William Rast for Target, as far as I can tell...
Fact: The range only goes up to an XL, which according to Target is a 16...
Opinion: Most of the outfits in the look book seem to have been put together with the mentality of "If you wanna look boho (which apparently is what they're going for, because the tag line is Biker Boho), you have to layer 17 things one on top of the other and look as disheveled and wacky as possible!"
Observe:
This is "Look 7" of the collection. Even by the models stance, it just screams "lazy" to me.
Of all the looks on the site, this is the only one I would consider wearing:
Same top and shoes, whole different attitude. Much more put-together and stylish, IMO.
So yeah. At least in my opinion, this collection is a fail. That's considering however, that I haven't seen or felt the clothes in person, so at best they're a fail, and at worst they're a monumental fail.
Check out the collection here and draw your own conclusions. I'd love to hear from anyone that has actually seen the line in person, or even purchased something from it! I'm sure with some creativity, these pieces could shine. They're just totally not my cup of tea.

Justin Timberlake brings us William Rast for Target!
Starting tomorrow through January 22, Target will release a new limited-edition range from William Rast, which happens to be Justin Timberlake's line of clothes.
Forgive me, but I had no idea Justin Timberlake designed clothes at all. MOVING RIGHT ALONG...
;)
There aren't any preview photos or anything online (none that I can find, anyway) and I can imagine that the line is available only in straight sizes, but perhaps some of you in-betweenies can give us some insight after tomorrow when the line is unleashed both in store and online...
I am tempted to go to my local Target, which is literally just 4 blocks away, to check it out tomorrow, but I don't know if it'll be worth the pre-holiday mob, especially since as far as I can tell from the reviews online, the line consists of "oil" stained jeans and faux leather shorts, neither of which sounds like my cup of tea...
If I change my mind about checking it out in person, you'll all the "firsts" to know, but I will definitely be at least checking it out online tomorrow. I'd love to hear your opinions on it as well!

Um, I think I just found a reason to renew my vows!
You know I have a special place in my heart for designer Alfred Angelo...not only because he's a designer that caters to straight size and plus size brides alike, but because I wore one of his gowns on my own wedding day. Well, I happen to be a pretty big Disney fanatic, so reading this article was pretty exciting!
"Wedding outfitter Alfred Angelo has teamed up Disney on a collection of gowns inspired by those worn by princesses Ariel, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White and Tiana."
"For interested parties, the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection will be available in sizes 0 to 30W for $599 to $1,199 at Alfred Angelo Signature stores and select Alfred Angelo wholesale Partner Bridal Boutiques next year."
