Target hits a cosmetics trifecta!

While at Target last night I was really happy to see that they are carrying a new line of makeup from model Jemma Kidd called JK Jemma Kidd. It was hard to miss in it's vibrant , bright pink packaging. There aren't any images on their website as of yet. Prices start at $14 for eyeliner, and go up to $36 for eyeshadow compacts. Kidd has a well established cosmetics line in the UK.

A while back I posted about Sephora marking down all of their Napoleon Perdis makeup for what I correctly assumed was final sale. Well, it seems that their reason for doing so is that Perdis signed a contract to create a line for Target, as well as having some freestanding concept stores.

Last in the lineup will be Pixi products from Petra Strand. This is the one brand that I have yet to try. The prices will range from $12-39. With the advent of cosmetic superstores such as Sephora and Ulta, high end cosmetics have become more accessible, and more and more people are trying products that they previously would have simply read about in magazines. I think that Target is making a smart move by working with companies like this, they build a stronger client base. I know that as of late I have done more shopping there than ever before. I have bought a whole fall wardrobe there, and if I didn't have to go to a separate store for nice cosmetics, I'd be thrilled.

It's All In The Bag

Hello darling! I bought this lil' Botkier for Target clutch for myself on my birthday. At $19.99 it was a deal I couldn't pass up. It has a little phone pouch and a zippered pocket inside too, so I can stay marginally organized.

This baby is the same unbeatable price, but more of an everyday tote. You can't tell from the picture, but it is much larger than the clutch. I could fit two loaves of bread in it, easily. It cinches at the top, but also has a magnetic clasp for extra security. Phone pocket, and a zippered one too, but other than that, it's bottomless, so I'll need to use a make-up bag and try to keep it simple. I love it. It comes in two other patterns as well, but this one was my fave.

Oh, BTW, was totally excited to read over at Richie Design today that Alexander McQueen is in talks with Target. Could he be a possible successor to Mizrahi? How fantabulous would that be?

Alluring top

I was trying to find the top I bought yesterday at target to feature it on the blog, but for some reason it isn't on the target website. Instead I found this one, which is also really cute. Style thy name is Radish, and I am quite taken in by your batik-like print, and alluring colors. I'm a fan of orange, and it looks so dang lovely with that beet shade. It's the perfect little thing for summer, and the hues will transition right on into an early fall, let's hop for a nice Indian summer! I may just have to return to Target once more this week to grab this! ($12.99, 55% cotton, 45% modal)

Bedside solution

Brian noticed these lamps a couple of weekends ago at Target, and I actually really like them. It's pretty cool that you can place a book or two on each shelf. The lamp takes a 150 watt bulb, so there should be plenty of light for reading. I'm looking forward to actually going back and getting them, I think that they will make our room look much more unified, and clean. later on, if we go with a different look (we don't have a bedroom set or anything, just some random furniture), we can put the lamps in say, the living room, or a guest bedroom, and they'll still look cool.

They also come in brown wood, which is what I would choose, black is too "single guy" for my taste.
