I'm always disappointed by the Target designer collections (I'm looking at you, Jason Wu!) Over priced for what they end up being IMO. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you on that dress, Xtina. I think the colors and the shape will look amazing on you.
I'm in love with this for my daughter, but I think at $60 it's a bit overpriced.
I like the Rodarte ornament. I collect ornaments so I will probably get it:
I want the Tracy Reese dessert plates. They were on tv the other day & they looked gorgeous on camera.
If I had a special someone, I would get him the Rag & Bone sweater:
I also like the Lela Rose dress & the top, but would have to see in person:
Edited to add: I actually hope to get the Lela Rose dress and wear to an upcoming wedding. As much as I like everything else, the dress is probably what I like the most.
itsapinkthing - I have a very similar dress to that black/nude lace number. I wore it to my 35th birthday. I love it.

I'm not feeling any of it at such high prices. $60 for a compact mirror? $50 for three Christmas ornaments?
I've been disappointed in I think all of them save Jovovich-Hawk and Rogan. By the time I checked out the JH collab in store it was really picked over and the items I was interested in were gone in my size.
Thank you for posting this. I'm so jazzed about the Judith Leiber mirrors, but 6 (!) How can I choose only one? I'm a collector of Judith Leiber vintage brooches and I have a few of her keychains and bags, no miniaudieres, though. Btw, I haven't posted here in a long time but I check in once in a while - Hi everyone!
Wait a minute...these items are sold at both Target and Neimen Marcus??? Aren't those two stores complete opposites in price points? Are they the identical items offered at both stores? I am so confused. I tend to stay far away from NM because I simply can't afford it. Target is my obsession because of extremely low prices. What am I supposed to make of this? Hmmmm...
I just ordered some of the stuff I posted: the Lela Rose dress, the Tracy Reese dessert plates, and the $60 Jason Wu polka dot baby dress I doubt I will keep (but it was worth ordering to at least check it out). I got a notice that things won't ship till Dec 13-17. I wonder if it's a merchandising tactic. If I wasn't so lazy I would drive there right now and check things out in person. Did anyone else order?

I ordered the Judith Leiber mirror with the black and white zebra pattern, (and the blue one, shhhh, don't tell.) I know it's expensive for a little mirror, but I am a collector, after all. I loved the Lela Rose dress, I hope you enjoy it Vanessa. I was a little crazy about this, I was afraid I'd miss out and got up at 6 a.m. to order (well the cat woke me up). I already got a notice from Target that the items had shipped, too.
I'm surprised that most of the gifts haven't sold out yet. Are they just over-priced or are people too broke or are they just not great gifts? Just wondering.
I was less than impressed in person. Everything looked OK quality-wise, but not price point-wise. The only thing that I really liked were the leather Marc Jacob pouches, but honestly, you are just paying $$$ for the name there.
The Target I was at also had the items kind of hidden away in the back of a department, not up front where everyone could find it. I thought that was odd.
Oh no Boots - that makes me kind of nervous. I wanted the Lela Rose dress for a wedding this Saturday, then Target said it wouldn't ship till dec 13-17, but miraculously they later sent an email saying it shipped. Anyway, I hope it's decent enough... is it dressy enough for a wedding? I was planning on wearing it with a skinny silver belt, silver mirror pumps, and a rhinestone bib necklace.

I didn't like the fabric feel (I didn't look at the tag so I don't know what it's actually made of.) It just felt cheap to me. But you know, nothing ever looks wonderful in Target. I'm sure though if you style it right, it'll look a lot more expensive than just on a hanger in a dim store (it was not the best kept up Target store either so that may have clouded my judgement.) I think all of your personal touches will dress it up considerably.
I saw some stuff while I was in Target yesterday. It all looked fine enough, I just didn't like any of them well enough to pay the prices they are asking.

I felt the LR dress. The top layer is a very thin cotton and seemed scratchy to me. I liked the Robert Rodriguez dress though it is not really my style. There is a black cape that is cute but not for that price. The navy/white blazer is awfully cute, but I didn't look at it too closely since I'm allergic to navy.
The glassware was not good quality. The DVF housewares that I saw were boring. I liked the Proenza Schouler ipad case but I don't have an ipad.
I didn't see everything but what I saw wasn't great.
They have it at 70% off at my Target. I tried the Lela Rose dress - what terrible fit! The waist is too high for a natural waist and too low for an empire waist. The tulle starts right after the waist so you get a puffy belly look.
