Off the Rack: Cheap Chic Message Gifts at Target


Cute holiday gifts at Target

I wasn't really sure what to title this post, but two days ago while at Target, I noticed the cutest display of small ceramic gifts with fashionable quotes and witty messages that would make perfect gifts for all the ladies on your holiday shopping list. Small dishes that say, "A girl should be two things: Classy and fabulous," ringholders that say "My other half" and coasters that shout "Cheers!" would all be welcomed by just about anyone on your list (especially those who love pinning quotes on Pinterest). Find them in store (everything was on sale for $3.99!) and online at Target.com (sorry I couldn't find direct links to most of the items, Target's site is impossible to navigate sometimes!).

TOMS for Target is Almost Here! See Photos from the LA Launch Party




In case you forgot, TOMS for Target launches this weekend on November 16th, and to celebrate, Target hosted a celebrity-packed party in Los Angeles this past week. These photos give us a good glimpse at the products and some ways to wear the fashions (love Ali's poncho!). Some background: Target has partnered with TOMS on a limited-edition collection of home goods, apparel, accessories and shoes for women, men and children. Similar to TOMS’ One for One® giving model, for each item purchased, a donation will be made, with the potential to provide more than 11 million meals, blankets and shoes to those in need. Consisting of more than 50 items, each under $50, the collection will be available at all Target stores in the U.S. and Canada and on Target.com beginning Nov. 16. I'll definitely be checking this out as I think it's a great place to start shopping for holiday gifts!

Spot the Real: Kate Spade Leather Circle Skirt

Here's a holiday wardrobe workhorse that you'll want in your repertoire: The leather circle skirt.

See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below!
