FEED USA + Target

As a huge fan of Target I was so thrilled to read about Target's latest collaboration. No it's not with a fashion designer but with FEED USA. With every purchase of the line, a certain number of meals will be provided to children and families in America. Hot damn, where's my shopping cart? It's time to get some new clothes and home decor pieces and do my part in helping in feeding my fellow Americans!

What I like about this collection is the Americana rustic urban feel. I'm talking chambray tops, basic soft tees, rope bracelets, charm necklaces, baseball caps, plaid and polka dots, cute baby onsies, and of course lots of pieces in red, white, and blue.

The collection also has lots of home pieces which I adore! We're seeing throw pillows, candles, pencil holders, plates, water bottles, cookie cutters, bake wear (love the navy and white polka dot one!), children's bike, coasters, iPhone cases, tote bags, dish towels, and so much more!

Red, White, Blue and Rain

Sorry I haven't been around this past month or so. I've been busy with starting my wedding plans (Yup! We finally set a date!), having John's family visit, and lots of little things that got in the way. But I'm back and refreshed! The break away has allowed me to come back recharge and gain back the creativity I was losing.

In honor of 4th of July, here's what I wore today. The red rain boots and little red umbrella combo is my favorite to wear in the rain, the pop of color makes me instantly happy and stand out from the crowd of navys and blacks.

I just got the cute dress a few days ago at Target, on sale too! I had been eyeing it for some time, I love the white open dots and the style but I wasn't about to pay almost $30 for it, I'm on a budget baby. I waited it out and with a coupon, I got that dress and another for half off! Target is having lots of good clearance racks on women's clothing and home decor so check them out for great discounts. 

 What's your favorite rain accessories?

Firmoo Review

A couple months ago I was contacted by the largest online eyeglass store, Firmoo, to write an unbiased opinion post on their fabulous glasses and sunglasses. With my operation recovery, it was impossible to take photos (major swelling) and write a thorough review until now. I was able to chose my own free pair, with my prescription included, and in doing so I can share with my readers about the latest First Pair Free program!! It was hard choosing which pair I wanted because I don't like shopping online. I'm old school. I like trying things on and think shopping should be physical but Firmoo's Virtual Try-On System was a huge help. On the left side on the site, there's an app where you can upload your OWN picture and try on lens that way or choose from a wide range of models and have the models 'try on' the glasses for you.

Majority of the glasses and sunglasses are very classic, chic in style, great for men and women, and the color/pattern choices are wide enough for my taste! Each description of the pairs include measurements of the lens which is very helpful for those afraid picking up a pair that's too big or small for their face. I ended up picking a pair that was too big for my face. If you're unsure, as silly as this is sounds, measure your face and then compare the numbers to the len's. 

Now onto the good stuff! Free stuff!! The First Pair Free program allows you to choose your first pair for FREE, only paying for shipping. If you don't like the lens or it doesn't fit right on you, send them right back for a refund/exchange.

I also have a FREE SHIPPING Code for you! For U.S. Shipping on orders $39 or more, use code: FREESHIP
For all other countries with orders $55 or more, use code: FREEEXSHIP

My pair is #SD2266 in Tortoise. They're a little too big for me but it's great to have a backup pair.

Phillip Lim X Target

More Target news? Well, I can't help that and in fact I think you'll want to read about this new designer collaboration. Starting September 15th, an exclusive and limited edition 3.1 Phillip Lim line for Target, including designs for both women and men, will be available.

3.1 Phillip Lim can be described as Easy to wear, cutting-edge and young at heart—3.1 Phillip Lim embodies the cool-girl aesthetic. Launched in 2005 to instant acclaim, the brand updates classic
silhouettes with daring, trend-right twists. Sounds perfect for Target's younger customer base who are already in love with the previous collaborations and are into high-low fashion. 

On Target's press webpage New York based designer Lim says: “Since an early age, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of design evolution. One of the reasons I wanted to collaborate with Target is because I felt that together we could create a collection that would inspire – one that is cool and chic, but still very accessible.”

The line will include more than 100 items with a price range of $20 to $300. One of the more higher priced pieces his is signature leather jacket which will range from $250-$300 (a major steal compared to his 3.1 leather jacket of $1,850!). Majority of the items will be available at just under $50. Phillip Lim's designer tops can go for over $700 and his dresses range from $450-$800 so I suggest getting in line EARLY if you want a piece or two from the collection. What I really like about this collection is that it includes menswear which is rare for designer collaborations with Target.

Don't forget Mother's Day is THIS Sunday (May 12th)

Sam & Libby X Target

I was in Target, for like my third time this week, and I came across this glorious new shoe rack of stunning shoes. I literally stopped in my tracks and ran over to these Sam & Libby beauties and began drooling. Why didn't Target do a larger announcement of this partnership?! I didn't even this is was going on. Now who are Sam and Libby? In an interview with Forbes, we find out,

"Fashion veterans Sam and Libby Edelman have been in the business of footwear since they began working together on Esprit footwear the 1980s. Their first eponymous company Sam & Libby launched in 1987, eventually generating $88 million sales in just four years. The Edelmans sold the brand to Maxwell Shoe Company in 1996 and stepped away from the industry to focus on family. The hiatus was short-lived.

In 2004, Sam Edelman launched another eponymous brand. “I decided I wanted to start a footwear company that filled a void in the contemporary market,” he tells FORBES. The Edelmans report that since then, they have created more than 18 shoe styles that have each sold more than a million pairs and continue to dominate the contemporary footwear market."source

The Target collection, available in stores and online since May 5th, consist of 20 different styles, with a starting price of $22.99. YES, baby! Here is a sample of the featured designs. I'm loving the touches of neon, perfect for Spring and Summer.

Target is rolling out another fabulous designer collaboration and this time it is with hot celeb stylist Kate Young.

What she has to say about her collaboration, "I've been working with Target for a number of years as a stylist, so having the chance to design my own collection with a brand I already know and love is like a dream come true,” said Kate Young. “With this collection, I wanted to design standout pieces that allow women to experiment with fashion and create their own red carpet moments.”.
