Altuzzara!

emmysmom — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 20:51:12 GMT

I have a couple of tops coming, but I really liked the black faux fur jacket! It was gone online!! I found aTarget store that had some and they held one for me! So glad I went today, they had everything I saw online! I got my jacket and saw several things I'd like! I loved the dresses, esp. the blue top with the python skirt. I tried on the tops and the fabric feels wonderful! There were several women looking as well, and they were buying too..after I told them what they were selling for on Ebay! The SA told me they had called from Chicago looking for any Altuzzara! I lucked out with this store, it was so much fun looking at everything. The black python skirt is too die for Chi..very subtle, if I was 20 years younger I would have gotten much more. I love the blouse with the bow, but it was very shear. Anyway, I am impressed with his designs..very classy!

I looked at the Altuzarra clothes at Target and wasn't impressed. The black faux fur jacket looked like a big fluffy bear coat. I got the giggles when I saw a family putting the coat on their kid as a joke.

I took a good look at a dress with a crossover bodice, the design was nice but the material was cheap looking and the lining material was nylon tricot (the material used in cheap lingerie). Frankly since Target has been in Canada for more than a year, I've seen enough of these designer collaborations to think that they are cheaply made out of cheap materials. The designers must be laughing all the way to the bank to put their name on stuff sold at Target.

Now, that explains why you didn't get the GILI skirt, or jacket Well, since the military coat is going back, I get to keep my 3 Irish sweaters out of 4! Haha. They are really good quality.....unlike the coat!

Hi Chi..I saw everything you ordered except for the trench.. Loved them all, the swiss dot blouse is lovely!I love my faux fur, I collect jackets and didn't have one in black, lol. One of the women told me the chunky faux furs are all the rage this season, she was trying one too. I'm still amazed they had so much in stock! I got a red card at your suggestion and saved on my coat and will get free ship now too! What an enabler you are, lol!Can't wait for your reviews, still can't track mine yet! Did you like your MW from HSN??

I love my faux fur jacket! A lot of others apparently do as well!

Once the dust settled, I ended up with the python pencil skirt (I bought it at the store -- you are going to love this skirt, Chi-town!), the dark blue blouse with the floral print (so thrilled to get this since button down blouses usually gape in the front on me when they fit everywhere else -- this one fits beautifully), and the python T. The green python skirt is on its way and I still might order the green python sweatshirt, which they still have at the site.

Glad you got your jacket. I saw it at the store, but it would be too hot for the climate where I live for all but a few cold days. Have fun wearing it!

I ordered the python bow blouse, sight unseen.

Do you think a nude Skinny T would be good under it?

TIA!

Re: Altuzzara!

emmysmom — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 13:03:47 GMT

terrier, I think it would be great! I saw your top yesterday and I love it! Very tempted, but I got 2 python tops long sleeved and short, lol! I think you'll love the fabric too!!

I tried on the python bow blouse and loved it. I would have purchased it but I was trying to contain myself! I think a nude skinny T will look great with it.

You picked exactly what I wanted!!! You must review for us. I haven't gotten to Target but looked on line but didn't buy. I am sure its blown out the door of the Targets around me already.

LOL..we are all enablers! I got the Target red card/debit card-5 percent off and free shipping are great perks. Also, 90 days for returns, but it looks like not for this designer collection. One of the store managers that I spoke with said that Target is trying to reduce returns for designer collaborations and stop the crazy ebay sellers that bought cartloads of previous designer products in store. So, the stores don't have as much inventory as in the past-a strategic decision to keep more inventory online, and I think that is why there is still online inventory. That fur jacket was soooo tempting, but I will get more use of the trench. I do like the MW shirts that I bought on sale, but returned the sheer striped top and duster b/c the color was not how it looked online or tv-much darker. I wish the MW price points were lower-I think high from a competitive/online perspective. Sales are the best time to buy MW. How did you do with your MW purchases??? Did you see the announcement about the Scandal/The Limited collection? I see some coats that I want...

Looks like I'll get my python tops saturday, can't wait. Thanks again for posting about Altuzarra and buying online.Will be anxious for your review, sad about Ebay!

I was at Target yesterday and there was actually a fair amount left.

I was just at Target this afternoon and they still had all the short stiletto boots and the brown python dress, tees and bow blouse, wine colored dress and peasant top and a navy sweater with bird applique. Not impressed. The python bow blouse is just a pullover with attached bow. Cheap fabrics and you could get these looks at Rainbow Shops.
