Have You Met Kate Young?

The newest designer for Target is Kate Young.  If you're looking for a gorgeous special occasion outfit, she's the designer for you.  I'm so excited about this line because I have two weddings coming up in June, and I'm chaperoning the prom, so I'm in need of a few chic looks.  Special occasion is often hard for me.  I dress a bit more casually, so when I need to get dolled up, it's hard for me to find something that doesn't appear "old."  I was so impressed with the collection that I had to feature all the looks.  So, part I you can see today, and the looks will continue tomorrow!  Which look is your favorite?

Target--Designer Clothes for the Normal Girl?

(How adorable are these sandals and only $39.99 each!)

I decided to go to the doctor today, and found out it's not a stomach bug, but a horrible sinus infection instead.  I've felt horrible all day.  The doctor wants me to stay home the rest of the week.  Just perfect with finals coming up huh?  UGH.  Oh well, hope you're all feeling healthy and having a great week.

Target is one of my favorite stores, that's no secret.  Where else can you get groceries, beauty products, a new CD, and a great sweater all in the same shopping trip?  Target continues to grow, especially in their women's clothing and interior design departments.  The next collection to launch will be by Prabal Gurung, and includes 80 fabulous pieces!  The pieces will include the prints the brand is known for and of course have a designer fit for an affordable price.  The collection will range from $19.99 to $199.99 per piece and will be available between February 10 and March 23.
