Affordable Celebrity Lines
You may have heard of a little line by the name of Missoni for Target? It's showing up everywhere. Every magazine I have mentions it somewhere, many a celebutante has been seen wearing it around town. Don't just take my word for it check out the image above. If you're interested you better get up off that couch and head to your local Target store before it's sold out. It launched September 13th. Don't hate me but I can honestly say I'm not a fan of the patented Missoni stripe. It's not my thing. I generally do not like the colors that they use and the pattern is just too busy for my every day life. Sue me!
Missoni might not be my thing by JLo certainly is. Have you checked out her line at Kohls? Killer! I love the ads so I had to check it out in person. I have to say I'm a little bummed. The stuff didn't seem to be nearly as high quality I was hoping for the prices. JLo and the models look good in the ads but up close I think the clothes look cheap and don't feel as luxurious as they should for the price point. Ditto for Marc Anthony's men's line. That's just proof that you can't make luxury items on the cheap, it negates their elegance and overall feel.
Christian Siriano for Payless might be more up your alley. I have a huge shoe fetish and I can't help but love Christian, he's so cute. The more affordable line is cute and all but I'm head over heels (no pun intended!) for the Gold Collection. Aren't these booties super hot? If you stay pretty true to one size you can order them online here and pay only $5.95 shipping every day. How great is that? I just ordered a tee from OldNavy.com (certainly lighter than a hot pair of booties) and paid $8, ditto for another super lightweight purchase I made recently. At $69.99 these boots are still affordable and they're both edgy and classic at the same time. You could wear these for years to come.
Another line I really want to check out is Jessica Simpson's. I have some cute tights that I picked up at TJ Maxx but I want more stuff. I love the shoes she makes but I haven't seen any in person to pick them up. I absolutely adore the promotional pictures I've seen this fall. Jess looks fab, so what if she's put on a little weight, she still looks better than most people! Am I right? Give the girl some slack, she runs a BILLION dollar company. Sheesh! Someday I'll have to do a post with the items I covet from the line, it's sure to be a good one.
What about you? Any celeb lines I just have to check out? Do tell in the comments.
