Sorry, I’m super late on this Missoni post from Fashion’s Night Out. I’ll work on my consistency! Hopefully you all had a chance to snag some Missoni for Target stuff because I’m sure by now the collection is completely sold out. A friend and I went to the launch of the Missoni x Target pop up store in Bryant Park, NYC before  it reached Target stores. On top of arriving an hour and a half early, we waited on a nearly 3 hour line to get in, then another hour line to pay after enduring the chaos inside. During the first two hours of the entire 2-floor store, I would say nearly everything sold out. With those prices, its no surprise. Here are a few of my favorite items that I got. Ta-ta!

Seeing Spots

Fall/Winter 2011 seems like a collaboration of very diverse trends into one huge, fashion overload (in a great way). First we saw jewel-toned hues, then the eclectic mixture of suede with leather, and of course combination of textured patterns everywhere. Now, designers all over are seeing spots! Everyone from Marc Jacobs to Stella McCartney is implementing polka-dots into their collections. Although we’ve seen it on the runways, it may be a little much for your daily ensemble to contain all pieces polka-dot; but add one dotted statement piece for a very well-rounded (pun intended) wardrobe!

1. Long spot clutch, $37, Asos. 2. Stella McCartney vita polka-dot tulle blouse, $1,195, Net-a-Porter. 3. Marc Jacobs polka-dot wool fleece pencil skirt, $995, Net-a-Porter. 4. Marc Jacobs spotted teddies shearling hobo bag, $1,495, Net-a-Porter. 5. Free People staying cool skort, $58 $29, Shopbop. 6. Diane von Furstenberg markie fine-jersey tunic, $225, Net-a-Porter. 7. MinkPink stop and stare polka-dot chiffon blouse, $82, Asos. 8. Yves Saint Laurent arty dot ring, $250, SSENSE. 9. Commando polka dot tights, $32, Shopbop. 10. Marc Jacobs polka-dot cashmere and silk-blend scarf, $450, Net-a-Porter. 11.
