High fashion made affordable - Rodarte comes to Target

By Kelly Tinsley

The holidays are here, and if you're going to shop, now is the time. For the fashion fiend on your list, or feel you deserve a little gift of your own (I know I do!), head over to Target because their newest "Go International" designers are none other than one of my favorite design duos - Kate and Laura Mulleavy, who together are Rodarte.

The Target "Go International" lines - which for those who don't know, are something Target has been doing for awhile. A high fashion designer makes a lower priced ready to wear line specifically created for target. Past designers have included Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui and Erin Fetherston (to name a few).

So far the Rodarte collection for Target is looking really fantastic. Here are a few of my favorites! I am really swooning over the rib cage dress.
