{Shopping alert} Mulberry, Tucker, John Derian for Target on Gilt Friday 8/20

Another lovely Target designer collaboration is available in an exclusive sneak peek for Gilt members this Friday at 12 pm EST.   This is a great opportunity because the popular Target designer collaboration items sell out fast (so concentrate on what you really like and the rest will likely still be available at Target!)  Tucker has lovely feminine dresses with great prints, John Derian makes statement worthy decor, and Mulberry of course creates classic bags (these may sell fast).

Mulberry launches in October while Tucker and John Derian launch in September!

I said to myself I'd only get one more bag, but if a shoulder bag with a strap comes along, I'd have to get it right?

If you need an invite to Gilt, here is my personal link.

Would you get anything from these collaborations?
