A handy little rundown of all the fashion (and by this I mean shopping) events this week. The biggest news at a (mega)store near you is the fact that the Jovovich-Hawk line arrived to Targets this weekend. Chances are if you wait till NEXT week, there will only be size 0s and size 20s left so hop to it.

+Start the shopping week at the grand (and always insanely crowded) Spring 2008 District Sample Sale.
