Black Friday — that ugliest and most desperate of shopping days, in which consumers buck all self-respect and dignity while elbowing each other about the face and throat to secure the lowest price on a crock pot — is once again upon us. Analysts are predicting this to be the blackest Black Friday in history, with sales for the first time reaching $20 billion. With dollar signs in their eyes, retailers are planning to be as accommodating as possible to separate you from your hard-earned money before the turkey even gets a chance to settle in your colon. Happy Holidays!

- Dolce & Gabbana are shuttering their diffusion line, D&G, making their show today in Milan their last. The design duo is incorporating D&G into its signature line, thus giving them more “strength and energy” to devote to their collections. Great, now I’ll have to depend on that trash-dump Armani Exchange for my overpriced hooker garb. [The Cut]

Is the bloom off Target‘s rose? The Wall Street Journal reports that the retail giant’s recession-inspired emphasis on food and low prices has tarnished their once chic (?) image. Which just goes to show you — fashion and food have and will never go together.

- Celebrity’s and vanity fragrances go together like celebrities and…well, vanity, but leave it to pint-sized phenom Justin Bieber to break the mold…with his scented dog tags. Okay, perhaps not necessarily breaking the mold but throwing it off a step ladder and hoping a piece or two chips off. Bieber hand-picked the scents himself for the tags which will be available at Wal-Mart. So now tween girls everywhere can walk around smelling like bling, hairspray and baby (baby-baby) wipes. [WWD]

I might idolize Erin Wasson, but charging $160 and claiming profound fashion design on her Erin Wasson x RVCA splatter paint, inside-out fleece pants is completely ridiculous. I came across these at Opening Ceremony this weekend, and yeah, they look pretty cool, but these are totally a DIY project and NOT worth more than $5.
Ready for the foolproof DIY instructions? Good.
Step One: Go to Wal-Mart
Step Two: Buy sweatpants and paint
Step Three: Wear and wash the hell out of the sweatpants
Step Four: Splatter paint on the inside of the sweatpants
Step Five: Allow drying time
Step Six: Wear.
