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.

Off the Rack: Stylish Pillows Under $20 at Walmart


Chic pillows at Walmart Under $20

I popped into Walmart over the holiday weekend for some random necessities and noticed they've got a few really cute decorative pillows, including some off-white flokati style pillows for $15.97 each, chic chevron for $9.97, faux cowhide for $13.97 and gold fretwork (Moroccan trellis) for $9.97. Honestly, you could toss any of these pillows onto a chair or sofa in a stylishly decorated home and you'd never guess they came from Walmart. I was in a hurry on this trip so I didn't buy any but I'm planning on going back for a couple, the tough part will be deciding which ones to get. With a baby and a big dog, I can't risk spending more than $20 (at most!) for a pillow, so these will be perfect for my home.

Everyone's favorite tropical fruit is cropping up everywhere from graphic t-shirts to printed shorts as well as fun accessories.

And you can't help but think of warm, tropical beaches and drinks by the pool when your eyes spy this juicy fruit.
