once again, i’m a bit behind on my obligatory target post. this has prompted me to FINALLY break down, get up to speed and subscribe to my very first RSS feed (subscribe to ours here), so that won’t happen again. the photos came out a month ago, but since you’re so much more web-savvy than i am, i’m sure you already have some well-formed opinions regarding this line, which i kind of adore:
also, i just happen to be having the most frustrating day from hell, so i’m gonna go ahead and phone this one in with (gasp!) Painfully Hip’s first ever user poll! don’t get too excited now, we don’t want your head to a-splode.
for some reason, i have never once done a handbag post on this site. it’s not that i’m not totally horny for a them, but i suppose the thought of digging out all my 6 month old sushi receipts and eyeshadow coated burt’s bees chapsticks to transfer them into a different handbag for the day is beyond comprehension. so i usually just wear the same one day after day. here are a few that i could make exceptions for.
large weekender motorcycle bag $45 with discount
i loooove me a buttery, tough motorcycle bag. another wicked staple that will still be on your shoulder in a few years, collecting up all kinds of makeup detritus and gas receipts…
teal spy bag $45 with the discount
droooool! literally drooling. i’m absolutely loving luscious teal and turquoise accessories, they kinda go w/ almost any color. it’s weird.
canvas and leather convertible bag $49.99
i love me some buckles. also has an adjustable-length handle
wash canvas ruched bag $34.99
i’ve had my eye on this sexy bag for a long time now and it’s on SALE and i want it to be my lover.
sweater knit tote $14.99
this only comes in ivory now, but i imagine it’s just as cute. i’m a sucker for things made out of sweaters.
gold colorblock woven bucket bag $18
i love the contrast of woven canvas texture and bright metallic PVC. i think i might need this bag.
gray crinkle hobo bag $4.74 also comes in cream and brown
and IT’S ONLY FIVE DOLLARS! FIVE DOLLARS!!!
black cresent hobo $4.99
lovely. so cute. really, how could you need to spend $40 grand on a freakin’ handbag. it’s just stupidly retarded. not to mention completely, self-righteously insane.
large crinkle hobo: $5.49
um, i wasn’t going to post this one at first because this ISN’T A PORN SITE. seriously though, yikes! am i crazy? or maybe i’m just a total perv. which is awesome.
cropped vests are great because they can be ridiculously flattering (giving the girls a boost and hitting right at the smallest part of the waist) and can bring an otherwise drab outfit up a few notches. lazy? throw on yer jeans, a t-shirt and a teeny vest…
spring is starting to work itself out. but winter won’t go down without one helluva fight. i swear everyday has been a monkey’s wedding. big ol’ voluminous clouds, a bit of an icy breeze, scattered showers and the sun just fighting its hardest for a peek-through. casual friday, on the other hand, was gorgeous. finally a well-lit shot:
long blue tee w/ ruched sleeves: $4 at Hanger’s Discount Store
cropped vest (with an adorable satin bow at the back): $2 at Target
wooden necklace: $2 at Target
grey skinny jeans: $16 at Target
tan peeptoe wedges: $10 at Zeller’s
beer gut: priceless (it takes hard work and determination)
total: $34
and here’s a menswear-inspired office look:
black cap-sleeve tee: $7 at Target
cropped navy vest: $1.50 at Value Village
navy pinstriped trousers: $24 at Reitman’s
black peeptoe sandals: $3 at Value Village
silver bracelet of the gods: $2 at Value Village
cheapass camera: more trouble than it’s worth
total: $37.50
i’m a bit slow on this but i have to say that Patrick Robinson is right on target (oooh yeah, that just happened) with his new Go International line for Target. Even before the ghastly Libertine line can even breath its first popcorn-infused Target air (soon to be clearance section dank), they’ve already announced the new summer offering by Patrick Robinson, formerly of Perry Ellis and Paco Rabanne. although the colors are a bit dull, i really must have at least half of these things. i’m sure you can tell that i am absolutely gaga for mixed prints, especially damasks. gotsta have that mixed print bikini or damask maillot (in navy, please) and the 3/4 sleeve shift!
