Jason Wu for Target Long Sleeve Sheer Blouse in White with Black Ribbon

Jason Wu for Target Long Sleeve Sheer Blouse in Blush

Jason Wu for Target Straw Clutch

These are the few items that I picked up for myself from the Jason Wu for Target Collection. I think the quality of these particular blouses are very nice. They are sheer and flowy, and I think they will be a nice addition to my wardrobe. I am aware that some people buy out these collections before the average girl can get in to grab what she wants. So I have some advice for you before you head to Ebay and Craigslist.

Tips for getting what you want at retail price:

1. Do Not Buy From Ebay. Just don’t. The resellers WILL be returning the majority of their purchases. People who bought hundreds of dollars of this collection on impulse will also be returning their finds. Keep checking your local Target store over the next 3 months. (Target has a 90 day return policy) I GUARANTEE you will see the pieces come back over the next 90 days. Some will even end up on the Clearance racks.

2. Keep stalking Target.com Twitter.com/TargetStyle and Target Style’s Facebook page. They are restocking select pieces online throughout the week. Good Luck!

Jason Wu for Target is scheduled to launch on February 5th.

I was out of town and just arrived back, so I wanted to update everyone on Harajuku Mini, which comes out This Sunday November 13th! Check out the commercial that just launched. Super Kawaii

Target introduces New Harajuku Mini line for Back to School 2011

Already sold out online, check your local Target stores for this super kawaii and super affordable line of school supplies for your mini-me. Also included in the line are binders, folders and notebooks. Official Fiend Lady La spotted one bag at Target and said it immediately reminded her of my mini-shew, who wears glasses. I must say, I agree. I LOVE that they made accessories to embrace wearing glasses and being nerdy. As a mom, I also like being able to send my daughter back to school in style with options other than Dora the Explorer and Justin Bieber.

Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo ($7.99) – Formulated with keratin proteins for lasting protection and a nourishing blend of organic cocoa nut, avocado and cocoa butter oils, this sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo leaves hair with a relaxed, smooth, frizz free appearance. This luscious coconut scented formula provides a gentle cleansing that will not diminish the precious nutrients of keratin treated hair.

Created with nutrients and proteins intended to work in unison with keratin protein, Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Conditioner maintains hair’s shine and body.

I love the smell of this shampoo and conditioner set. My hair feels nourished and moisturized after shampooing and conditioning. It is important to leave the conditioner in for a few minutes to get the full effects of the products.

Brazilian Keratin Therapy Anti-Breakage Serum ($7.99) – To be used before or after blow-drying or heat styling, this blend of precious oils creates a vibrant shine with long lasting silky protection that prevents breakage without creating build-up.

Brazilian Keratin Therapy Flat Iron Spray ($7.99) – Specially formulated for flat ironing so the iron glides smoothly through the hair, Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Flat Iron Spray leaves hair radiant with a lustrous shine. Made with a silicone compound, the styling product reduces fly-aways and protects against thermal damage, smooths, and conditions hair.

The Brazilian Keratin Therapy Anti-Breakage Serum smells sooo good. It smells like sweet coconut. When I blow dried my hair, it looked sleek and smooth, and this is before I even flat ironed. The flat iron spray mists nicely and you are supposed to mist section by section as you flat iron. My hair looked extremely shiny and smooth after flat ironing.

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

• 3-in-1 wipes: remove makeup, cleanse, and nourish the skin
• Designed for sensitive skin
• Dermatologically and opthalmologically tested
• Oil-free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic
• Alcohol-free
• Biodegradable and natural cloth
• Enriched organic cucumber, aloe vera, dead sea minerals, and green tea

How to go from zero to clean in just a few seconds:

Lift the lid and remove towelette. Gently wipe face and neck to cleanse and rid skin of impurities and makeup. Don’t even think about rinsing… no need! You’re clean. You’re nourished.

I’ve been testing these Yes to Cucumber facial towelettes for a few days now, and I’m happy (and quite surprised) to report back that they did not irritate my sensitive skin! The cloth is soft, yet effective, and did a good job of removing my makeup. (I imagine that thick sunscreen may still need an oil cleanse) I don’t use waterproof mascara, so I can’t attest to it’s abilities in that department. My skin looked clean and even, with the exception of a few hormonal blemishes. (It’s that time of the month) I did not rinse, as directed, and while this worried me, my skin felt soothed so I went to bed. I woke up and my skin looked nice. No sticky residue, no irritation, no dryness, it’s a miracle!

While I still love a good oil cleanse, especially when wearing high spf sunscreen or a full face of evening makeup. I’m not opposed to using these on light makeup days, at the gym, or when traveling. They convinced me to say Yes to Cucumbers!

Yes to Cucumbers facial towelettes are available for sale at Target and Walgreens stores. For a limited time you can purchase these wipes Buy One Get One Free on YestoCarrots.com

Margherita Missoni was recently photographed filming for a new Missoni advertisement. These just may be the first photos to show the actual goods from the Missoni for Target Collection, scheduled to launch in September.

Loving the male model’s sweater and scarf.

I see the bicycle, a laptop case and luggage.

Here we are shown a glimpse of the housewares.

Are you excited for this collection?

I think I’m only interested in the bicycle and maybe a scarf. The Missoni look has always been a good runway look to me, and I LOVE the swimwear. But as far as dressing head-to-toe in Missoni stripes and zigzags.. I’m not sure it transcends from runway to reality.

I’m loving the color peach lately. These little shorts from H&M make me want to become a runner.

This elegant flower caught my eye too, also a peachy shade.

From afar it looks like a typical flower..

Upon closer inspection, it’s actually made of feathers.

I think it will look pretty pinned next to a messy side bun.

I’m thinking my recent fondness for the color may have something to do with this peach iced tea that I’ve been sipping on daily. It’s not from Starbucks.. I just reuse their cups.

I probably won’t become a runner any time soon, but I can lounge around my house in my peach shorts and drink my peach iced tea. Yea.. that’ll do

Currently loving the Gold Teardrop Hoops and Bright Wrap Bracelets from the Calypso St. Barth for Target Collection.

Decently priced at $14.99 and far better quality than Forever 21 goods.

Beachy accessories make me feel Coastal Chic, even when there’s no shore in sight.

You don’t need fancy scrubs to get rid of dry, flaky skin. You may even have everything you need for soft, smooth skin right in your kitchen cabinet.

• Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into your palm with your regular gentle face cleanser for some extra exfoliation. Rinse off thoroughly to reveal a smooth and bright complexion. (Once a week should be enough, Don’t over do it)

• Make a paste out of a handful of baking soda and water to scrub your body. This works great for the feet when you can’t get in for a pedicure.

• Add a cup of baking soda to your bath water for super soft skin. I noticed sodium bicarbonate is a main ingredient in many of LUSH’s bath products. It doesn’t quite compare to the experience of a LUSH bath, but it’s a nice alternative for when you don’t have a LUSH bath bomb laying around.

• Sprinkle some baking soda into your palm along with your shampoo. This is especially good for people with dandruff problems. Massage away the itchy, flaky skin and your scalp with feel clean, and hair clarified.
