Target Marimekko Launch April 17

Mark your calendars and set your alarms - the Target & Marimekko collaboration launches this Sunday! I have my eye on the stand up paddle board, kids tent and swimsuit coverups.

Call your local Target and find out if they will have this in store - not all Targets will! If they won't, have no fear, you can shop online. The past few successful collaborations have caused the Target site to crash. I have no idea if this will be a popular one, so just keep checking the site and be patient.

If you go in store, try and have a good idea of what you want to buy, and go directly to that department. Stuff will go fast! Happy Shopping - please share what you get in the comments!

Lilly Pulitzer for Target

I had no idea Lilly Pulitzer at Target was going to be as big as it was.  Don't get me wrong, I was excited, but I was also excited for Phillip Lim, Prabal Gurung & Jason Wu partnerships, and when I went shopping in store the morning of their launches, I didn't almost get trampled....Yes, this happened this morning.

I got to Target around 7:55am for the 8am opening and was probably 50th in line. I thought, no biggie, everyone is excited, and we're going to nicely walk in when the doors open and all have fun shopping together....not! Ladies ahead of me were doing calf stretches before the doors opened in preparation, the mother and daughter ahead of me were scheming their game plan of no cart and dividing and conquering. It was so intense! 

Target put out the collection throughout the store, in the corresponding category sections. So 'home goods' in the seasonal area, accessories with the other bags and scarves, etc. It basically created a scavenger hunt for everyone. 

Ladies running, grabbing 5 pieces of clothing at a time, carts being shoved out of the way, women yelling at their kids to grab as much as they can...it was chaos. But I'm not going to lie, it was still kind of fun :)

At one point I saw a panicked mother yell 'where's my daughter?' It was just too much. What a great way to start my Sunday! 

My Lilly Pulitzer Target haul included a Nosey Posey shirt, scarf, 3 Essie nail polishes, a makeup bag, bobby pins and a beach blanket. All in all, worth the quick visit to Target this AM. For any future exciting launches, I'll be sure to grab a coffee and get to the store a little earlier :) 

TONI&GUY at Target

Here's a fun promotion from Target...starting today, through Saturday 11/16, pick up an y 2 TON&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe products and receive a $10 Target GiftCard! Happy early holiday shopping!

Friday Favorites

This is a style themed Friday Favorites. I usually keep an eye open for fun styles that I can wear to work and transition to night. I normally don't buy stuff that I can't wear to my office (we have a casual dress code, but I usually dress business casual). The past few weeks I've found some really great Fall pieces from H&M, Target.com and at Marshalls that are work and date night friendly :)

Top: H&M, Pants: Piperlime.com Blank NYC, Necklace: Etsy.com, Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target.com, Shoes: Franco Sarto from Marshalls.com

Top: 3.1 Phillip Lim from Target.com, Jeans: DL1961, Shoes: Steve Madden, Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target.com, Necklace: Wantable.com

Normally I'm not a Target clothes shopper (they usually fit me weird) but I've been super impressed by their designer partnerships to date. Phillip Lim has been the best one yet!

 Dress: Marshalls, Jacket: boutique in Chicago, Shoes: DSW Nine West, Necklace: Francesca's

 Dress: Marshalls (old!), Jacket: boutique in Chicago, Necklace: RocksBox, Shoes: Marshall's Aerosoles (extremely comfortable!)

Dress: Vince Camuto from Marshalls, Shoes: Aerosoles from Marshalls

I'm a huge Marshalls fan. I find the cutest dresses, tops and shoes there. I'm kind of obsessed with my new beige suede booties from Marshalls. Because they are Aerosoles and have extra padding inside, they are super comfortable, even with the heel. I have been wearing them with both jeans and dresses.

Where are your favorite places to shop for work and weekend clothes? Please share in the comments!

Friday Favorites

This picture was taken while coming in for our landing in NYC. I was surprised at how good it came out. I seriously want to get this printed and framed. I was on my way to NY Fashion Week so I was a very happy camper. 

 Workout with Mike in Bryant Park. We did a HIIT workout and got some weird looks, but it was still a blast. 

 Phillip Limsanity! 3.1 Phillip Lim line at Target.com was a hit in my opinion. I scored most of the pieces I wanted (more pics to come). The large black tote that is pictures is my new work laptop bag. I get so many compliments on it!

Dinner with my team at Vellum in Ann Arbor. Hot new restaurant. I loved how they placed the veggies on my plate. All about the details!

Another team trip, but to shop! I purchased Sugar Paper journal from Rock Paper Scissors in Ann Arbor. It matches my new work bag :) I had no idea this store existed and now that I do, it could be dangerous! 

Please share your favorite things from this week in the comments! You can follow me on instagram.com/lipglossbreak to see more things I love :)

Phillip Lim for Target

It sort of feels like Christmas Eve...so excited for tomorrow that I probably won't be able to sleep! Phillip Lim for Target launches and I can't wait. I have my eye on a few bags, the black/leather dress and the leopard blazer.

Check out the collection here.

Few tips:
 - The collection MAY be available at midnight online. Can't hurt to set your alarm and check!
 - I called the Target in my city and they said they weren't carrying the line, but a neighboring city was. Good thing I checked, that would have made me so mad first thing in the morning!
 - If shopping online, make sure you know your Target.com username and password (or create an account now) so you can checkout quickly.
 - If you're in store and can't find your size, check the fitting rooms for discarded items. People will be grabbing multiple sizes to try on and discarding what doesn't fit, which may be your size!

Prabal Gurung for Target

Target is on a roll with their designer partnerships. This morning they launched their Prabal Gurung for Target line, both in store and online. I had a super busy morning so I couldn't make it in store, so I purchased a few items that caught my eye online...

Long-Sleeve Cardigan in Meet the Parents Print $32.99. I have black dress capri pants that I think this would be super cute with. Our office is always freezing so I'll probably wear it year round.

Dress in Meet the Parents Print $44.99. I have a few showers to go to this year so I'll definitely get use out of a dress like this.

Long-Sleeve Tee in Floral Crush Print $19.99. Love this print. It's so gorgeous. I'll pair this with skinny jeans and flats or shorts + heels in the summer.

Did you go to this sale? If so, what did you think? Please share what you purchased!

 

Jason Wu Madness

Hi all - Did you wake up early for Jason Wu at Target? I was an hour late to my Target, but still scored a dress and top (to the left). For those of you who haven't shopped yet, the sizes run fairly big. I normally wear a Small in a Target dress size, and the XS for Jason Wu fit me to a tee.

Let me know what you get!

Jason Wu for Target

Who's excited??? I can't wait to check out this line tomorrow morning. I'm going as soon as my local Target opens. I hope I can score some cute dresses for work. You can preview the Jason Wu line on Target's site. 


I'm not a huge fan of Target for home goods and beauty stuff. I had a bad experience there when it came to registering for my bridal shower, but these partnerships with high fashion designers are making me rethink loyalty to them. It's genius really. It's fun saying you own a dress or clutch from a lux designer you couldn't normally afford. Same with H&M when they did the Jimmy Cho line. I hope there are more designer partnerships to come!


Let me know what you girls score tomorrow!
