Affordable Designer...

Who knew khaki could be so exciting? The Gap has partnered up with the hippest designers to remake something basic into something absolutely covetable. Simple is Sexy! This year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nominees (including Vena Cava and Alexander Wang) have reworked Gap’s classic khaki fabric into fabulous creations which will launch in stores on June 16th. Personally, I can't wait because these pictures look like come of the items could be work worthy.

And speaking of a designer collaboration that is not so work worthy. Tracy Feith for Target's Go International line hit stores on Monday and although I haven't had a chance to take a look I would bet that it is flying of the shelves. Perfect for bumming around at the beach on those warm summer says when I'll probably be sitting in my office working. O well, There are always weekends.

There are also some sample sales going on that I think are worth checking out:

• J Rosen is having their fabulous designer bathing suit, flip flop, and jewelry sample sale with new merchandise arriving daily. The swimsuit designers include Vix, Sofia by Vix, Hermanny, and Lisa Curran, who are normally sold at Saks Fifth Ave, Bloomingdale's, Scoop, and Intermix.
