With the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey flick on the horizon (you've seen the steamy trailer, right?), I've noticed a return to unapologetically sexy dressing. With stretched schedules and everyday stresses putting constant pressure on us all,  a little bit of lace here and a sexy stiletto there can work miracles at making you feel like a natural woman (woma-a-an). 

Target's newest designer collab with Parisian label Altuzarra takes seductive dressing to the next level with a limited-edition collection of women’s apparel, accessories and shoes for fall. At only 31, Joseph Altuzarra has quickly become one of fashion's youngest, most respected designers, winning a slew of international prizes including the 2014 CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award.

“One of the guiding principles of Altuzarra is that fashion can be transformative, changing not just the way you look, but also the way you feel," says Altuzarra.

So, apparently this collection is designed to transform you into a vixen with its tailored suits (your 9-to-5 will never be the same), flowy dresses and sexy heels for the modern, feminine, confident woman. As for this modern woman? I've got my bedroom eyes trained on the Romanian swiss-dot black maxi, the cropped faux fur jacket (insane!), the tailored blazers, and those crazy sexy over-the-knee boots. Va-va-voom, non? To add to the temptation, the collection ranges from only $18.99 to $89.99, making this one of the most affordable Target designer collabs to date. Yes, yes, yes!

Mark your calendars, ladies: Joseph Altuzarra for Target launches September 14^th at mostTarget stores across Canada with a select assortment also available on NET-A-PORTER.com.  

Take a peek at the entire Joseph Altuzarra for Target collection below. I know, I'm such a tease...

All About Target x Altuzarra

I can pretty much count on a monthly press release announcing a new collaboration. Since I'm not yet jaded (I promise) and I sincerely love fashion, I still feel that twinge of excitement when I hear the news.  This time around, Target has partnered up (way up) with Altuzarra, the luxury fashion label known for its mix of French sophistication and American ease. Yum. The limited-edition collection of women’s ready-to-wear apparel, accessories and shoes will include more than 30 items, ranging in price from $17.99 to $89.99 for apparel, and $29.99 to $79.99 for shoes and accessories.

  “As a designer, I believe firmly in the transformative power of fashion. It has the ability to not only change how you look, but also how you feel,” said Joseph Altuzarra, the brand’s designer and creative director. “I’ve admired the elegance that Target brings to fast fashion. By working together on this capsule collection, we hope to instill a sense of power, confidence and beauty in women everywhere.”  

Like Altuzarra's group of refined, independent fashion fans including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Bosworth, Cameron Diaz, and Cate Blanchett, I can't wait to git me some Altuzarra. Though I expect those refined women would probably not used the words 'git me some'. Except for J. Law. She would totally throw that down. Mark your calendars: the Target x Altuzarra collection will be available Sept. 14 at most Target stores in the US and Canada, while an edited assortment of the Target collection will be available globally at NET-A-PORTER.COM.

Exciting, right? Is this collab enticing enough to make you wait in line? Or will you, like me, be hitting up NET-A-PORTER in the wee hours of the morning?
