Thanks for the welcome, Snookie! I'll wander over to the welcome thread and introduce myself.

I looked this weekend and didn't spot any. Could you give me a hint? Color, section etc.??

By the way, Isaac Mizrahi has a rather nice 50s styled dress in navy at Target too. Portrait collar, self covered buttons and belt, fuller skirt. Around $45.

They come in a mid blue and white i think , they were in the womens section, (not in the juniors section) i also saw them online too !

I loved that dress. Sadly I think it would look awful on me. The pants are the same color blue and the leg is more straight than wide. They are really nice but again not one me.

jcrew has some wool sailor pants in the women's clearance. it looked like they at least had either black or navy in each size from 4-16. i won't link since you look things up by size in the sale anyway. they're still really pricey but jcrew stuff, IMO, tends to fit well and last long. there are some nice cashmere cardigans on clearance too.

now if only i had ANY money to spend on clothes...

Thanks Blondie!
My Target was just slow. I just saw them out finally this weekend. I didn't have time to try them then. I think I'll make the time to this week!

I've been working at the Gap studio in High Street Kensington these past few days, helping put together the new seasons instore layout and look for Europe. I took lots of photos, and thought I'd share some of the really nice vintage-y pieces that Gap's going to have in soon.

Sweaters:

I really love this pointelle sweater, I definitely want it in red once it's in store.

High waisted pleat trousers and ruffle shirt

Pierre Hardy for Gap wedges

They're also carrying their jodhpurs through to the next season - which would look super cute with that first sweater.

 

[deadpandiva]

Those pants are fab. The American Gap sucks.

for the UK girls - I was very pleasantly surprised by New Look's shoes at the big store at Moorgate

Very pretty!

After taking a hiatus from the high street for a few months I've started browsing again and have noticed lots of 40s inspired lines in them recently. Primark have very cute puffed sleeved crochet cardigans (in baby blue and green) but they are cropped and my bust is too large to look good in them. They also have lots of nautical themed items and cute floral cardigans. Their knicker section never lets me down with their novelty prints! I picked up some Mrs Lovett style sailor ones which have an anchor charm attached and are striped with ruffles and also an amazingly kitsch flamingo print pair. I also got a cute pair of red and cream plimsole pumps which I'll post in the vintage shoes thread.

Dorothy Perkins have lots of puffed sleeves shirts, cardigans and jumpers along with tea dresses and t-bar heels (again, I'll post these in the shoes thread). I got this cute puffed sleeved sweater today (I wish they did it in colours other than black and was a bit shorter) and a white puffed sleeved shirt with apple green stripes (no pic on the site). Both perfect for work.

This shirt is cute -

One of their tea dresses -

I don't need another mac (or coat of any kind actually, I have too many!) but I like the cut of this one -

Target has some more Isaac Mizrahi, and vintage inspired dresses.

They have one that I would describe as Audrey-like in lavender with a V-neck.
They have a mock wrap in a rather bold pink rose print.
There is a grey and white floral with a scoop neck, and matching belt.
And my favorite was a lavender gingham shirt-dress!!

 

[Goldfish]

aw I envy you UK and US ladies! amazing clothes!

[imoldfashioned]

Agh! Those Dorothy Perkins things come in my size and I'm in love with that dress! I've never heard of this line, can anyone tell me what the quality is like?

 

[Smuterella]

I don't think Dorothy Perkins is that great to be honest - they use a lot of synthetics in their clothing and the finish isn't great. Fine for everyday wear such as tops but not for anything too tailored. Their trousers tend to be a little shiny.

But then I haven't been in one for eons.

Thanks for your help. I wondered if it might be a "wait for a sale" kinda spot. I may end up copying that dress though...

As Smuterlla says, it isn't particularly wonderful quality but then what is these days on the high street? lol I wouldn't touch their polyester work trousers with a barge pole but since I'm not a fan of repro then some pieces from the high street (when these fashions are "in style") make do for work.

Pinup Bikini Alert!

Isaac Mizrahi for Target. The top is the perfect candy stripe pinup look! It looks like your average top here, but not on, trust me. The bottom, to me, is just so-so, and I'm between sizes so the M is slightly too small and the L too big. But I bought it anyway, because the top looks so smashing on!

We must have been on the same train of thought this weekend. I went to Target Saturday, and asides from nearly fainting for all the -perfect- clothes, I got an Isaac Mizrahi swimsuit similar to the one you posted, only I got green, and with boy short instead of bikini bottoms.
I also saw this suit:

and I thought it, or at least the print was very pin-up. I think it would look better with this top though:

And as a final conclusion, Isaac Mizrahi needs to stop. Just STOP IT. I am honestly going to go broke because of him, because I literally want to buy everything in his collection.

I went shopping at Target over my lunch break today and brought hubby with me (he will tell me his honest opinion on how I look in an outfit, even if I don't want to hear it!) and I found these great shirt dresses! They are SO cute. And only $28! I splurged and bought them both.
