Neiman Marcus + Target + 24 Awesome Designers = The Best Hi-Lo Collaboration Ever

On Dec 1st, a beautiful thing happened. Target and Neiman Marcus partnered to launch the Holiday 24. If you have read my blog loyally, you know that I have a big weakness for a good partnership, and an even bigger weakness for telling you about great deals! This partnership was perfectly timed and perfectly executed. Basically, 24 amazing designers created one or more exclusive pieces of clothing for adults and kids, housewares, luggage, and so much more! Many items are already sold out online already, but you can probably still find them in store at Target and Neiman Marcus. Here's a look at what the Holiday 24 has to offer:

These Altuzarra glasses and shaker look vintage but are brand new and beautiful. What a great gift for your holiday host and hostess!

Joseph Altuzarra Cocktail Shaker ($50) & Double Old-Fashioned Glasses ($50)

Traveling over the holidays? This suitcase is small enough to carry-on, and the neon detailing makes for a chic airport look.

Alice+Olivia Rolling Luggage $180

Who knew that Band of Outsiders made Cookie Cutters?! They would definitely make your holiday baking a little more entertaining.

Band of Outsiders Cookie Cutter & Stamper Set $30

Like I said in last week's Holiday Outfit Must-Haves post, a sparkly clutch is necessary this holiday season. If you don't do sequins, go for a metallic/shimmery clutch like one of these by Marc Jacobs.

Marc Jacobs Metallic Zip Clutch Bag $70

This is the yoga mat I tweeted about. DVF, Lululemon, and a good yoga flow... what more do you need?

Diane von Furstenberg Yoga Mat $50

Is this not a fabulous party top? Balance its shape with skinny black pants and spiked heel booties.

Tracy Reese Sequined Blouse $80

Sometimes when you're wearing black-tie attire, it's hard to find a coat that doesn't ruin the look. This lightly sequined cape would solve the problem and look awesome with denim, too! Also, this is a lot more affordable than the exquisite $5,000 cape I tried on this week at the Etro store on Madison Avenue...

Prabal Gurung Sequined Cape $80

It wouldn't be the holidays without a proper party dress! The colors, floral pattern, and shape make this Lela Rose dress super feminine and sophisticated.

Lela Rose Watercolor High-Low Dress $100

Don't you wish this came in adult size?? This Marchesa dress is angelic without being cheesy. Adorable!

Marchesa Girls' Hand-Beaded Dress $100

Studded leather for boots, jackets, and now gloves. At only $50, these long Brian Atwood gloves are a steal!

Brian Atwood Studded Leather Gloves $50

There is even something for men. The retro-looking white piping detail on this Thom Browne blazer makes it a little more formal. If you know how much Thom Browne usually costs, you know what a great deal this is!
