If there’s one thing fashion can’t get enough of, it’s Target collabs. Next up? Missoni. The mega-store’s teamed up with the iconic Italian fashion house to create over 400 pieces (yes, you read that correctly) comprised of everything from clothes for women, men and kids, to home goods like bedding and dining sets. On September 13th the collection will fill stores across the country with that always recognizable multicolor zig-zag. While Target’s brought in some younger and more up-and-coming talent in the past like Rodarte, Thakoon and Richard Chai, they’ve never taken on such a storied and luxurious brand before. The Missonis, however, have lent their signature prints to Havaianas, Converse, and even Pellegrino, but the U.S. fast-fashion market’s a whole new ball game. Will you shop it?
Amber.Stardoll- Well, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon haven't revealed the names of their twins yet but we do have a small hint! The star was tweeting to her fans yesterday and and said that both names begin with the letter M. Hmmm...... what could they be?We've been throwing out guesses for the past few hours and we're thinking Melody and Mark or maybe Michelle and Micheal! But Hollywood loves crazazy names, so the twins could very well be named Magnolia and Mood. Do you guys have any guesses? Let us know, we're soooo curious! (People)

- Ever since we saw Kate Middleton in that totally affordable Zara dress (only $90!) we got really inspired to see where our other favorite fashionistas shop. Turns out a lot of them shop at stores we can all afford, which means their style is totally up for grabs! We're heading out to Forever 21 for a little retail therapy! XOXO

- Awww! Isn't it so sweet when you see a celeb with a really cute dog? We love how celebs love their pups and thought we should give a shout out to our famous furry friends! Cutest pictures ever!
ElleGirl- This spring Aztec prints are popping up all over the streets and shops of Oxford Circus. The clash of bold and neutral colors in distinct urban patterns caught our eyes, so check out some pieces we’ve found for a bohemian-slash-tribal spin on maxi dresses, skirts, and gold studded accessories.

- Celebs have a free pass when it comes to crazy fashion and we agree, with Fuze it's better when you mix things up! But sometimes we wonder, could we actually wear that in public? Like, we totally love Lady Gaga's hair bow but it's a bit extreme!We get a lot of inspiration from how our fave fashionistas express themselves but when it comes to our own fashion, we're a bit tame. We put together our favorite insane fashion looks and then how we'd actually wear them on the street. How about you, how do you mix up your wardrobe? All out crazy or a bit held back?

There’s no shortage of ideas in New York City (for proof, watch just about any episode of Seinfeld), but the Festival of Ideas for the New City might be the first time they’re organized and celebrated. The event—which kicks off today and runs through May 8—brings together a grab-bag of thinkers, makers, and movers-and-shakers. Through projects, public events, exhibits, and a multi-day conference, all taking place in Downtown New York City, the collaborative initiative seeks to connect brilliant new ideas with people who can make them happen. Among the big names contributing in some way to the festival are Rem Koolhaas, Marilyn Minter, Vito Acconci, and Dustin Yellin.
But it’s not all art world A-listers; from Etsy to Farm City to The Lower Eastside Girls Club, anyone with a mission to improve the city is given a platform. In fact, it could just as likely be your neighbor who becomes the star of the week: Many of the 100-plus events rely on audience interaction, with a few even sending attendees home to continue a project (Seeding the City, for example, is equipping people with “green roof modules,” which you can pick up on the Bowery on May 7). They might not make you laugh like beach-scented perfume or a coffee table book about coffee tables, but what comes out of the Festival of Ideas for the New City will certainly be more life-changing. Visit festivalofideasnyc.com for more info.

- Spring’s black-tie season kicked off with last night’s Met Gala honoring the late, absurdly talented Alexander McQueen. While none too many a fashion risk was taken, the event was still a sartorial feast for the eyes with winning couture choices, strong silhouettes, and stunning vintage pieces worn by the fashion set and Hollywood’s red carpet regulars. Check out our favorite looks after the jump!

- Have you guys read The Hunger Games yet? They're like the best books ever. We stayed up all night reading the first one and then ran out the next day to buy the second one. We seriously couldn't put the books down! If you can't get enough of The Hunger Games trilogy we heard that they're making a movie!The movie isn't due out till 2012 but we want to start getting to know the cast of The Hunger Games because we have feeling they're going to be hotter than the cast of Twilight!

- OMG! Have you guys seen the UH-MAZING dresses that our favorite fashionistas wore to this years Met Gala? They're seriously so drop dead gorgeous. The theme was Savage Beauty and the Gala was dedicated to the late designer Alexander McQueen. We thought it was such sweet tribute and loved that everyone looked so beautiful! What did you think of the dresses? Which one was your favorite?
