One of the good things about living in a boring place like Ithaca, where I lived for four years while I was at Cornell, is having easy-access to Target’s designer collaborations. Whereas in major cities/online the few covetable items would fly off the shelves, I could always leisurely shop in the Ithaca Target. Even, a handful of years later, I still wear some accessory finds from their collaboration with Behnaz Sarafpour. Now Target has partnered with Jaye Hersh, owner of the Los Angeles celeb-fave boutique, Intuition, to launch their latest accessories collaboration, Hollywood Intuition. Paris Hilton, Jenna Dewan, and Amanda Bynes have already snatched-up bags from the collection which just hit stores and the web a few days ago. Overall the bag selection is not as good as past collaborations — most styles are too simple for my taste — but I’m liking the belt bags pictured below especially in the green shade. I could totally see myself heading out for a casual night or to run some errands when all I need is my phone and money wearing it. As for the faux-skin one next to the belt bags, it made me think of the frugal girl’s Adriana Castro Meissa Python Hobo in natural! The prices, of course, are hard to beat — none of the bags retail for over $29.99 and Target’s quality always trumps H&M, Kohl’s or any of those other retail outlets that do designer collaborations (The Wall Street Journal actually investigated this). For anyone looking for a non-trendy, affordable bag I think the collection is definitely worth check-out. What do you think about the Hollywood Intuition line?
