i came a little late to the missoni for target party. 

i heard the hype, i saw masses of people carrying the free promotional bags they gave away, but somehow only set foot into target for nail polish and milk. 

today, i explored and man oh man, did i miss out. now, they are sold out of nearly everything. i even tried to stuff my foot into a child size ballet flat. (not happening).

i did score two throw pillows. i walked passed them a few times and resisted the urge to make them mine. just as i was feeling proud of myself for being strong, another woman came buy and began to examine them. my heart sank. the second she set them down, i nearly ran to the display and grabbed them.
self control: zero. giddiness: one.


i couldn't find a photo of the actual one i bought, but it's identical to this, with brighter colored stitching. divine.

also, on my wishlist, but apparently on half of america's too, this blanket. (sold out everywhere, except online sites where it has quadrupled in price.)

so sweet and comfy. i must admit i wasn't gaga about the entire line. i'm a plain jane who adores white, solid fabrics and simple, but these missoni must haves are such statement pieces. i love their retro flare and their stand out design.

well done, target, but then again, what's new.

  1. I'm not the biggest fan of Missoni. However, some of their stuff is cute. I really like those ballet flats. Also, you should sell your pillows for 3x the price and buy 4 instead of 2. Whaddya say? :)

  2. You are such a natural negotiatior, always thinking Chang. Let's travel the Targets of the world in search of a kids' size 5 ballet flat?
