Missoni Update

Good morning to all you gal pals out there! For those still interested in the Missoni for Target happenings, Missoni released in a statement yesterday that they are interested in doing a lower priced line for Macy's. Oh la la....

What are your thoughts on this? Will we all become a little ferocious again?

And if you just can't get enough of Missoni, click here, for some more interesting information.

Today I am totally craving this handbag.

Jack is One!

Thunder, tornados, and leaky roofs.  These are the things we were facing on the morning of Jack's first birthday party (which was practically two weeks ago,  but I've been working on a life-consuming paper).  You see, the party was originally supposed to be held near our house at a lovely park on the bay in a historic coral shelter.  The only problem was, the weather.

Just one of the leaks

The picture makes the rain look better than what it was,
the entire area was a humid, muddy, watery schlop

 With no other choice, the party HAD to happen one way or another, we relocated the festivities to our house.  The challenge was the space since we had not anticipated the move (and were in slight denial about the forecasted rain).  We had a mere 3 hours to prepare everything + get ourselves ready, to say we hustled is an understatement.  With Christie's quick thinking (& some yelling) she laid out the new floor plan and assigned everyone a task (being the oldest sibling, she's been preparing for this role her whole life...love you C (=  )

Food was delish! Yellow rice with chicken,

If you've read this far, I congratulate you.

 

 












 

Rachel Zoe's coveted Fashion Office

What a rainy Monday today in Miami..I swear it has rained non-stop since yesterday morning :( The only thing that excites me today, is that I get to wear my Missoni for Target rainboots! Yes!

Today I wanted to share with you, a really great article about Rachel Zoe's office. I would love to have a space like this one day!  Here are some photos from the article as well.  Hope you enjoy!

Alexa Chung for Madewell

I may be a little late in sharing this, but here are some of my favorite looks from the Alexa Chung line for Madewell.  
While, many of the items are sold out, be sure to check back often as they will be replenishing items (unlike Missoni for Target.)  Oh and yes, the limit is 2 styles per person, giving everyone an equal opportunity to purchase and no it will not be on ebay for triple the price..I am not bitter, I swear :)

Margherita Missoni tweets to followers about Ebay

Good morning everyone!

For those still interested in Missoni for Target, please read this article.

Also, if you didn't get the chance to purchase any items from the Missoni line, Target will be trickling in pieces from the line throughout the next few weeks. Keep an eye out ladies, you may be in luck.

Missoni you make my heart go boom-boom

On September 13, 2011 my life changed. Well not really. We enjoy being dramatic and figured this would be a good place to do so. We now own a little piece of fashion history, that often times seems unattainable for us working girls.

Waking up around 6:45am, we thought we would get to Target early, but on arrival the parking lot looked more like a show room. Huh? Yes, a show room. You see, I have never counted 10 Range Rovers in -a-row, with a Porsche shoved somewhere in the middle, in Target's parking lot. Now don't go hatin', I am aware that Target is an equal opportunity merchant, I am also aware that the parking lot did have TONS more cars (we got a spot all the way in the back, and yes, a range rover pulled up next to us .5 seconds after we parked), it's just that cars with starting prices at $79,658 did grab my attention.

Anyways, after that "show" came the real show, the one in the store. Simply said, it put black Friday to s-h-a-m-e (that day of the year where people supposedly buy things in anticipation of the holidays). The shelves were bare, the women crazy-eyed, and we, in shock. We turned around and dashed for the car. An hour later we arrived at Target #2 and SUCCESS! The clothing items were scarce but salvageable and we nabbed a few other items like carry-on luggage's, stockings and scarves.

Here are a few links about yesterday's Missoni Madness.

Missoni Craze

Now, ladies please relax and do not get angry with me, we are not hoarders, nor are we vicious shoppers...While our 2 (okay 3) shopping carts appear a bit stuffed, all of the items you see in the photos below are for 4 women (sisters and Mom). All in all we were able to snag, by a miracle of God, about 4 to 5 items each.

Thank you to Missoni and Target for making our dreams come true!
