Nicki Minaj Kmart collection
A few weeks ago, I Instagrammed the photo above of Nicki Minaj's Kmart collection. Needless to say, the response wasn't too favorable. While some loved the dress, others couldn't get behind the other looks. Well, yesterday I had an opportunity to preview the majority of the line, which hits stores later this month, and I'm so glad I did.
First things first, this Nicki Minaj for Kmart collection is definitely geared toward the singer's Barbz and reflects her personal style of fitted, in-your-face prints and hues. But the preview gave me a broader picture of the line. And surprisingly, quite a few of the garments are wearable for women of all styles.

Buying clothes for someone can be a bit tricky. Unless you know exactly what they want, you hope they'll like what you picked out and you really hope it actually fits. With the upcoming holidays, everyone's in serious gift giving mode. Kmart has everything from home decor to fitness equipment, but did every think of picking up some stylish threads there? Well if you haven't, you should.

If there's a woman in your life, Kmart has you and her covered.

I was a bit stunned last week when I heard about Kmart's latest collaboration. Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara is launching a lifestyle collection with the budget retailer. The line, which debuts this fall, will include sportswear, dresses, jewelry, handbags and footwear.

Vergara says of the clothing: "“I wanted to work with a national retailer that would truly value a collection that provides both fashion and quality at a price women could afford."The looks that have been revealed so far include sexy dresses, tops and jackets.
