Last night I attended a preview of Zac Posen for Target. I rarely get excited for events, but this is Zac Posen and a precursor to the 24-hour shopping party. The night was full of glamour, fun and tons of fashion. The walls were  lined with racks of clothing and I felt like I was in a glamazons dressing room. And the festive atmosphere had an elegant, prom-like feel with chandeliers and pink balloons coating the ceiling. A cute added touch was the polaroids that were taken of the guests. The designer's line doesn't hit stores until the 25th, but party-goers had a chance to view and purchase the affordable frocks (prices range from $16.99 to $199.99). There was something for every occasion or style, including  flow-y tops, pleated skirts and bright prints.

My favorite piece had to be this brocade dress. At $74.99, it's perfect for a dressy evening.

I'm normally not a fan of one pieces, but the amazing structure of this red hot bathing suit is the epitome of glamour and it's only $34.99.

Check out the rest of the flicks below.

I love a cute romper, but I've been leery of purchasing one because I think they can come off a bit juvenile. But I swooned over Kourtney Kardashian's recent look in Miami. The Free People romper ($148) and crisp white blazer is paired with chic accessories:  YSL Tribute sandals, Tod's sunglasses and Chanel quilted bag. Certainly a cute, yet chic look. If Kourt's flair for fashion is too rich for your purse strings, below is the look for less if you want to rock the romper chic look. Sunglasses: Asos, $27.35 Blazer:...

Right now I seriously swooning over Dalla Nonna's calendar necklace. The piece has a unique vintage-y feel. Made of silver or gold, the necklace is a great customizable piece as a stone (blue, green, pink, red, white or yellow sapphire) is placed on a particular day of the month (you choose the month and day). Prices range from $150 to $400. If the price tag is too steep, there's a similar version on Etsy for $35. The silver charm is just as customizable, but instead of a sapphire, the...
