The next best thing to owning a vintage Bob Mackie gown is owning one of his colorful archived sketches and now, you can actually purchase the latter online.
Today Bob Mackie Design Ltd., responsible for costuming such legendary divas as Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross and Tina Turner, has put 46 prints from throughout the last 50 years of the designer's storied career up for sale on their website. They're available in 14 by 17 inches for $69 and 21 by 25 inches for $179.
Those really aren't bad prices for what you're getting - a piece of fashion memorabilia that pays tribute to the days when Bob Mackie's name was synonymous with Hollywood glamour and over-the-top style, both on the stage and on the red carpet.
Most people wouldn't actually hang one of Cher's outrageous black leather and lace ensembles or an old costume from The Carol Burnett show in their closet, but with this latest offering from Mackie, at least you can have a little bit of that star quality hanging on your wall instead.

If anything could put you in a summer mood, it's the new Calypso St. Barth for Target collection that's available now online and in stores.
I headed down to my nearest Target store (Daly City/Seramonte Mall) and was pleasently surprised to find a lot of the items available and in stock. The collection ranges from womens (including swimwear and lingerie) and girls/toddler/infant clothing to accessories (think beachy totes, espadrilles, jewelry) as well as some eclectic pieces for the home.
My favorite by far is this turquoise Fan-Print Dress ($36.99) that I am actually wearing now with leggings, my gold bangles, and gold Tory Burch flats. (It's a rare warm day here in SF!)
I will mention that the photos online don't do the collection justice at all. They look so much better in person! I was really surprised at the quality and the beautiful dyeing details in the fabric.
