Back-to-school essentials, work-to-weekend dresses and crazy-colorful basics. Those are the types of clothes we’ve come to expect to see on the racks at Target (and they’re largely to blame for our shopping trips never just resulting in a basket full of Green Works cleaners). Even designer collaborations fit into the Red Bullseye’s peppy vibe — just with a bit more POW! But the latest style line from luxury brand Altuzarra breaks the mold completely, making the mass retailer’s red and white aisles feel like the most high-end boutique to ever hit your local shopping center.
The 50-piece collection features rich fall hues, luxe patterns (snake skin!) and plush fabrics in silhouettes that could only be described as sexy. The boudoir-style dresses, velvet two-piece suits and pencil skirts with thigh-high slits (+ the over-the-knee boots you’ll NEED to wear with ’em), all look in line with what you’d expect to see in the pages of glossy September issues. But this being Target, it comes without the Vogue-level price tags. Every piece in Altuzarra for Target is less than $100 — even those structured trench coats — and we expect basics like the contrast cuff button ups, sheer blouses and slinky scarves to be on the lower-middle end of the $18-$90 spectrum.
Feeling completely seduced? Yeah, us too! Then follow suit and mark your cals for September 14 when the lavish collection will be available in stores and online. We’re setting our alarms extra early so we’ll be fully shopped and back in bed in A-branded intimates (lace mask included!) before the sun comes up.
Will you be lining up for this new high-fashion collab? Which Target designer line has been your all-time favorite (or is this one it?). Tell us in the comments below.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
