Nitrolicious, as usual, has leaked photos from two upcoming Target collaborations: first, a few advertising images from the Carlos Falchi handbags collection, which hits stores November 1st. She also has leaked photos, here and here, of the Rodate Go International collection, which hits stores December 20th. Based on these images alone, I am getting pretty pumped about Rodarte. As for Carlos Falchi, meh. (Then again, that's usually how I feel about Target's shoe and handbag collaborations.)

But if November and December seem a long way away, The Cut reports that Pierre Hardy's long-awaited fall shoes and boots hit the Gap on October 19th. These boots, which I admit I'm totally lusting after, are $175, which, while not exactly a bargain, is significantly more affordable than a regular-priced pair of Pierre Hardy shoes, which can easily run more than $1,000. That said, I think I'll wait till my Gap Friends & Family coupon turns up—while Pierre Hardy's shoes are always awesome (I own a pair from every Gap collection he's done thus far), they don't sell out nearly as quickly as the Design Editions, thus buying the bargain-inclined among us a little time.

In case you haven't heard already, Jimmy Choo is designing a line for H&M. Featuring shoes for men and women, plus handbags and eveningwear, the pairing is noteworthy for two major reasons. For one, it marks H&M's first designer accessories collaboration—while previous ventures have been primarily clothes collections that included accessories, this one is primarily accessories, with a few clothes. And, secondly, Jimmy Choo is one of the three major players in the Designer Shoe Trifecta (the other two being Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin), and so this is a major score on H&M's part. The line hits stores November 14th, with prices for shoes at roughly $55-$138 (40-100 Euros) and bags going up to $276 (200E). Considering most Choos retail for $495-$795, this excellent news. This photo, from WWD [subscription required], is the only one available thus far, but as soon as more images turn up, I will of course post them here.

Kind of makes Carlos Falchi's collection for Target seem anti-climactic, doesn't it?
