Erin Fetherston For Target

[Eclat]

I just love Fetherston's haircut...it's so darn cute! I want it badly...but with a softer bang (not as blunt cut).

I keep hearing that the clothes are not as nice in person as in print...and I'm not a fan of polyester. Still, that little single-breasted cream coat is super cute...on the right person.

I'm glad it looks like the sleeves on the cream coat are long. I have long arms so that's a good thing. Those pictures make me excited for my coat to come. Too bad my Target deliveries seem to take an eternity.

there was almost NOTHING left at my target yesterday

i ended up buying a black blouse - simple but the cut is REALLY cute

 

[Missyiovely]

I went to my local Target yesterday. They have pretty much most of the stuffs there. I've tried on both of the coats and the white coat is a big disappointment! Probably I'm not tall enough. I'm 5'4 and usually a SzS or 2-4. I already ordered the white coat in a Size S online last week and I am so waiting for it to arrive and return it back to the store. I look like a potato sack =( I've tried on the black coat in Sz S as well and it does not fit well. I found a XS and finally it fits much better! These coats runs big! If anyone is about to order, order a size smaller or at least go to the store and tried it on first. So I ended up coming home order the 2 heart scarves, the heart black/navy dress in XS and the black coat in XS also for 10% off.

I bought the red satin romper (to wear with black cashmere tneck, black tights, and Lanvin boots), the cream chiffon bib dress, the purple tiered ruffle dress (to wear belted over a black tissue tneck, black tights and with Lanvin ballet flats), and I am thinking of buying the cream bubble coat online. I disagree with a lot of the comments at the beginning of this thread - I consider myself a middle-class consumer - though I do splurge on shoes and bags, Vanessa Bruno basics, and the occasional Proenza top - and I have known who Erin Fetherston is from her first collection. I think the number of discerning and fashion-savvy consumers in this nation is highly underestimated.

Theres things online that I havent seen in our stores... like the sateen pants with the bow belt. I love those from the pics... has anyone seen them in person?

i tried them on. i thought that they were really cute. the material was decent, it looked like they wouldn't wrinkle too much. the bow-belt would be a useful accessory. the navy and pink combo was nice, but the black on black is more practical and just as nice. i was thiiiis close to buying them, but i already have high-waisted black pants. later, if it goes on sale, i would probably get because of the belt.

i was bummed that there was hardly anything left at the target in brooklyn - i guess that's the location all the manhattan girls go to to swoop things up!

i managed to get the red corduroy jumper, which i'd heard negative reviews of, but it looked absolutely adorable on! although one button popped off while i was in the dressing room, so i'm going to have to reinforce all of them.

i also got the erin faces tee...makes sense since my name's erin and i have the same haircut (only brown) - its like a me tee!

no cocoon coats . hopefully when i'm off in the middle of nowhere this week i can at least try one on...

Thanks so much gingeraunt. I hope they get it at our Target. Does the belt come off? Just wondering because the site said it was attached. I would want them even more if the bow belt was removable.

okay so i just gt back from target...tried on about half the collection: the black coat, the white coat, the bib shirt, the blue courduroy skirt, the grey sweater. i saw the two coats, a white jacket and skirt, the white ruffled dress, purple ruffled dress, bunny print shirts, heart sweaters in black and grey, blue peterpan collar dress, white and black bib dress, blue dress with velvet heart straps, black shirt, grey thermal leggins, heart thermals, the heart shirt, heart scarf, headbands and bags..

i was going to get the black coat when i went in, but after trying it on and comparing it with the white one, i really love the white one and thought the black was just a bit too cutesy. and wouldn't you know it that the ony size small was sold so im ordering that online. i didn't bother with any of the dresses as they were rather short and unless i wore leggings they wouldn't work. those jumpers were way cute, but i agree they'd most likely either snag or rip out in the seams.

i ended up getting the bib front black shirt and the grey sweater. Im going to order the coat in a SIZE SMALL. the bunny print wasn't too terribly disturbing, but definately not for me, although i think it'd be cute on someone else...

i thought the bags sucked, as did the scarfs, as the heart part was knit and all misshappen on all of them....and i was actually quite surprised my target had any accessories at all. normally we dont get any in, and it seems this time around, we got them all in...

all in all, a good collection. some pieces better than others...i really prefer her outerwear and think they were the strongest part of the collection

jun3, glad you finally got to get some stuff for yourself. i still haven't gotten the chance to try the white coat yet. i'm interested since it's really gotten good reviews.

Sigh. My cream coat came. I got the medium and I am drowning in it. I'm around 5'8" and have a lanky build with long arms and it looked like a big sack on me. I'm going to see if I can find a small that works and exchange it. Otherwise I'll just get a refund.

I can't get the stupid bunny top out of my head. Think I'll have to head back to Target and scout around for more pieces. Might have to get it.

It's so funny around each Go release. Suddenly my local Target becomes populated by creatures you never normally see at Target. Women in filmy dresses and high heels. With intent expressions. Shopping alone, no cart. You can spot the fashion people.

I agree with whoever said that people seem to be tuned into these collections, even if they're not what I'd think of as well-known designers.

Heh heh. Every time a new collection comes out, I'm surrounded by these women snatching up pieces like vultures on roadkill. Today there were two or three other women poking around the EF stuff, all of them even older than I am . I picked up the gray cardigan with the heart-shaped buttons. Very nice and cozy.

yep!
you go to the one on flatbush and lafayette?
thats where i went and there was hardly anything left....booo! i did get a cute blouse though.....but thats it.

Just tried on and bought the cream bubble coat, and wanted to send out a warning: it runs extremely large! I took a size S and am usually a M/L. The S fits perfectly though, and I am so excited to own it since the cut is almost an exact replica of a coat from one of her earliest collections that I drooled and drooled over.

 

[classicalbang]

my target didn't have much of a selection so i placed an order online. i got the dress with the peter pan collar in both black and black/white, the navy dress with the black peter pan collar, the gold lurex dress, the navy corduroy mini skirt (it'll look really cool with my vintage sonic youth t-shirt), the gray cardigan, the navy tunic and the cream blouse with the black peter pan collar.

obviously i have a thing for peter pan collars. i don't think i will like all the pieces, but i figured i can return whatever i end up disliking.

missyiovely-- i had the same problem with the cream coat! too bad cause it's very pretty.

 

[ragtag]

^ agreed!

also, to each his own... IMO, not being excited by the Go Collections doesn't mean that you can't appreciate fashion or have style. you like what you like.

yeah, boluda, that's the one i go to.

There is a greater density of "fashion people" in big cities like new york and san francisco, making it therefore easier for us to get what we want when we travel to less fashionable places. this is always my experience when traveling to get go collections in eastern long island or the new hampshire suburbs - way more to choose from and sizes galore!

OMG! you have to find it and try it!!! i actually fit into the XS too, but the lining was a wee snug across the shoulders (there's a seam right there) so i ordered a small online. It's such an amazing cut and drape! the material is like a waffle weave wool, and the collar has like cotton stuffing in it (like old vintage coats!) it just reminds me of pure 1920''s LUX! throw on my flapper hat and some kitten heels and im ready to go. The color is much more light cream neutral than how it appears on the site as well, which i really love. almost like cotton muslin or something. very vintage!
