Target Tuesday: Harajuku Mini by Gwen Stefani

Target Tuesday was less than stellar this morning when I woke up and realized that I left my camera in my house that I am renovating! Darn! No worries! I've been meaning to post the cutest line of kids clothes at Target since hearing about the Gwen Stefani's kids line a few months ago.

Well it's here! Harajuku Mini by Gwen Stefani is actually a spin off of her L.A.M.B. line that she currently has that is balled up into a cute mini fashionista. There are all sorts of cool and eccentric looks for toddlers and tweens. My 8-yr old neice would go crazy! It finally launched earlier this month along with the cutest commercial. I love the mohawks and cool hair on the little kid models. I would so dress my child in this if I had one. Check out the look book and video below!

Who else is buying this stuff for their little ones?? I might go to Target and try to see if I can fit one of these little outfits myself! Yes you heard me [^-^]

Target Tuesdays (belated): Missoni for Target

"There's Black Friday, then there's Target Tuesday."                             The Associated Press' Retail writer Anne D'Innocenzio

Well heck yea Anne join the club and become my blog reader to follow Target Tuesdays!! The opening line to Anne's article, Designer's line creates Black Friday-like buzz, made me chuckle as if Target Tuesdays was a new phenomenon. Well maybe for her (and the rest of the world that doesn't read my blog) it is. oops!

Anyhoo...Happy belated Target Tuesday! Yes it's clearly two days after Missoni's launch, but I actually went to the store on Tuesday after work to see what left overs were thrown to the wolves and left for dead and clearly the most random items were indeed left behind to create a smorgasbord of Missoni items. I was extremely tempted to create a beautiful display of the left over Missoni items that survived the wreckage. 

Approaching the empty fixtures wasn't as much as a shock as I thought it was given the collapse of Target's website from the increased traffic and the shut down of their pop-up store just 6 hrs into their grand opening. Finally, face to face with lopsided hangers that clung to the last patterned shirt with no bottoms I thought Ugh how am I suppose to do a Target Tuesdays post on my blog without ONE piece of Missoni? So I did what any fashionista would do-I shrugged my shoulders and went to the accessories section thinking ehh maybe next time when another shipment goes into production. But my stylist senses kicked in and I immediately went to the lingerie department to find any remaining pieces and that is when I saw this beautiful baby doll top and yelled this will work! 


Magically everything fell into place as I carefully hand plucked my outfit for my belated Target Tuesday post. I will always love doing these posts every week because it helps me rise to the challenge of finding great styles for incredible prices while putting my own spin on it. [check out how it all got stated here]


Mixing Missoni and Mossimo was the perfect solution to my Target Tuesdays challenge. When I realized that everyone in my city would be wearing the same sweater and pull overs that were featured in the ready to wear section, I knew that this snug baby doll dress would inspire the entire ensemble into a casual but playful look. Pairing my brushed gold accessories [from the accessory department that I wandered into earlier] with the walnut brown hiking boots allows me to turn this lingerie top into the focal piece for a cohesive look. Plus I absolutely love the fit of the "bra" ahem..top. [^_^]

Target Tuesday: The Missoni Countdown to Retail

So ever since Target released the news of Missoni for Target, people have been anticipating the arrival of the high end line into an affordable retail store available for all shapes and wallet sizes. Even though the line isn't slated to be released until September 13th, Manhattan dwellers can get first dibs on the line on Sept 8th at the Target pop-up store on Fashion Night Out at 6pm at 1095 Sixth Avenue near Bryan Park. The family, Angela Missoni and Margherita Maccapani Missoni will be posing for mini-photoshoots with the first 20 guests that spend more than $100.

Once again why wasn't Fashion Night Out created while I was at FIT?? oy! I thought I was going to be in the city for fashion week but I'll have to wait until next year. (boooo) If you haven't already, catch a sneak peek of the Missoni apparel line for men, women, baby, home furnishings, and beauty products here or check out this video:
