Who What Wear At Target

Right before Christmas I partnered with Target to try their Who What Wear line.  I had never seen anything from them before so I did not know what to expect!!!  OMG!!! I was pleasantly surprised.  I spent the past 10 days with my parents in Florida and I decided to give my new Target wardrobe a try.  I was so pleasantly surprised with all the pieces.  They looked much more expensive and everything was so stylish!!  My mom, who is a tough critic, was shocked at how cute all the looks were.  With her stamp of approval, I decided to share some really fun, inexpensive fashion finds with you for the new year!!!!

This dress is so adorable…I love the bow tie neck..Its hard to choose which color to pick!!!

This maxi dress is amazing..I love the light orange color…it runs large so go down a size or 2!!!!

If red is your color, you have to get this dress…the style is soo flattering!!

I bought this blouse in the black and wore it with white jeans!!!!!!

This blouse looks amazing with leather pants!!!!

I did not buy these yet but I am going to get the cream for the spring/summer..I love the front slit!!

Both of these blouses reminded me of Liberty of London and they both look great with jeans!!!!! I wore them with my dark flares!!!!

I love both of these sleeveless blouses!!!

These pants were by far my favorite piece in the entire collection..I wore mine with a black blouse but they would look great even with the sleeve top mentioned above.

Packing Up Your Decorations?

Tomorrow is the Feast of the Epiphany, or the day when the three wise men visited the baby Jesus.  It is said that you should wait until this feast day to take down your Christmas decor.  This year, especially I have received so many requests on how to store Christmas decorations.  I have compiled a list of some of the best things to help keep your collection neat and tidy and ready for next November/December!!!

I just ordered these to store my wreaths!!!!

These are perfect for storing your lights!!!!

I use these bags to store smaller artificial trees and garland…

These are my go to storage bags…they hold everything…

This is the best ornament storage box…each ones holds up to 64 ornaments!!!!

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the messy package of extra hooks and buy this for next year……

This will keep all of your electrical cords nice and tidy!!!

Do you have Christmas plates or glasses? This is just the thing you need!!!

If you have an artificial tree, this is an amazing way to store it!!!

I like to store extra gift bags, tags, bows, etc in this bag….

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!!  I am wishing everyone a very special day celebrating with those you love the most.  I wanted to share some very amazing Christmas decorations with you today.  I recently went on a girls trip to London.  I had never been to Europe during the Holidays and I have to say it was Magical.  I highly recommend planning a trip to London during the months of late November or December, right before Christmas.  The stores, hotels, and restaurants really go all out decorating.  It is amazing!!!! ENJOY and Merry Christmas to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!!!!!
