Micropost: Antonio Melani x Nicola Bathie Launch + Target Fall Designer Collections.

If you liked yesterday’s post on glitzy statement accessories for fall, you will love Nicola Bathie’s collection launch at Dillard’s. I did not get to the site fast enough to get my hands on a pair of these velvet platforms, which I intended to buy in either the emerald or blue (was going to be a gametime decision, but probably the emerald), but if you add a pair to cart, you can input your email and they will notify you as soon as available, which Nicola has promised (!) will happen this fall. I think they may have only produced a very limited amount of in stock inventory for the launch and will be ordering a much bigger batch based on demand. Anyway, I will for sure be snagging a pair of them as soon as they are back! That said, you *can* still snag some of these adorable pom-topped mules (also come in black), which are super similar to the Aquazzuras in my post yesterday. PERFECT holiday accessory. Also super love these velvet pumps in that dreamy blue or classic black. The shoes are so up my alley, but she has a bunch of statement dresses and earrings for holiday in the collab too.

And while we’re talking new collabs, Target launched its fall designer collections yesterday. Nili Lotan’s collab is EPIC (so on trend and sophisticated!) and sadly has already been majorly picked over, but don’t miss out in this perfect cableknit crewneck sweater (still available in most sizes) and this black cableknit half-zip, which are sure to be staples in your winter wardrobe. These wide-leg trousers are also majorly on point paired with a fall floral blouse!

While you’re at Target, I have to mention that there have been three Target fashion items that y’all have been loving and that basically we will all be wearing all season long…

$35 CLOGS — A SERIOUS CLONE OF RACHEL COMEYS THAT ARE ABOUT 10X THE PRICE

THIS LONG-SLEEVED DRESS

THIS OVERSIZED DENIM SHACKET (SEE STYLING INSPO AT TOP OF THIS POST — WOWZA)

And a few other Target scores not-to-miss…

THIS CECILIE BAHNSEN-INSPIRED BLOUSE, WHICH I LOVE IN THE OLIVE OR BROWN

THIS DOEN-INSPIRED BLOUSE — THE PLAID! THE BURGUNDY FLORAL! — IMAGINE TUCKED INTO HIGH-WAISTED TROUSERS OR LAYERED BENEATH OVERALLS

THIS DRAMATIC-COLLARED BLOUSE

THIS BELTED PLAID JACKET — I LOVE IT IN BOTH COLORS; THE BROWN IS SO SOPHISTICATED!

And, for the children: olive green joggers for your wee man; Doen-inspired dress, $30 sherpa hoodie, and just-like-mama cardi for your little lady; and $5 Halloween crafts and stickers for both.

Oh! And woven pumpkins for all!

P.S. More recent Amazon and Target finds.

P.P.S. Amazing fashion finds under $129.

P.P.P.S. I love the comments on this post about worrying, especially: “Worrying is like paying taxes you may not even owe.”
