I’m sure you’re privy to Target’s newest collaboration with designer…Missoni. How do you feel about that? I’m not a huge fan of Target’s “from designer to awful plastic hanger" delivery of the clothing thus far in what has been termed their “Go International Designer Collection”. I appreciate that they are bringing designer pieces to a larger audience but it misses the “target” (I’m good, right? sarcasm.) on quality, texture and craftsmanship. I wish they would make their clothing at least as “good” as Banana Republic? Shouldn’t be hard...but what do I know? That being said, if Vivienne Westwood ever did a collection for Target I would buy it all up it 2.2 seconds.
Soooo…..in this highly anticipated (hello, 10 page ad in Vogue’s September Issue) 400 piece collection for Target I have gathered my 13 favorite pieces. I would love to know your favs!
i'm planning on stocking up on these. I have gotten out of the habit, as I tend to stay in nicer places than I used to while traveling, but I used to pack a "travel candle"....these are PERFECT for that.....I may have to save a few for the rare occasion I accompany my husband on a vintage car rally where we don't always stay in the nicest digs.....
i mean, this is just cute.
i always give my house guests bottles of water, but how much cuter would it be in these?! good on a nightstand for a graphic punch that isn't colorfully distracting.
just because you have to keep a tool kit in your car doesn't mean it can't be "hidden" in something cute......or maybe i'll wait until these bags go on super mark down and use them for my grocery bags...!
ugh. flats. ugly to begin with. these are adorable and i'm going to stock up.
i love giving people photos as hostess gifts and always keep frames on hand in order to do the job for them, so the photo doesn't stay in the card for years to come....
just you know, little pretty whatever clips for your 'do.
i'm not committing to completely backing these pillows until i see + feel them in person, but the one of the right has potential of living with me.
if these are too cheapy to wear to work, use for a scarf around a pony at the gym, or tied around a handbag.....tie up your silverware or a bunch of apples for a picnic in these....see below:
just adorable for your picnic basket.......!!
not a fan of the tower, but love this catawampus mix of patterns for a spicy and sassy tea party/post dinner gossip session!
i have to see these in person, but i think these may be a cute "catch-all" on a dresser for spare change, or stack one up with attractive and disposable hand towels for your next mixer...
i love wine + i LOVE these gift boxes.....you still may not be able to distract the fact you're packing Charles Shaw, but these are chic enough to up the ante on that $10 bottle of wine you're taking to a party.
and that's it, folks....my 2 cents. Missoni for Target reigns downs on September 13. You can see where I took all my images from and view most of the lookbook here.
Soundtrack for this colorful + fun designer is one of my favorite Cuban bandleaders who I just happen to be listening to tonight....Perez Prado:
I marked my calendar weeks ago! And just oogled over Vogue's spread yesterday. We'll see about the clothes styling/quality, but I expect the housewares and accesories to be RAD. It will be fun to explore and I like your take on the above. I too will be stocking up on the candles, checking out the pillows, and I think I saw a throw blanket somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the melamine plates (or plastic, or whatever they are). Our everyday dishes are Missoni for Ginori, the pattern we registered for at our wedding I adore them, but they sadly have not held up to six years of everyday use and several have big chips. I wish they would come to Target - the actual per plate price has kept me from prioritizing restocking for a while now ;-)
ReplyDelete@klmgroove.....i love your choice for everyday dishes - what a cheerful way to dine on a daily basis!
ReplyDelete@Stacey - i missed the throw....that could be cute! fingers crossed it isn't 100% poly! :)
reason #596 we need a target in santa barbara.
ReplyDeletegimme that catawampus cup and saucer set - sans tower, totes.
oooh, and i like the idea of a (non-poly) throw, too.
i think bonzo and i will have to make a trip to ventura in a couple weeks!
