i am a sucker for magazines.  and for a good deal!  target has a deal going on right now until friday the 7th where if you buy InStyle and People Style Watch magazines, you get a$5 target gift card!  i’ve loved InStyle for a long time, but People Style watch is newer to me.

my mom and i were able to sneak away, just the 2 of us, last week and we picked up our magazines and our gift card was handed to us at checkout.

 it didn’t take me long to decide what to do with the gift card… we had to pass a starbucks on our way out!

 but then it got even better!  at starbucks they gave us this little card – buy 5 drinks get one free.

 back to the magazines…

i love to pour over magazines to get inspiration, both for products and outfits.  sometimes just the way 2 colors are put together give me ideas for new product colorways.

clockwise from top left:

i love the idea of wearing the same piece 2 different ways, especially the sequined skirt with the denim top.

tips for photography – these little things are so helpful for me for my “what i wore” pictures.

these metallic polka-dot napkins from anthropologie are actually affordable!

i really want a pair of oxfords this winter, but i need something much more affordable than $168.

i’ve spotted this “hand made” cookie press more than once at world market and i’m tempted to get it every time!

i love these silver flats with the ankle strap!

head on out to target and pick up both InStyle and People Style Watch magazines to get your free $5 gift card – hurry, you only have until friday!  {my store didn’t have the deal marked at the checkout magazine racks, but the deal is still going on even if you don’t see the signage}
