Sashay, Tar-zhey With Zac Posen

Target again.....Yep! But for a worthy cause. Zac Posen, New York's fashion "it" boy, has designed a collection for Target's GO International line. The line is full of romantic floral prints, feminine dresses, and rock star glam.

I think his collection is far better than Jean Paul Gaultier's recent line (sorry, but some things are just meant to be purchased at Neiman's). Zac Posen's line hits stores and Target.com on April 25. Prices range from $16.99-$199.99, and offers Targets first gown and tuxedo (Isaac Mizrahi wedding collection just doesn't count).

My fave's are the lipstick tee, pink tiger dress, and snap front dress (both below). What's yours?

I See You

When I saw the Michael Kors necklace (3) at Elle.com, I almost fainted! I love lucite jewelry. You can wear it practically everywhere, and with almost everything. Jeweler Alexis Bittar teamed up with Michael Kors for their second exclusive collection for spring. I would be a committing a fashion crime if I failed to acknowledge the lucite trim Louboutins (1) and lucite cuff by J. Mendel (2) (pause for a moment of silence....OK, resume). The necklace retails for $695, which exceeds my price range. So I was thrilled to find a similar necklace at T.J. Maxx this weekend for $16.99.

Lucite Hinge Bracelet, New York & Company, $16.95

Michael Kors Lucite Watch, Bloomingdale's, $225

Alexis Bittar Raindrop Earrings, Saks Fifth Avenue, $95

Karl Lagerfeld and Coca-Cola

What do Karl Lagerfeld and Coca-Cola have in common besides the letters c-o-c-o? Well, Karl Lagerfeld has designed a limited edition Coco-Light box set (European for Diet Coke). The bottle is capped in pink and adorned with his unmistakable silhouette. Karl also shot the ad campaign which features model Coco Rocha....cute. Drink up!

The Girls Are Back: Sex and The City 2

I'm a huge "Sex and The City" fan(atic), so you already know where I'll be on May 28. I love the fashion and friendship the girls women have. Check out the updated trailer below. Samantha's swimsuit and red spiked shoulder dress are both nasty.....In a good way.

Swarovski has partnered with "Sex and the City 2" on jewelry and accessories for the film, and will decorate their windows in the style of the "Sex and the City" characters.
