Peter Pilotto for Target Buys

So much for me saying Net-A-Porter had pretty much sold out of the Peter Pilotto for Target collection! Out of nowhere certain items have been restocked - and for a limited time delivery is FREE. I've managed to get my hands on the digital print sweater (£30) and mini dress (£40). Needless to say I was one happy bunny when the beautifully gift-wrapped Net-A-Porter box arrived at my front door.

Team Kylie

Don't get me wrong, I loved The Voice with Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue as coaches, but I think the show's even better with Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson taking up seats alongside Will.i.am and Tom Jones. I'd hazard a guess that many a man would be very pleased to see Ms. Minogue spinning around for them in her red chair - she's sure one sexy popstrel in that black, Bridget Bardot style dress of hers.



























If you were wondering it's a slinky little Gucci number and you can find it at Net-A-Porter for £785. Go Team Kylie!

Peter Pilotto for Target

If you were thinking of trying to get your hands on a Peter Pilotto for Target dress, think again! They've pretty much sold out over on Net-A-Porter - and it's no surprise when most items were being sold for under £50. Remember, Peter Pilotto dresses in a signature digital print like this are usually closer to the £1000 mark!



























Over the Atlantic there may not have been the mania that had been seen with Target's previous designer collaborations (such as Mulberry for Target), but Net-A-Porter, who were selling the items online, broke sales records with one item being sold per second when the line including dresses, skirts, shoes and swimwear launched yesterday. What I want to know is when Target will follow their compatriots J. Crew and Banana Republic over to the UK? Come on guys, we're waiting!

Hunger Games Capitol Collection

I can hardly keep my eyes open to write because I've been burning the midnight oil reading The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - not just so that I can catch up with all the hype and see the film adaptation along with everyone else when it is released this week, but because I can't put the book down!

It's probably wrong to categorise The Hunger Games as another teen series, but I like to think this one could actually get young readers hooked on dystopian fiction before they move on to discover the delights the likes of George Orwell and Margaret Atwood have to offer. But enough lit crit for now.

With the detailed descriptions of clothes and the importance placed on fashion and image in the Capitol it comes as no surprise a lucrative Catching Fire clothing line is going to be launched to coincide with the film's release. A 16 piece ready-to-wear collection by The Hunger Games' costume designer, Trish Sommerville, goes on sale at Net-A-Porter on 25th November. Of course, harmless flames have not been invented yet, but hardcore fans will no doubt love the arrow motif t-shirts (£60) and matching jewellery, but prices do go up to £800 for a dress, targeting Net-A-Porter's share of the luxury market.

Psst... Look out for Lucas Hugh sportswear in the film. Apparently the London based brand was chosen after they came up in a Google search for 'futuristic sportswear'.
