Target Tuesdays!

I know it's been waaaay too long since my last post - I am really going to try and make a conscious effort to blog more often, now that my schedule is a little less hectic!

On a recent trip to Target I grabbed this super-soft sweater:

I threw it on today for school and it's perfect! I like thin sweaters because my schools are usually pretty warm and that way I can throw on another layer if I get cold. These are on sale for $9.99 thru Sunday (usually $17.99) I am definitely going to order some more online so I can get the colors/size I need. I just gotta make sure I don't shrink these because they are the perfect fit!

Some other colors I'm debating:

 Cream/Ebony

 Heather Blue

Heather Orange

I also snagged another pair of the Ona flats (I have them in black and tan patent)

These are a really pretty purple and I can't wait to wear them on Thanksgiving!

This dress caught my eye and I just had to have it:

Especially since it could be worn in the spring/summer, too with some fun sandals!

I wore it yesterday with grey patterned tights and my black Ona flats (like the ones above)

Target Tuesdays!

Yay it's Tuesday!!!!!

I actually have not to been to Target in many weeks (I think this is a record for me!) but I hoping to go tonight to grab some groceries and take a peek at some fall/cold weather clothes. Today I'm rocking some of my favorite Target pieces:

I bought this cardigan months ago, but I'm wearing it today, paired with a grey jersey dress, black leggings and these black flats:

I also have these flats in tan, and while it took a couple of wears to break them in, they are definitely going to be my favorite fall shoe!

Speaking of fall footwear, I ordered these boots a few weeks ago on Target.com because of the many rave reviews. However, being 5'8", they only came up to my mid-calf and they just didn't look right. I was so upset, because I loved the style/color:

So I'll be returning this and starting my search again for the perfect brown boot!

Or, perhaps I'll use my refund to buy:

or:

(which I posted about here!)

I have to say, fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons...don't get me wrong - I love me a good sundress and flip flops, but there's just something about the autumn air, changing leaves and cute fall clothes that get me really excited!!

Target Tuesdays!

Now that the school year has finally started my blog has unfortunately taken a back seat :( But this is my favorite blog hop, so I had to link up this week!!

Got this Merona dress last night - as soon as I tried it on I was in love! Great material, perfect length for a tall gal like me and something you can easily wear from late summer into fall!

Here are some things I'm eyeing on the Target website:

Target Tuesdays!

Yay it's Tuesday again!! Linking up at Tara's blog for one of my favorite blog hops of the week. 

Here are some recent purchases I made at Target for my kitchen

Comfort Kitchen Mat (link)

Perfect color for our kitchen, super comfy for standing at the sink, and easy to clean!

Nested canisters (mine are white but I couldn't find a picture online! link)

These were on clearance for $10!! I use the 2 bigger ones for flour/sugar and the little one for dog treats! They look great on my counter next to my white Kitchen Aid mixer!

Target Home Tablecloth in Brown (link)

I have this table cloth in the natural color and a pretty turquoise too.

They are very durable and machine washable!

Small White Wicker Basket (link)

These were on clearance for under $7 each, so I took all 3 that were sitting on the shelf! I love any and all kind of baskets and I think I can find a cute place for these somewhere in the kitchen or maybe the living room or bathroom - the possibilities are endless!!

Oh, Target - how I love you!!!

Target Tuesdays!

Linking up again at Tara's blog for one of my favorite blog hops!

First off, I have been such a bad blogger! Between our new puppy, getting together with friends and the lazy-ness of summer vacation, I have been slacking off - so I apologize!!

Here are some of my latest finds at Target:

Ona flats in Taupe - super comfy! Thank you Target for finally making a decent flat! I'm hoping to snag a pair in black too while they're on sale for $12!! They also come in red and a navy/purple color. 

Mossimo Pocket Tee (Juniors) - I have an unhealthy obsession with these $8 tees (on sale now for only $5!) I think I have them in just about every color under the sun. And I love how every few months Target will come out with new shades. They have some fun "fall-ish" looking colors out right now. The one I'm wearing today reminds me of the color of raspberry sorbet (couldn't find a picture online tho - boo!)

Obviously this is something you could get at any book store, but I love the fact that Target's price is 20% off the list price!! I'm almost halfway thru this and loving it!

Gotta love the Clearance section at Target! Can't wait to wear this cute little skirt! I love all the color options I have with it for tops/shoes/accessories too! (Could probably pair it with the flats I mentioned above - score!!)

And just cause I'm a proud Mama, here's a recent picture of Mars:

His ears are finally both up!!

Target Tuesdays!

One of my favorite blog hops!

Here are some of my latest Target finds:

Got these great beige/black striped cushions for my "new" patio set (blogged about it here)

Here's another picture of them on the chairs (taken at night with my iPhone so I apologize for the quality)

They show them online as 2 for $27 but I bought mine for $14.99 each in the store. They are very comfy and the perfect size for my chairs! Easy to clean (water rolls right off) and supposedly they are fade resistant too!

Got this pitcher on clearance for $3.24, marked down from $12.99! I used it this past weekend for some tasty sangria - perfect size!

On an unrelated note (but kind of related, because these are also a summer item!), I got these funky wedges for under $18 on a recent Target trip. I had been spying them for months (I think they showed up in stores at the end of March?) but wanted to wait til they went on sale. They are the perfect height for me (I'm 5'8" and I don't always like to wear super super high heels) and extremely comfortable!

Ok, that's all for now! Link up at Tara's blog if you want to join in

Target Tuesdays!

Haven't done this blog hop in awhile but I have lots to share today for this Target Tuesday!

Now that the warm weather is here and I'm planning to do a lot of running/races during my vacation, I decided it was time to stock up on shorts/tanks/etc. Thankfully, Target has a pretty decent "activewear" section in their stores and I've found quite a few "staples" for my running wardrobe:

I have these shorts in black and a darker purple than the color above. I love them because they have a littler inner pocket where I can put my key or my iPod shuffle, and they also have built-in underwear! I know that might sound strange, but let me tell you, it's the best thing ever! Sweaty underwear = gross!!

Just bought this same tank (same color) and I can't wait to wear it! It's super comfy and I like that it doesn't have big bulky straps either!

Speaking of thin straps - my favorite sports bras are from Target too. Again, these are extremely comfortable and also come in a wide variety of colors (if you're anal like me and like to color coordinate your outfits!!)

I can't find a picture of these online, but I just bought some socks at Target that are both functional and fashionable! Over the weekend I ran a 5K with a friend, and she let me borrow a pair of her socks so I could add more purple to my outfit (the 5K was a fundraiser for a woman who passed away and her favorite color was purple). After wearing these socks, I was hooked!

They are made by the Gold Toe company, and come in a variety of colors. They sell them in 3 packs in they're about $7. Made to wick away moisture and keep your feet nice and comfy - score! I bought them in white, turquoise, lime green, fuchsia and purple! 

(I decided to just take a crappy iPhone pic of them - you get the idea!)

I'm planning to supplement my running with exercise videos/hand weights. I got these the other day at Target and used them last night with this DVD:

This DVD has 3 sections - a yoga part, strength training, and a booty blast. You can do all 3 or just choose which ones you feel like doing that day. I've never watched RHofNY but Bethenny's pretty funny! I'm also a big fan of her Skinnygirl margaritas!!

I also snagged a jump rope (for $5!) because I've heard it's a great cardio workout - tried a bit last night - was exhausted after 2 mins of jumping!

Yay Target!!!

Target Tuesday

Haven't done this link up in awhile but I did just recently get some good buys at Tar-jay!

Originally $40, snagged it for $10 from the clearance rack!

Mochachino - a fun sparkly taupe

And a few things I'm going to look for the next time I'm there:

Dora Refined Denim Dress - Chesterfield Navy

I actually bought this last year for a wedding and then returned it because I found a dress I liked better. I'm glad it's back because I think it's a great "staple" to have

And I could pair it with these:

Mossimo Wakana Strappy Wedge Sandals
