Missoni for Target- Sold Out?!

Ok, Tarje... I get that you wanna keep us hungry for more, but seriously? The Missoni collection literally just came out and already everything is sold out! I heard many of the stores sold out the first hour on opening day. Not Fair!

Here are some of the items I really wanted, I know I can find them on ebay if I really want it, at some hacked up price.

This throw would have been perfect for my sofa!

so what if I don't have a baby yet?? Missoni prints are so classic, this crib sheet would have still been in style by the time I was a mommy. 

Hello awesome lounge pants, I would have had such sweet dreams in these!

I want you, for rain or shine!

Off to my "other" neighborhood Target in search of goodies- wish me luck!

My Etsy Wishlist...

Oh Etsy... you time consuming site. Let's see what I'm loving this week~

These heart dishes are so cute if you had a few in all different colors. For jewelry? even just plain on a dresser or console table would add so much charm.

So different and whimsical, this is a great way to reuse old book pages. This one of a kind Alice in Wonderland print is perfect for a nursery.

Great print for the bedroom! A reminder to never go to bed angry... which is the best advice because you truly will sleep better and wake happier~

 

Happy Wednesday! Now go buy $omething...

Wedding Weekend in Temecula

I'm heading to a wedding in Temecula this weekend and it's going to be held at a winery. I'm very excited because the bride and groom are both dear friends of mine. It got me thinking as to what I would want to wear if I didn't have a budget...

1. The weather is going to be very warm so I thought this parasol would be adorable if the b&g provided a bit of shade 2. Sunblock is a must for everyday! (even if not attending a lovely outdoor wedding) 3. This adorable clutch is perfect for holding or wearing cross-body when you need free hands to sample some wine and nibble on hors d'oeuvres 4. Hydrate! all day, everyday 5. wearing a bit of personal, subtle jewelry is always a good idea- especially this vintage looking bracelet by SGD 6. This silk dress had me at hello- classy, pretty, flirty... it's perfection.

Serendipity Magazine

Serendipity is a great magazine to help the asian bride. Have you heard of it? It gives you all the references that all brides need so it's not just for asians, but it does help when you need specific info that is culturally relevant.

 

Social Grace Designs jewelry was featured in it as well as great go-to gifts for the bridal party and even the bride herself. Thanks Serendipity!

My Etsy Wishlist

Yes, it's that time of week to share my etsy loves. I think I go on it everyday in search of everything! I buy a lot of my art from the site since I know it will usually be one of a kind. Here are a few things that I'm drooling over this week...

this Guestbook Puzzle is absolutely adorable and so clever, there are a bunch of little pieces that guests can sign and then you put it back together. love!

 

Personalized Camera Neck Strap, so vintage looking and so now.

Letter press prints have such a special place in my heart (and home). I love the texture and richness it adds to paper. especially this fabulous California Poster.

Bridal Shower Weekend

I attended a friend's bridal shower this weekend at the Chado Tea Room in Downtown LA (in the heart of j-town). It was really cute and the teas and little sandwiches were about as girly as you could get. It's so fun to be female sometimes! I love afternoon tea/high tea... it makes me happy~ Here are a couple of the gifts I got her-

Kensie underwear and matching camisole (the striped one:

 

A Social Grace Designs Hand-Stamped Necklace with her and her fiance's inititals:
