Speaking of Navy....

Department: Women's Clothing; Isaac Mizrahi

So after the post about that ADORABLE trench, I remembered something that I saw on my last trek to Target- this cute, vintage inspired shirtdress from Isaac Mizrahi. On the hanger, this dress is very cute; the fabric seems pretty nice and luxurious- and I've been considering the purchase of it. It is $44.99 and should be available at your local Target store.

I think I may head to my local Target soon to try it on! I'll let you all know how it fits and if it looks decent on those of us who have "ample" backsides, as I'm thinking the pleats may not be such a good idea for my large bum and hips. But you never know! I do love the vintage look though. It has a very Jackie O feel to it. With some cute peep toe shoes or kitten heels and a little off white cardigan, it would make a cute outfit!

Have you seen this dress? Tried it on? Tell me about it if you have!

Isaac's Fall 2007 Collection

Department: Isaac makes stuff I can wear
I hear the minimalist look is back. That's good for a mom who just doesn't care to be high maintenance right now.

A quick glimpse at Isaac's 2007 Fall Collection for Target whispers "classic" to me. Lots of black, white, grey with a pop of color.

What I've seen doesn't scream at me. Some pieces are a tad bit too "tried and true." Not what I expect from Isaac. But because of its affordable prices, I'm always game for what Isaac has in store.

Here are some of my favorites (Sorry about the pixelated pictures. It's the best I could do. I'll change them out if I can find better ones.) --


I love autumn because I crave jackets! And this boxy plaid one is a must have for me. Very chic.


Pretty in pink, you'll stand out in a crowd with this pop of color. And doesn't like a touch of houndstooth in their wardrobe?


I love this look - from head to toe. The shoes are fierce. And you can't go wrong with a little black dress...especially one in taffeta.

As always, everything will be on Target.com and at select stores.

Dum Dum Da Dumb

Department: Bridal




Now you all know how I feel most of the time about Isaac's fit/design etc at Target. As I have stated before he may benefit from seeing a woman naked so that he can understand that we all aren't stick thin fit models.

So that being said what do we think of his new BRIDAL COLLECTION? Has anyone tried it? Does it fit? Is it even more devestating to try it on when you are already a nervous, sensitive, self concious bride? It's devestating enough for me to try on a pair of Isaac shoes at Target as those aren't a true fit either.

I think the designs are lovely but I am interested to hear more. I am already hitched and I just think it would make hubby nervous if I went and tried on dresses for research. Plus I am knocked up so it's just not a pretty thought.

Overall the idea of ordering dresses online that 1. you can't try on, 2. from a brand that you know is inexpensive but 3. from a designer that usually isn't true to size is a Dum Dum Da DUMB idea. My prediction is that this will not last more than one or two seasons. The price is right for a fun backyard wedding if you are a stick and you plan to drink it up big time and not fret if you spill (or barf) your open bar all over yourself so with that being said maybe I will rethink this whole thing. Maybe I am just jealous that my designer gown cost over $1500 and it's in a box in my closet and I didn't drink or eat the entire day because I was scared to ruin it.....
