On a rainy Thursday night in NYC, I was lucky enough to score an invitation to the Jason Wu for Target shopping event. As anticipated following the wildy successful Missoni collection and the obsession it seemed every blogger and editor had with the Jason Wu lookbook, it was a madhouse.
A beautiful madhouse though with a Parisian theme complete with Laduree macaroons, St. Germain cocktails, and French culinary favorites like Croque Madame being served by gorgeous models outfitted, of course, in Wu for Target.
Even though we were all wrangling to buy our goods before enjoying the party, it was much more sophisticated than a typical sample sale with pleases, thank yous, no tears, and no hoarding. Everyone was feeling the polished and elegant vibe of the evening and tried to match it with our best ladylike shopping behaviors.
The whole collection is chic and fun (check out the
Jason Wu for Target lookbook here) and you can scroll down to see the two items I ended up walking away with on Thursday. Will you head to your local Target for Jason Wu?
Yes, yes I was that girl trying to casually snap a pic of the man himself....not sure how subtle I was following 2 of those St. Germain cocktails, and it's not even a good pic, but I just had to post.
Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, Chloe Maretz, and Jamie King were some of the celebs and fellow Wu lovers who attended (all wearing Jason Wu for Target, except for Lively who's wearing Jason Wu S/S 2012)
