Nitrolicious has pictures of the upcoming Loomstate by Rogan for Target collaboration, and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that everything is awesome. The bad news is that because everything is so awesome, you're going to go broke. (Ha! See what I did there? I fooled you!) Okay, in all honesty, some of the pieces are very similar to last year's Rogan Go International collection, such as the rolled-sleeve sweater. But the Rogan collection was one of the best to date, and a similar sweater sold out right away, so I will be happy to get one this time. I have my eye on the grayish T-shirt dress and especially this plaid dress, which is totally the type of thing I like to live in all summer long ($39.99, y'all!). I also like the little black jacket, the dip-dyed skirt, and the colorblocked tank. It hits stores and Target.com April 19th. Wahoo!

Last week, Target announced two tasty bits of information. First, since its Go International collection with Rogan Gregory was so successful, they're launching an eco-friendly Loomstate for Target collection [subscription required], featuring organic cotton, linen, and silk pieces. The line will hit stores on April 19th, just in time for Earth Day on April 22nd, and will be available until May 16th. And, buried in WWD's Fashion Scoops [subscription required] last week: a Felix Rey handbag collection, available March 29-June 14 and a shoe collection from Miss Trish of Capri, available April 5-June 14, are also coming soon to a Target near you (and, of course, Target.com).

Spurred on by the success of this month's Comme des Garcons collection--and perhaps realizing that by offering just one designer collection per year, they're probably missing out on a piece of the masstige pie--H&M will launch a collaboration with Matthew Williamson [subscription required], the Brit who until recently designed Pucci (his namesake collection, beloved by Brit It Girls, will open a Meatpacking District store next year). The bonus is that this collaboration comes in two parts: The first, a 20-piece capsule collection, will hit 200 H&M stores worldwide on April 23rd; the second, a 30- to 40-piece men's and women's collection, will drop in all 1,700 H&M stores in mid-May. That means that if you're a fan of Williamson's colorful designs, you might actually get your hands on some of them.

Today, Target confirmed the rumor that Scot Jonathan Saunders will be the next Go International designer (that is, after Richard Chai, who's up next); his line will hit stores in October. And if you haven't already heard, Rogan Gregory's collection is now available. When I first looked through it, I thought it was kind of boring, but on closer look, the pieces are sophisticated and modern--and most of them are organic silk or cotton, making it all eco-conscious as well as style-conscious. There's a lot of black and beige, yes, but the animal prints make it fun. I have my eye on the romper, the crocheted sweater, and the printed silk blouse. After a few misfires, the Go International collections are back on track; now I can't wait for Richard Chai.

The latest Kate Moss Topshop collection is now available too, and I think it's one of her strongest lines yet; I am lusting after this pansy dress, and since it's sold out in my size online, I'm hoping it turns up at Opening Ceremony.

Finally, Alexander Wang's Uniqlo line hits stores next Friday; based on the pictures here, I think I might have to ditch work in order to wait in line.
