Haven’t slept a wink due to the Missoni for Target madness, but shop online RIGHT NOW! The selection is even more impressive than the preview images from the look book. Currently, my cart has over $1,500 of Missoni the limited edition collection merch with no end in sight. Out of the 400 piece collection, view the slideshow for our editor’s picks of the creme de la chevron creme.

Some are lining up at their local Target, while others are brewing coffee and getting their clicking finger ready for the kick-off of Missoni for Target collection sale that begins on September 13th. No matter the method of shopping, fashionistas globally are getting ready to scoop up as much Missoni for Target limited edition items; with wallet friendly prices ranging from $2.99 to a $599.99 outdoor patio set.

The Missoni family name is synonymous with their signature zig-zag knitwear and creative use of patterns and punchy colors. Grab your piece of the iconic Italian lifestyle while you can because this collaboration will only be in-stores from September 13th through October 22nd. Target HQ reports certain items will be online-only, though depending on availability.

The pop-up shop on Sixth Avenue at Forty-second Street during Fashion’s Night Out in New York on September 8, 2011 was just a tiny preview of the Missoni madness to come; as the highly anticipated collection sold out within a few mere hours, closing up the pop up shop prematurely during NYFW.

So start stalking Target.com online tonight around 4am EST, when it is rumored they’ll be placing the items on the website. Check back tomorrow as I report my findings and bounty.

Latest Update: Shop the mobile site RIGHT NOW. Limited to Margherita’s Musts Haves at the moment, but enjoy!

MISSONI FOR TARGET IS NOW LIVE! SHOP NOW! **The website is crashing for some people, while still working for others. Many Target stores are now nearly sold out this morning as of 8:05am. Good luck!

What’s a better way to shop than after hours and with champagne in hand? Fashion’s Night Out is back for its third yearly installment and globally has grown to epic proportions. On September 8th, rub elbows with your favorite stars and celebs as you mingle with fellow fashionista shoppers. Don’t pass up on the chance to meet-and-greet with designers and snag the limited edition items specially made for the shopping event of the season.

Anna Wintour of Vogue, in collaboration with the CFDA, originally created FNO to kick off New York Fashion Week and to give the economy a boost. So, do your patriotic part and inject a little shopaholic stimulus into the economy.

Our editors have rounded up the Best Bets for FNO 2011 in Miami:

1) Neiman Marcus Bal Harbour

Foodies and fashionistas alike will rejoice and love this event featuring sips and snacks compliments of Epicure Market, Il Mulino New York, Soirée, Texas de Brazil, The Zodiac, Tudor House and Divine Delicacies Cakes. All the while Tara Solomon, Miami’s scene queen, will curate the Fall Trends fashion show accompanied by a “gleeful” chorus.

Dance off those calories to the sounds of DJ Affect, Pitbull’s record producer and Miami’s hottest spin master. Let those tired texting fingers rest with a much-needed hand massage while recharging your cells at the “Blackberry Relief Station” provided by Trump International Beach Resort. Caricatures are so old school, so step it up with the Bordeaux Beauty Bar and receive a lipstick portrait created by the “Lipstick Artists,” who will feature the saturated color palette of the season.

2) Klout VIP Lounge

You won’t get past these velvet ropes unless your a social media maven with a Klout score of at least 40. Whoever has the largest score gets a $500 gift card to the Shops at Bal Harbour for a luxe shopping spree. Take a moment in the lounge to kick back your tired soles from those sky high stilettos and tweet, Facebook, Foursquare, Instagram, Flickr, Google +, and Tumblr to all your closest fashion friends. Don’t forget to actually mingle with the real world while you’re there.

3) YSL

Indulge your sweet tooth and artistic sense at the same time at Yves Saint Laurent with champagne, macarons, and art. The store is donating 15 percent of the evening’s proceeds to the Bass Museum of Art. Whose mission is to inspire and educate by exploring the connection between their historical collections and contemporary art. The celebration will also debut the newest Cabas Chyc Handbag and Fall fashions.

4) Diane Von Furstenberg

Let all five senses run wild over at Diane von Furstenberg’s fete. Partake in some eye catching FlipBook fun, waft the latest DVF fragrance, put your hands all over a special gift with purchase, and of course taste some cocktails and hor d’ourves while listening to a DJ spin some sweet tunes. The party takes place in not one, but two DVF locations, so pick your favorite and get a feast for your senses.

5) Chloe

Camera phone voyeurs and amateur paparazzi can link up their digital wares – cameras or smartphones – to the Polaroid instant mobile printer for of-the-moment shots of the fashion and partygoers.  While the champagne will be flowing and the DJ Johnny the Boy will be setting the mood, try to keep the snaps PG-13. Who am I kidding? It’s Miami, so it’s Rated R for Risque.

6) Design District

Normally the neighborhood for ArtWalks, the Design District is hosting an evening of various fashion for a change of pace. At least 13 retailers will participate in the FNO’s activities, including The Webster at Luminaire, Marni, Maison Martin Margiela, Duncan Quinn, Anya Ponorovskaya, En Avance, Tomas Maier, Kiliwatch Miami, Nectar de Stagni, Sebastien James, Turchin Love & Light Collection, I on the District and Y-3.

Score some major deals like 50% off at Y-3 or try to find enlightenment with a few monks at Turchin Love & Light Collection. Shoppers also can enjoy complimentary Grey Goose cocktails at Oak Plaza on 39th Street. Agape and Artofficial will be performing live from 9pm to 11pm at Palm Court. You can’t beat free booze, beats, and Buddhists.

Our editors have rounded up the Best Bets for FNO 2011 in Dallas:

1) Highland Park Village –

Local runway producer extraordinaré, Jan Strimple is producing two catwalk shows featuring a myriad of the hautest designers and stores in HPV. Ogle the models and fashionable wares from a prime spot by Marquee Grill at 7PM and 9PM, but in the downtime, hop on over for some in-store experiences—

• Remember to play nice at Jimmy Choo, as they introduce the newest fashion blog on the block, D Magazine’s StyleSheet, complete with snacks and libations from 6pm to 10pm.
• If you’re in the market for diamonds, scoot on over to Harry Winston’s for a tempting mix of the three deadly C’s – champagne, chocolates, and carats.
• Let all five senses run wild over at Diane von Furstenberg’s fete. Partake in some eye catching FlipBook fun, waft the latest DVF fragrance, put your hands all over a special gift with purchase, and of course taste some cocktails and hor d’ourves while listening to a DJ spin some sweet tunes.
• Take a red soled step back into a different era at Christian Louboutin, where the lux boutique turns into a vintage hair parlor and wig shop in partnership with Frederic Fekkai from 5pm to 8pm. As they say, the bigger the hair, the closer to… Christian?
• If you’re still tangled up in knots over how to tie that damn turban trend, head over to Hermes for some scarf-tying demonstrations. Maybe you’ll pick up a few new tricks while you definitely pick up a champagne buzz.
• Treat your fingers to a mini mani from Chanel featuring the exclusive Les Jeans de Chanel collection. Run, don’t walk in your sky-high stilletos to purchase these coveted and very limited edition nail polish colors.

2) Galleria Dallas –

Do you remember rainy Halloweens where your Mom took you to the mall to trick-or-treat? FNO at the Galleria is kind of like that, except a million times better. Substitute the candy for hor d’ourves, costumes for couture, and join The Fashionistas for a toast in the Champagne Lounge. The prestigious fashion group is hosting the event featuring a plethora of mini-parties in each store.

Watch those long model legs take stride on apparently the longest runway in North America. The multiplicity Strimple (no really, how many shows can she produce in one evening?) is bringing on the pain to those poor models as they strut Fall fashions down the full quarter-mile of stores. Plus, Saks Fifth Avenue hosts Robert Graham’s founder and CEO Robert Stock.

3) Neiman Marcus NorthPark Center -

Fashion bloggers Bradley Agather, Alison Gross, Amber Venz and Krystal Schlegel put their pretty blonde minds together to style a runway event, but scurry on over because only the first 100 will have seats. For those with tuneful ears, DJs Jennifer Miller and Paul Paredes will be providing the evening’s soundtrack and Petty Theft performs. Each department will feature a mini-event, so many surprises are abound.

Ladies, let your men loose on Level 1, where they can imbibe on Scotch and puff on hand-rolled cigars while even getting a little Jack Black mini facial pampering. Those feeling crafty can DIY a pair of Hanky Panky panties in celebration of the brand’s birthday. If you still haven’t jumped on the the hair feathering bandwagon then FNO is you’re lucky night to add some plumes to your coiff. Get snap-happy with the photo booth or go hunting around on the Beauty Event scavenger and, of course, cocktails, light bites, and tunes by DJ OB-Jen and Juice.

4) Stanley Korshak -

For those in search of a stiffer drink, The Shak isn’t fooling around. Cocktails from Patron Tequila and Ultimat Vodka will have you reaching for your wallet as famed New York design duo, Sachin + Babi send their wares down the runway. Be sure to take a up close and personal look at the offerings at the trunk show. Those feeling lucky could win a dress in the raffle and don’t forget to take home special gifts with purchase. Remember to pad your drinking with some of the light bites and try not to party shuffle too hard to DJ Wish FM.

5) 4510 -

Hollywood heads down South as 4510 partners with LA-based retailer, Decades for a pop-up shop that lasts until September 10th. Owners of the famed LA boutique and soon-to-be Bravo TV stars, Cameron Silver and Christos Garkinos, will making a special public announcement. Catch the latest A-list gossip as you purchase their vintage and designer couture garb.

Sara Beltran of Dezso will be here debuting her latest collection. Enjoy cocktails courtesy of Belvedere and Moet, and music from Dallas’ most fashionable DJ, Lucy Wrubel.

6) Tootsies -
