This weekend, we rediscovered the genius that is Target and its Go International collaborations. After picking up some much needed Vitamin Water, milk, and cereal, we found ourselves smack dab in the middle of the women's department scouring the racks for new and pretty Richard Chai for Target pieces.

Fresh produce and affordable clothing, could you ask for a cooler way to shop? Well, we don't think so. Even more so now after checking out the quality of the Richard Chai garments in person. All of the dresses are adorable and felt as good on our bodies as they did in our minds when we were imagining walking to brunch with our friends in our fresh new duds.

The majority of the pieces from the Target look book were at the store near our house, but just in case you don't find everything you've been swooning over or there just isn't a Target near your house, check out Target's online store. Let those credit cards fly, ladies!

It's that time of year again. The ten finalists for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award have been announced and the list reads as follows:

Richard Chai; Jason Wu; Alexander Wang; Irene Neuwirth; Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus; Alejandro Ingelmo; Juan Carlos Obando; Swaim and Christina Hutson of Obedient Sons & Daughters; John Patrick of Organic, and Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava.

We love high-fashion. And when it's on sale? Oh, my! We'll use a whole tank of gas to get that pair of black trousers or school blazer we've been eyeing all season via our favorite fashion magazines.

So imagine the smiles across our faces this weekend when we caught a glimpse of Target's ads promoting its upcoming Go International campaign with designer Richard Chai in the August issue of Lucky magazine.

So, here's one of the worst kept secrets:

Yesterday, Target confirmed that Jonathan Saunders will in fact design the next limited-edition capsule collection for its hotly-anticipated Go International line.

The line will drop, slide, roll, whatever into Target stores in October. Pick up your jaws, ladies -- we did the math, too: Rogan's diffusion will be making its grand exit in June and the Saunders stuff won't see the light of day until October. WTF, Target? Do you expect us to stalk Forever21 for designer knock-offs or something? What were you thinking? Goddddd.

Well, be easy darlings. Richard's Chai's cool girl uniforms for Target debut this August. Phew, that was a close one.

Last Week, Target announced that the bright young thing known as Richard Chai -- who helped launch Marc by Marc, revived TSE and won a Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award -- would be the next designer for Target's ever-popular GO! International line.

And now they're spilling the beans about who's throwing down on the accessories side of things this summer:

Monica Botkier will be the next renowned designer launching a limited-edition capsule collection with the mass retailer. The Botkier for Target collection will be available at select Target stores nationwide and at Target.com July 21 through Sept. 14, 2008, which means it will follow the upcoming Gryson for Target collection.

The New York babe is known for her motor-cycle inspired handbags, so anybody who hearts quality leather and metal zippers is in for a real treat.

In three words: I am excited! My first major handbag purchase was a black leather Botkier tote that I still love and carry to this very day. Monica's pieces are so well-made and I'm sure that her line with Target is going to be nothing short of amazing -- and inexpensive.
