Libertine for Target

This is kind of late, as there are already ads for Libertine for Target, but that's what I'm posting about. I have mixed feelings about the collection after seeing the pictures on Target Corporation's website (see below). Of course, the article in Teen Vogue made it very appealing, but the whole collection somehow never makes it to my Target store, and buying it online just doesn't have the same appeal. Target's website doesn't present the clothes very well and often detracts from a collection's image.

Anyway, hopefully some of the better pieces will make it to my Target store, and hopefully this won't be as much of a letdown as some of the others have been. I'm most looking forward to the striped shirtdress, trench coat, bow blouse, cornucopia shirt, and screen-printed shorts. There's also a black crepe dress with white at the collar, which could be either very pretty or very awkward.

Aside from Target, I've been looking at Topshop's website but had to stop because of the heartache it was giving me. I don't buy things online (not having a credit card is probably a big factor in that) and my nearest Topshop is across the Atlantic ocean, so it was painful to see all the fabulously gorgeous shoes, dressses, and bags. Topshop, unfortunately, does not have an American equal that can combine fashion and generally affordable prices so amazingly. Also unfortunate is the fact that I won't be going to the U.K. this summer. Oh, and I'm not exactly set up for a huge shopping spree, either.

I just bought new curtains and bedclothes from IKEA, both with black and white floral patterns. I originally wanted a damask or toile theme, but none of the fabric I found was quite right.

Well, since there is a ridiculous number of blogs out there, I'm sure this one won't get much attention, but if you do stumble upon it, please comment! Help me out here, people.
