Jonathan Saunders at Target? No... Shiny Leggings? Yes!

So you've probably heard/read in our previous posts all about the Bulleye Bodegas that were a 4-day special event that featured designers/collections for Target not yet available in stores. I had picked up a few pieces at the press event and was eager to see more. Earlier today I heard a rumor that Jonathan Saunders had hit stores a week early at the Brooklyn Target, so I went to investigate for myself.

The verdict? The collection has not hit, there are a random smattering of items in various sizes. Usually no more than one piece in one size of one item.

Reality? I suspect people returned their Bullseye Bodega purchases in-store to create the random smorgasborg of offerings.

But the visit wasn't a total loss...as I found something I've been looking for at an incredible price!

The Item: Shiny leggings! Shiny Leggings have been spotted on various celebrities (ie. Rihanna, Kate Moss, Mary Kate Olsen etc) since last year.





The Kova & T Oxy legging being the most popular but at a price tag of $115 I wasn't sure how badly I needed them. But these aren't even the most expensive of the ones that I have seen, Les Chiffoniers has a PVC version for a whopping$405 which I think is a pretty extreme price for unbreathable PVC. American Apparel has plenty of shiny leggings in a rainbow of colors for $42 which isn't bad. But it was at Target that I got totally excited to find Xhilaration at Target did a version for the budget friendly price of $12.99! Unfortunately these are not available online at the present time, but there was about a rack left when I was at Target on Tuesday. I'm not sure how I'll rock these yet, but stay tuned to find out!

*Warning these don't have very much stretch because of the coating and Xhilaration is Juniors sizing so I would size up*




Also FYI although Target.com is sold out of Subversive for Target Necklaces, there are about 4 left at 75% off in store.

Now Wearing...




Extra Long Cardigan - Uniqlo
Tank Top - TNA Talulah National Athletic
Belt - No Name
Skirt - Rogan for Target
Bag - Vintage
Necklace - Dominique Cohen for Target
Shoes - Studio 9 /Nine West

The Item - Extra Long Cardigan - I was super excited to find this cardigan on Saturday! I love long cardigans but it is so hard to find one in my budget. You would have thought because they are a trendy basic, they would carry them everywhere. I searched high and I searched low pretty unfruitfully. I did find some at Uniqlo last year but only in solid cashmere for $120, this year they brought in some more affordable striped Merino Wool versions for $49.50. It comes in dark charcoal & orange, heather grey & black but I opted for the heather purple w/ pink stripes because it sort of reminds me of Burt & Ernie in a weird way!

*Edit* Actually, in all my searching I did find a long cardigan @ H&M last year and I wear it all the time, but it only came in black and isn't quite as long as this one, although I do like the fact that it has pockets on it!
