The long awaited moment has finally arrived: The Target for Missoni collection is here! At the moment this post was written, I'm noticing a few pieces are already sold out, like a throw, one of the jar candles, a toss pillow covered in fabric loops and those lovely suede pumps (which to me look better in the photos than in real life, but they're still pretty). In other words, go now if there's something you'll regret not getting. If you happened to stay up last night and you know the exact moment the Missoni collection went live, please let us know in the comments! Also, let me know what you buy online or in stores. I'm going to get some bath accessories online and then see what my store has in a few days.

Missoni for Target Collection

Yesterday I covered my first show for Dashing Diva, the pro nail divas who were creating the safari-themed looks at new-to-me designer Jad Ghandour for his Spring 2012 fashion week presentation. When I heard Ghandour would be featuring live tigers at his show (that's right, live tigers!) I knew the nails were going to be fierce - and they were.

The starting point for Carlos Miele's Spring 2012 collection entitled Immersive Landscape was a virtual paradise, an imaginary world where the lines between what is artificial and what is natural are blurred. These abstract concepts were translated into ethereal caftans, sultry cocktail dresses and dramatic evening gowns marked by fluid lines, sleek sculptural forms and vibrant digital prints (one featured goldfish). Carlos Miele always embraces color, and this season the Brazilian designer went for bright orange, teal and aqua. My favorite looks were on the subtler side, like a black and white swirl print top paired with a flowy white skirt, or a gleaming white one-shoulder Grecian gown with a shiny gold belt. It was a surreal show and a surreal moment when I realized that this was my third Carlos Miele show - does that mean I'm not a Fashion Week rookie anymore...?

I'll make an exception to cover menswear during Fashion Week when it involves Nautica and The Empire Hotel Rooftop lounge. There, I said it. For their Spring 2012 collection, Nautica was inspired by a California road trip, from Malibu to Monterey. There were sporty vintage-prep looks like coral denim paired with chambray shirts and boatshoes; surfer inspired looks marked by bright colorblocking; and classic navy and white ensembles that epitomize Nautica's homage to the America Coast - and the strapping young men who live by it (or just want to look it).

After seeing Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2012 show, I'm certain of one thing: Bold prints aren't going anywhere. Specifically, colorful, futuristic, distorted prints aren't going anywhere. Think back to last spring at Prada and you'll know where I'm going with this. Contrasting with the wild prints were ladylike skirts and then skirts over pants. Complementing were sporty leggings, scuba fabric and leather mesh tees. I kinda loved it. The models glowed on the gold runway that was both retro and space-age at the same time, and subtle gold detailing on some of the looks bounced that gold light perfectly. And the chunky-heeled shoes! I could see both Alexa Chung and Lindsay Lohan, who were seated front-row, wearing pieces from this collection in radically different ways.
