Impatiently tapping my toes until the April 18 launch of Cynthia Vincent for Target. Colorful ballet flats, gladiator wedges, and strappy, studded flats that are sure to be the summer go-to - for $24.99. Also on the 18th, look for a Target limited edition collection of hip hats from Eugenia Kim. Wish I could say I was as excited about Zac Posen's fashion collection for Target (see below) launching April 25, but while the look book is dutifully modern and edgy, past dressing room disappointments tell me the bitty skirts and retro swimwear won't work on most women beyond high school. Thank goodness for accessories.

Well hellooo, Harold. Introducing the new menswear-inspired accessories line from hot, hot Minneapolis-based Nelle Handbags. The launch party is April 15 and you're invited. Don't forget to RSVP - you could win a Harold tote. Details here.

Never thought of myself as having much in common with Calista Flockhart (I'm not even much of a Harrison Ford fan), but it turns out the "Brothers & Sisters" star and I share an affinity for the same specs. Eyeglasses designer Robert Marc told me so himself today when he made an appearance at InVision at the Galleria in Edina to promote his high-fashion line of glasses, worn by virtually every four-eyed celeb you can name: Katie Couric, Uma Thurman, Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Calista Flockhart. I brought Robert four models to fit in frames for a story that will run in  the St. Paul Pioneer Press. But after, I couldn't resist asking his opinion on my own plastic frames..which I thought I liked, until he told me they were too straight across the top. "I don't know why I keep thinking Calista with you," he said, presenting me with three modified cat eye plastic frames - all worn by Flockhart in various scenes on "Brothers & Sisters." "Serious, but soft," he declared. Our favorites sell for $475. Wish I had the ABC wardrobe department to pay for mine. Here I am, dreaming, in Calista's frames. Keep in mind she had hair and makeup. And Rob Lowe.

Soon, you'll be able to get an evening bag to match your manicure at Juut. Twin Cities designer Laura Nelli of hot handbag line Nelle has created a holiday accessories collection that will be sold exclusively at all eight Juut salon/spa locations beginning Nov. 3. The capsule collection include the brand new Eve clutch (pictured), designed for Juut, and the Nelle Headband Bud done in deep purples, soft silver and black with Nelle's signature attention to texture and detail.  Prices range from $36 to $110.

As for the significance of the partnership: Juut, like most salons, is looking for creative ways to grow at a time when women are letting their hair go to space out salon services. Retail beyond the typical Aveda hair products has proved to be lucrative, from notebooks to headbands. And for Nelli, whose bags are sold online and in a few small boutiques, the partnership brings exposure on a grander scale. Could be very convenient: get a blow-out, a mani/pedi, an evening bag and you're ready to party.
