By now you've surely noticed that Target has given their One Spot a makeover, reorganizing the aisles, making it a bit bigger, and renaming it "Bullseye's Playground." My son was the first to notice the giant displays atop each shelf featuring Bullseye, Target's canine mascot, wriggling inside gift boxes. As Target reports on their blog, Bullseye's Playground will be a bit pricier, with items ranging from $1 to $5. Displays will update every 8 weeks around "holidays, seasonal mindset and kids." I don't love the price increases but I appreciate the fact that I can fit a cart around the aisle. On the other hand, the closed layout was better for containing my two-year old. Now if he wants to pick out toys, I have to chase him around in circles! It's the little things, right? Read on to see more pics I snapped at two Target locations near me. Do you like the new One Spot? Miss the old one? What changes would you like to see?

Back in October we reported that duck boots would be back in a big way this winter (SheFinds noted that L.L.Bean's iconic duck boots were already backordered as of the end of September). Sure enough, Target is selling a knockoff called the "Hudson" by Merona. The $49.99 pricetag is kinda steep for a budget boot - who knows how it will hold up compared to the guaranteed-for-life L.L.Bean duck boots ($109) - but if it's just the fashion look you're going for, then this may be the shoe for you. Choose from beige/black or brown/dark blue at target.com.*

Whenever fall rolls around, I'm immediately drawn to all things pumpkin spice. My Pinterest boards are becoming full of pumpkin spice recipes, and so is my kitchen - I'm talking pumpkin spice cream cheese, pumpkin spice gluten-free pancake mix (Trader Joe's makes a yummy one), and of course, pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks. Then there are the pumpkin spice candles that fill your home with their irresistible scent and even pumpkin spice beauty products.

With Christmas decor cropping up at retailers earlier and earlier in the season, it's easy to get a bit jaded...but even the most "bah humbug" among us would find Target's latest holiday home collections hard to resist. This weekend I took a quick pass through the aisle showcasing all the latest Threshold pieces and it was all kinds of magical. Whether you're envisioning a kitschy-chic retro Christmas with faux mercury glass trees and bright candy colors, or a traditional holidays-in-the-Berkshires type fete (see the classic collection), Target has you covered. There are also modern metallics to brighten your space (like this pillow) or rustic accoutrements perfect for outfitting any mantle (um, hello bear head). Just add hot cocoa, a roaring fire, your favorite carols and you are set. Read on for more pics...

Target has teamed up with Sugar Paper Los Angeles, a high-end bespoke letterpress stationery brand, to create both a line of stylish 2016 planners as well as a holiday collection with everything from gift wrap, to ribbon, to boxes with tissue, and charming gift toppers. The end-cap display of planners immediately caught my eye with the collection's super chic color palette of blush pink, gold, black, white and kraft brown, yummy typeface and fun prints (stripes and polka dots, naturally).
