On Target

Last week Katie saw this fantastic black and white gingham shirt on one of our favorite blogs, Proper Hunt. 

So of course, she had to order it and then send the link to me to show her fabulous find. Can you believe it's Target? Unfortunately it must have been popular as it's nearly sold out and is on sale for $19.99. 

While that style is nearly gone, I did find some other fun summer shirts that are in stock and equally as fabulous.

Button Back Top $22.99

 Bardot Sleeve Top $22.39

I love this in both colors!

 Pick up Sleeve Top $22.39

Cleary this season Target is...well, on Target! :) Happy shopping! 

What I Wore

During our recent trip to Sun Valley, I picked up this amazing Rebecca Taylor silk ruffle dress at Consign Design. We returned to SV over the weekend to meet Mini Fashionista II, and some family friends hosted a "sip n' see". It offered the perfect opportunity to wear my new dress. 

I paired it with my Target Wedges (post here). It's hard to believe they are 4 years old. And for my birthday (it's this week), Katie gave me the Smith Sidney sunglasses I was coveting (post here)...Thanks Sister.

This post is a good example how you can mix and match expensive and inexpensive. Rebecca Taylor dress + target shoes. A match made! 

And cheers to AS (a loyal friend and reader) for taking the photos! She experienced her first trip to SV over the weekend, and I think she's hooked. Of course we had to take her to Consign Design... #svlifeisthebestlife

Products We Love

These days it seems like I do the majority of my shopping on Amazon Prime, so the trips to Target have become much more infrequent. Yesterday I had some extra time on my hands, so I made a trip to the Bullseye Boutique.

Not having been there in a while I was surprised by the new Kleenex Perfect Fit box. Isn't this way "cuter" than the square box?

I actually needed tissues, so of course I had to buy them.

I may never by a square or rectangular box of Kleenex ever again!

Currently Coveting

Last summer I purchased my first pair of footbed sandals. Remember these from Target? One of my fashionista friends asked me if there were Loeffler Randall. I wore them non-stop. 

These may be this year's sandal of the summer. They also are quite similar to the Paz sandal from Loeffler Randall, but are a fraction of the price. 

SOLE SOCIETY MAE SANDAL $74.95

Oh Joy! for Target

Any readers of the blog Oh Joy!? Well, she recently launched a collaboration with Target, and it's SO CUTE! From baby clothes to nursery and home decor there are some ridiculously adorable things. So much so that when I ordered this lamp for the nursery, I also made my first purchase for baby McB.

The experts say I'll need lots of sleepers, so these seemed like a very practical purchase.

And while I didn't get one, how cute would one of these figurines be on the shelf of a nursery or little girl's room! 

Looking for a house warming or birthday gift for a girl friend? This small bites appetizer plate set is just the ticket (have I mentioned my obsession with cute dishware?).

With their vibrant colors, these pieces will definitely bring joy to your life! 

Target for the Nursery Win

While you're going to have to wait for the entire thing to come together before I share all the deets on the nursery, I thought I'd give you a little peak here and there. As you may have read previously, Kate of Kate Collins Interiors is helping me design just the perfect room for our little girl. And you know with her involvement it won't disappoint.

We're mixing a combination of what I'd call "investment" pieces with items that are more affordable. Here are two that won't break the bank and are so cute! Target for the win!

This Scallop Kids Accent Table is so girly with a sophisticated modern touch. Brass will be making its McBreen houeshold comeback in the baby's room.  I was thrilled when the table arrived. It's more substantial than I thought it would be and will be the perfect side table for the glider I've got coming. Bonus: it comes in pink and gray too.

And for all the story reading I have in my future, I know this Glass Ball Table Lamp will go to good use. It's also small enough to leave plenty of room for other things on the side table. It comes in four other colors (navy, white, pink and lilac) and would also be great for a powder room, entry table or dresser top. I love small little accent lamps and this little guy could brighten up any room.



Keep it up Target. Your décor game is strong.

Product We Love: Stemless Champagne Flutes

In last week's brunch post, a reader noticed my glassware. 

We promised to follow up with the intel on where to get them, and we always make good on reader requests. So here it is....they're from Target! 

If you're like me and have a penchant for entertaining, these glasses are for you! They are great for brunches, lunches or cocktails. For the bargain price of $28.49 (although, I think I used a 15% off coupon) you get a dozen, dishwasher-safe glasses. I've got two dozen and have used them for countless occasions (like this baby shower last summer). 

So, secret's out. Get thee to Target.com. 

Lilly is On Target

It's been a while since I've followed a "designer" release from Target. If you remember, I joined the crowds to shop the Missoni collection, and it felt like an episode of Super Market Sweep, complete with a team of women with walkie talkies (post here).

In case you missed the announcement, on April 19th Target is launching a collection from Lilly Pulitzer. I'm tempted to buy a few things for the mini fashionista. Here are some of my favorite things from the cookbook, for both you and your Mini.

Splurge vs. Save

I have been admiring gold footbed sandals for a while now. They are clearly a hot trend this season, and I can't help but fall for them. That said, I wonder will I be so head over heels next year? 

I really like this pair from Sam Edelman, especially the texture in the gold. SE makes great shoes, and they are usually very comfortable. But, for a trend, I'm not sure I want to spend $100. 

 Sam Edelman Adora $100

Enter Target. Every summer I end up buying a "cheap" pair of trendy sandals from Target and wear them non-stop. 

Mossimo Doris Footbed Sandal $29.95

I bought these Doris sandals earlier this week and am definitely don't feel any need to splurge. They fit well are super comfortable and cute!  I am usually a size 8.5 and bought the 8.

Another score for the Bullseye Boutique!

What I Wore

I bought this Bel Air blouse in Sun Valley at Consign Design over the 4th of July, and I have been dying to wear it ever since. Last night provided the perfect opportunity.  We went to a wine dinner at our favorite restaurant Caffe Mingo. 

I paired it with my Gap 1969 Skinny Jeans and my Target Merona striped wedges (from 2 years ago).  Nothing fancy, but comfortable, and I love navy and white.

I am looking forward to our trip back to Sun Valley over Labor Day weekend to find more treasures at Consign Design. As a side note, when I take photos for these posts I feel really ridiculous. That's all.

Splurge vs. Save

One of these shoes costs $59.95 and the other only $24.99. 

Can you tell the difference? My guess is "no".

The top pair is the Steve Madden Ecentrcq, and the bottom is the Target Mossimo Dedra. They are nearly the same shoe, but the Target slip-on is half the price. Let's be honest...next year this style will be "so last year." So, I'm pretty sure you are better off spending less and putting them to rest after a season.

I was at Target over the weekend and tried on the Mossimo pair. I nearly bought them but decided not to. I'm kind of regretting the decision. If I find myself there again, and they still have my size...they might just come home with me.

I will keep you posted!

Love, Hate Letters

Dear Target, 

Could you stop tempting me with well priced, fashion forward footwear. These Merona Penelope Espadrilles are just too cute to pass up. And for only $20.98, is there any reason not to have them? I know Katie is going to order herself a pair as soon she sees them. As she totally should. 

Target, I don't know if I should love you or hate you.

Yours Truly,

Regan

Currently Coveting

This week has been HOT! In fact, it feels like summer despite the fact that it is still May! No complaints from me though. I have been enjoying wearing my shorts and flip flops. The Mini Fashionista is especially happy about the warm weather because she gets to wear "summer dresses". As I said, no complaints from us.

One of my favorite things about summer is wearing sandals. It seems that every summer I find a cheap pair from Target that I wear with nearly everything. Last summer it was these glitter sandals (similar available here).

Now I am on the hunt for this summer's sandal! Here are a few from Target that I am currently coveting.

How about the same style with a fun flare?

Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Lakitia Sandals

Or any of these would work nicely...

Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Tipper Sandal 

Women's Mossimo® Sorsha Sandal

Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Alani Sandals

It's going to take a trip to Target to find the right ones, and it's only a matter of time before that happens. 

Splurge vs. Save

One of these black jumpsuits costs $498 and the other is only $29.99 

Can you tell which is which?

I am guessing that just by these photos, you can't. I don't think I could. And here's the good news, I am pretty sure that if you were to buy the "Save" option, most people wouldn't know the difference either.

So....which is the "Splurge" and which is the "Save"?

Well, this one costs a pretty penny....

Elie Tahari Madison Silk Jumpsuit $498

And this one...well, it's from Target and by buying it, you will save you a whole lot of pennies! 

Mossimo Women's Rolled Sleeve Jumpsuit $29.99

Products We Love

Did you know that Orla Kiely has a makeup bag collection at Target? The items range in price from $10-$30 and can be purchased in stores and online. 

So if you need a new makeup bag or a great gift for your best girlfriend, Target once again is a fun and affordable place to shop.

P.S. Target doesn't pay for or sponsor these posts, but they should! :)

In"vested" in Winter

I love a good vest (or several, if you inventoried my closet). They're great layering pieces, and they keep your core warm (fashionable and functional!) You might remember this vest that I found on our honeymoon last year at H & M in Hong Kong and wore throughout the fall.

Or this one from our favorite consignment store, Consign Design. 

Getting to my inspiration for this post...I was perusing Target.com and came across the most adorable vests that were too good not to share! And at the bargain price of $34.99 you really can't go wrong!
