Fun on the Highstreet

So, who tried to score an Outnet bargain this morning? I managed to get into the sale as soon as it started, but didn't buy anything, as all the sizes were selling out sooooo quickly. Whoever managed to get the Marc Jacobs bag, Chloe bag or the gorgeous Chloe shoes, you are lucky, lucky, lucky! And I hate you a little bit...
Buying a designer item on sale is always stressful. Even when you're not physically fighting in a store for that one magical purchase you're mentally exhausted by crashing websites, like the mania on The Outnet today.
On the highstreet there are two new collections hitting shops which are sure to be popular, but hopefully not as stressful as purchasing a £1,500 RM by Roland Mouret dress for £1. The first is Zac Posen for Target, which launched last night.


Both Claire Danes (who was wearing a maxi dress from the Target collection) and Selma Blair came out to support Zac. It feels like ages since we last saw Selma on the red carpet, and I've missed her. I'm so into those heels she's wearing - does anyone know who they're by? The pointed-toe is gorgeous!

And for all of us unlucky Brits who can't get to Target, there's the Miss Selfridge Gossip Girl collection, which also launched last night. I was crushed to find out Chace Crawford would be at the launch party, as I had an invite but was on my way back from Wales, so couldn't go.


The collection is made up of eight dresses, in the style of Gossip Girl characters Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa. The above two dresses are in the style of Blair. I love the peter pan collar on the white and floral frock.
At first I thought it was a little odd that Chace was the GG cast member promoting this collection. After all he's never worn a dress in the show. But he's in London working as the guest editor of Grazia this week. Although, doesn't seem to know much about fashion, as he thinks Los Angeles and Tokyo are two of the four fashion capitals. Watch his Grazia fashion quiz, below, to see just how little he knows about fashion.



Love that he's shocked by the return of the bum-bag at Vuitton though...

What do you think of Zac Posen for Target? And would you wear a dress based on your favourite GG lady?
