Alice Temperley for Target

[lucy92]

the grey ruffley top looks FABULOUS on you, chrissym!

i really want that top now.

do you think the sweater dress would look better with that striped wide belt?

i see that there are already a ton of reviews on the items on targets website. that is helpful.

thanks for the review on the tie front top. initially i wanted that...but if its gappy....forget it!

I got the black vest and the navy and black long sleeve top. I think the vest will look best very layered and un buttoned, and the navy and black top is simple but interesting. The rest seemed too contived and not versetile.

ChrissyM - The grey ruffly top and the cardigan look great on you! Thanks for the review and the pictures.

PrincessImp. - I saw that you bought the leaf print sweater. Could you please tell me what the sizing is like? I'm thinking about buying it online in case it's not at my local Targets. Thanks in advance!

Have you noticed....that a lot of designers now don't know how to cut for people with boobs? Maybe it's because they design their stuff for clothes hangers...

Yes , I have noticed missakura. And I don't even have big ones, but I can hardly ever get things to button up w/o gaping and sometimes I can't button up at all.

Here is the vest, but again, I think it looks better loose.

And the shirt I got.

thanks!
i ended up ordering it in size small from target's website because i didn't want to take any chances with not finding it again..

the striped belt (like in the press photos) might look better with the sweater imo..
i think it would detract from the robe-like quality it currently has..
i like the collar a lot on it

I went ahead and ordered some things...felt that it was easier with free shipping. Hopefully they'll fit ok. I'll report back when I get them.

Chrissy, your reviews hit everything right on the head! I had the same problems as you with the tie-front shirt, it was gaps open in front and I wouldn't wear it without a cami if I were to get one.

novella, the leaf-print sweater is form-fitting, I sized up one (to M)so that I can actually eat while wearing it and also to layer stuff under the sweater when the weather gets colder. I recommend sizing up by one size for this.

saw this stuff yesterday and while a lot of it was a bit dull, i thought the black/yellow/blue graphic print tops and dresses were nice (rayon) as well as the velveteen puff sleeve jacket in black. i also liked the block dress too, but unfortunatly i just blew my budget on a chloe bag, so i'll have to wait if im going to get anything...

 

[ChrissyM]

i saw a bunch of the dresses at the second target i went to but made myself leave them on the rack and not even try them on..
i had to resist temptation for the sake of my wallet

glad the reviews were helpful

i would suggest checking out the reviews on target's site too..
those are usually pretty helpful from what i could see..

 

[iLoveCouture]

Wow Chrissy - that ruffle top looked like a mess on me...but you look fantastic in it!!!

 

[ChrissyM]

you guys are gonna make me blush
thanks for the positive reinforcement

 

[liashoes]

Well, I just have to join in and say how spectacular you look, ChrissyM. Great choices!

Sarah - I got that blue shirt too! - it's a nice simple piece. And I agree, the vest looks much better worn unbuttoned.
The sizing really is all over the place with this line. The leaf print sweater and the grey cardigan - I was able to fit my normal Small -whereas this blue shirt, the vest, blue jacket and grey ruffle shirt - I had to size up to Mediums..

 

[handbaglover]

^Sorry, the pic of the blue shirt got deleted by accident.

 

[jun3machina]

boo-....i want the velvet jacket....and a dress....i may just go back today to see what the fit is like....not that i NEED any of these things...and my checkbook doesn't want them...but oh well...

review and pics here. i like the image of the petal dress.

 

[leyla m.]

did anyone attend alice launching this collection at selfridges today?

 

[chaneladdict]

I really really love the way the petal dress looks, but it's too short, and really overpriced! Maybe if it goes cheap enough, but other than that I don't really want to purchase anything else..
