Happy Hump Day! Today we have no "wish list wednesday" post. I'm very sad to report that a friend of ours passed away on Sunday and I have to attend a wake tonight. Even more sad to say that our friend was years younger than my parents, and pancreatic cancer took her life very quickly. :-(  However - a bit of good news - we have a WINNER in the Missoni for Target giveaway! Congrats to reader "Britton" with the following comment: Britton  said... I am a follower on twitter!!! September 20, 2011 4:46 AM  Please email me directly (lori.driver@hotmail.com) with shipping information and I'll get your goodies out asap! Congrats to Britton - and thanks to everyone who entered. If you didn't win this time, no worries - you know me, another giveaway is always just around the corner!  Have a Wonderful Wednesday! 

Happy Tuesday! Hope your week is off to a smashing start!  One week ago today, the Missoni for Target line launched in stores and online. We all know what happened and how difficult it was (and still is!) to find our coveted Missoni.  Yesterday I popped into my local Target and it appeared they had restocked some of the stationery items. Naturally, I was surprised - but thrilled! I picked up a few extras to share with you guys. I really appreciate all of you reading my blog, and your daily comments/Facebook posts. So without further ado, welcome to the Reader Appreciation Giveaway!  One reader will win the items pictured above. This set includes the Composition book, the Pencil Box Set, and the Journal. All are in the highly coveted Colore print and will dress up your desk, laptop bag, or make that work just a little bit easier to tolerate. :-)  How can you qualify to win the giveaway?

TGIF, Shopaholics! Well, we've certainly heard a lot about the Missoni for Target line this week, haven't we? Everyone knows - it sold out in hours online and in store, folks were fighting over merchandise in the aisles, and many peeps are extremely  upset over the prices being charged in the secondary market.  Since the craziness of Tuesday, the one question on every one's mind has been "Will Target restock the collection? When? What items will be restocked?" I have been wondering too - this week I have spoken to my favorite local Target employees, researched online, read all the news articles, seen the CNN reports, etc. The answers have been conflicting, at best. However, now this Shopaholic has "Restock Recon" for you. Please don't ask me where I acquired this information, because I can't tell you. I'm sworn to secrecy. Without further ado, here is the deal...plan accordingly.  The following departments will be restocked in som...

Happy Hump Day!  Did you brave the crowds and craziness yesterday for the launch of the new "Missoni for Target" designer collaboration? I have to admit, I knew it was coming and I knew it would be "huge" - but I didn't expect what happened.  First off, I counted on people in my little beach town having no idea what Missoni was and being completely disinterested. Duh. Big mistake. Additionally, I have to admit I didn't expect the quality to be that great, based on the price points.  Surprise! My Target was almost wiped clean by 2pm when I finally arrived. The Target website crashed early in the morning - and by the time it finally recovered late last night, almost everything was sold out. However, I was lucky - and after seeing everyone's posts and comments on Facebook last night, I am more than thankful for my good fortune. The Shopaholic Shopping System was in full swing yesterday. Between me, my sister and one of my BFF's - we were te...
