Missoni for Target Contest

As you probably know, the Missoni for Target collection sold out in record speed.  Many of you had to deal with frustrating website crashes and since it's not always easy to make a cross-border trip in the middle of the week, most of us came away from the whole hyped-up collabo empty-handed.  Well, not to fret my loyal, ever-stylish readers.  I dragged my family to Port Huron the day after the launch and snagged an extra Missoni for Target treat just for you.  Tell me your favourite Italian word (mine's fruttivendolo) and win this adorbs infant/toddler Missoni for Target hat & mitten set.  Will draw the winner this Friday!  Open to Canadians only.  Buona fortuna!!!

Missoni for Target. Mmmmissoni...

As you know, I adore our fine country - I try to support Canadian brands wherever possible and I'm beyond proud that our little nation produces such a rocking body of fashion talent.  However, I do have a serious weakness for Target and whenever I find myself on the other side of the border, I get all tingly with anticipation when I see that beacon of bargains bulls-eye.  Still, I rarely make the effort to cross-border shop anymore, unless there's something remarkable to be had, especially since Target will be here soon enough.

The new Missoni for Target collection, however, is one designer collaboration that I simply can't pass up.  I must have that bicycle, my husband needs some printed ties and I'm seriously considering having a third child, just so that baby can wear a Missoni onesie.  Margherita, ci vediamo piu' tardi.  La tua bicicletta sarai mia!

The Missoni for Target collection will hit stores (and Target.com) September 13th.  Be sure to check out the cute and clever tumbl'r site dedicated to the launch here.   Magnifico!
