If you are a long time reader of this blog, then you’d probably know I don’t cover much news on here. This blog is not one that covers much news, if any at all, unless I think it is noteworthy on here. That being said, there are a handful of fashion news I wanted to talk about in posts.

Even though I wanted to write individual post about them all, I didn’t think it was worth the time to write separate posts for everything I learned. Instead, I decided to write a post dedicated to all the fashion news I found out about during the month of May. Everything in this post is not as new as other fashion news, or as important, but it is something that caught my ear and eye. So, I hope you enjoy reading my fashion news roundup!

Target Now Has Storefronts

Target now has Storefronts! I don’t know when Storefronts launched, but I realized they are available in May. So, if you are like me and had not idea Target has Storefronts, or what the Storefronts are, it’s new to you too! Basically what Target’s Storefronts is a place for social media influencers to have their favorite products available to purchase in one location. From what I can see, it is similar to Amazon’s influencer program and Amazon storefronts for their affiliates program. So far I haven’t found a lot of information about it, but it is connected with Target Partners, their official affiliates program.

Dillard’s Has Store Exclusive Collaborations

Dillard’s has announced multiple store exclusive collaborations for over a year now (If I remember correctly) so this is not new. Still, if you haven’t checked out their store exclusive collaborations, I highly recommend it! Their collaborations are usually with social media personalities, content creators, and influencers, so the designs are different than the ones normally seen at Dillard’s. The products in the collaborations include clothing, accessories, home essentials, and home decor. The current collaborations (As of the publishing of this post) are as follows:

• Gianni Bini x Jess Southern
• Antonio Melani x Nat Note
• Gianni Bini x Venita Aspen
• Anna & Ava x KBStyled
• Southern Living x Nellie Howard Ossi

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
