Watch This: Poppytalk for Target Teaser


Target released a short teaser video for their upcoming party collection with top Pinterest pinner Poppytalk, available June 22 in all stores & on Target.com. This is the second installment of Target's "Pinterest" party collaborations; the first was Oh Joy! for Target . It's cute stuff and worth a look if you love throwing fashionable fetes, and while I find it to be a bit overpriced, I noticed it does get marked down quite a bit (not sure many people know about or are looking for these collabs). Check out the Poppytalk for Target page for more details on the products and pricing.
