Channeling Daryl Dixon for the Walking Dead return........................ {I mean Valentine's Day!}

As soon as I saw this cape from the Adam Lippes for Target collection,
it reminded me of Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead...

See what I mean?!

I originally ordered it when the collection came out, for $60
but decided that was not a good financial decision,
so when it went on sale for $18, I decided it was time to channel some Daryl Dixon for less!

Perfect for today,

since it is both Valentine's Day & The Walking Dead Season 6 premiere!

My Valentine's Weekend so far:

Brownie batter stuffed Dunkin donut!

& beautiful roses from the local greenhouse
with a super cute card <3

& we finally tried the new crepe place in Princeton "Jammin' Crepes"

Such a cute place,
loved this ladder & mason jar lights!

Had an awesome hot chocolate!

& an apple crepe!

What I Wore: glasses- c/o Firmoo, lips- Maybelline "Siren in Scarlet", top- vintage, poncho & flats- Adam Lippes for Target, jeans- Abercrombie & Fitch, bag- vintage from my Zia

Stopped by The Bent Spoon for some "Pink Rose" & "Chocolate Covered Strawberry" ice cream
{my all time favorite Bent Spoon flavor!}

Walked to Alex & Ani to pick up a heart (RED) bracelet!

I <3 it!

I bought this card for Charlie from MsSpanner
but it is too cute, I had to hang it on my attic closet gallery wall =)
Hung with a vintage pant hanger, scored at a thrift store for $1.99 for a set of three!
Obsessed with hanging things like this! See my others here!

I also got my hubby a new tap pull from Tired Hands for Valentine's Day!

It is SO COOL!
& completes our keezer!

Valentine's Day also means it is both of my grandma's birthdays!
On Feb 14th, it is my Nonna's birthday!
I love this picture of them!

My grandma's is Feb 16th,
I love this picture of my grandparents,
we recently said goodbye to our grandpa, he will be missed in our family.

Happy Valentine's Day,
hug your loved ones tight <3

Sunday Shopping: Adam Lippes Final Update!

Everything from the Adam Lippes x Target collection arrived from my online orders,

 and it was decision time.

I did end up returning the red cape, it is too big for my short frame,

 I am not sure I would wear it enough for the price tag (+ it is slightly itchy) 

If it goes on sale eventually, I might end up getting it.

{But this one from the loft looks soft and more flattering}

I also ended up enjoying the Men's Sharpa pull over, so much so that I went with the cream one too!

I got the thermos on Ebay for a little more than listing price but I never saw it in store anyway.

I also had to get the cream and tan leather bag since I love the quality of the the plaid one & the weekender {my favorite items from the collection!}

& Finally I got the plaid knit sweater for the hubby!  

The black and white + cream pillows are perfect for the guest room, just like I thought they would be!

I am loving the dog treats canister too!

Another plaid item that I have been absolutely loving is this mixed media top from Wren and Ivory

It arrived, and it is even better in person, the quality is so nice!
I love the mix between the sweater shirt top, plaid bottom,
 leather neck details with buttons down the back, everything I love!

I will be shopping here again & again!
So much cute stuff!

Check Please! Adam Lippes for Target

I have been stalking this plaid movement

 since they announced Adam Lippes for Target collection in June

& was even more excited when I saw (and blogged) the lookbook!

Well today is the day! 

No line at my store, I walked right in at 8am & I was the only one looking at the merchandise.

Definitely a different experience knowing that I got everything I was sure I wanted

 online the night before & not stressing out

Tons of extra bags ready to be stocked...

I ordered pretty much everything I wanted online at 3 am,
after I passed out & work up to my phone in my hand and my computer screen glowing in my face...
I wanted to go to the store to check sizes because you never really know how these collections run,
as a heads up this collection seems to run a size larger

What I bought in store:

I did order this Button Down Crepe Blouse - Blue Painterly Plaid online in a large,
 but when I tried it on in a medium it fit much better,
 so I bought this in store and will have to return the other one when it arrives

I wanted to see how I liked the Double Layer Shift Dress - Painterly Plaid in person,
and I decided to take it home in a Medium

I also was interested in Waffle Knit Long Sleeve Henley - Grey with Plaid Trim, even though it is a "men's" top, I ordered it online last night in a Medium, but when I tried a small I liked it, so I bought this in store too and will return the other one when it arrives.

I also wasn't sure I would like how the Woven Jogger Pant - Black looked on,
but I loved the side plaid detail, so I picked them up in store in a medium

I also wanted to try on the Mohair Fringe Poncho - Red Plaid in person to see what I thought about it,
I did order it online last night as a spare of the moment purchase.
I liked that it is red plaid, the only clothing piece in this pattern, would have liked to see more.
Not sure about the fit (this is a S/M) / I am not sure I would wear this enough
so I will see what I think once it arrives.

So in summary:

What I bought online @ 3 am:

Weekender Patchwork Bag - Black & White Plaid / Button Down Crepe Blouse - Grey Painterly Plaid {M} / Shirt Dress - Painterly Plaid Black {Ordered in a medium- none in store to try, online it looks like it also runs big so I hope a medium is good, also looks very long,  but I was planning to belt it} / Ceramic Pet Treat Canister - Black & White Plaid / Large Crossbody Bucket Bag - Black & White Plaid / Pointed Ballet Flat - Black & White Plaid sz 6 {one for me & one for my partner in crime, my sister Bianca who was unable to be my wing-girl due to the Pope taking over the East Coast} / Reversible Pillow 14"x18" - Black Plaid / Reversible Pillow 18"x18" - Oatmeal Plaid /
MIGHT RETURN: Mohair Fringe Poncho - Red Plaid {Sz S/M} & Sherpa Half Zip Pullover - Black {Ordered in a small, was not impressed with this in store though}

What I bought in store:

Button Down Crepe Blouse - Blue Painterly Plaid {sz M + sz S for my sister} /  Double Layer Shift Dress - Painterly Plaid {sz M} / Woven Jogger Pant - Black {sz M} / Shell Crepe Tank - Painterly Plaid Black {sz Small for my sister} / Waffle Knit Long Sleeve Henley - Grey with Plaid Trim {sz S}

There was "one that got away" & that was the Hot Beverage Bottle 15 oz - Red & Black Plaid,
it was "in store only" but no stores in NJ seemed to get any stock according to the website,
will be keeping an eye out,
especially since I absolutly love my Tory Burch thermos via Neiman Marcus for Target Collection

Not officially an item of the Adam Lippes for Target,
but I also got this tartan plaid kitchen rug!
Hopefully the bulldog doesn't eat this one...

Had to end the morning with a pumpkin spice latte, especially in this super cute cup!

I cleaned it out when I got home and have decided to use it as a hair tool holder:

Can't wait to put together fall outfits with this collection!
Always fun to shop these collections!
