Last night Target and Phillip Lim hosted a private shopping event in celebration of 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target before the collection launches on Sept. 15. Contributor Vanessa Williams Stevenson represented for The Budget Babe and said it was an absolute madhouse! Celebs in attendance such as Jessica Alba and Solange wore pieces from the line, giving us some additional inspiration beyond the lookbook as far as styling and how the clothes might look in real life. The "Boom" sweatshirt is growing on me...

What's on your wishlist?

The Catherine Malandrino for DesigNation exclusively at Kohl's lookbook is here, showcasing the French designer's budget-fashion collection which hits stores September 27th. Malandrino's love for Paris shines through in this classic and sophisticated collection with pieces ranging from $30 to $130. Like much of the fall fashions I've been seeing in stores this season, the color palette is overwhelmingly dark, dominated by black and a few deep gemstone hues. Playful mottos like "Je t'aime Paris" and Eiffel Towers on sweaters lighten the mood (and at times feel a bit forced when styled with cliche berets). Overall though this is an exciting and strong collab that I can't wait to see in person - especially the Tour Eiffel Tower Embroidered Dress (above, $78) and the Cutout Shirt Dress ($88) seen on Olivia Palermo. You know everything will go on sale, too, making the pricepoints super affordable.

Check out the looks and let me know what you think in the comments!

Have you seen the new Target commercial for the upcoming 3.1 Phillip Lim collection yet? I saw it for the first time last night on TV and it definitely caught my attention, even before I could tell what it was for. The clothing line drops September 15th in select stores and online at target.com. You can review the entire lookbook or see our real-life photos from the press preview to draw up your shopping list. This stuff is going to fly off the shelves (especially the bags) so plan ahead!
