Target and Proenza Schouler...it just couldn't get any cooler

I am a hopeless shopper. I read as many magazines as I can get my hands on, fantasize about the ingenious clothing combinations that I would create, and scribble down long lists of all of the gorgeous, sparkling things that, in my other life as a French socialite, would have snatched up at first glance.

And then I wake up and realize that I am a student, which means little or no money. In conclusion, I live a vicarious shopping existence.

And so all of us non-socialites live for designer collaborations. I have recently become obsessed with GO International from Target. If you have not been to Target recently (which if you're like me, is hardly unlikely) then you should definitely check this section out. Recent designer collaborations have been Luella, Paul & Joe, and Behnaz Sarafpour. Needless to say I already have an impressive collection of these discount designer duds.

And now GO International is about to introduce its most highly-anticipated designer collaboration yet, Proenza Schouler. These boys are geniuses. Both graduated just a few years ago from Parsons School For Design in New York City, my dream school. They are a favorite amongst the celebs and fashion editors alike. There collections exude cool, effortless glamour and always have excellent tailoring. I have no doubt that they will create the best designer collection for Target yet.

Thanks to Target, I don't have to have socialite money in order to look like one!

*Note: Proenza Schouler for Target arrives in stores on February 1st, 2007.
