Missoni for Target

At this point it's probably old news... no, it is old news. Missoni (an Italian fashion designer known for their funky knits/prints) collaborated with Target to create a line that's affordable to likes of you and I who are not Rachel Zoe.

The line featured everything from clothing to bicycles and on it's debut day sold of of Target stores and their online site in mere hours.  By some miracle I was able to snag some items online during moments where the Target website let me through.

I snagged the below sweater which just arrived at my house last night along with an XS bikini bottom, S bikini top and a silk scarf. I am still missing the other sizes in the bikini since I ordered each piece in two sizes and a silk scarf.
The sweater is pretty lightweight since up close it's a crochet kind of knit. It's absolutely my style being that it's black. The only thing that I find off is the sleeves seem a tad on the long side but nothing I cannot live with. I mean seriously it's MISSONI that I could not otherwise afford without thinking I'd miss the month's mortgage payment.

This scarf I am still waiting for...
 
This one I have and love, it's looks way more vibrant in person than in the picture.

Oh ... hello there...

Wow, this has been the longest I have gone between blog posts! I have no idea where the time has gone, well maybe I do.

I've been quite busy with...
  • Work - yup, it's still kicking my ass
  • Being a first time Matron of Honor to my sis-in-law (which comes with many responsibilities)
  • Friends having babies
  • Work - that again
We've already closed the pool for the year (so sad) and I am gearing up for fall and winter albeit unwillingly.

I threw my sis-in-law's bridal shower back in August (almost a whole month ago!) and here's a few snaps of my crafting...

A favorite treat of hers, Special K bars, cut into heart shapes for favors


Striped paper straws with flags and cute wedding sayings


Body wash and poofs as favors... get it? because it's a bridal shower...
