Thanks to a post by Target Addict, I learned that Target stores are already displaying some Easter items in their dollar bins as Valentine's Day winds down. I didn't find the table runner or napkin rings she posted (here), but I did discover a few cute items, mostly for kids, like Easter theme stickers and stamps. A few general spring items like striped baskets and painted wood letters would work as Easter decorations, too. I'm hoping this is just a sampling of more to come. Bullseye's Playground, as it's called, is looking really disorganized and messy these days making it impossible to find anything, whether you just need thank you cards or some dino stickers for your toddler.

I was back at Target today and noticed a few pairs of spring sandals had made their way onto the shelves. The shoe section at my local store, to be completely honest, is a disaster (and has been for a while now)...there are vast empty areas and then piles of mixed up clearance shoes (only the prices aren't even that great...$18 down from $22? Pass.) I overheard another shopper say to her friend, "I can't deal with this now...let's leave." But then I realized that beneath all the empty shelves were some new spring deliveries that had yet to be opened. So I took it upon myself to pull out one of each pair and photograph it while my toddler tried to escape from the stroller (he did). My first thought was "I can't think about sandals when there's snow on the ground." My second thought was "Didn't they sell this exact sandal last season?" But my third and final compelling thought was, "Yay, spring shoes!" Highlights for me include the Nara lace up flats, Noemi block heels and Catalina slides. The Meredith wedge is back (and it's a Michael Kors dupe, thank you Target Addict for this find), while the Kurin has an Isabel Marant vibe. It's not much but it's something to look forward to! See anything you like?

For your shopping convenience, here are (most) of the shoes shown in this post:

If there's anything I love more than fashion, it's art. During a recent Target run, one end-cap in particular made me swoon, as it showcased Target Limited Edition Collection artwork by four artists: There's colorful and trendy DIY-inspired art by Joy Cho, a graphic designer, author, and blogger (who has also designed party decor and a new nursery collection for Target); whimsical animal artwork by Marisa Redondo, "River Luna" artist and illustrator; city scenes by Clare Caulfield, artist and printmaker; and abstract florals by Kiana Mosley, artist and designer. This must be a dream come true for these talented artists who are able to reach a much wider audience thanks to a partnership with the big box retailer. And customers can discover new artists and purchase wall art that feels much more personal and unique than the average unsigned, mass produced print. Prices range from $17.99 to $34.99. Look for Target Limited Edition Collection artwork on your next trip or shop online at Target.com - right now, save an extra 10% on select home items with code DECOR10. I've got this "You're OK" by Oh Joy! print in my cart.

Yesterday I stopped by Target to check out the new Who What Wear collection, entirely expecting to be let down after seeing the look book. And guess what: I was wrong. So wrong. As much as I love online shopping, it goes to show you really need to see clothes in person to know what they really look and feel like. So what did the collection look and feel like? Stylish, sophisticated and offered in a refreshing range of sizes, from women to plus.
