Loving: Spring at Target
If I wait until I wear to share these beauties they'll probably be gone. I went into Target last Friday to grab some essentials for the blizzard (magazines, $$ section finds) before heading to the grocery store for snacks. Funny that I went in for a blizzard and walked out with spring wear. Oh well, I have two warm getaways coming up and spring will (hopefully) be here before we know it. I only really do Target clothes shopping in the warmer months - I just never find winter things and love how easy their dresses are. (Fact my family and a certain husband used to make fun of me for target shopping but now they are amazed at what can be found - I don't like everything but when I do it's usually a love).
The bad news is I couldn't find my favorite dress on the website (long sleeve florals) the good news is I found that off the shoulder dress that speaks to my style as well as a couple others that became an impromptu order last night. Truth - I've never ordered Target online and I'm a big "tryer oner" so hopefully I like it when it comes. Maybe the dress just is not online yet? If i see it i'll share.
The black embroidered dress is lightweight and a style that differs from my usual taste - with so much in my closet, I'm looking for some different pieces. These crochet shorts are right up my alley and with the matching top make a cute yet comfortable outfit. In addition to the burgundy I even picked them up in black too because who can say no to shorts without a button??
Now for the things that I immediately thought "need" when searching for the favorite dress from the blizzard shopping. Firstly the blue floral is the most similar AND it's currently on sale with another 20% off making it… just $16. This mint dress combines all my favorite things & just speaks my style and this off the shoulder look is a close second.
Fuller House & TV Talk:
I am counting down until the Fuller House premiere, anyone else?? We passed by the set when we were in California and had I of been thinking I would have tried to go to a taping. Candace Cameron Bure shared this behind the scenes sneak peak this week to mark the one month countdown. Something else I can't wait for, The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story which is getting a lot of buzz right now. I am obsessed with a scandal when it hits, and usually get the book to read about it and am glued to the TV watching reports (OJ, Duke Lacrosse, Scott Peterson, Etc…). Props to Bravo for bringing in the new housewife, Kathryn Edwards AND bringing back Faye right as the mini series is about to premiere.
Stella's One year Mark:
I think it goes without saying that we're obsessed with Stella and it feels like we've had her forever. We've had our girl for one year today! I can actually remember the pickup clearly, Derek was going into work late, we drove about an hour to get her, her car carrier got delayed in a snowstorm so we used a laundry basket, all was well… and then Derek went to work. I was the worst puppy mama and had no clue what to do… I called my parents to come over! After that I got the hang of it and the rest is history - it's hard to think of life before Stella.
Other Happenings:
+ I'm a Bethenny Frankle AND Skinny Girl fan so I can't wait to get my hands on some Skinny Girl candy. Although, I don't think I'm as big of a fan of her red her for the launch.
+ The blizzard might be over but Stella's love of playing with the snow certainly is not. We've been spending a lot of time walking on the white powder and these snow boots have come quite in handy.
+ It's girl scout cookie time and this list of wine pairings is perfect. What is better than wine and cookies???
+ Seeing how many steps I get on my fitbit each day is a huge favorite of mine. You can enter here to win your own plus some other great workout prizes right here. The giveaway ends Monday night at midnight, good luck!
+ After being stuck at home last weekend (which I loved) I'm looking forward to getting out and about this weekend.
Cheers to the weekend! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOkay, those shorts are adorable! I need to go to the next town over to their Super Target to get some for after baby gets here! And yes -- I'm totally counting down to the OJ show. I definitely remember watching that whole chase that summer and the trial that followed…and I think I was about 7? I'm going to give "Fuller House" a shot; I hope it's new and funny for our generation and not corny like it can sometimes be when you go back and watch the reruns. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYAY spring and summer, so exciting! I don't buy too many clothes from target either, but love their dresses, especially the maxis.
ReplyDeleteHappy one year as a puppy mommy!
Wine pairings for girl scout cookies? Amazing!! Love those lace red shorts you have, too!

ReplyDeletei definitely prefer target's warmer clothes, i've never had good luck with cold winter stuff. i am the same as well, i don't like everything but when i do it's normally love! i've been buying lots of spring and summer stuff lately hoping it will help spring hurry up and arrive lol
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Target and I love all your finds! I tend to buy less expensive clothes in the summer time, not sure why really?! Oh, well! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Fuller House either! My sister and I were so obsessed with Full House, that I think that we've seen every episode at least three or four times! That's so awesome that today is the official one year mark that you've had Stella! It's so crazy how fast the time flies, right?
ReplyDeleteAwwww Happy 1 Year to Miss Stella! And I agree that I tend to go crazier over Target's spring and summer lines than their fall and winter. Those dresses you found are too pretty,really making me long for spring! Happy Friday gurlie <3

ReplyDeleteOh girl, I already have my planner marked for Fuller House! SO EXCITED!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to sweet Stella! I remember when we got Maui, our puppy, and I remember thinking how I had NO clue what to do with her. Haha. You catch on quick, though, and then you wonder what you've ever done without them!
Have a great weekend! Enjoy getting out of the house! XO
Love those floral dresses/shirts from Target - I might need to stay away for a bit when spring gets here ;) Happy 1 year of getting Stella!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Stella is so cute!! And how did I not know Skinny Girl was coming out with candy..I'll definitely have to check it out, but I agree with you- not loving her red hair, lol! Happy Friday! xo, S

I am so ready for warmer weather and spring clothes - that dress with the sleeves is totally you! I love pics of puppy Stella!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the dresses!! I need to go heck them out. Who doesn't love a dress that screams spring? I am so pumped for fuller house, but we don't have Netflix. Whomp whomp. :( have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love those Target picks and Stella is so cute! Jess at Just Jess
ReplyDeleteLove all those Target finds, especially the burgundy shorts. So so so annoyed there isn't a Target in the U.K! When will it get on board with the Target trend? When I come to the U.S I bring a spare suitcase just for Target finds lmfao.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for Fuller House!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Target stuff.
I love me some shorts with an elastic waistband! The third picture of Stella on the top looks just like our Millie when we picked her up! Our anniversary with her is coming up--3 years on February 18th! It was about a 3 hour drive to get there, and she threw up on me twice on the way home...but I could never be mad at her little face!
ReplyDeleteI had not heard about Skinny Girl Candy!! I am so excited! This post made me so excited for spring clothes, too! I have a Target gift card from Christmas I may have to cash in this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are so cute! I can't wait for Fuller House!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Fuller House. The nostalgia of it all is going to be so much fun. I really hope the show is successful!
ReplyDeleteLoving your loves! The original skinny girl margarita will always be my fave of her products, I think! Glad you are loving the Fitbit- I still can't make up my mind between one of those or the Apple Watch??
ReplyDeleteI need to find me a Girl Scout... because the few cookies that my mom surprised me with... are already gone. #NoShameinmyCookieGame My FitBit went on the fritz this week, but I think I got it back up to speed... it definitely freaked me out though - I count on it a lot, lol!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm literally dying that someone else is as obsessed with scandals as me - I was OBSESSED with the Scott Peterson stuff. I read all the books, and I still am pretty much fascinated with it until this day. Ha! So, it goes without saying that I'm also looking forward to American Crime, and hooray for Fuller House! Full House is my all-time favorite show, so I hope the reboot does it justice.
