Summer Lovin’ at Target

Summer is upon us believe it or not it’s pretty much summer here where I am. Target has some amazing items coming in for the season.
I just got back from a trip to Panama in Central America for 5 weeks and that was the last time I nipped into Target to pick up a few clothing items for my trip. Been back almost two weeks and the variety of summer accessories, dresses, shorts, swimming costumes and now the new shoe line from Sam & Libby on (Racked.com) has gotten me excited about summer.

I was looking for a new water bottle and opted for the Bobble bottle, but how funny is ‘The Anti Bottle’ by Vapur. The stock in patterned styles were almost sold out and this one caught my eye. They also had alot of solid colours in Green, Blue etc. Check them out here at Vapur

I upgraded to the iphone5 this week and did pick up a case at Tmobile by Speck which is below. Target has a great selection of iPhone cases as seen below. All were from $24.99 to $34.99. They also stock cases by Xhiliration which range from $12.

My Speck case below:

These clutch bags remind me of the Balenciaga motorcycle style clutch- with the little stud detail and tassle.

Huge shopper bags – amazing! the Tropical print one is stunning! I’m definately going to pick that up at some point, they also had one in black and cream but another pattern.
The rattan bag below is massive and they had three styles. Would be great for the beach or using at the farmer’s market I imagine the one in Union Square, NY!

Now onto a few clothing items I spotted, there were so many pretty skirts & dresses in tribal, floral, stripes, polka dots that you can slip on with a denim vest/ jacket in the day or for evening a leather jacket and your done and out the door!

I shall be snapping away on my next trip to Target. I’d make sure to check the sale racks as I picked up a few items I had seen a month ago which had 50% off.

Spring Summer 2013 Inspiration and Advertising video’s

A collection of video advertising campaigns for Spring/ Summer 2013, love the music and visual elements. Makes me excited for Spring and Summer clothing! Music to fashion, fashion to music I’m happy. The ASOS,  Missguided, Target and Topshop ad’s are my top ones out of the bunch, fun and fresh. And the Hermes advert is such a simple, yet classic idea! Reminds me of old children’s cartoon’s.

Target -SpringTrend Finds

Today I nipped into Target and we decided to have a browse at the clothing, since last week when they seemed to be changing over their ranges for Spring/ Summer… they have gotten in some great items! I actually am seeing trends that I see on ASOS  for example the polka dot and printed denim, Camo pants/ jackets, sweaters with prints, neon, bralets, matching tops and bottoms in same print, lots of oversized sweatshirts, digitial print florals,.

Few photo’s of things I picked out and liked, ended up not buying anything as I’m on a spending ‘ban’ of clothes, even though I have my eye on some key items!

Bralet top which had a matching short pleated skirt – Merona

Camo stretch jeans/ pants- seen these a couple of times, but they feel nice to touch and have a ‘flip side’ reversible so are green and camo, two outfits in one pair.

IMAG5154

Studded collar sheer blouse- these have been done by Topshop, Asos, Miss Selfridge, Primak in the UK- you name the store and they have been done over there.. finally they have some in Target, this was $22.99 and also came in a bright blue. The fabric wasn’t too brilliant though.

IMAG5156

Camo Jacket- $34.99- a item I really want to get though the trend is only surfacing here in the States in mainstream shops.

I already have had a couple camo print coats over the past few years, but want one  similar to this, it’s a good weight for spring and seems sturdy enough, but still on the search. I’m not to fond of the drawstring waist.

Neon cropped jacket- Mossimo

Coral bag- very cute, think this was Merona- nice size and has a strap, was more coral in person.

IMAG5164

Merona- Ostritch texture bags, loved all of these, esp the navy with brown trim, look like brilliant quality. Prices ranged from 15.99- 24.99  The wallets were really nice also. 

IMAG5165

American flag backpack, so cute! $29.99. I just got a camo version for $8.98 a few weeks back, so would either wait to see if these go on sale. They also had some aztec, leopard print versions too.

IMAG5166

Lastly I saw these patterned/ fluffy dog bed covers were on sale for $8.48 and they had two prints on sale, were $18.99.

Designer of our time- Alexander Mcqueen

This show makes me feel odd, mainly the heads bound up with medical bandages, clam shells, Erin Oconnor, tailoring, grass bodices and bird headpieces and the shell dress at the finale with which actually cut the model during the show… but I bloody love it and him. Models enclosed in a glass case with glass that only the audience could see into and a fat lady on a chaise at the end…

Amazing designer like nothing i’ve ever seen.
