Diving in Head First
Hello world! What a glorious day. Why glorious, you ask? I’ve decided to declare my love of Missoni to Ms. Margherita Maccapani Missoni herself. Why not let her know how much I idolize Missoni’s work as a fashion house? Who doesn’t like a little praise?
With style,
Ciao!

Meoooooow
One word, ladies. Catsuit. Need I say more? Animal print is so fabulous it speaks for itself. So here’s a little fun factoid about it instead. The 1930s Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, sworn enemy of Coco Chanel (shocking, I know), is the woman responsible for making animal print all the rage it is today. And wait. There’s more. She’s also responsible for making hot pink a hot color....

Tickle Me in Zig Zags and Stripes at an Affordable...
Since entering the world of Target, I’ve done my research. Obviously they’re a major retailer, but I didn’t totally understand the hugeness of all this. Cuz it’s huge! They’ve done some unbelievable lines with other designer greats like Alexander McQueen, Richard Chai, Thakoon, Rodarte and Jean Paul Gaultier. Drop a name and they’ve probably done a partnership with...

Partners?
To all style-obsessed: It’s come to my attention Missoni is partnering with Target. INSANE! (So glad I have access to the inside scoop.) They’re designing a fashion line AND home line with them. Soooo cool. I mean, just thinking of the possibilities could make my porcelain head crack. Fabulousness is going to reach a whole new level. You wait, and remember it was this doll who told...

Check Your Hat
Yes, another hat. I can’t help myself. Could you if an adorable straw hat complimenting a peach dress and white sneakers breezed by your waistline? Now that’s some serious style on the sporty chic move.

Spoken Like No Other
“Family is as important as zig-zags or stripes.” – Margherita Maccapani Missoni.
I like her even more. This doll agrees with the importance of keeping your head screwed on right.

Check Me In
OMG. Brace yourselves again. Missoni designs hotels and has a home line. Yep, you heard me right. Right now they’ve got hotels in Edinburgh and Kuwait. I mean… OMG. An entire building constructed from the best of the best in style. It’s built to feel like a home with the restaurant (kitchen) in the center like a real Italian house. Every piece of furniture, switch, button, decorative pillow,...

Can You Over Pattern?
Here’s a question for those of you on the style frontlines. How much is too much? Stripes, checks, polka dots… this fashion forward doll is all for mixing and matching, but where do you draw the line between eye-catching and dizzying?
Channel your inner Missoni. Or my inner Mom.

Ciao!

Hold Onto Your Hat
Let’s be honest fashionistas, we’re always on the run to be fabulous somewhere fabulous. But nothing is ever so urgent you can’t stop for a moment and share your glamour with a fellow style lover like yourself. Just the other day this amazing girl stopped mid-dash to show me her uber cool 70s-style black felt hat. She was even so nice as to ask me if I wanted to try it on… though we both knew it...
