A lot of people find this hard to believe, but there is no Target in Manhattan (a travesty if you ask me:-(). Luckily the folks at Target know that there are a ton of fashion obsessed folks in NYC that would do pretty much anything to get their hands on limited edition frugal designer collaborations, so they usually have some form of a pop-up shop when they launch one of their special lines. This time around – over a week before the line officially launched – Target helped take the hassle out of holiday shopping with a Target To-Go walk-up holiday shopping stand. Stationed under the High Line they had display windows with 50 items including three Rodarte for Target dresses (see image below) from which shoppers got to choose what they wanted and then ordered (like you would at a fast food drive-through), payed, and got the items all wrapped and ready-to-go…pretty genius idea if you ask me! I snapped-up the Rodarte Rip Cage dress ($49.95), and was surprised at how great the quality was. Of course my mother cringed when she saw it and asked that I please return it in favor of something else (no chance, I love it!), but even she was impressed by the workmanship given the price. Target definitely beats out H&M when it comes to quality and price of these designer collaborations and I anticipate people buying-up a ton of Rodarte today. I myself am logging-on to buy some lace cardigans!
Will you be shopping the Rodarte for Target collection today?
I love the looks for Target! I am definitely checking them out. Unfortunately, my local target doesn’t carry the designer lines…so it’s online only for me!
I got mine yesterday, the black lace dress on far right and the beige/black lace print dress. The rest was horrendous and cheap!
Hmm these don’t look too bad. I was not impressed when I saw photos of the model wearing some of the pieces.

These are great pieces to add to the wardrobe of a young fashionista. Everything goes with denim jackets, leggings and edgy workboots! Love all that I’ve seen from this line.
