Missoni for Target - Medallion Crib Quilt

Missoni for Target - Throw Colore

By now I'm sure you all have heard about the madness that ensued at Target yesterday. I heard the Missoni Target madness described as "black friday on crack". The only thing that I kinda liked was the Missoni for Target throw (pictured above) and if I'm still able to find it, I might get it. I wasn't in some mad rush for it. I may understand the Missoni madness now that I've seen the bumper pads and the baby quilt. I'm now in the "I have to own these items" mode. Yes, the bumper pads and quilt are kinda ugly and not very "baby" but that's why I like it. So if anybody comes across these items, please hit me up. You'd make this expectant momma very happy. Want to know what else I'm drooling over? Look below...

H&M boots - Won't break the bank and you can pair them up with almost any outfit.

Frye 'Shirley' Over The Knee Boot - A bit on the pricey side (at least for me) but I can't stop drooling over them.

H&M Baby Boy plaid shirt - Layer a onesie underneath or a cute t-shirt w/a pair of jeans.

H&M Baby socks - I just think these are adorable.

H&M Baby Boy Cardigan - This just needs a cute pair of khakis and a baby flat cap.

H&M maternity denim shirt - Figures I'd find this when I'm almost done with my pregnancy... grr!

Forever 21 Hunter Jacket - I'd layer a grey hoodie underneath this jacket.

Forever 21 Elbow Patch Cardigan - A) it's the mustard color that I love B) you can pair this with so much

'Metallic Military General' Crossbody Bag - It's a Marc by Marc Jacobs ... 'nuff said!

(Oh, the outfits I could create with this skirt)

Around this time of year, I always want to do "back to school" shopping. It's one of the things I miss from being younger. I miss being able to update my wardrobe with fall pieces. I want to retire the sundresses and start bringing out the yummy warm socks and my knee high boots. This year is a bit more frustrating. My "bump" seems to be growing at a rapid pace that half of my maternity wardrobe no longer fits like it used to. For someone who enjoys fashion - this is very frustrating. What's a girl to do?

A. Get creative (in the words of Tim Gunn "make it work") w/what fits

B. Start daydreaming about the fall pieces you'd love to add your wardrobe.

Here are just a few pieces that I saw recently and really liked. Enjoy!
