The Target x Neiman Marcus Collection is 50 Percent Off Online and In Stores




Don't all freak out at once but the Target x Neiman Marcus collection is now 50% off in stores and online at target.com. I'm getting the Tracy Reese plates ($19.99, down from $39.99) and possibly some other items. Merry Christmas to me! It was rumored that this collection wouldn't even go on sale, let again get marked down a whopping fifty percent, but it's happening and it's happening now. Thanks to my sister for tipping me off!

Rebeca Raney for Madewell


Madewell has teamed up with Brooklyn artist Rebeca Raney for a charming collection of items featuring her whimsical illustrations, from a silk tee ($125) to notecards ($6.50). "My work is a lot like frosting - it's sweet and it's really lovely," explains Rebeca in the video above, which gives fans a glimpse into her workshop and creative process. I love Rebeca's bright color palette and playful designs, it's refreshing to see (even if the tote is priced a bit steep at $225 - artists gotta live, too, right?) Head over to madewell.com to see the complete Rebeca Raney x Madewell capsule collection.
