back to brooklyn: target

*
i still had my target gift certificate from fashion's night out freebies and decided it was about time to use it. so, i headed to brooklyn's target this week.

there were still a lot of anna sui for target merchandise (including small sizes). i tried on most of the blair-inspired dresses. initially, i thought i would like the blue or white lace dresses, but this multi-coloured party dress was the pick. the cut of the dress is somehow making me look taller than my actual 5'1" height.

not all of the anna sui line is available on target.com... so, hitting up stores might be necessary depending on what you want.

unless you've been living under a rock of late, you know that this thursday is fashion's night out. touted as an event to inspire consumers, invigorate the economy and local industry. it's an ambitious objective.

fashion's night out nyc. most events 6pm - 11pm.

there are too many events to comprehensively review...so here are my picks.

bergdorf goodman.
big fashion names will be on-site at bergdorf goodman doing various things, ranging from a fashion game show to selling paintings. who? andre leon talley, donna karan, annie leibovitz, cynthia rowley, zac posen, alexander wang et al.
