia Kim for Target Ad in Marie Claire

Target is partnering with accessories designer Eugenia Kim to launch a limited-edition hat collection, Eugenia Kim for Target, and there's a bold two-page ad in this month's Marie Claire to remind us! Eugenia Kim is a New York milliner whose high-end hats have been worn by such celebrities as Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham, and Alicia Keys, to name a few. Whereas Kim's signature fedora, newsboy and bucket hats cost hundreds at stores like Barney's and Net-a-Porter, you'll be able to shop these and other styles starting at just $16.99 online and in-stores April 18th (same day as Cynthia Vincent for Target!). I love that this collection was inspired by Cuba, and can't wait to get my hands on that chic straw fedora with the parrot button. Bring on the hats!

Cynthia Vincent for Target Collection


Earlier we got a sneak peek at the Cynthia Vincent for Target shoe collection thanks to Lucky mag, and now photos of the entire collection have been released, giving us many more reasons to be excited! The collection includes buckled wedge sandals, studded flats, and strappy ring flats as well as a multicolor printed wedge and African print ballet flat. Prices range from $24.99 to $29.99. I love them all. I kinda wish the wedges weren't so high because I'm tall to begin with (not complaining, just sayin'!) but I can deal. I love the printed wedges, had a similar-looking pair years ago by Xhilaration that were a surprise hit—so comfy because of the adjustable velcro strap plus a padded footbed that made it feel like you were walking on air. Hope these are lightweight and just as great! Keep reading to see all the shoes from a new angle…

Cynthia Vincent for Target Ad in Lucky Magazine

I had completely forgotten that Cynthia Vincent was teaming up with Target to do a line of cheap-chic footwear until I cracked open my May 2010 issue of Lucky magazine and saw a big, glossy two-page ad announcing the news! Among her many accolades, Cynthia Vincent is the designer behind last summer's "It" shoe, the towering, zip-front Luella wedge sandal, beloved by countless celebrities and fashion bloggers alike. And actually, the Luella is destined to be super hot this summer, too, for it's leg-lengthening, wear-with-everything brilliance. But for those of us who can't drop $400+ on the Luella, we'll be able to get our hands on Target's version for just $29.99 come April 18th. Mark your calendars, this is going to be nuts!
