Victoria Beckham x Target Lookbook is Here!!!

The Victoria Beckham for Target lookbook is finally here! Less than a month before the budget-friendly collaboration launches in-store and online April 9th, you can now start planning your shopping wish list. The 200-piece collection includes women, girls, toddler, and baby is inspired by the upbeat charm of Victoria's own Victoria line. Prices start at just $20 for the women's line and Plus sizes will be available in select stores! I'm getting a very sixies fashion vibe with scallops and bold prints on several of the items, I really wish more accessories were included other than just the two scarves.

I first saw photos late yesterday on Vogue while scrolling on Facebook. My initial reaction after seeing the items was a bit disappointing, now that I've had a chance to see the items individually and not styled together in the lookbook, I'm liking it a bit more, just not sure I love anything. We'll see if the anticipation surrounding the line lives up to the hype, although it's hard to compete with the Lilly Pulitzer madness!

Although I do have a few favorites on my list, overall, the women's clothing doesn't look very flattering, that being said, it could all change the moment I step into Target and realize I need all of it haha. The kids clothing is really cute and will probably be a bit hit with the average Target consumer, especially with Easter around the corner.

What does everyone think? I'm dying to hear your thoughts on this collection!

Modern by Dwell Magazine x Target Look Book!

Get excited! I've been eagerly awaiting to see the Modern by Dwell Magazine x Target look book pics (Thanks to The Budget Babe for the heads up) and now it's less than two weeks away from launching. The 122-piece modern furniture and decor collaboration starts at $16.99 and goes up to $399.99 and includes decor, tabletop, accessories, and furniture pieces. I'm curious how this collection is going to sell since not everyone is a fan of modern style, I'll probably pick up a couple of items depending on the quality in person. Since this collection isn't available until after Christmas, let's hope we all get some Target giftcards in our stockings.

Available online & in select stores starting Tuesday, Dec. 27th!

Will you be shopping the Dwell collection?

Victoria Beckham for Target!! + More Collab News!

Happy designer collabs everyone! It's that time of year where collections are launched and announced to get shoppers excited to spend money during the holidays and beyond. I couldn't be more excited to see Victoria Beckham as the latest to join the Target collaboration world. I'll be dreaming of what might be included... shoes, handbags, accessories (pleaseeee). This collection will be reflect her more "affordable" VVB line which is more girly, fun and happy according to her and in my opinion will be an easier way for Target to create an accessible line and lower price point rather than her structured suit/dress high-end label. I'm really hoping Target steps it up with the fabric and quality this time around to showcase her designs, I would gladly pay more for nicer pieces.

Who else is excited that Victoria will be in Target stores next year?!!

NEW Who What Wear Collection at Target: Wave 3 + SALES!

So far, my favorite designer collaboration at Target has been with Who What Wear! Their monthly line with the blogger duo is easily the most wearable and affordable since it first launched in February.  I was excited to see more new arrivals and while most of this collection isn't available online yet (Target always seems to be a step behind), look for it in stores now! I didn't get a chance to try on anything #NoTime and a few of these pieces might be harder to pull off with ruffles and sheer pieces leading the pack, let me know what you think!

Who's excited for this latest Who What Wear Collection?

Marimekko for Target Store Pics + Tax Day Sales!

Target's New Collab with Marimekko seems to have gone well, no online issues and plenty of merchandise at most stores. Of course this is the one time I didn't buy anything, which probably has something to do with not having a much of an outdoor space or needing anymore cover-ups or flips-flops, lol. Overall, I thought distinctive Marimekko prints was a success for Target since most of the customers at my stores seemed to have liked (and purchased) the bold prints in both the clothing and home departments. While I didn't try anything on (horrible blogger award, sorry!), the sizing looked true to size for the most part.  I'd love to hear what you thought of the collection.

Did you get anything?

15 Tips to Shop Marimekko at Target THIS Sunday!

Who's excited for another designer collaboration at Target? Meeee! Despite not having a huge wish list, that could all change the second I walk through the doors this Sunday morning, the anticipation and excitement of these collabs always reminds me of Christmas morning, except now I drink coffee instead of hot chocolate. If you are a fan of bold prints and the great outdoors, this one is for you! I'm not sure if this launch is going to sell out as quickly as Lilly Pulitzer did last year, but I do know most of the buzz is for the home decor, which are the pieces I'm hoping to grab too!

Who's excited - will you be shopping the collection this Sunday?

REED for DesigNation at Kohl's is Here + BIG SALES!!

Kohl's collaboration with Reed Krakoff for DesigNation is here to shop! The collection includes more affordable versions of his handbags and clothing. While the items won't be in stores until next Thursday, April 21, everything is available to order online. I'll be crossing my fingers to see a few pieces this weekend since Kohl's usually launches these collections earlier than the actual street date.

The prices unfortunately are much higher for the coveted handbags than I had hoped, so I'll probably be waiting for a sale to combine it with an extra discount and taking my chances that the bag I want won't sell out. I'm also a bit disappointed to read that the handbags are faux leather, I know I shouldn't expect real leather versions from a designer collab, but honestly you can find quality leather bags at these prices pretty much everywhere.

At least they do have smaller accessories for under $30 and cute bag charms, clothing is also available, but I'm focused on the handbags this time around.


What are your thoughts about the faux leather bags at these prices - will you get anything?

Marimekko for Target Lookbook is Here!!

In less than a month, Target stores will be flooded with bold prints from Finnish designer Marimekko for the latest collaboration. While I appreciate the designer's style, I probably won't be buying clothing from this collaboration, which is somewhat of a relief. This collection is focused on the outdoors and consists mainly of swimwear and coverups, with hats and flip flops also in the mix. The home decor is easily my favorite and the tote bags are tempting my wallet too, excited to see all of it in person. Over 200 pieces are included across the board that also includes Plus sizing and girls clothing. Details on which items will be available online only or in selected stores as it gets closer to the launch date.

What do you think of this collab - anything on your wish list?

Target's Who What Wear: Collection 2 + Mini Review

In case you missed the quiet second wave of Target's ongoing collaboration with the blog Who What Wear, I wanted to share the new arrivals since many of you didn't even know more pieces were already available. Some of my local stores put out a few pieces early, while others finally started showing up this week on display. I already scooped up the striped dress and look forward to wearing it with the Mossimo vest I purchased last month. Love all the chic trendy styles with a very European vibe and the affordable price tags continue to impress me for the quality.

Will you be adding any pieces to your wardrobe or purchased anything from this collection?

Who What Wear x Target Collection is Here! Store Pics + Mini Review

The latest Target collaberation is the first ongoing collection featuring new items each month. It also includes some of the most wearable pieces I've seen come out of a collab, always a good thing. Mixing bold prints, classics, and trendy items intended to build your wardrobe, sign me up! Did I also mention every.single.item is under $50? The average price point is actually around $30 and the quality, at least from the fit and look of some of the items seem to be well worth picking up a few favorites.

I'm obviously excited to share the store pics and mini review to make it easier if you are able to order online. Pretty much everything is running true to size and when in doubt order both sizes if you are unsure. The good news is there doesn't seem to be a 14-day return policies like previous launches. The other good news is that the store I visited carried the Plus size line!

By the way, online shopping didn't even pop up on Target's landing page until almost 9am this morning creating all kinds of confusion, what's a Target launch without a bit of drama, I would really love to find out someday, haha.

What's on your wish list?

Who What Where x Target Look Book is Here!! Everything is under $50!

I have been checking daily for the last two weeks to see the latest Target collaboration lookbook and it's finally here! While it's not your usual designer launch, this one is with style influencer mega-blog Who What Where and it's definitely the most wearable looking of the Target collabs. A perfect mix of modern chic street style and every item looks better than the next, can you tell I'm excited? The best part about this collection is that it really allows you to build a solid wardrobe with these pieces, trendy basics you might not already own, along with swoon-worthy jackets to take your look to the next level. They've included plus sizes, although it will only be available online so far. This launches in store + online January 31st, with a new collection every month (!!) , in case you need more reasons to shop at Target.

What's on your must-have list?

Balmain x H&M Collection: Everything You Need to Know Before Nov 5th!

We are now two weeks away from one of the biggest designer launches in H&M's fashion history. French fashion house Balmain is bringing their signature beading and embellishment to H&M, unfortunatly for most of us, the prices are still way out of our budget. While these items aren't "everyday" clothing, I wanted to share this gorgeous collection since there are a few pieces under $50 and for those of you who want to treat yourself and love Balmain's style, you will not be disappointed. Make sure you scroll down for all of the info after the lookbook photos and remember these are just a sampling of the collection.

Are you planing to shop this collection when it launches November 5th?

Adam Lippes for Target 40+ Store Photos + Mini Review!!

Today marked one of the quieter Target designer launches since I've been shopping these collaberations, not that I'm complaining. After the craziness of the Lilly Pullitzer launch in early summer, I think fashionistas everywhere (well, the ones who were actually aware of this collab anyway, thanks to limited marketing) were happy to be able to walk into Target on a Sunday afternoon and actually see the Adam Lippes plaid collection. My store was unusually busy by the time I arrived around 9:30ish, but I was still able to see everything that was available in store, although sizing was limited and it made for some challenging picture taking.

Overall, I loved the bags and shoes, but clothing ran quite large. The prices were on the higher side, even for a designer collection. A few random items such as a ceramic dog canister for thirty dollars (whaaat??) was strange to say the least.  I only purchased the B&W bucket bag and flats, both online. I'll be stalking quite a few items come clearance time and hopefully grab a top and sweater. The good news for all of you that can't make it to the store, most items are still available online

What did you think of the collection - yay or nay?

Who's ready to shop the Adam Lippes collection for Target this weekend? For all of you "mad for plaid" lovers, this one is for you! The New York based designer is the latest to launch an affordable line of clothing, accessories, shoes and home decor this Sunday.

Good Luck and Happy Shopping!

LC Lauren Conrad New "Runway" Collection at Kohl's + Extra 20%- 30% off coupon code!

I'll admit it, I love Lauren Conrad's chic and accessible style (referred to as #basic by some, but I'm okay with that). I was excited when she announced that her clothing line at Kohl's would be adding an elevated "runway" collection into the mix. The color palette is beautiful and ethereal (the ballroom skirts alone are swoon-worthy) and I can't wait to see all of it in person! 

Since this is considered a "special edition" launch, some pieces are more expensive than her usual price point, although there are also plenty of affordable items too. Judging from the gorgeous photos and fashion show, it might be worth a splurge, especially when you consider you can also use coupon codes in addition to the sale prices. This is a small sampling of what's available, view the entire collection here.

The Target x Adam Lippes Look Book is Here! Plaid, plaid, plaid!

Get ready ladies and gents, the newest Target collaboration is mad for plaid with designer Adam Lippes this September! Not only will we see his collection of plaid chic, but the entire store will be packaging everyday items (klennex boxes, bandaids, etc.) with this fall favorite available now and continuing through October. I'm already seeing a few must-have pieces, but you have to check out the entire Look Book because this is just a sampling of what will be available.

The official Adam Lippes collection launches in-store and online September 27

What do you think of this huge launch - are you mad for plaid?

Lilly Pulitzer for Target Lookbook is Here!

Designer Lilly Pulitzer is bringing her iconic prints and resort-wear style to Target in less than a month and the super cute lookbook is finally here! The 250 piece collection includes clothing, kids line, accessories, and home decor with prices starting at $2 going up to $150. Plus size clothing will be available only only, which I'm sure is disappointing for those finally waiting to be included in the designer collaborations, but at least it is available this time around. I have to admit that before I saw the lookbook, I wasn't that excited to shop the collection, after seeing some of the pieces here...let's just say I'll be at the store bright and early on launch day.

 Start making your wish list fashionistas and mark April 19th on your calendars!

Are you excited for this collection?

Peter Som for DesigNation at Kohls is here!!

Designer Peter Som's Collection for Kohls arrived online today with the collection hitting the stores this Thursday.  Said to be "Inspired by the laid-back luxury of St.Barth's"...well, sign me up! I am excited to see these beautiful and very wearable pieces in person, but I won't be at a store until the weekend so for now, I'll be making my wish list.

Prices start at $38 for the pineapple t-shirt (so fun!) and go up to $78. Keep in mind that all items will go on sale plus the Kohl's additional 15% or more discount. All of the previous DesigNation collabs have made it all the way to the clearance racks. Depending on the sale prices in the next few days, I may pick up my favorite must-have items like the J'adorable tee and maybe a stripe dress. As for the rest of the collection, I'll be holding out a while longer for clearance prices, although from the pictures, it looks like some of these cute items won't be around for long!
