Off the Rack: Target's Threshold Christmas Collections Are Bananas

Amazing Christmas decor now at Target
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...

Off the Rack: Sugar Paper Los Angeles Planners and Holiday Collection at Target

Sugar Paper Los Angeles planners at Target
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).
