The Shops at Target: Round 2

If it wasn’t the killer pair of suede and lizard Kirna Zabête Chelsea boots in the September InStyle, the barrage of TV commercials would have reminded me: the second installation of The Shops at Target drops Sunday.

So far, I want the Kirna Zabête tweed jumper with mod zippers. Heed the Soho boutique owners' motto "more is more" by layering it up with patterned tights, a knit scarf, bright blouse or cropped cardi, and the dress will log many miles this season.

While shopping is a somewhat self-centered occupation, in the real world, it pays to give some thought to others. So, when you boot up your computer Sept. 9 to nail down your Shops selects, consider picking out 1 or 2 Odin New York articles for the man in your life.

The Odin brand is defined by the intersection of “refined and rugged” and pays special attention to fit and quality. My favorite pieces are the sweaters, and I’ve always been partial to a guy in an unintentional, fitted henley. The sweater below combines both of these appreciations.

The oatmeal pullover with buttoned placate offers a casual and comfortable look that simultaneously satisfies a masculine need for ease and your feminine inclination that appearance is everything.

Sometime this week, flip through the look books over your lunch break so you’re ready to browse & buy purposefully come the collections’ release [available in all stores and online].
