Targeting: Target Style

I'm not that trendy, I don't pretend to be. I gave up on that a long time ago. If I happen to like something trendy, well, lucky me. I'm into simple, casual; I like bows, ruffles and stripes. I straight-up have an addiction issue to cardigans (The hubby once told me I sometimes dress like a teacher. Whatever, I will own that.) 

But you know what I love? Yeah, you do... You know. I love Target. I actually don't buy many clothes at Target (I prefer to saunter in and around the home decor section) but, well, I just might start.

Meet Target Style.

It's a blog that features monthly stylists and themes who put together looks from the current or upcoming Target lines. The current guest editor is June Ambrose, the last one was Brad Goreski, whom I love!

I love the style on the right so much, I had to run out and buy the dress. And at $24.99, well, I can't complain.

Of course, you can follow Target Style on Tumblr, Twitter or Facebook. Me? I think I do all three.

Happy Targeting!

Target-ing

I had Monday off for President's Day. These are dangerous holidays for me. What makes them so dangerous? First, the hubby doesn't have the day off, all stores are open and I have nothing to do. So what do I do? I spend money. Thank goodness I go to work every day, I'm not sure I could afford myself.

So, an innocent trip to Target (don't they all start out that way?) for new running leggings and a couple of gift cards suddenly went a little out of control. Why? Target has really upped their game this spring. Check out a few of my finds (Editor's note to my husband: I didn't actually *buy* these, but let's just say some of these are on my "want list.")
 

How fantastic is this side table? It's called the Hexagonal Accent Table - it would work great as a side table or even a small nightstand. Love the door that opens in case you'd like to display anything and I love the $79 price tag!

I was walking down a main aisle and total did a rubber-necking double-take when I spotted this yellow lamp. Then, I spotted the matching lamp shade and had to go give it a hug take a closer look. Of course, I automatically pictured it in my guest bedroom (I'm actually working on the nightstand for that room, so it's really good timing!) It's a little larger than I had pictured and while $60 isn't too bad, I'm trying to focus on finishing up our master bedroom re-do, so I gave it a kiss and said goodbye.

Another option

And finally, I spotted this adorable, red, greek key-esque picture frame on a clearance end cap that immediately made me think of my pal, Emily. Emily, if you're reading this - you totally need this frame (I saw it on clearance for $7!)

And this was only the home decor stuff - they have some adorable spring dresses and bathing suit cover-ups right now.

Uh. Love Target. Love it. I also feel that my hubby is very fortunate that he has a wife that lusts after $79 side tables and Target dresses. It could be worse. :-)
