September - Back to School

While for some school started in late August, September really feels like the official “back-to-school” month.  So, with that here’s my back-to-school shopping list:a new back pack, a tablet, a few pins, a new bike, and a new outfit! These ought to work nicely…

33 Days and Counting…

Well, Gap Rome and Milan may have had Valentino, but in 33 days Target will have Missoni.  Here’s a hint of what can be expected - - for man, woman, child and home.  On you mark….

Coming Fall 2011…

Word is that Target’s next designer collaboration is with Missoni! I find that rather exciting. Like some prior collaborations, this one with Missoni is going to include clothing as well as home goods. I don’t know which I am anticipating more. Reportedly, there will be some 400 items to choose from. I certainly plan to sample at least a few!

About this collaboration, blogger Mary Hall, who apparently goes by the moniker “The Recessionista” wrote, “Will the average Target shopper know who or what the Missoni brand is? I think not.”  Well, while I’m not at all inclined to regard myself as average, I am a shopper — Target, Marshalls, Burberry, Prada, estate sales, thrift stores, salvage, outlets, you name it!  So, I take great exception to that remark. I find it rather condescending.

Having taste is about more than what’s going on in your mouth; sometimes it involves what comes out of it!

Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist, is perhaps best known for the statement,
“I think, therefore I am.”

I’ll see his quote and add another,
“I see, therefore I shop.”
