Off the Rack: Hollywood Intuition




Sorry for the tease, but the handbag you see above was the only remnant of the HollywoodIntuition collection to be seen at my local Target. I have no clue whether they launched early and sold out or never quite got around to stocking the line but that's all I saw. I would have asked a store employee what the dealio was, but I was in a hurry. Oh well, better luck next time! What did YOU get?




Moving right along…I spotted this woven cross-body bag by Xhilaration on sale for something like $12.98 that reminded me of certain styles of bags by the Sak. In fact, it looks almost identical to the Sak's Janet St. Mini Flap which only costs $18.85, so if you like this style, might as well get the original.




Target's watches have been catching my eye lately. They seem to have affordable imitations of all the latest trends, from watches with a "Betsey Johnson" feel to those with a "Toywatch" flavor.




Final stop in the land of mock-offs: Target's got these adorable little charms that look just like the Juicy Couture charms (shapes like roses, cake, bumble bees, lady bugs, flip-flops, etc.) for just $5.99 each. Scoop 'em up if you're into cute collectibles.

I ended up buying two pairs of rubber flip-flops in a style called "Grammy" for $2.99/pair and I swear these are the most comfortable flip-flops I've ever owned. My dear sweet dog chewed up the pair I got last season so I was thrilled to discover the same flip-flops were back in stock this summer. I don't know if they're as cozy as Havaianas but they are seriously comfy and a great deal at $2.99. Grab a pair if you see them in stores, I couldn't find them at Target.com.

That's all, folks.

Thanks so much for pointing out the Target watches - I am DYING for a Betsey watch, but definitely prefer these price tags:) Really appreciate this!

i had to go to target to buy ink today and i planned on just taking a look at the new line but i have to say i was REALLY impressed. the quality of the bags i saw were actually good, amazing when compared to that atrocious botkier line last summer. i tried to hold myself back from buying anything but i had to walk back to the display ;-) and there was only one bag of the type i bought left! a ton of larger totes though that i can't seem to find online

here's what i bought

Thanks for the update! I need to get to my target today or I just know all the good stuff will be gone!

I went to two Targets today and neither one had anything. I don't believe a stampede of crazed Intuition fans cleared out both stores...either the store didn't get the items yet or the stock people are too lazy/understaffed to put them out.
