Target Thursday #6....

Sorry for my lack of posting people. Life has been busy and I've had a lot going on that I didn't have any time or energy to dedicate to my blog, but I do appreciate everyone that visits my blog and reads my posts!

Ok on to the fun stuff!! Check out my Target outfit below...

Dress - Merona Clearance $19.59 was $27.99

Sweater - Merona old - raided from my closet

Belt - Xhileration old - raided from my closet

Shoes - Xhileration old - raided from my closet

Total Look - $19.59

This outfit was inspired by a Mad Men mixed track from 8tracks.com - "Hanging out with Megan Draper" mixed by nothingisreal. "Zoo be zoo be zoo..".....I can't get that out of my head!

Say Yes To The Dress At Target - Tevolio Bridal Collection

Target recently announced their new bridal line called Tevolio which is inspired by the Italian phrase "Ti voglio", which loosely translates to "I love you". Their dresses range from $69.99 to $129.99.

When I got married I was 4 months pregnant (yes I am a sinner) and I bought my dress online from Fashion Bug for $69. I don't think they have a bridal section anymore and at that time that was a bargain, but it was so hard to find something because I was very limited  - 1) I was preggers and 2) I was on a major tight budget. If Target had their bridal collection back then, they would have been the first place I would have checked out.  You can check out the full collection on Target.com 



Have a great night! xoxo



Target Thursday on a Friday Night...

Life has been so busy this week! So I apologize to those out there who enjoy my Target updates every Thursday. I have some exciting news to share from Target as well as featuring a Target outfit from this week.

First,  my Target outfit. I wore this to the office and I got so many compliments! This dress is super comfortable. It's sleeveless, so it was great to wear with a blazer or little black sweater. I had an important meeting this day so I wore a blazer to look official and smart :-)



Dress - Mossimo Clearance $19.58 was $27.99
Black Blazer - Macy's old raided from my closet
Shoes - Mossimo old raided from my closet
Necklace - H&M old raided from my closet

Total Look: $19.58

Sam & Libby - Target's Soulmates...

This might be old news to some but on May 5th Target debut their newest designer shoe collaboration with Sam and Libby Edelman aka Sam and Libby. I have not been to Target lately to check them out (SHOCKER! See, this is how busy I've been), but I plan on going there tonight to get a Mother's Day card so this will be my excuse to check them out.

I've read some mixed reviews on the quality of the materials used on the shoes, but I think they look cute. And like I said I haven't been to Target yet to check them out in person so I may have another opinion later, but that won't keep me from buyin Honey! Check out the full collection here.

Phillip Lim for Target...

Next on the designer horizon is Target's collaboration with Phillip Lim. If you're not familiar with ole' Phil he has designed for celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Kate Hudson, His first runway show debuted in 2007 and Target has been courting him for 5 years! Can't wait to see what he does for Target.



Hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all you mothas!

Target Thursday #4...

Hey Kids! Ready for Target Thursday! Here we go...

I couldn't wait to wear this week's Target Thursday outfit! Don't tell my husband but I bought this dress a week ago when I had to make a Target run to buy some "laundry soap" (yeah right!) and I happened to do a "drive by" through the clearance racks. When I found this dress it was as if it was calling my name, "Eileen! Buy me! Buy Me"! So I had to do what I was supposed to do. Honey if you're reading this...surprise!

• Dress - Mossimo Clearance $17.48 was $24.99
• Necklace - Target Jewelry Clearance $11.88 was $16.99
• Black Bracelet - Target Jewelry old - raided from my jewelry box
• Patent Leather Pumps - Mossimo old - raided from my closet

Total Look $29.36

Earth Day Bag Update...

Here is the 2013 Target reusable shopping bag. It's not very glamorous looking but it is for a good cause. If you can read the tag those were the samples that were included in the bag.

Did you know...

•  A plastic bag can take anywhere from 15 to 1000 years to decompose.
• Only 1% of plastic bags are recycled, the rest are left in landfills to live forever.
• Plastic bags make up over 10% of washed up debris polluting U.S. coastline.

Make sure to use your reusable bags every week not just for Earth week.  - That my friends is my Earth Week PSA.

Remember that Target Ombre Dress...

Remember I posted about the Massimo Hi Low Ombre dress in last weeks Target Thursday #3?  On TargetStyle they feature a model wearing the dress in blue. They paired it with a green skinny belt. This is going on my watch list...

I admit, in my head I look like the model above....yeah I'm going to keep thinking that way.

Have a great day! xoxo

Earth Day Bag Giveaway...

I wanted to share a post from Target Addict that on Sunday April 21st, Target will be handing out reusable bags for Earth Day (Monday April 22). Target plans to giveaway about 1.5 million bags and stock about 250,000 with free samples.  Below is a pic of last years bag giveaway...

Pretty cool huh! Not sure what the 2013 bag will look like but I've already marked my calendar to snag one of these babies!

Ombre...

I'm loving the ombre trend. Last year I did the ombre hair color to my hair, but not only do you see ombre in hair color but in fashion as well. Below I'm featuring a Splurge vs. Target Steal in ombre dresses...

Target Thursday #2!

Today I don't have a picture of an outfit to share but I do want to share some cool finds from Target this week.

Check out these super cute Mossimo"Folk" Flat sandals for only $19.99! These would look super cute with a maxi dress or long skirt.

I came across these Steve Madden "Hamil" sandal for $49.95 and they look almost the same as the Mossimo sandals...

I love you Steve Madden but my pocket book loves Target more!

I also noticed that Target filled up their $1 Bins with new stuff! As soon as I walk into Target I always make a beeline to the $1 bins. Never fails! Check out the super cute stuff for summer...

Check out the meat coasters on the far left hand corner. That would be cool if you stocked up for Halloween and stuck those all over you and dressed up as Lady Gaga in her meat dress. Ha! I just gave myself an idea!!

Super cute little tea light tin pales and colored paper lanterns! Tea light pales were $1 and the paper lanterns were $3.

After spending about 30 min in the dollar section this was what I ended up in my cart...


1. Colorful Cardboard Magazine Holders $1 - Great to put in my kids' bookcase to hold coloring books and my son's gaming magazines.
2. Orange Fish Soap Dish $3 - The main bathroom in my house is kind of nautical / beachy / kid friendly and this would be cute to hold the soap in that bathroom. If you come to my house now I have Big Bird liquid soap.
3. Beverage Container $3 - I've seen so many posts about Sun Tea! This would be a great container to make sun tea this weekend! Can't wait!
4. Grower Tins $3 - These are pretty good size tins with seeds already inside. The red tins were either tomatoes or strawberries, the green tins had cilantro and the yellow tins had either sunflowers or daisies. I got the strawberry tin and the sunflower tin. I thought these would be a neat project to do with my kids and the colored tins just make them even cuter.
5. Water Blasters $1 - My kids are going to love these! I'm keeping them in the garage then will pull them out when it's really hot. My son is primarily the one who likes "guns", but my daughter has to get in on it too.
6. Music Note Note cards $1 - Has there ever been a time you just wanted to just leave a nice note for someone in the office or send a note to a special person in your life letting them know that you're thinking of them. I couldn't pass these up! For $1...how cute!! And I love the gold treble clef on the turquoise background.
7. Glass Terrarium $3 - This is also a project I'm going to do with my kids. I've seen these cute terrariums with small plants and moss with little plastic animal figures and army men inside. And for $3! Hello!
8. Colorful Ceramic Planters $1 - For $1...come on! I don't have anything yet to plant in here but I'm sure I can find something.
9. Barbecue Party Napkins $1 - Cute cocktail napkins are good to have around for impromptu gatherings and with summer around the corner these would be awesome! In fact I'm thinking of having a barbecue for my husband's birthday and these would be perfect.

I'm very happy with my purchases! Yippee!!! :-)

Target Thursday #1...

If you really know me, you know that I love Target. Actually I think I'm obsessed with Target. I'm always telling my husband, "I'm running to Target real fast"! But then end up staying there for about 2 hours then lying to him when he calls my cell phone, telling him, "I'm in the check out" when I'm actually looking at shoes.

My biggest pleasure about going to Target is the clearance sections. I love love love clearence! Really I love clearence at any store. In order for me to buy regular price it has to be something I absolutely must have. My kids on the other hand, I do buy regular price, but I always look in the clearance section first.

I've decided to share some of my fashion finds from Target clearance. Some women get a buzz from couponing, I get a buzz from finding awesome clearence pieces! Then double buzz when I get compliments and shock people when I say "$8 bucks at Target"! It puts a smile on my face all day!
